C. R. Belshee, our successful
Moro market man, said this week
that the farmer who will begin the
New Year with a resolution to pay
more attention to beef, sheep and
hogs, and less ta horses; and stick
to the resolve to raise not a lot
but some; is the one who will be
soon well fixed financially. M r.B
said that he questioned if a car of
marketable beef could be secured
in the county. That means local
cattle will soon be selling here for
the Portland *price AND freight.

The special school meeting held
Saturday was attended by a nura-
ber of interested tax payers. The
report of the board showed an
expense of $8,448.31 would be. in*
curred to finish the school year,
including salaries, unpaid bills, es-
ti mated incidental expenses, and
all indebtedness left after building
the new addition. O f this amount
$1720.82 is available for this pur-
pose and a 10-mill tax was voted
to raise enough to put the district
entirely out of debt next year, ex­
cept, for a bonded debt of $4,000.
It needs a 5-mill special tax each
ycar f ° r knds to support a nine
months term.
