Assessor Forrest states this de- crease is cauied by two factors, The first is that personal property this year was assessed on a 50 per cent basis as compared to 60 per cent last year. The second factor is the loss of some business establishments, to gether with low Inventories, especial ly in the amount of logs and lumber on hand as of Jan. 1, this year. The Public Utility valuations, re cently received from the State Tax Commission, also show a decrease in assessed valuations. This decease amounted to 3313,404. The Utility valuations for the previous year were 33,564,533, whereas they dropped to 33,251,139 for the present year. The total loss in assessable valua tion of the Utilities and the Personal property assessments is 3605.134. As sessor Forest and his office force are very busy at the present time totaling the valuation of all rehl property. This will be released as soon as avail able. It is estimated by Mr. Forrest that there will be a loss in assessed valuation on the real property of ap proximately 3400,000 due to county tax--foreclosure, acquisition of large blocks of property by the Federal Government WhiclTis not assessable, and through loss in valuation by tim ber removal. 1 — j..L..- We carry a complete line of V- Belts for all makes of Refrigerators, Washing Machines and other equip ment.

Have you a little bomb in your camping gear- pick- era? “Several Oregon families who spent the fall months in the forest and wilderness areas of western Ore gon searching for wild blackberries and huckleberries last year started forest fires," Mrs. Stella Cutlip, North Bend, Coos county chairman of Keep Oregon Green, stated today. “I want to warn berry picking families and campers who hunt berries in the woods to be careful with their camp fires and do not smoke while in wood ed areas.” Forest fire authorities' point out that this season may break a five- year all-time low record for forest fires because of the lack of rainfall and the extremely dry condition of the forests. Just for example, over an 11-month period, September to July, Portland had its second record dry spell. The rainfall was 26.73 inches, whereas the lowest mark for that period was in 1923-24 when only 'human ingenuity could devise.

Do not look for the real reason for his resignation, for it will not be made public. Before Fly became chairman of FCC he took a flyer in the power situation in the Oregon-Washington country but left the Bonneville ad ministration to dabble with the com mission on communications. He made a few talks on power in Washington and Oregon, but did not undertake to run the show as he has since been doing with FCC.
