Convention
October Heat
Not Unusual
Albany The present warm
wave has failed to break a
record here for October, ac
cording to the records of Seth
French, local U. 6. weather
observer. Until Saturday the
mercury had not reached 80,
whereas 80 degree tempera
tures in October are the rule
rather than the exception.
Maximum temperatures were
recorded for October as high
as 90 In 1932, 88 In 1934 and
88 again In 1936.
The average temperature
for this month, however, may
set some kind of a record, for
as yet it has not been as low
as 40 degrees here. Usually
October brings at least one
frost or near-frost, the rec
ords also show.

Show Increase
Albany With two exceptions as
sessed valuations of Linn county
school districts have increased dur
ing the last year, provided gains
are not offset by public utiltly valu
ation losses, County Assessor W. C.
Templeton announced Saturday.
Tlie utility valuations are deter
mined not by the assessor, but by
the state tax commission and the
commission has not yet reported
its findings.
The greatest aggregate increase is
credited to Albany school district
No. 5. whose valuations has gained
(70,330 and now stands at (3,423,700.
Greatest proportionate gain, how
ever, Is that of Lebanon which en
Joyed a $57,780, to a present valua
tion of (1,085,100.
Gains reported for seven dis
tricts were partially offset by loss
es in as many more, due largely
to cutting of timber in eastern Linn
county.
