The two autos met and Kimball swung his car in Main street headed south, while Feeley tried'to avoid the col lision by turning into First street heuded east. He set his brakes but could not stop and ran into the Wright cash store building on the eorner.

The evening was opened with a short devotional service, consisting of Bible reading and prayer. The pres ident, Miss Mabel Hornibrook, then conducted a short business session.

The Graphic has been asked if there was not some mistake in the advertisements published by us rel ative to these elections, the two coming so close being confusing. No, there Is no mistake. The election on Saturday. December 10, will be held at the grade school building and Is for the purpose of voting to allow the board to Increase the tax more than six per cent. The clerk of the district Informs us that this Increase will In reality not exceed four-tenths of one mill, but the law requires the election and the percentage Is not based upon last year’s tax levy. The election to be held on Monday, December 12, will be at the city hail. This election Is for the purpose of voting on the school budget as pub lished In the Graphic. A few school districts have voted down the bud get this year, but we do not believe they were wise In so doing. Voting down the budget will necessitate the closing of the schools and to our minds would result In great loss to the city and district. For example, contracts have alrendy been signed with the teachers for the year and should the schools be closed the teachers could sue the district for the year’s wages under the contracts. Everyone Is feeling most keenly the high costs of everything munici pal, county, state and national and the tendency Is to vote down any thing and everything which adds to the tax expense, but surely we can not afford to be without schools and we believe the school budget should pass. However, unless those who feel this same way. go to the polls on ¡A Tuesday Afternoon William H.

All meats will be both state and gov ernment inspected. The present slaughter house is to be eliminated and all the meats will be killed and butchered by the Union Meat Co. of Portland under government su pervision with the exception of meats purchased locally. The pack ing business will of course be the principal business and It Is expected that they will pack several cars of hogs every week. In fact they expect j lo use all of the hogs which they can get locally. Among other things which the company are doing Is to lower all i meats at their shop. The prices, they state, have been cut on every thing and on some to below actual cost. This applies especially to sau sage and lard which as by-products to their packing, they expect to have In large quantities and which they will feature to the local trade. In reply to a query as to whether they would make any changes in the plant or equipment Mr. Howett re plied that'It would not be necessary as he considered them as good as any in the northwest. It is certain ly gratifying to the people of New- berg as well as to Mr. Crede to have this splendid plant so financed as to be able to operate to full capacity and Its operation will no doubt prove a real asset to the community.
