While no word has been re ceived up to the time of going to press of any loss o f stock, the sighting of several lots of chick ens has boen reported. One man living rot far from Stayton reports the loss o f two young pigs Tuesday night which were penned close to the river. While the citizens o f Stayton were watching the sw ift water early Wednesday morning a dead horse was sighted floating in the river. Several large logs belonging to POPULAR SUBLIMITY COUPLE MARRIED Collector of Internal Revenue, Milton A. Miller, is receiving inquiries concerning the provis ions o f the new Revenue Bill providing for income and other taxes, and numerous requests are being made for forms on which to make to make returns. Collector Miller says that no definite information carabe given, or forms furnished, until the bill has finally passed Congress and becomes a law. It will then take some little time to have forms printed and ready for distribu- j tion. He has made arrange ments to send out a general noti fication from his office so that all taxpayers may be informed promptly o f the provisions o f the proposed law. The organization 'o f his field force will be such as to render every possible assist ance to taxpayers throughout the state of Oregon, and deputies will be located at many advsnta- geous points so that information may oe secured direct to guide them in making returns when the proper time arrives. nea by logging firms that were The basic principles of the pld banked on the stream have been income tax law will no doubt be moved from their moorings but applied to the provisions o f the the current of the water was not new law, and it would be well for swift enough to take them out of eyery individval and corporation their intended path. to prepare figures and ascertain The high water has also put the exact amount of income so as the Stayton-Salem stage out of to be ready to make return with commission.

KELLY RECEIVES INTERESTING LETTER FROM HIS SON ROY A. E. F. in France 11-24-18. Dear Dad: As this is the day when we all should write to our dads. I wilt drop you a few lines as to what I have seen and heard. Well, to start with I was sick as hell on the boat coming across and fed the fishes considerable. We wers 13 days at sea, land ing at Liverpool (15 boats in the convoy) from there to South Hampton, then across the Eng lish channel to LeHavre. While crossing the channel iw e sighted two submarines, but we were well protected by sub chasers. We stayed at LeHavre two days at a rest camp; going from there to a little town called Bingy in Southern France via Paris altho we did not see much of Paris as we did not get off the train. I stayed there until late in September and was then trans ferred from my old company to the 77th division and went into Argonne forest with them and got a taste o f the’ Boche shell fire, which was sure hell in that fro n t Was stricken with Influenza while in the lines and then taken to a small field hospital and from there to base 47 which is located near Baune, a city o f 15,000 pop ulation. I was there for 6 weeks and now am on my way back to the company. Am in the best o f health and fat as usual. This country is fast becoming Americanized. They have full American trains now run by Americans. The capacity o f & French box car is about 8 to 10 tons while the American cars are about three times as large. The camp where I am feeds about 8,000 men a day at the rate of 1,000 an hour through one kitchen; there is sure some system to that. Well, I thought perhaps some time ago I might be in the states by Christmas but could not say for sure that I will be there. Grown sated and sick of sin!
