COUIYIYGETS TITLE
The annunl delinquent tax sale was
closed 'luesday afternoon after
comparatively few pieces of property
had been sold at the office of Sheriff
I;. A. Swarts. Out of the more than
2000 parcels of land on the delinquent
roils less than 10 por cent of them
were sold nt the sale which started a
few days ago, it wns announced.
A sheriff's deed to all the tracts of
land and city lots on the delinquent
list unsold will be made to the county
and nil will automatically go off the
tax roll. Taking these properties off
the rolls lessens the county's stale
tax to thnt extent.
Former owners of these parcels
and lots, after the sheriff's deed is
given, still have an opportunity to
redeem the property by paying all
back taxes and Interest and penalties.
Purity Stores Not

Officials of the I'nited Purity
Stores Tuesday refuted n statement
accredited to R. C. Dunham, presi

Monday sold its wholesale establish
ments in Eugene and Marshfield to
the Western States tlrocery company
Dunham was reported as saying that
he hail "transferred the Purity stores
frnnlulse" in tho sale.
Such a statement is Incorrect, ex
plained C. C. Page, Eugene manager
of the Purity Stores, because Dunham
did not have the authority to make
such a sale. Tho transaction was
purely 0110 concerning the wholesale
houses. The Allied Grocers Inc.,
which formerly supplied the Purity
stores, will no longer have any con
nection with that organization. The
Purity. stores will make their purchas
es through R. E. Lnfferty.
Therefore, under the new set-up,
the Purity stores will maintnin their
identity, said Tage. O. R. Uufler, of
Seattle, owner of the franchise of

Monday night investigating reports
that the franchise had been'sold. He
