Important to Dealers in Cigars and Tobacco The pending revenue measure which will probably be passed within a very short time provides increased taxes on cigars, tobacco and cigarettes. Every dealer in these commodities will be re quired to inventory his stock on the day following the passage o f the Act and to pay additional tax on such stock covering the diff erence between the tax paid un der the present Act and that provided by the new Act. There will be certain exempt ions allowed, but this matter, as well as the new rates, has not yet been definitely determined. Every dealer should arrange to keep posted as to the date o f the passage of the Act and take his inventory on that day. Blanks for the purpose o f filing inventory and return will be furnished by Milton A. Miller, Collector o f Internal Revenue, Portland, Oregon, as soon as they are received from the Depart ment at Washington. It is possi ble that arrangements will be made to distribute these blanks through the post offices in Ore gon but any dealer who does not receive his blank should apply for it to the Collector at Portland. $1.50 P er Y ear UNIVERSITr OF OREGON WILL LEND BOOKS The University Library is glad to lend to any responsible citizens o f Oregon such books as it can spare.

New Sidewalk Under W ay The new sidewalk up Broad way hill between 4th and 5th streets is being laid under the supervision o f Marshall Lovelace. When it is completed the ascent will be much easier to climb, than by the old rickety stairs and much safer to life and limb. Let the good work go on as there are many more places in town where new sidewalks are badly needed, not only for pedestrians but for the looks o f the town. Nothing gives a town a more shabby appearance than poor sidewalks. Order Your Lime Now All who want lime for agricul tural purposes are requested to get in touch with the undersign ed.
