HE OVERESTIMATED BOOZING CAPACITY
According to a statement made by County Treasurer Albertson today the spring Installment of taxes are coming in to his office very slow. He declared
that fewer persons have paid their tax
es up to this time this 'year than In
any previous year during his term as
county treasurer.
"It simply means that a large rush Is to be expected toward the last of the tax paying period, which ends the first Monday in May," said Treasurer Albertson. "Persons who neglect to pay their taxes early, may expect to be obliged to stand in line for a long time during the last few days. It also means extra work on the office force."

(National News Association)
SPOKANE, Wash., March 27. ! Growers of winter apples throughout the Pacific Northwest, the commercial orchards of which contributed 14 per cent of the total production of the United States in 1911, already are lining up their forces to defeat a bill that is to be brought forward at the next session of Congress to regulate the size of apple boxes. The box used as a "standard the last 10 years In the Pacilc slope and intermountain country is 2,173.5 cubic inches, while the
national apple box proposed in the Sulzer bill, recently abandoned, specified 2,352 cubic inches. Since the bushel measure was figur
ed out by an English captain of indus
try, a few centuries ago, a bushel of apples has consisted of a bushel measure heaping full, with a cone six inches above the rim, or 2.747,715 cubic
inches, to be arithmetically exact; but on the other hand, the United States
customs officials, in the absence of di
rect legislation on the subject, con
tended that a bushel of apples Is like
any other bushel and should contain only 2,150.42 cubic Inches, or less than
the Northwestern box.
Now comes a decision by Judge Ma
rion DeVriea of the United States Court of Customs Appeals, who holds
in brief as follows:
"The bushel has come, by usage in
trade and commerce, to be with us the
Winchester bushel of English law pri
or to 1826, the date of the adoption of
the imperial bushel in England. By a
statute of Anne, A. I. 1801, recognising a trade usage already In force, apples
and pears were required to bo sold
by heaping measure; and in the ab
sence of 'any specific declaration by
Congress as to the contents of a bushel of apples or the like, it will be pre
sumed that a bushel of today is a bush
el of English law and custom in 1776,
and a bushel of apples la not a struck Winchester bushel, but that measure
heaped."
LONDON, March 27. The govern
ment won its first important victory
n the coal strike negotiations today
when the federated miners union ad
opted a resolution to put the question of accepting or rejecting the minimum
wage-bill to a ballot of the rank and file of he miners.
Thousands of striking miners are
tired of idleness and weary of the suf
fering it has enttalled and are anxious to return to work. Consequently pre
mier Asquith is confident that the referendum vote will be largely In favor
of the bill.
