Official Paper for Morrow County
Income Tax
With next Monday the final date
for filing individual income tax re
turns to the federal government, a
last minute appeal is made by Hen
ry Morgenthau, secretary of the
treasury.
"This year more than six million
American citizens are filing their
first income tax returns, and a sim
ilar number will actually make their
initial contributions to government
through this medium of federal tax
ation," Morgenthau says.
"Reports reaching the treasury
department from all collection dis
tricts indicate that our people have
cheerfully assumed the additional
tax burden which is one of the in
evitable consequences of total war.
"While these reports offer testi
mony to the fact that a new spirit
pervades the nation's taxpayers, it
is still imperative that the pubr'.;
be reminded, again and again, of the
need for prompt payment of their
tax liabilities."
W. H. French Home
After Trip South
W. H. French, pioneer Blue Moun
tain farm operator, arrived home
the end of the week from an exten
sive trip, highlights of which he re
lates as follows:
My first stop after leaving Port
land was Los Angeles, a wonderful
city but I didn't like it much.
Second stop, Yuma, Arizona, 142
feet elevation. A fine city, warm
and dry. The country around here
is irrigated from the Colorado river
and they can raise nearly every
thinglots of different kinds of
fruit, the largest grapefruit I ever
saw; 18 carloads of lettuce were
shipped from Yuma the last day I
was there. They raise 7 crops of
alfalfa a year.
Third step, Agua Caliente, hot
springs and health resort. I spent 8
days there, taking the baths and
getting cured of rheumatism. The
water is 106 degrees and inns under
ground one foot. If you dig down
a foot you can strike hot water.
Raise honey here from the mesquite
trees and also do some mining.
Fourth stop, Phoenix, where I
spent ten days; elevation 1.090 feet,
located on the Salt river. Four large
airports here, planes in the air night
and day. This is the center of the
fertile Salt river valley, and they
raise everything, including grape
fruit, oranges, lemons, olives, and
walnuts. The best oranges I ever ate
were navel oranges that I picked
off the trees near Phoenix. Lots of
beautiful roses in bloom and many
other flowers that I didn't know
the names of.
Fifth stop, Mineral Wells, Texas,
home of the Crazy Crystals. I stayed
here a week. This has been a fam
ous health resort for more than 50
years. The mineral water from the
wells, which gave the city its name,
is curative and thousands of people
come here annually to drink the wa
ter and take the baths. I visited one
of the world's largest plants for
bottling mineral water, which is lo
cated here. Fairly good stock coun
try. Sixth stop, Weatherford, elevation
932 feet. I liked the country around
here the best of any I saw on my
trip. They raise cotton by the hun
dreds of acres, lots of peanuts, and
the largest watermelons in the world
called the Jumbo melon, weighing
as much aa 140 pounds each; also
raise lota of peaches and other kinds
of fruit. This is a good stock coun-

Seeks Secretaryship
Robert S. Farrell, Jr.
Robert S. Farrell, Jr., speaker of
the Oregon house of representatives,
has announced his candidacy for the
Republican nomination as secretary
of state.
Farrell served the people of Ore
gon in the house of representatives
in th 1935 spcial session and the
regular sessions of 1939 and 1941. It
was in the latter session that he was
selected by the membership of the
house to preside as speaker, the po
sition he now occupies.
Farrell is married, has two young
daughters, and is a home owner.
try. They raise Caracul black sheep
used for fur coats. No valuable tim
ber in this country, just oak and
cedar with some ash.
Seventh stop, Fort Worth, Texas,
elevation 602 feet. Did not stay here
but took the bus several times from
Weatherford. This is the third larg
est city in Texas, the greatest man
ufacturing city in the southwest,
and has one of the largest livestock
markets. Mules are in good demand
here, selling as high as $350 a span.
Lots of grain raised around here.
This is as far east as I went, turning
back from here for home.
Eighth stop, Odessa, Texas, ele
vation 2,890 feet. This is the im
portant oil producing region, oil
wells as far as the eye can see in
every direction. It comprises 23,
000,000 acres. From here it didn't
look like the country would ever
run out of gas.
Ninth stop, El Paso on the banks
of the Rio Grande river, the largest
city located on the Mexican border.
Warm, dry climate; elevation 3,723
feet.
Tenth stop, Salton sea in lower
California. In this region are the
highest and lowest levels in the U.
S., reached by the Southern Pacific
railroad. The salt from the sea is
sent to Los Angeles to be refined.
Eleventh stop, Indigo, Cal., 20 feet
below sea level a small town but
center of large date groves. Saw lots
of ripe tomatoes on the vine here
and many kinds of tlowers in bloom.
Could see the snow on the mountains
so plain from here that it did not
seem possible for dates to be grow
ing. Twelfth stop, Sacramento, capital
of California, 30 feet elevation. A
beautiful city located in a beautiful
valley, the center of the fertile ag
ricultural district. Large asparagus
beds near here. They are now build
ing a dam on the Sacramento river
that will back the water 40 miles. It
will be used for irrigating the val
ley and for electric power. The dam
is called the Shasta.
The 13th stop, Portland, and I felt
I was getting near home. Here I was
greeted by that good old Oregon
mist that keeps everything green
without irrigation. For water, tim
ber and livestock I think the state
of Oregon would be hard to beat.
