4 THURSDAY, FEB 16. 1956 «3’4 .YAGdHUHT 3HO .AIHO/.HSV ,XIO THE EAGLE, VERNONIA, ORE AROUND THETARM Each month we receive from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser vice a report of the activities of the county trappers. This report includes the number of days that each trapper has worked and the number of scalps that he has tak en. Also included is a sheet that gives the losses of livestock and poultry that predators have caus ed in each county. Besides giving the kind and number ot animals or birds killed, it lists losses of game and the kind of predator causing the loss. It is unlikely that these sheets on losses are accurate, as fre quently the only losses that are reported are those' that are en countered by the trapper himself. We know that there must be many others, and we can't help but feel that it would be worth while if all losses were reported. We would welcome receiving re ports of losses to pass along so that we can more accurately know our situation. “Just how much is my woodlot worth now?” This is a question more and more farmers are ask ing those days. The best way to answer this question is to go out and find out for yourself what products and what value there is in your woodlot. “The demand for woodlot pro ducts is good now and promise.: to remain so for some time. The demand is so big that practically all woodlot owners have received many offers to buy their entire timber tract. Most of these wood lot owners have expressed sur prise at the amount of variation in these offers. “There’s good money in timber NOTICE TO PERSONAL PRO PERTY OWNERS OF COLUM BIA COUNTY. Chapter 342. Sec. 110-349 Provides that every person and managing agent or officer of any firm or corporation or association owning or having possession of or control of taxable personal property, shall make a return thereof to the county assessor of the county in which such proper ty is located on January 1st, 1956. The final dat? for filing this re turn in March 2nd, 1956. In 1919 this law was amended making it mandatory that the assessor add the penalty of 5 per cent to the tax on all returns that are filed after the said March 2nd, 1956. However, if you will cooperate by filing yuur report now, you will do your part in reducing the cost of making this assessment; also eliminating having the penal ty added to your personal tax. Blanks have been mail’d to all personal property owners shown on the 1955 tax roll. However, if you are a new owner or have not received a blank, call St. Helens, 12, or drop a card to the Asses sor's office, St. Helens, Oregon, and you will receive the neces sary form. Failure to receive or secure the form shall not relieve any such person, managing agent, or offi cer from the obligation of making any return herein required. O. A. RIDENOUR County Assessor 7t2c 1 Class of 1956 Boasts Queens foot, if it is sold by the board the cord, or the individual tree. Farmers who sell their entire woodlot for one lump sum are very often dissatisfied. Selling the entire woodlot without mea suring it is like selling a herd of beef without counting the number of animals. Each individual tree is worth a certain amount of money. Each woodlot contains a variety of products. Farmers have been dealing with bushels of grain or tons of hay per acre for many years, but sel dom do you find a farmer who knows how to estimate or mea sure the volume and value of the various wood products contained in his farm woods. Only when he investigates the value of th-* various wood products does he realize the true value from his forest.” Th£ above paragraphs are 4he lead in an Oregon State college bulletin entitled "Measuring Trees and Logs.” This bulletin has been very popular among woodland owners, but reecntly we have been unable to fill requests. Our supply has been temporarily re. plenished, but we would suggest that all woodland owners obtain one while they ar? still available. With it an owner can determine the volume in his holdings. According to the Oregon Un employment Compensation Com mission, Columbia County pay rolls covered by the commission in 1954 totalled $12,974,601. This apparently puts Columbia coun ty in the 19th position in Oregon in payrolls, so far as unemploy ment compensation coverage is concerned in that year. Columbia county’s primary gross income from agriculture amount ed to about 5'i million dollars. We don't know just where we stand in order agricultural, but percentage wise primary agri culture production brings about one third of the county's total in come. There would be a great deal less wrong-doing if people had to pay for it in advance. College Preview Given Seniors Representatives of the Oregon State institutions of higher learn ing visited Vernonia high school last Friday as a high school-col lege relations committee to assist seniors in deciding the course best for them to follow after gradua- tion. Francis Nickerson, executive secretary of the state department of education, headed the commit tee and represented the Univer sity of Oregon and Oregon State college. Dr. Wagner spoke for the colleges of education and Mr. Hoag was here in the interest of Oregon Technical Institute at Kla math Falls. After addressing the entire stu dent body, separate conferences were held with seniors according to their interests.

Significant fact is that this is the third time that the class of ’56 has been successful in having their candidate named as queen In 1953 when they were freshmen. Patsy Wildt was the queen. In 1954, as sophomores, their candi date was June Jones who again copped the title. One more queen opportunity awaits some member of the class before graduation, that of May Queen for this year’s annual festival.
