Why were these contentions not raised ju previous years? "Why has the Southern Pacific paid its taxes in fhtsh witliput a murmur heretofore? "Where did it get the $50,000 and odd jn warrants it proposes to turn in? VChy have the Woyorhausers and other timber syndicates never protested road levies heretofore?

The timber laud liko ,tlie railroad land in Jackson coun ty js held Co' speculative purposes only for the unearned increment. 2jTo operation is attempted. Millions of Jeer ot; timber annually are lost through over-ripeness and fires. All the lumber used in the valley 1ms to be im ported, 'rhe policy pursued by the non-resident owners is a detriment to the community and its dveeiopment. The onlj benefit the county receives is from taxation and the land is not assessed at anything like what it is held for any more than railroad land is. The county should force the .timber barons and rail road magnates to share their unearned increment with the people that create the values, tions of their hokungs. In tins way the co-operation m development the- withhold can be jbrcibly exacted. If they don't like the treatment, let them sell to some one who will operate. Let them become developers instead of speculators tying up the revenues of the county i,br tho benefit of the idle rich still unborn. How to Get Rid The fly.is a nuisance beside being a carrier of infectious disease, and tho attempt to exterminate it needs no justification. How one can make one's home, town or city flyless i described by C. F. Hodge- of Clark University, Worcester, Mass. He tays that the American public spend $10,000,900 a year jfor .window and door screens in a futile attempt to exclude n lively incct which insists oh getting Into the houc every timo the doors are opened. Ho believes also .that the method of .swntinsr the lUc-i, using fly-paper or indoor traps or poisons is ineffective, but may help. His method is .to make use in various ways of the conical wire-mesh fly-trap, which is familiar to almost every one, in such a way as to turn the tables on the flies and "put them in jail and let ourehes out." The plan involves, of course, the aboli tion as far as possible of all breed ing and Xeeduig places for flies and tho application of the Ily trap men tioned above to the garbage can, to tho screens on windows, to tho cov LANT E E LONDON', March 17. Unusual ex uberance marked today tho celebra tion here of St. Patrick's day, Queen Mary and Dowager Queen Alexandra participating in the ceremonies. Jub ilant over the prospect of homo rule becoming effective within eighteen mouths, the sons of Krin entered into the festivities with great enthusiasm. Great parades marked the day here and in IJelfubt, Dublin, Cork and else, where, and numerous functions wore held throughout Knglaud tonight.

Garbage enns are on the mnrket which Jiavc a cover larger than the can and not fitting down closely on it so that the flies gain access tp the can under the cover and coupe through a hole in the cover over which is fixed n lly trap. In fighting the fly, Hodge has found thai the eeutials of a successful cam jiaign nre to transfer the fight against the fly from the hotino to outdoors, and then to cxtenninnte it. Another essentia! feature in a town "or city is that households must cooperate. One ignorant or careless homo can breed flics enough to vitiate the best endeavors of a whole town. Hodge has succeeded in his neighborhood in practically eliminating lies; he uses no screens in windows mid doors, and can sit out doors or have windows or doors open at any time without moles lotion. As Hies begin to breed early in tho spring and as they breed with innrvehJus rapidity, the time to ar range for a fly-campaign is in the winter. E SAN FRANCISCO, March 17.

The twentieth round fiui-h at Ver non found tilth "Mud'' Andor-ou ly. ing bnck over the ropes in his own comer with a blind jjtnro in his c,c.s. The Mcdford youth was through for the day. Three feet away stood 'Kuo.ckmit" Drown, tottering on logs that were barely nble to hold his weight. Dazed by the puuNhmcnt ho Jind taken ami crazed by the thought of a ism11c uctory, Drown was squinting through swollen eyes and shaking his wet glows in an uncertain manner ns though trying to decide which of the nineteen Andersons he would attack. Had there been ten seconds more to go one clean job on the chin Drown would have been credited with a knockout uctory. With the clanging of the gong, the hound of which could not be heard a yard from the ringside, Referee Charley Kytou took in the situation with one flash of his eye. Kven while "Fat Al" was reaching for the bell cord Evton hnd balnnccd Anderson's helpless condition with the fact that upon no less than six occasions "Hiul lm.1 lifaten Urown .to the ergc of n knockout.

Drown swung in one blind blow after another as he charged his man around tho nig. With only n minute left to work ,in, ".Knoekoul" caught Anderson with a left on tho jaw and "Dud" sank to the floor. Hyton got only a short way with the count when Anderson regained his Tret, so badly hurt that his ouo thought was of self preservation. Drown was in no condition to take ndnntngo of the situation. On the neck, chest and arms he showered useless punches, with Anderson clinching and holding on to save him self. One left got home to the chin and Anderson went back over tho ropes with nil tho fight beaten out of him. Drown, bewildered and battle-worn, hesitated about following his victim up, and us he looked about in blank nmnzement the hell sounded. Two minutes Inter, with a hundred men paeUd inside tho ropes, Drown looked up nt "Dumb" Dan Morgan in puzzled fashion and asked: "Who won the fight!" Anderson was car ried to his diessing room beforohe hnd a clear idea of what the fiuish had been. first mid ty'toml K.cn. The first mid second rounds wcro even.
