Krnent McCullon and Elmo Pen tiett of Dallaa have joined the med ical department of the navy. Mrs. Forest Finch of Indepen dence waa given a farewell recep tion by the ladies of the Chris tian church last Wednesday. She is to move to Portland. Some one broke into the Graham Watt store in Dallas one night last week and took the entire contents of a show case of neck wear, about $40 worth. Max .Goldman haa moved his store in Independence to rooms for merly occupied by Drexkr & Alex ander, the place he vacates is occu pied by Calbreath and Jones, whose quarters are to be occupied by the Williams Drug store. Mrs, W. G. Campbell died in Dal las last week. She had been sick with asthma and other complaints for some time., She was the widow of Green Campbell who died in that city last summer. At a special meeting of the Inde pendence school board last week J. B. Bohannon was named to suc ceed Dean Walker as director and 11. Hirschberg to succeed A. L. Thomas, both vacancies being caus ed by resignations. Dr. H. C. Dunsmore has at tempted several times to get into some branch of the military service but without avail because of his age. Despairing of all efforts in that direction, he turned to Y. M. C. A. work and yesterday made ap plication for a secretaryship. It will be nearly a month before he finds out whether he will be accep ted or not. The doctor would no doubt be sent to France if given a secretaryship, Monitor. Mrs. N. M. Grant of Dallas died on Thursday of last week. She was born in Iowa June 30, 1858, and is survived by her husband and two sons. The county assessor has complet ed the tax levies for the county and the total levy is 3 mills less than last year. The county, common school and state tax is 14.1 mills and the general road levy 5.5 mills. Only one road district made a spe cial levy; No. 4 is to raise 4.9 mills. Monmouth has the smallest city levy of any city, 10 mills. The other city levies are: Dallas, 13.2 mills; Independence, 20.1 mills; Falls City, 19.4 mills; West Salem, 24.7 mills. The opening"of the Valley and Si- letz railroad was an event of impor tance in Independence New Years day. Some two hundred people gathered to welcome the first train into the city. The warmth of the welcome was such that it surprised Superintendent Williams who was in charge of the train. In response to the welcome he told the Independence people that present service was on lyf temporary and that it was the plan of the rail road to operate a motor from Val setz to Independence when the mO' tor arrived from the shops. It is about forty miles between the two places, reaching into the timber belt in the Siletz basin. At present most of the logs hauled are taken to Dallas and Falls City , and come through Monmouth making connec tions at Crisp as the junction in the vicinity of the Helmick bridge is called. There are 711 owners of Liberty bonds in Polk county: Falls City invested to the value of $15,200; Dallas, $160,700; Monmouth, $34, 000; Independence, $47,000.

Unless farmers use farm machin ery more generally than ever before they are not going to be able to conduct their business successfully, said the County Agricultural Coun cils in convention at Farmer's Week. Labor is not only scarce but in some parts of the State ex ceptionally high priced and farmers are not able to compete with big business in bidding for labor. Farm tractors, harvesting and threshing combines, and milking machines, are the three classes of machinery most largely being im ported for use this seasuon. Her bert Egbert, a Wasco county wheat farmer, reported that 23 baby com bines were brought into one town in the grain belt. Other county council leaders reported large pur chases of farm tractors, many of them of the caterpillar type. At least 50 milking machines are already in ute in Tillamjok county. County Age-.t Jones reported, and many more will be introduced as rapidly as possible. Coos county is running in an equal number, says C. D. Jarman of the county council, and must use many more if the dai rymen are to get their cows milked. He says that every old logging and lumber plant and many new ones are running full steam ahead and have placarded the roadsides with offers of $4 to $5 a day for help a price that dairymen cannot afford to pay. A survey of the number and success of milking machines has been asked of the county agents by Paul V. Maris, State Leader, and the results will be collected for gen eral use.
