tage Grove .Sentinel succinctly gives
the reasons for the publication of the
delinquent tax list:
The greatest service performed by
the publication of the delinquent tax
list is to get before the public the fact
that the property advertised is for
4ale. By the.M! sales the county col-I
lecta the money due it for taxes and
which it needs in the conduct of its
business. Not to advortise the sale 1
publicly would result either in the 1
necessity of the county going without !

the taxpayors of the county.
Still another purpose served by the
publication of the delinquent tax list
that would not be served by the use
of postal cards is that many who are
delinquent hasten to pay befom their j

publication. Thus a large amount of
money is put into the county treasury
and the cost of publication saved.
The law requiring the publication of
the delinquent tax list was repealed
some year ago but was again put on
the statute books through the protest
of taxpayers whose property had been
sold without their knowledge, so the
'post eard system was not effective
even to the extent of reaching those
who were delinquent. Cottage Gmve

Most of the wheat stored in local
warehouses has been sold and is be
ing shipped out, a few cars each day.
The only reason it hasn't moved more
rapidly being the fact that cars are
difficult to secure. The wheat iB go- j
ing out bulk shipment, this being the
only way purchasers in St. Louis, i
Kansas City and other destinations of
cars shipped from Imbier and Alicel,
will receive the grain. The days of
the wheat sack are numbered.
Grande Ronde ranchers will be com
pelled to adopt methods of handling
their wheat in the bulk. Under e
present system each wheat sack is
handled from two to five times to get j
it irnm mu uir.-wmr to irtiijit cur.

Plans are being made for a new
mill and elevator to replace the one
destroyed by fire two ytJars ago and
no doubt construction work will begin
early in tho spring in order to have
tho new building ready for the 1917
wheat crop. The burned structure was
immediately replaced by a metal ware
house and a feed chopper was in
stalled. The mill foreman, Gay Fox,
has been in charge of the two ware
houses and has handled the Kiddle
Bros, interests since the destruction
j of the flour mill. This firm has not
'only suld practically all tho wheat
' stored in their own buildings but have
also purchased most of the grain from
the farmers' warehouse.
