From the city dailies we learn that
there was serious damage done through
out the California citrus bell by virtue
of the recent cold spell. It is estimat
ed that California fruit growers will
realize a loss anywhere from $-JO,000,-000
to $10,000,000. This will also
greatly reduce the revenue of the
railroads. The orange and lemon
crops were just beginning to ripen be
fore they were caught by the fronts
and growers are now throwing them on
the markets to get whatever prices
they will bring.
As a result of the destruction ot
California fruits and a destructive
cyclone in the region of banana plant
ations the marketing of the famous
Oregon apples will be greatly aided.
It is expected thai this condition will

The State Hoard ot Tax Commission
era at Salem has officially announced
for 1913 the lowest state tax levy In
j the history ot Oregon. The levy will
be 1.2 mills. Predictions of 1.8 mills
was hrst made and later 1.4 mills, but
It was not believed that the levy would
reach the low water mark. Thia levy
will be to produce SI, 0.S6.0U a state
taxes for the coming year. The official
assessed valuation is placed at Sl06a
011.679.
In addition to the regular state levy
1-25 of a mill will te levied to support
the Oregon Normals at Monmouth, at
voted by the people in 1910. Thia will
realise S36.200. making total of $!.
'122,124, which the people of Oregon
will be required to raise as the atate
tax for the coming year. The board
aucceeded in "saving" a considerable
amount from last year's fund, resulting
in holding the levy down for 1913.
Over S500.000 in taxea were paid in a
year ago to cover the appropriation
which was made for the University of
Oregon improvements. This money,
however, was first held up by a refer
endum and later the Supreme Court
decided that the question of whether
the referendum shoul'l be exercised
should be answered in the affirmative.
The two appropriation bill went
before the people and met witn an over
whelming defeat. As a result the
money was in the State Treasury with
no means of expending it, so it was
applied on the taxes for the coming
year and this decreased the levy materially.

A new way lor catching coyotes
around sheep campB without the use

head through. The sharp points of
the star are bent downward and a bait
of bacon, eggs, chicken or dead horse

coyote puts hia head in the can and the
sharp points of the star catch In his
mane and the thick hair around hia
neck and he la unable to withdraw it.

manner will walk backward in a circle
with the can on hia head and will not
get far from the locality where the
snare is placed, ,
