twig from a quince bush growing in
Judge H. K. Hanna's yard that is a proof
of the wonderful prolificness of fruit trees
lit this section. The twig is but 21
inches in length yet it carries 10 <1 ainces
than run from 11
to 14 inches each in
circumference and are perfectly formed
an<l a rich golden yellow. The twig is
but a sample of the entire tree, which is
so heavily laden with fruit that it would

from limb to limb.

reports some snow in his section, that fell
during the last storm in the high altitude
but that is an advantage to the placer
miners as it is now melting and giving a
steady supply of water. Mr. Desang
stated that there much mining activity
in his district and that if the season was
favorable there would be a good output
of gold. Many prospectors were in the
hills and there was a likelihood of some
good finds being made.

Compiling Delinguent Tax List.
Deputy Sheriff Oris Crawford is at
work making up the delinquent tax list
ready for publication which he expects
will be early in November with the date
of sale about December 20. The delin
quent list for this year will amount to
about $9,900 while that for last year was
a little over $5,000. Most of the delin
quents are persons who paid half of their
taxes last spring, and have forgotton or
for some other cause have failed to pay
the other half. Ashland has the greatest
number of delinquents and Roxey pre
