The- deed was drawn Aug. 17, 1866,- in' behalf of Aaron Rose, Roseburg's founder and donor of the property to the church. It, was witnessed by Stephen F. Chadwick, notary public, and by L. F. Mosher, both promi nent in Roseburg's earlier history, and recorded by R. A. Cowlis. It-is safe to say that no abstract firm has made much money on title transfers of this piece of property, Mr. Rose being its" first private owner, as far as I know, and the church its second and last. The church is now construct ing a new Catholic center in West Roseburg.

It was because of the construe. tion of this system that Riddle last year had one of the highest tax millages in the state (153.8). This year, it was proudly announc ed, the mill age rate has dropped to 96.4 mills. Despite the importance of the meeting, it was poorly attended, In The Day's News - By FRANK JENKINS Hoi Hum! (If this were a television show, I'd yawn and stretch to convey the idea to the customers. One can't do that in print.) Anyway, it's that kind of MORN ING in the news. Note the use of big type for the word morning. It's intended to stress the fact that by afternoon all Hades could break loose. It's that kind of world we're living in. GOP Speaker of the House Joe Martin, campaigning in aiicnigan, "Republican majorities will be elected in both houses of congress this fall." "This year's cut in taxes will help elect Republicans.

Tha fiimr .waa derived bv tflk- fng tne amount approved by the voters this year and adding 6 per cent, the officials said, Farrell said the base would be adequate for "routine business" ofJ uie city, Dut "we can i answer ior emergencies, . .or annormai growth.'.' With normal growth, the base would suffice, if state revenues to the city are used judiciously, na said. Mayor Croft said the budget committee and City Council felt if the proposal -was higher it prob ably would be turned down. The original proposal for oper ating the city during 1954-55 was about $31,000 more than the pro posed tax base. The current tax base is only $69,t57 or less than what it costs to operate some in dividual departments. Growth of the city is the main reason a new base is needed, the officials said. With growth, many additional services to residents have been added, such as police checks on homes when residents are away on vacation, additional fire protection, etc. To show some of the growth in recent years Farrell pointed out mat tne 1943-44 budget provided (Continued on Page 2 Col. 3) Injured Logger Taken To Portland Hospital An injured Douglas County log ger was transferred to a Portland hospital early Tuesday morning for turther treatment.

Occasionally a person and job are synonymous. Certainly it is true in the case of Lotus Knight Porter and the words, "Society Editor News-Review." Those words have become famil iar to readers of Douglas County over a period of 25 years, the span of time Mrs. Porter has been with the paper. It is a record that few in ' any department in the state can equal. Mrs". Porter began her duties Sept. 2fl, 1929, under Harris Ells worth, then editor oXthe News-Review, When she accepted the po sltion, at a time when businesses did not ordinarily hire married women, she told Ellswarin she woukfonlv remain three years. Those three years have stretched to 25, and she has no plans to re tire at present. She is married to Fred Porter. her childhood sweetheart. i They have one of the most beauti ful gardens, with azales prevailing, in the city. For Mrs. porter, it is a day of double celebration. In addition to being her 25th anniversary with the newspaper, it is her birth day. Her age, however, is a class- uied secret.

It also makes contributions to other phases of sight conservation. FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY George McKnight, a Myrtle Creek laborer, has filed for Bank- ruptcy in the U. S. District Court at Portland.

W) This com munity's two public shocls were closed again Tuesday in the face of telephoned threats of violence if Negro children were allowed to attend classes in the previously all-white high school. Dr. Raymond C.'Cobbs, superin tendent of the Milford schools, had announced earlier that the schools would open as usual Tuesday after being closed Monday.

The situa tion developed Monday when the Milford school board closed the schools after learning of a protest march planned by anti - segrega tionists. Although the school board com posed of three businessmen and a housewife. -ad called for re sumption of classes Tuesday, they left unanswered the question ot whether 11 Negro mimls would be aiiowea to lane up weir nign scnoo- studies. . , . , ; 4 Myrtle Creek Youths In Jail .
