Only one dealer, so far as is known, boucht at 48 cents. There will be about one-third the usual number of turkeys shipped out o( Douelas county this year, accord ng to the present outlook. Receipts it Oakland and Koseburg fell far short of the usual mark, and It Is quite certain that there will be far (ewer birds offered to consumers for Thtnksgiving than for many years past. At Oakland It was estimated yes lerdav evening that only one carload of birds would be shipped out of that place for the Thanksgiving market. Three carloads is the usual number io be sent from Oakland and last nifht there was not a sufficient num ber to send out one, but the receipts for today were expected to be enough to make up the shipment. The bulk of the birds came Into Oakland yes terday and were sold at 45 cents. To day the pr'ce advanced considerably and on a few prime birds reached 50 crau. but the bulk went at 46 and 4" cents. i The turkeys offered for asle are principally old hens, showing that the young gobblers are being held for the Christinas market. Orrty prime Mrils are being offered fur sale and b quality is vey good. Ii is believed that less than 4500 tnrkeys will be shipped out of the county, this estlmtae, however, being based on figures obtained early to day. I'p to yesterday evening the Roseburg and Oakland markets howed less than 2500 fowls, which is a very small number, especially lor the season. The growers claim that they have been unable to fatten their turkeys properly, and consequently have few lor sale. The dealers desire only well fattened and prime birds, and refuse to accept others.

FLOPS AND EATS" E "Hop Heads" and "Bums" to Be Afforded More Solace In The Future. BOWERY MISSION HAVEN Has Been Established for 41 Years Mission Supt. Bays There is Still Plenty of "Hootch" on the Lower East Hide. NEW YORK, Nov. 20. At the old Bowery Mission, for more tnan four decades the leading lower bast Side haven for destitute drunkards, ecture classes in elementary so ciology and philosophy and educa tional work among the ghetto's wom en and children are taking the place of or supplementing the work done there heretofore for men wttnoui homes or food. "Flops and eats," as shelter and food are referred to by the old time denizens of the Bowery, are no longer to be the chief solace afford ed to "hop heads' 'and "bums" by this famous old Institution. Directors of the famous place have acknowledged time for more than feeding and sheltering from night to night a horde of "floaters" and "boes." Since Its establishment 41 years ago Bowery Mission workers have been rushed with seemingly ceaseless efforts to find food and Bleeping room for long lines of those classed as down and out. Now, they say, the advent of prohibition has brought opportunity to lift their heads. John G. Halllmond, Mission super intendent, and Anson C. Baker, sec retary, outlined the new situation. "There's still plenty of 'hootch' on the Bowery," they said, "and plenty of drinkers to care for. But It s harder to get than it used to be. "We have almost as many men to look after as ever. When the saloon went lr did not take with it drugs and the like. But a far greater per centage ot mem are , eyed and clear-bra nee. e are ... , creasing our educational v.ork among , the old timers whose neaaa " " I De so Bietrpeu ,ii --- - could retain nothing but the address of the Mission. "We now have more opportunity to look around, a chance for educa tional work among women and to start at the bottom with the rising generation-." Sixty-year-old "Christian John Wentz, a follower of the Mission for half his life and still hanging on, added his word to that of Mr. Halll mond and Mr. Baker. "The bum business Is dead, he said. "But if a guy had told me ten years ago that the day would come when there wasn't enough boes and cokles on the Bowery to keep thlB place busy, and that the Mission would decide to go to taking care of women and children. I d nave saiu he'd been 'coking' himself, or hitting the pipe." WIDELY KNOWS "MOTHEU."

Vanderlip. New York banker and millionaire, who has vir tually bought the entire place is to rebuild it. The snur brick, homes. which thrifty townsmen erected long years back, will be renovated and re inforced. Gardens will bloom again where rank grass and weeds have won their way. And clean streets and neat sidewalks will be replaced. Speaking of his plans for Sparta, which is a part of Ossining Mr. Vanderllp decried stories that he in tended to build modern tenements here. Restoration of the old place to its former comelyness is his desire. Of course, we hope to get rid of what elements there are which are not the best in Sparta Mr. Vander llp said. "Restoration of the vilTage architecturally will be accomplished by efforts to restore Its morale." The notoriety Sparta received a few years ago, when the District At torney of White Plains declared that Sing Sing Convicts, working outside he priBon, frequented its saloons, has not helped the village's reputa tion. Wealthy residents of Ossining and Scarborough-on-the-Hundson, a half mile south, have deplored the 'increasing ramshackle" appearance of the place, and Mr. Vanderllp is going to try and restore its "run Idown character and restore Its looks.'

Juvenile Officer Reserves Credit A great deal of credit is due Miss Acnes l'ltchford. county Juvenile officer for the fxrellent manner in which Juvenile affairs are handl'd and conduct'!. In her official ca pacity Miss ritrliford meet wiih many hard problems but In every in stance they have been solved in a careful and efficient manner and in such a way that the person coming under her charge is given an oppor tunity to try again and. in the Urce orcntHge of cases, makes good. Many of these caw by a few of counsel and advice and in woids way which ha made her one of the lea fi lm? Juvenile officers of tho state, have been adjusted In auch a way that they have never reached the courts and the corrective method has been applied In such a way that the offender has hen allowed to work out hla or her own salvation In a manner to strencthn rather than destroy character. A rreat many In vestigations he has been called upon to mak are not affairs in which luveniles ar concern!!, but the the nrk of older and w'aer heads, and thiR make her taak much harder. h hnjt succeeded in conducting the Juvenile affairs In a highly aatlffac- tnry manner and in such a spirit of co-operation with other onicers ana the Juvenile court that the work of all departments has been benefitted, IMS WILL BE HIGHER THAN EVER State Level Will Be More Than Double That of Last Year. VALUATION GOES UP Oier Pie Million lHILim .Will lit' Added to the Ahhmm1 Valuation of DmiKltts County When i'tir Mimtliii VhIiic 1m known. There Is apt to be a geueral howl raised all over Douftlaa county when the next tax statements are received, for there is going to be an exception ally sharp Jump in tuxes over tho past year and It Is quite evident that the taxes this year will be heavier than ever before in the history of the county. This fact Is due entirely to the constitutional levies voted by the people, of the state at various elec tions Increasing the amount of state taxes for next year double to that paid last year. The state tux which Douglas county pays ia to be doubled. It is stated, while other causes will brine (he county levy soaring sky ward. County Clerk K. H. Lenox was yes terday in communication with the mate (ax department In Snlem and received the Information that exuet amount of state tax baa not yet been ascertained. The clerlcul force is preparing the state budget and will probably not have it complete until the first of the month. However, the county clerk was Instructed that the state tax will be at least double t li fit of liutt year, and possibly will be slightly Increased. This Is due to tin levy of 2.52 mills for the soldiers, sailors and marines' educational fund und 2 mills for school purposes, mak ing au addition of 4.16 mills, which brings (he tentative levy for this year (o M.68 mills. The stale budget Is subject ty an Increase of 6 per cent, which, however, will not materially titled the rate of last year. There are other phases entering into ttiis levy. For instance, $.10.1)0.1 is to be collected In lotiglus coutuy front lands outside of organized high' M-hool districts. This will not alleet Koseburg. Itiddle, Sutherliu. Oak land, and other communities wher n l.ifch school Is maintained, but those districts where there are no high schools will be required to bear this burden. There is one redeeming feature. The valuation of Douglas county has. been Increased ver 000,000. The asscsrtiiient rolls now show a valua tion of $3,235,645, which Is apt to be considerably Increnst d when the tax commission reports on the value or the public service corporation holdings within the boundaries of the county. Last year the corporation holdings were Unfed nt $t.tMl0,000. The ratio adopted at that time was 70 percent. Tins year the ratio Is fco per cent, whirh will add much more to tho value of the holds as they appear on the assessment rolls. This ratio rep resents the assessed value as it re lates to the actual cash value. The board of equalization places a cer tain value on all lands in the county, liasls of figures vary according to ideas used In the counties. The as sessors report to the slate tax depart ment and there the assessed valua tlon ia balanced against what is be lieved to be the actual cash value. Consequently in Douglas couniy the state officers find that the assessed valuation is approximately ho p.-r cent of the catd) value. The depart ment has the actual value of the cor poration property and It will be as sessed on the same, ratio. With these fjicts In mind, the coun ty cb ik In preparing a tentative bud get, as provided by law, to present to the county court. It Is necessary to figure in a rale for high M-hool tax on property outside of organized dint rlcts almost double Unit of lust year. The amount raised then was 1!),000. This year $30,000 is to bo raiseij The state tax paid by the county last year was 11 16.67 8 s0. The next tax ill be approximately !23&,0O, which s a minimum figure. It is tentatively estimated that the county levy. Including the state levy will not be Icxs than 20 mills. In KovflMiig there will be 10 mills i levied for city purposes and 10 milts fur schools. In districts outride of KoiM hurir there will be various dis trict tnx-s to add to the 20 milts. In preparing the budget the coun ' ty court is squarely up against i ! most difficult problem. Last yai ' the budget called for not mop than i a 6 per rent increase. The county court kept wiihln that limit find at i a result there is a deficit In practi ; rally every department. The court ' now finds it nerensary to shave down 'in every itetu In order to keep with in the hunt and oen sequent I y th i problem is like trying to make six I by multiplying two ciphers. This means that tho road fund Is t going to suffer.
