TAX RATE REDUCED
TO S1.01 THIS YEAR
QLENDALE, Aus. 19. The town
council at its . last meeting officially
adapted a budget "for tie ensuing fiscal
y sar, fixing th amount of money to be
raised by direct property taxation at
$21,733.39, and the tax rate for the
period at $1 per hundred dollars ot
property valuation.
This compares with a tax rate of
$1.64 per hundred last year, and the
total amount to be raised by direct
taxation this year is several thousand
dollars lower than for last year. This
was brought about by lopping off the
tentative budget pome $35,000. which
the city expects to raise by the sale
of recently voted bonds, as the council
now expects to be able to place these
bonds during the year.
With a cut of 64 cents In the Hty
tax rate, and a reduction of 30 cents

price within the next few days.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20. Forest
fires were worse in Montana, Idaho,
and California today, high winds in
places nullifying defensive work of
weeks.
In northern Idaho and western
Montana winds have spread fires be
yond control of the fire fighters, for
est officials announced. The worst
effect has been felt in the Selway,
Kaniksu and St. Joe forests in Idaho
and the Flathead forest in Montana.
The Otter creek fire m the Selway for
est has covered 4.000 acres.
In" California, towns in the old gold
mining district in Stanislaus, Tuol
umne and Calaveras counties, and
even as far distant as Stockton. 73
miles away, have been called upon for
aid in flshtins a fire that has burned
more than 10.000 acres of the Stanis
laus forest. This fire is threatening
valuable timber.
Another fire has swept 20,000 acres
in the Lassen forest and a third is
burning uncontrolled in the Klamath
forest. One fire, i-n the Shasta forest.
was controlled today.
CANTALOUPES 1
TUCK DISTRICT
BRING LOIN PRICES
GLENDALE, Aug. 19. Information
to the Glendale District Commercial
club from the Turlock, Calif., canta
loupe district tends to show that the
melon growers of that section are re
ceiving much lower prices for their
product than were commanded by the
Glendale cantaloupes.
Recent advices show 'that Turlock
growers were receiving but from 65 to
80 cents a standard crate for 45-pack
cantaloupes, whereas none of the Glen
dale melons sold here for less than J 1.75
to $2 per crate of 45.
Many local growers, however, pro
fess to believe that the pending freight
rates, which are to undergo a big in
crease at the end of the month, will
have a far-reaching effect upon the
cantaloupe industry in this district. It
is believed that, because of these higher
rates, it may not be profitable to ship
cantaloupes to eastern markets next
season, and, with this opinion holdlnB,
a big cut in cantaloupe acreage next
season may result.
Returns from the cantaloupe pool of
the past season, however, show very
good returns, so far as market condi
tions were concerned, aphis and early
rains causing some losses in the fields,
third settings being abandoned in many
cases without picking,

Republican A. P. Leased Wire
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 20. Eighteen
automobiles were damaged and a tire
shep and a garage were destroyed by
a 420.000 fire in the business section
of Tucson yesterday. The auto
mobiles were mostly cars left in stor
age at the garage. The fire originated
from a vulcanizing burner in the tire
shop, fire department officials said.
The building was owned by George
Reed and was damaged about $3,000.
The Gates Half Sole Tire agency dam
ages amounted to about $2500 and the
Miller Automobile company abzout
$5000. The remainder of the estimated
damage was to the cars. The loss was
only partly covered by Insurance.

APPLICATION MADE -FOR
FREE DELIVERY
OF MAIL IN GLENDALE
GLENDALE, Aug. 19.' Postmaster
Hawks has made application to the
postal department at-Washington for
free city1 mall delivery for Glendale,
and has asked for the assignment of
two carriers to the city to taKe care ot
the volume of business now mostly
handled through the general delivery
window.
This follows action of the Glendale
District Commercial club In securing
the co-operation of the town council
in the signing of the streets and num
bering of the stores and houses, a
requisite to free mail delivery stipu
lated by the postoffice department. The
council has secured and erected at all
the principal street intersections neat
metal signs giving the names of the
streets, as fixed in the new survey
of the city, and most of the houses have
now been numbered.
As the volume of business at the
local postoffice, because of the rapid
upbuilding of the city the past year or
so, has long been sufficiently great to
entitle the town to free delivery of
mail, it was but a qpestion of comply
ing with the postoffice department re
quirements as to street signs and house
numbers, to secure this free service,
and it is expected that when a post
office inspector arrives here to investi
gate. Postmaster Hawks application,
he will promptly endorse the applica
tion. o

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 20. Although
Lower California is a territory and cot
a state, its people will be permitted to
name their own governor, Eduardo
Ruiz. Mexican consul, announced to-
aay.
Ordinarily Lower California's gover
nor would be appointed by the central
government, Senor Ruiz declared, but
the provisional authorities had ar
ranged that a special election be held
in the territory early next year.
Senor Ruiz added that either Balde
romero Almada, now living here, or J.
M. Carpieo, former consul, probably
would succeed Luis M. Salazar as tem
porary governor, to serve until the
election.
It was reported today from Mexicali
that everything was quiet there, and
that Colonel Esteban Cantu. who sur
rendered the governorship last night to
Lui's M. Salazar, probably would leave
very soon.
NEBRASKA SOCIALISTS BUSY

by Eva Pardee Travis, secretary of the
socialist parcy of Nebraska, that that
organization will ask for a place on ttu

he will place the socialist ticket on the
ballot when 500 voters petition it.
