If the taxes against any particular parcel of rcol property, or the toxes on per sonal property charged against any Individual, firm, corporation, or as sociation, arc not paid before the first day of April, penalties shnll be charged on such taxes and added to and collected with tho samo as fol lows: "1.

A penalty of five per cent on SPRINGER, RELUCTANT, PASSES - JUDGMENT ON CRAZY MAN PRINEVILLE, June 9. Judge G. Springer began last week a parolo system that's got Governor West beaten to a franle. Had It not been for the earnest entreaties of County Physician Edwards, Sheriff Elklns and Deputy District Attorney Wlrtr he would havo turned loose on the community an Insane man with the promise that he would be good and no longer carry a gun with which to get his neighbors. Sheriff Elklns brought the "bug" in from the Madras country early In the week and telegraphed tho asylum authorities at once, thinking that there woutd be no hitch In the pro ceedings relatlvo to his proper and legal commitment. The law places this power In the hands of the county judge and It Is the custom of the oeunty Judges to depend largely upon the opinion of a reli&Me phsiclan. Not so with Springer. He would not tako Physician Edwards' report that the man was Insane. The Judge endeavored to persuade the "crazy" to be good, but there was nothing doing. He was firm In his position and would not give up his weapon and make the promise the Judge desired. So after being urged that the case was one of a serious naturo that eould only be lmndled adequately by the authorities of the Insane asylum at Pendleton, the Judge committed the Insane man, but not until he had shaken bands with him, and It Is understood, apologized for his offi cial action.

"Dear Sir: "I am In receipt of your letter and will say that Sir. G. bprloger, county" judge, did Instruct mo to put out poison for the birds and stated that ho would order other towns to poison tho birds If It was a success ful way to dsstroy them. "I did not poison any birds. Hut on Juno second, at six p. m., tho said county Judge did put out poisoned wheat on the east and wost approach to the courthouso and on the. third of June In the morning I found three wrens and put thorn In the furnace and burnt them to keen the oats from getting them. I had found out that there was a heavy penalty for poisoning birds and I do no(-see that they do any damage, but.on the other band, they do good, for they catoh tho Insects and worms on the lawn, and they nro nice to see around nnywav, I re main yours truly, (Signed) II.

"Provided, that one-half of tho taxes against any particular parcel of real property, or tho tnxc$ on per sonal property charged against any individual, firm, corporation, or as- Boclatlou may ho paid before the said first day of April, In which event the penalties specified In this section shall apply to and be collected with the remaining one-half of such taxes, to Xhs paid prior to tho said first day of September following. All taxes remaining unpaid an tho said first day of September shnll become de linquent. Upon all taxes so delin quent there shall be charged and col lected n penalty of 10 per cent and Interest at tho rato of 12 per cent per annum on such taxes from the day on which they become delinquent until their payment. "This means that all second-halt payments, which undor tho old law, could Ik paid before the first Monday In October will, under tho new Inw, have to bo paid before the first dny of September, nnd further, that In terest at tho rato of ono porcent per month from tho first dny of April will havo to bo paid on all such second-halt payments. "If persons who nro paying tho second-half of their taxes will tako notice of tho above and remit tho correct amount, n great deal of trouble and delay will be avoided. "FRANK ELKINS, Sheriff." "bo a blessing If your department (the game warden's) would provido for their destruction." Mr. McKay Is of tho opinion that Mr. Clow's statements, which Mr. Springer does not deny, and seem ingly cannot deny, nro sufficient grounds to procure a conviction un der the very specific provisions of the law governing tho protection of birds.
