thalu figured in an auto wreck Just
beyond tho top of the Tygh Ridge

300 yards when he was arrested by
the tooting of an auto horn. At
there was no other car in sight Mr.
Kilen bucked up to the capsized wit
chine and dittcovercd Jack doubled
up under it. He went to the Hend

When Mr. Kilene approached Jack
had strength to ask for relief and to

hoping to attract attention to his
predicament.

from The Dalles, stating that Jack
says he wa3 ran into by an east

line, to the effect that the Property

endorse any particular form."
. The official record of the meeting
shows that a .motion to approve in
jrindplo an income tax with a

rvport on income taxation to the
ib-committe was continued for the
purpose of malting such study and
report after tho November election.
The above is the substance of the

chairman of the Property Tax Re
lief' commission.

Adrertiting Does Pay
Does advertising pay? We sa,v it
does. For verification of our state
ment ju: t ask Joe Chastain. A week
or so ago he advertised three lost
horses. The day after publication a
man appeared at Joe's home and
told him Iiis horses were at Friend.
Joe sent a man after them, recover
ing his beet span, and all because of
the lost notice appearing in The
Times.

to make a public appearance. The
need of a band has long been rec
