Heavy Rainfall, Mill Anxiety,
. - Public Scandal Among
Big Events ,
By EUGENE ' MORRISON
' tiat.T.jls. Jan.' - A review
of the year 1933-hows that it-
waa an exceptionally interesting
year, specially In regard to the
weather. In addltioii to the weath
er, politics, i court proceedings,
hA irhooli tod government ac-
. tloa against the depression play-
ea a large pari in me eiwu uwb.
' ' The year 1 9 3 3 broke all records
" for' rainfall, here - ince T Cecil
' Biggs local weather man,' start--ed,
keeping records in 1912. This
Ticinity ' Is supposed to hate ap
proximately 40 Inches ot rainfall
daring the year, hut 1933 , went
' far ahead of that mark with 6.55
Inches. The heaviest fall Tecorded
prior to last year was In 1931
-when the rainfalL totaled 67.02
-. Inches. December of last year aiso
T made records ot its own .by rec
ord of 25.11 inches of rain, near
ly aa mucn s" fell in the entire
- year ct 1929. The heaviest ' De
' cember, rainfall previous to last
year was. in 19.7 when 14.54
Inches felt t -. .
Field Crops ;Good ' '
Nine'teen-hundred i thirty-three
was a moderate year here as far
as temperature . was , concerned,
with a cool, damp spring and a
mild summer and . winter. . Grain
and hay crops, broke all records
for the county ancrTops turned
out. fairly good despite the rain
following Labor, day. Prune crops
were- practically nil but several
; local driers operated by handling
; Douglas county prunes which
were trucked. here. ' i -
State and national bank: holi
days, kept the local banks clos
ed for a period of" 13 days in
March, but. both institutions re
! opened without restrictions. The
national government' took part in.
the affairs of the eitizens here
' with the wheat control plan, the
NRA and the hog control plan
Just starting. CWA and FWA pro-1
- jectr were started throughout
i- Polk county late in -November and
t early in December and' hare pro-'
! Tided employment tor over 300
men and ars assisting greatly In
faking xare or the unemployed.
Mill Case is Thorn
Dallas merchants signed ( up
ilOO per cent for the NRA, but the
: . proposal of the West Coast Lnm-
- bermen's association to limit the
pours of the local mill and throw
jnen out of work - has changed
opinions of the NRA somewhat
The matter of the mill case is in
the hands of Federal Judge Mc-
Nary in Portland at present and a
decision is expected shortly.
Dallas went wet in sentiment
aa well as in-weather this year
when she added herrote to others
' in the sUe In repealing prohibi
tion. Dallas had Toted, drjlong
before prohibition and the change
in her attitude came somewhat
as surprise. ".. - '.'..,
New county officers who took
office the first or the year were
C. S. Graves, county clerk; Ed C.
Dunn, county assessor, and Wil
liam Boydston .county treasurer.
. These men all replaced members
id the old guard who had held
office for several terms.
Scandal i Annals
Court proceedings came to the
front . last May : when Hugh G.
Black, former county clerk, was
"indicted "on four charges of lar
ceny ots public money. He was
tried and .found guilty but sen
tence was - postponed until De
cember and later postponed again
r until July 14, 1934. OtW court
, cases which. aroused interest were,
the moral-cases this fall in
which several - Polk county men
- were found guilty and sentenced
. te jail and penitentiary terms.
' Dallas schools also did. their
part In "making 1933 an interest
" ing year with the athletes of Dal
' las high taking all county cham
pionships and placing as runner
r up in the district basketball tour-
ney. for the second consecutive
"year. Debate and typing teams of
the high school also helped gain
honors for the school.
Hopes of the citizens her.0 for
193 are that the mill will not
be forced to close but will be
. allowed to continue Its two - shift
, operation, and that business will
continue on the upward trend.
' Unemployment here has been re
lieved considerably and the hopes
are that all men will be back on
' Jobs next - year. ; Farmers - and
growers are hoping for a real
- prune crop" again and for better-
- prices. .
