The Uhlmanns purchased 750 bales of Socramentos at Vk and 8 Salem Because of comparatively quiet real estate market the greater part of the year, the State tax com mission has fixed ratios somewhat higher than last year for virtually all counties. The higher ratios, however, do not necessarily mean higher taxes, but mean that the valuations for tax able purposes are nearer the actual values than last year, when property values were higher. The ratios are for the use of the county assessors in determining the taxes of public service corporations and for the purpose of arriving at each county's proportion of taxes for use of the state. Under the law the commis sion finds the actual value of public corporation property and fixes a valua tion for taxable purposes In the same ratio of actual value as the county assessors fix for the assessment of other property for taxation. The property of public service corpora tions is the only property actually valued bv the commission and the ratios are fixed for the benefit of the county assessors in levying the taxes. In Multnomah county, where there is a large part of public service corpor tion property, the ratio is increased from 60 to 63 per cent, but in 1912 it was 65 per cent. The biggest increase was made in Tillamook county, where it was advanced from 60 to 88 per " " V"LU. ZrXZ?

The largest timber deal that has been consummated in Clatsop county for several months is said to have been closed here. By it the Pen insular Lumber & Box company, of Portland, becomes the owner of what Is generally known as the Washburn This tract is located ust north of Saddle Mountain at the headwaters of Youngs River, between that stream and the Klaskanme River. It Is held In the name of the Youngs River com pany, the principal owner of which Is said to be J. T. Washburn, of Minne apolis. The property consists of 5280 acres and cruiseB show it contains 289,000, 000 feet of first-quality fir timber. The consideration Is said to have been ap proximately $500,000. or slightly less than $2 a thousand feet stumpage. While located several miles from the Columbia river the tract Is located favorably for logging operations and at the present time the Bremner bog ging company's railroad extends to within a comparatively short distance nf it. Negotiations for the sale of this property have been In progress for' some time and approximately a year ago the purchase of it by another com pany was practically consummated when complications arose In conse quence of which the deal was off.

The brim is covered smoothly with velvet, and flares upward very gently at the wide portion. The crown Is soft at the top, having the sides en circled by a smooth collar of velvet. A sash of soft satin ribbon Is tied about It, finished with two short loops at the front. At the side, a short, very wide plume Is fastened to the underbrlm with a small flat bow of ribbon like that around the crown. It curls up ovei the brim edge and rests on the uppei brim.

Dretsed Spring Lamb 12 13c per lb. gether. In the first one a mode of dressing the hair is shown, which, with very little variation, has been used for many years. In the second, an Idea quite unfamiliar Is Bet forth for what It Is worth, and it remains to be seen with what success it bids for favor. The middle part should not be adopt ed by any woman unless she Is a great beauty, who can' "carry off" anything, without a bit of experimenting. There are a few types that it Is becoming to. It happens nearly always that they are women with very abundant hair. In the coiffure pictured the hair is waved (but not "marcelled") In loose but regular waves at the front and across the back. The hair on the crown Is not waved. This style le not at all difficult to dress. The waving may be done with the curling iron, or, better still, on heavy wire hairpins or "curlers" or with kid rollers. The unwaved hair and the back hair Is combed up to the top ot the crown, where It is arranged in a smooth twist with ends pinned under. It will stay in place If it Is first tied at the top of the crown with a short piece of shoelace or tape. The front hnlr Is parted and conibed down at each side aa far a the tem ples. Here it Is turned back and brought to the coll at the back, where It Is pinned in. The ends of the side hair are twisted lightly Into a coll and arranged In a short loop of hair at each side ot the middle twist. Small shell pins look well and are in keep ing with this neat and conservative hair dress. If a hair net can be adjusted eo that It can hardly be seen It will keep gray or white hair, which is inclined to be wiry, In place and preserve the neat ness which Is essential to this coiffure. A conservative example ot the new casque coiffure, in which the hair lo marcelled in very regular waves and combed back off the face, Is shown in the second picture. In the extremes of this style the eare are uncovered, the hair drawn back off the forehead and combed up to the top of the head, There are several arrangements ot tho. back hair, the favorite being a long, Boft French twist, considerably fuller and higher than that shown here. The forehead, In these new coiffures, Is innocent of curls and quite bare. ThiB proves bo trying to the majority of women that they have softened the line ot hair about the face by bringing It down In tbe middle of the forehead tn a "dip" and combing the locks lu front ot the ears back over the top of the ears, as ehown In the picture.
