meeting for the first time since Ban
don burned on September 26, fixed
the total loss in the conflagration at
»1,500,000.
Corvallis—A gain of 53 per cent,
in total value of building permits is
sued here over the 1935 figure was
announced last week by the assis
tant city engineer, Charles Willey.

merce has opened a contest for a

ber 31. Five dollars are offered the

Liberty playshed was held last week.
Frank B. Bennett, city superinten
dent; Claud Barrick, chairman of
Liberty school board, and Vern Hig
bee, principal, were speakers.
Klamath Falls—Birds eggs, possi
bly a century old, were discovered
in the trunk of a large fir tree by
loggers last week. The loggers, top
ping the tree, noticed a fault which
they traced to a cavity where the rest
and its seven occupants were hidden.
The Dalles—Just twenty years ago
Oregon had the same sort of dry spell
as this year’s, said Charles McOlli-
get, Condon wheat rancher, and at
that time he practically gave up all
hope for his fall wheat crop. Warm
rains came along, however, and by
July his wheat was waist high.
Bend—Two road contracts, one
calling for construction of a new
route for the Ochoco highway near
Prineville and the other a 13-mile
unit on the Central Oregon highway
west of Burns, are under way. Sub
surfacing on the new route of The
Dalles-California highway between
Bend and Redmond has been com
pleted.
Enterprise—A shipment of 3,000,-
000 eastern brook trout eggs arrived
at the large salmon hatchery here
operated by the state fish commis
sion. The trout eggs came from the
game commission, indicating that
the local hatchery will be used for
hatching game fish, even if the plant
has not been bought by the game
commission.
Wheeler—Prospects are favorable
for a county organization whereby
the mutual interests of fish and game
propagation may be promoted by a
common unit, according to Robert
Cronen of the Sunset Fish company.
Rod and gun clubs in the area have
been contacted and have given indi
cations they are willing to attend pre
liminary meetings.
Eugene—More than 70 per cent,
of the students enrolled in the six
Oregon state institutions of higher
education earn part or all the expense
of their college education. The fig
ures were embodied in a report re
leased from the office of the chan
cellor of the system. Those earning
their way completely represent 28
per cent, of the total.
COURTHOUSE ASSURED
Hood River—Through acquisition
of the former Butler bank building
for $15,000, Hood River county has
the nucleus of a county court build
ing which will, it is estimated, fill
all requirements during the life of
any of the present residents of this
county. . The property was valued at
$10,000 some ten years ago when
the building was erected at a cost
of $100,000.
Since Hood River became a coun
ty, all official business has been
transacted in an old frame building,
part of which was the first school in
this city.

IME and Sew-Your-Own
fashions march on. To-
day’s trio have the simplic
ity, elegance and practical
ity so vital to the up-to-the-
minute well-groomed woman—and
so within reach of the modern, pro
gressive members of The Sewing
Circle
Pattern 1812—Little Miss Two-
To - Five can manage her own
dressing with the aid of this frock
that buttons down the front. She
will be the picture of daintiness
too, with such clever aids as prin
cess lines, puff sleeves and an in-
triguing little collar. The one piece
step-in is the essence of practical
ity—a great boon to the young
ster’s comfort. This ensemble is
available in sizes 2, 3, 4 and 5
years. Size 3 requires 2% yards
of 35 or 39 inch fabric and %
yard contrasting.
Pattern 1998—This new dress
"belongs’’ in almost any company.
Its great simplicity will endear it
to homemakers, and business
women alike. It is a combination
of charm, good lines and youth
fulness. You'll want two versions
of this style — one with short
sleeves, the other with long.
Pique, silk crepe or velveteen will
serve nicely as the material. It
is available in sizes 34, 36, 38,
40, 42, 44 and 46. Size 36 requires
42 yards of 35 inch material,
with long sleeves 4% yards.
Pattern 1938—Daytime distinc
tion takes on a new meaning in
this super - styled frock. The
squared shoulders, swing skirt
and peplum fulness are the im-
portant details which give it such
perfectly balanced finesse. Yet not
one part of it is difficult to cut or
to sew. This is a dress which is
adequate for every occasion—save
the strictly formal.
Available for sizes 14 to 20 (32
to 42 bust). Size 16 requires 41
yards of 39 inch material. The
collar, jabot and belt in contrast
take % yard.
Speech on a Match
On a match received in Vienna
by M. Goemoes, premier of Hun
gary, is the full text of his speech
outlining a plan for national em
ployment. The speech contained
1,170 words, and an admirer in
Saigo Tarjan wrote it on the
match. He used a special hard-
steel pen and a strong magni
fying glass. The task, he said,
took several months to complete.

Too often the honeymoon ex-

wise woman never lets her husband
know by outward sign that she is
a victim of periodic pain.
For three generations one woman
has told another how to go “smil

helps Nature tone up the system,
thus lessening the discomforts from
the functional disorders which
women must enduro in the three

Astoria—Heavy catches of silver-
side salmon in the Columbia have
kept local fish canneries operating
steadily for some time. A large pack
of river silvers is expected after the
fresh-fish market failed to absorb
the unusually heavy receipts.
Newberg—An expected 25 per
cent, increase in Christmas business
over the 1935 holiday season is the
opinion of a number of local mer
chants. Prospect* are, in fact, for
the best holiday trade since 1929 and
may even top that year’s sales.
