Fingers Amputated
After Mill Accident
Stayton In an accident at
the small sawmill they had only
that day started to operate in
the woods near Lyons, Michael
small son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward House, received injuries
that required amputation of the
third and fourth fingers on his
left hand just below the first
joint. Michael, who is not quite
two years old, got his hand
caught in a lumber carriage and
the fingers were so badly mash
ed they couldn't be saved.
Street Block
Action Brought
Dallas Whether a private
resident who claims ownership
to a piece of property that as
been used as a city street for
over 20 years has the right to
block the street is a question
involved in a suit filed by the
City of Dallas against Paul M.
Shearer in Polk county circuit
court.
Shearer, according to the
city's complaint, purchased a
piece of property adjoining
Cherry street between Main and
Levcns. Last Thursday he pub
lished a legal notice that he was
closing the street at the Church
street intersection, shutting off
the street from public travel.
The city countered by filing
the suit in the office of Edna
M. Pitzer. county clerk, through
the city attorney, C. L. Mar
sters. Saturday County Judge
Herman Van Well signed a tem
porary injunction to enjoin
Shearer from barricading the
street. Neighbors said Tuesday
that Shearer had removed his
road block, pending outcome of
the suit.
The controversy has been go
ing on for some time between
Shearer and his neighbors, who
feared loss of access to their
property nearby. It was thought
however, that city fathers had
accomplished a diplomatic com
promise until Shearer's notice
last week.
City Auditor Bill Blackley
states that the street has never
been dedicated, but the city
complaint against Shearer al
leges that the city has a "super
ior right" to the street through
over 2u years of public use.
Records of Ed C. Dunn, county
assessor, show that when Shear
er purchased the property, the
portion of Cherry street was in-
eluded and also a part of
Church street between Cherry
and Birch. Shearer had thrown
brush across Church street to
prevent use of the street.

Albany Postal
Needs Increase
Albany Albany is definitely
in need of a new post office
building and will probably get
one as soon as funds can be
found to enable construction,
Acting Postmaster J. F. Howard
states.
As justification the acting
postmaster pointed to the record
of stamp window cash receipts,
the gauge of business volume at
all post offices, for the first four
months of this year as compared
with those of last year.
Since January 1, 1947, Al
bany has been entirely on its
own, with no assistance from
patronage of Camp Adair per
sonnel, yet during the first four
months of this year stamp win
dow receipts totaled $32,765.27,
an increase of $1,245.83 over the
corresponding 4-monlhs' record
for 1946 when Camp Adair con
tributed to local volume.
Furthermore, said Howard.
April colume. totaling $8,856.84
set a new all-time high record
for April at the Albany post
office, surpassing that for April
of last year by $706.01.
It is not alone stamp window
sales which indicates growth of
post office here, reflecting cor
responding community growth,
said the postmaster. The local
post office building has become
greatly overcrowded by the ra
pidly increasing volume of mail
and the demand for post office
boxes is such that more than
200 applicants cannot be ac
commodated. Need for a new building here
has been recognized by postal
inspectors, said the postmaster,
but for the time being no ap
propriations for such purposes
can be expected.

Polk Cherry Growers
Showing Optimism
Dallas Some cherry growers
during the past few days have
reported a more optimistic out
look on the coming fruit crop.
Josiah Wills who owns an ex
tensive acreage in the hills
southeast of Falls City reports
very good prospects. He esti
mates his crop will run 40 tons
as compared with 80 tons in the
bumper year of 1946. This will
be the fourth straight good crop
for Wills on his hill farm.
W. L. Soehren, owner of a
small acreage of Royal Anne
cherries on the LaCreole bottom
east of Dallas, expects a fair
crop. Sour cherries appear to
be about as good or better than
last year.
Motorist Injured
