Dear Sir:
At vour request, or the infor

We snhinit herewith statement
setting forth the result of our ex

'Hcrage gasoline tax per car from
March, IIM!. to March, IH'.'O.
The increase in vehicles regis
lered, ranuts from H..1 per rent
in 1I15 to Jtl.li per cent in 101 !.
The estimated increase for 1020
nml lii'Jt is 2ti per cent and I!

per cent in I !.'!, after which no
increase lias Keen caiciiiaieu.
The average license receipts

20. 8S, Kighly-eight cents per

trative expenses, leaving if'.'O.OO

To State Highway Fund . $15.00
To County in w hich vehi

When figured on a monthly ba
sis the average gasoline tax per
car is $5.'2!, which i,s 2I cents
above the amount used in esti

we have used the same figure
($5.00) as used in the puhlisheil
article.
The annual "Interest and Prin

following premises:
That the balance of the Six

SOME CASE
A rather peculiar case was befon
Judge li.igli y, Monday, w hen F.d-
ward l.yon was cited to appear
anil show cause why he should
not be puniahed for contempt of
court in a case where it had been
decreed that he should pay Ida
M. (ireen. his former wife, $20
per month for the support of a
sixteen year old boy, son of the
two. I.yon went on the stand and
swore that he was unable to pay
the $20 per on account of the fact
that he was married, getting only
$I.S0 per day, and had a new
wife and infant child to support.
He offered to take the boy home
in order to reduce expenses, but
this the boy declined, as did the
mother and the grandmother.
Lyon's ex-wife is married again,
her name now being Green.
Judge Hagley adjudged I.yon
guilty of contempt, but did not
pass sentence on the ground that
he would be advised ill the prop
er decree by judging from Lyon's
future attitude. I.yon works tor
the Standifer Co., of Vancouver.

people married to others after a
divorce decree have been in ap
pearance at court.
Harold Joslyn. charged with

Grove store, was last week sen
tenced to five years in the pen up

Other Officer. Elected and Lead
er, in Dept. Work Named
The Washington County Farm
Bureau organised in Hillshoro
last Saturday, and the county was
represented from various sec
tions. The, purpose of tht? organ
ization is set forth in its constitu
tion :
"To develop in each communi
ty of the. county a systematic ro-
grain ot work among tin: mem
bers as a means of making agri
culture more profitable, farm life
more pleasant, the rural structure
more permanent, thus contribut
ing to the general prosperity of
thr: county as a whole."
Officers were elected as follows
A. F.. Wescolt, Banks-, Presi
b nt; .. F.. Jones, Vice Pres.; X.
A. Frost, Sec; Wm. Schulmerich.
Treas.
A program of county work was
..ii i '.i i
sclietiiili'il. imscti upon tne neeos
of the various districts.
Ileadiny tin- list of projects
adopted is Dairy Herd Improve
ment. William Schulmerich was
elect eil as County leader. He is
already planning a Conntv Mm-
paitrn for Tictter dairy sires, and
will ciicouraifc the orgaiiix.itiou
of Dairy Calf Clubs.
.Rodent Control was adopted,
with E. F.. Jones. County leader.
The Bureau appointed a commit
tee to appear before the Coenty
Court, reauestinir that body t)
take the proper steps for the en
forcement of the Rodent Control
law. enacted by the last legisla
ture. It is the purpose of the Bu
reau to have rodents controlled
on lands owned 1)T iinn-resiiL rits,
as well as all other areas infested.
Thev will also continue the Mob
Pelt Pools, and encourage in ev
ery way possible the trapping of
moles and gophers.
Poultry improvement was taken
up, the County leader of which is
yet to be selected. Poultry
schools, culling demonstrations
and tours will be a part of the
work undertaken in this project.
Chas. Herb was selected as
County leader of Crop Improve
ment. UfuUr bis direction efforts
will be made to certify many
fields of grain this season for seed
purposes. Potato certification
will also be considered, and fer
tilizer trials w ill be undertaken in
the several communities. The
more important of these w ill be
the using of superphosphate on
corn and potatoes.
Drainage was also made a part
of the program, it being the be
lief that agriculture can be much
improved by the use of more tile,
and also much land can be im
proved by cleaning out the Tual
atin River. During a discussion,
mention was made of the bill
which is now before congress ap
propriating money for the clean
ing out of this river; a committee
was appointed to make investiga
tion, and to lend support to the
measure.
The fruit interests were not ov
erlooked, and a Horticultural
project was adopted, with t.arl
Pearev, of Dilley, as County lead
er. Under this project, the best
methods will be investigated, and
tests of different orchard prac
tices will be made, and tests will
also be made of the various fer
tilizers. Fruit insects and dis
eases will also receive considera
tion, while a tour of the orchards
of the County is also planned.
The officers of the Farm Bureau,!
together with the County project,
leaders will form an executive
committee, which will hold regu
lar meetings for the consideration
of the Countv agricultural needs, i
The Boyd logging camp in
South Tualatin has shut down un
til the roads are in better shape,
the hard rains of last week hav
ing put them in such condition
that truck service would cut them
clear through to the soil. The
county started work the first of
the week putting the macadam in
shape and Mr. Boyd will not haul
any more until the weather set
tles and there is better going.
A bad sewer break is being I
looked after bv the oil v on Base-J
line." just east of Third St., quick
sand having caused the trouble.
It is estimated that it will take
several hundred dollars to get the
sewer into shape.
Jack Gotleib, of north of the
city, is carrying one of his hands
