It is probable that the county will vin tUl contentions
a city should not be eliminated from general county

seriously cripples the county's finances aud operations,
pending litigation.
Why were these contentions not raised ju previous

The timber laud liko ,tlie railroad land in Jackson coun

ot; timber annually are lost through over-ripeness and
fires. All the lumber used in the valley 1ms to be im

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

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

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

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.
