In order to lessen the work of the office, Mrs. llertha Adams, the present librarian, will assist Mr. Loder. This action on the part of the board makes the president and the secretary among the city officers. J. E. Hedges Is vice president and the Bank of Ore gon City treasurer and the board un changed. E Meetings have been held during the past week by the Oregon Hop Grow ers' association in Yamhill and Polk counties and field workers are dally reporting from Benton. Clackamas, Linn, Lane, Marlon and other Willam ette valley counties and the result far exceeds the most hopeful calculations of the organizers. The signatures to the stock subscription are most. lib eral and upwards of $50,000 has al ready been secured. Hundreds of growers hove written fteadquarters asking for meetings in their section and the greatest enthusi asm is manifested by all who have signed up. The growers are practical ly unanimous In their resire for the association. Meetings are being held this week n Sllverton, Aurora, Donald, St. Pauj Gervnis and other points and field committees are working in the vicin ity of Sheridan, North Yamhill coun ty, Amity, Dundee, Dallas, Salem, Brooks, Independence, Corvallls Port land Eugene and other points. The growers of the southern part of the state are Interested and a meeting will soon be held in Grants Pass. TO 16 DEGREES HERE FORECASTER DRAKE PREDICTS COLD 8NAP WILL BREAK SKATING AT CANBY Early Monday morning the mercury reached 16 degrees above icro, almost equalling the the lowest mark In Ihe lat 10 years. In Portland It reached 21 dcurees which was eight degrees higher than In Oregon City. Acting Forccastci Theodore F. Drake predicts that the break has come in the cold' spell, however, and that during the next 24 hours the tem perature will fall below 30 degrees. While Oregon City people were silv ering in the cold Sunday and Monday her neighbors In the northwest were even worsa off. At Tacoma the ther- moiiu ter showed 24 degrees above, at Baker it reached zero, at North Yak lma 12 degrees above, Spokane 16 above, Marshfhdd 20 above, Walla Walla IS, and Boise 12 degrees above. Seattle recorded the same temperature as Portland. 4f444444444444 PROBABLE TAX LEVY FOR OREGON CITY 4 , 4 mills 4 3 2 mill 4 , 3 3 mil! I mill 4 10 mill 4 5.7 mill 4 22 2 Bill!

That there will be a reduction I cer tain. The state levy will ptohably be about 4 mill which would raise 1116, ooo In Clackamaa county. Thla I a considerable reduction under tho amount raised thl year. The county levy will be about 3.2 mill. Sev.-n mills will be required to take up outstanding warrants left from this year. Thn budget for 1914 w is 117,000 too low and thn amount of taxes estimated was $2,700 under the amount collected owing to the fact that land In lltlgutlon between the Cnlted Stat. -a government has been withdrawn from taxation. Tho rood levy will bo eight mills the same as the rate for this yeur. How ever it is not considered probable that the comity court wilt make a levy to take up outstanding road warrants as was done a year ago. In Oregon City the school district tax will be 5.7 mills, which Is a re duction under the rate for this year. The city tax will be 10 mills, the high est rate allowed under the city char ter. It Is evident from these estimates, a majority of which are authorative, that the Oregon City property owner will pay taxes on a 32.2-mill rale. STORES CLOSE WHEN IS.

From now on the government will not consider a couple married unless the preacher or magistrate attaches a "love stamp" to the marriage certifi cate, where the law requires such a certificate. As a result, Dan Cupid's expense ac count will be increased 10 cents, the cost of each stamp. The provision of the law follows: 'A marriage certificate issued by the officiating clergyman or magis trate and given to the parties, If re quired by law. must be stamped at the rate of 10 cents. In addition to the usual $2, $5 or $10 given the minister the bridegroom must take along a dime for the gov ernment's contribution box. Couples can not escape the payment by eloping to Vancouver, Camas, or other towns in Wasington, because a marriage certificate la required there as well as in Oregon.
