set Borough passed a similar ordi-

nual tax of fifty cents, but after the

amount the borough authorities de-
cided to accept ten cents for each pole,
which a number of the corporations
perhaps all of them, have been pay-
ing without requiring the Council to
pass an ordinance fixing an amount.

POLITICAL
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Of Republican Candidates
is enrolling more voters and workers ;
in his interest and while his strength
will be in the northern end of the
county, he certainly will pull
vote at the bottom end also.
That staunch, sturdy rebuker of
extravagances and derelictions in
county affairs, Jacob Koontz, who is
now county commissioner was calling
upon friends here last week and the
public is realizing that Mr. Koontz is
needed to be continued in his present
position.
J. W Rephorn who is in the race
for county treasurer is working this
end of the county and he appears san-
guine of success; besides he is one of
those who needs the office for a live-
lihood for himself and family.
Elsewhere in this issue is a brief
statement of what Jacob S. Miller
who is a candidate for Co. Commis-
sioner did for this county some years
ago when he was one of the auditors
It is said of him that he is and ought
to be the logical candidate of his par-
ty.
CONCERNING JACOB S. MILLER
Candidate for Co. Commissioner.
“Jacob S. Miller of Somerset Town-
ship, authorizes us to announce his
name as a candidate for County Com-
missioner. Mr. Miller is widely known
over the county as a “sane and safe”
citizen who as a member of the Board
of County Auditors seven years ago
uncovered the extravagance of the Co.
Commissioners in the building of
county bridges. The action of the au-
ditors at that time had an effect that
has not been forgotten for the rea-
son that it has resulted in a great sav
ing to the tax payers. Every one know |

Baby Chicks
The baby chick business seems to
be crowding out the setting egg ord-
ders to a large extent. A great many
people prefer to pay for the chicks
rather than buy the eggs and take a
chance on incubating them. Probably
the number of chicks hatched in a
season is considerably increased by
this arrangement, #s the large hatch-
eries can get better results than ship-
ping the same eggs to fifty or a hun-
dred small incubators to be hatched.
At any rate the purchaser is sure of
getting the number of chicks that he
wants.
Those familiar with the eastern mis-
tletoe only have no idea of the great
losses due to this parasite in the for-
ests of the west, where it counts next
to fire and insects in the amount of
damage done.
At least 25 per cent of the larch
timber over larze areas in eastern Or-
egon has been killed or weakened by
| mistletoe, and the forest service is
taking steps to combat the pest.
