J. W. Myers, county fruit inspector, who, with his deputies, has been having a rather strenuous season looking after the protection o f orchards, reports that the blight is practically eliminated from the valley. The situation a year ago was con sidered rather grave due to the fact that most growers in the valley were not familiar with that form o f pest and it was not until many orchards had been more or less affected that active measures were taken to combat it. So thorough, however was the campaign o f last year against the pest that only isolated cases have been found this season. “ Eternal vigilance is the price o f safety” quoted Mr. Myers, and every man who owns a fruit tree should keep a sharp eye out for the least sign o f blight and at once destroy it absolutely. Mr. Myers says the fruit crop will be better than was reported earlier in the season when it was feared that the un precedented frosty period had practi cally ruined the crop. The pear crop will be at least 20 per cent, better than last year and the apple crop will also be much better than was expected two months ago. JOY RIDERS TAKE NOTICE New law in Effect August I Makes Radical Changes. Owners of automobiles will do well to take notice that the new automobile laws passed by the last legislature go into effect August 1 and make some radical changes in the present rules governing the running o f autos. Ex tracts from the laws are as follows: Vehicles proceeding in opposite di rections shall pass to the right, giving one-half the road to each. Vehicles proceeding in the same di rection overtake each other by passing to the left. ' All Vehicle, approaching an inter section o f a street, road or highway with the intention of turning tnereat shall, in turning to the right, keep closely to the right, and in turning to the left shall run to and beyond the center of the intersection. No races o f contest for speed shall be held upon any street, road or high- in this state without the permission of the authorities o f the state, county and city having jurisdiction of said street, road or highway, and unless the same is fully and efficiently patrolled for the entire distance over which said race or contest for speed is to be held. The rate o f speed on all streets, roads and highways of this state shall be a reasonable speed, up to and not ex ceeding twenty-five miles an hour, but any speed in excess o f twenty-five miles an hour upon any road or high way in this state shall be an unreason able speed and is prohibited by this act: provided, however, that no motor ve hicle shall be driven at a rate faster than eight miles an hour upon the country roads or highways of this state when within one hundred yards o f any vehicle drawn by horse or horses. No vehicle shall be moved, run or operated on the streets, roads or high ways o f this state by any person unable or incapable to control the same with due regard to safety o f the public and other vehicles; provided, that in all cases any person in a state o f intoxica tion is deemed conclusively incapable and unable to operate and control the same. Registration o f Vehicles.—Every owner o f a motor vehicle in this state shall for each vehicle owned cause to be filed by mail or otherwise in the office o f the Secretary o f State, an application under oath for registration, on a blank to be furnished by the Sec retary o f State for that purpose, con taining (1) A brief description o f the vehicle to be registered, including the name of the manufacturer, the style, type and factory number o f such ve hicle, the character o f the power aud the amount o f such power stated in figures o f horsepower; (2) the name, residence, and business address o f the owner o f such vehicle and the name of the country in which he resides; (3) The swamp land grant to the several States is a grant in personal and an en- t ry improperly allowed must yield to the older grant. It is well settled law that neither settlement or filing con stitute separately or jointly, a sale or d sposal o f public land. An equitable title does not rest in a claimant until final rorript, or tend " <-f* payment, or o f final proof, which should o f right be accepted. Untii such condition exists, public land is not disposed of. Where the t ntryman sells his im provements and accompanies such sale by a relinquishment o f the homestead entry, he is barred from making an other entry, and the Act o f February 3, 1911, (3(5 Slat. 896), providing for allowance o f second homestead entries, will not apply to give relief.
