New Assessment Rules Paul Tacheron, local deputy assess or, has been passing around blanks on which the new assessment is to have a basis. It resembles in brief form the inquiries made for computing an income tax. The statements have to be made before a notary and to be in the hands of the county assessor by April 4.

Green of the Luckiamute section cut two thousand cords of wood last year and says he could have sold more. A large proportion of this is sold locally. He shipped out five hundred cords last summer and says he would have done better to have kept it. He keeps five or six men busy cutting the wood, working with a drag saw and a tractor saw. A great deal of the wood is cut up in stove lengths and is hauled to town a cord and a half at a time. Barnell to Springfield New Man at Indep W. K. Barnell has been assigned to the management of the Springfield plant of the Mountain States Power company, and he will be succeeded here by Ray Russell of Albany. The change is an advancement for Mr, Barnell and is recognition of many years' service with the company. Mr Barnell will take up his new duties in about ten days. He is just recov ering from an illness which has con fined him to his home for a couple of weeks. Independence will regret Mr. and Mrs. Barnell's departure. Both have been active in community life here, Mrs. Barnell being a soloist of note. About a year ago, Mr. Russell, while in the employ of the company as a lineman, received a jolt which came exceedingly close to ending his career. K. P. Sims, another lineman, was awarded at Albany Wednesday night with what is known as the Insull medal for his heroic work in rescuing Mr. Russell. The presentation was made at a gathering of employes of the Willamette division of the com pany in the Moose hall. Russell was working on top of a pole when he received a shock which laid him out. Sims was upon an other pole two leads away and notic ing Russell's precarious position, rap idly went to the rescue. Cutting the lead wire which had' given Russell his shock, and tying a rope around the helpless man he lowered him to the ground. He worked over him for more than an hour before he was able to resuscitate him. About two months before that accident, a broth er of Mr. Russell was electrocuted while working for the company. Since the accident Mr. Russell has held a position in the store house at Albany. Enterprise. ..

This is a lecture he has given on the Chau tauqua platform. His subject for Friday evening will be: "Shoot or Give up the Gun." Saturday even ing: "The Last Call. Sunday at 11 o'clock he will speak on "The Church and Amusements." At 3 in the afternoon there will be a patriotic mass meeting at which Mr. Taylor's subject will be, "The Ameri can Constitution." Sunday evening at 7:30 he will speak on, "The Pass ing of the Harvest." All these ser vices including the Monday evening's Chautauqua Lecture, are free and open to the public. Mr. Taylor will have a message for the children and members of the Bible school at 11 a. m.. and at 6:30 he will give a "health talk" to the Youno; People. He spoke at chapel at the Normal and nobody failed to compre hend the meaning of his message on "The Ethics of Education." The loss of a state appropriation, which has aided during the past two years in putting over the Polk county fair, will mean the giving up of the free gate plan of the past two years for a small admission charge, but will cause little change in the fair plans. This in substance is the state ment of members of the fair board. At the suggestion of some of the organizations in interested communit ies Granges and others are being in vited to meet with the board on April 2 when it adopts a schedule of prizes and rules for the judging of commun ity exhibits. It is hoped to secure greater interest than ever before from community clubs and organizations. Observer. (Continued from page 1) would not have vetoed the McNary Haugen bill had he not been brought up in New England where the eye sight frequently is obstructed by the stone walls that surround the Ver mont farms. He referred to quality of product as affecting market con ditions, illustrating it by an instance in which a Normal graduate in whose conduct there had been a few kinks, had, after a probationary period, been granted a certificate. The result had been unsatisfactory and the ex ample stands as a warning for future guidance. Dr. Powell spoke briefly about wal nuts and filberts, saying the past year had been prosperous for walnut growers as the California crop was short and the Oregon crop conspicu ously large. He asserted filberts can not be grown successfully in any othej part of the United States but the Willamette valley and it will be impossible to over produce. G. M. Partridge spoke a few words explan atory to the tile plant and the work in Monmouth, and benefits that ac crue to land through drainage. Frank Loughary made a plea for active interest in the Jersey show which is to be held, in Independence this spring. The exhibit two years ago, he said, was a good one, equal ling any county exhibit ever held in this state, but there had not been enough interest in it on the part of the general public. The attendance during the show had not been satis factory and he urged that sentiment be created that would arouse inter est and secure attendance which is the only means through which bene ficial advertising to the stock exhib ited can be derived. Questionnaires had been distribut ed earlier in the evening und the re sults were rend by the club secretary, F. E. Murdock. The first asked at tendants to list the things Mon mouth needs in a commercial way. The second questoin requested the naming of city improvements most , needed. The third question related to buying at home. There were thirty papers returned. Of improve- ments street work led the list with the favor of 18; a new city hall was favored by 9; a rest room by 4; pic ture show 4; horseshoe court im provements 3; city park 2; O. N. S. building 2; new houses 2; new factor ies 2; develop present plants 2. Single voles spread over a lot of subjects, among them being, stage terminal, tourist camp, steam luundry, skating rink, men's furnishings. Only one favored planting roses in parking space and another solitary enthusiast favored planting shade trees on city streets. One voted for fewer dogs and one for more local news in the city dailies. Most of the answers were evidently dictated on the spur of the moment, but the idea of im provement was strong. The Monmouth creamery was rep-' resented at the meeting by something like eight employes.
