FORMER MAYOR KlaiUNE SCJIMITZ ol'Snn Fran cisco, convicted grafter, creature of political and social corruption, has fathered an effort to recall Mayor Rolph upon trivial charges. Jn Jackson county, a disgruntled contractor is making a clandestine effort to recall the county court upon such trivial charges that he is ashamed to publish them. Both instances arc rank abu.se of the recall and tend to discredit popular government as opening the way for any disappointed grafter and unsuccessful contractor to question the honesty and integrity of public officials with out submitting proof of accusations or furnishing data justifying such action. The recall thus becomes a club in ihe hands of tho grafter seeking spoils and a bludgeon in the hands of the contractor seeking contracts. ".Submit to our demands or we will start a recall," is the throat and tho more honest and efficient tho official the more liable he is to be threat ened with recall by disgruntled greed. The local recall is fathered by a contractor who did not secured desired contracts. Petitions arc being circulated in the country by disappointed candidates for appointment as road supervisors or their relatives. The advocates are those with selfish grievances. No good faith or sincere desire for betterment of conditions is manifested anywhere along the lino. Tlio trivial charges made against tho count v court are . 1. 1 il 11 j i nit suown oy ine recall pennons, wntcii read as loiiews: Whorons, Tho county court of Jackson county.

Mndden, commissioner. - -M.- ns provided In section 18, nitlcle II, Constitution of Oregon, uud Hint a recall election bo called fnrtwlth for tho purpose of submlttliiR such re call to tho voters of snld JavVson county. No proof is offered of those accusations and none can be offered, as they fire false. There was no road lovy made in 1J)M and 1!)1.1, but a general lovy made to cover the budget, with a specified amount for roadwork. Tn this way the eities that benefit, by tho roads help pay their cost. The court has lived within its receipts and budget estimates not spout the general fund upon roads and not piling up new warrant indebtedness. It has reduced the county indebtedness $ir)l),()(K) in throe years, and if the Southern Pacific hud paid the $21(),()U) it owes on the O. & ( land grant, would have reduced it that much more. Rut it is not intended to use those alleged discrepancies as anything but a peg to hang tho recall petitions upon. Home excuse had to bo offered that would escape tho slan der laws, and the intention is to back up tho petition by a campaign ot verbal inuondo and domination to capitalize tno discontent ol hard tunes and high district and town m DIRECTORS FRUIT ASSOCIATION FOR COMING YEAR Wwftly Kws Lettsr of no$m Rhrr Fruit and Produce Asociatbti Box Shooks Purchase d for Coming Season Enable Lowest Prices Packlnu Charges Fixed for Year. taxation sKtiiKing nictiioos in Keeping Willi the sneaking tactics of the instigators.

MAI N'o woman on the stage of today will be H more welcome xisitot locally annually than May Ilobson, tho dis tinguished American comedienne, who appears at the l'njic theater next Tuesday night in "The Making Over of Mis. Matt," her latest success-, of fering her delightful interpretation of Unit dear middle west woman who re mains true to her ideals, her love uud her belief in justice. Miss Itobion iu this play needs hardly nny announce ment, for her portrayal of a true rural lady aud her milking into a modern woman of modioli mien is too well known; suffice thnt from n coun try bred wotnnn she becomes a fond, (indulgent, lnatter-of-fnlt, sensible H)ison with it little "spoity," but' not too gay a finish. Hut the piny, well it is James Forbes-' clever comedy, "The Miking Over of Mr. Matt." ".Mis. Matt" is said to surp'i both "The Chorus l.adv" and "Tho Trav eling Siiliviuiin" in Inugh-piovokiug iiinlitie, and .Miss Kobson, in a sweet, wholesome, oliliftialiioipvd, ! freshing way, gives to 'Mrs. Matt" her best histrionic ability, with the icsHill that after vicwinjr the Forbes piny mmi will leave Ihe theater wifh a feeling thut the whole world is akin. The plnv will be superbly staged, Mis Kobson bringing the entne set tings and clfocts, as well as a thor oughlv adciuate cast with her. Y IS SENIORS' PLAY The action in tho first three acts of the comedy "Merely Mary Ann," takes place in a Ixuulnn rooming house, one similar to that in "Pass ing of the Third Floor Back." Mnrv Ann is a little slavey who works there. She falls in love with Lance lot, a lodger, who plays beautifully and coniM)scs classical music. Thej plan to go away together, but fate takes a hand nnd Mary Ann falls heir to an inunense fortune. Loncelot, though the son of a baron, is poor, and his hatred of tho plutocrats and his pride now stand in the way of marriage to Mary Ann. Ho leaves without her. The fourth net shows tho bountiful drawing room of Miirv Ann's (uovv Lady Marian's) palatial home. Dur ing the pnst six years Loncelot hns become famous, principally through his opera, "Maid Marian." Ho meets Marian when he comes to ni range for a concert. He fails to rceogiiirc her for awhile, and, when he docs, his propobnl is refused by Lndv Marian, but accepted bv Meiely Mary Ann. Other characters: Peter, Loncclot's friend; Mrs. Lcndbattcr, tho loud lady; Rosic, her daughter; Lord Val entine and olheis.
