• Every farmer who
owns a truck, trailer or
pickup must apply for a
“Certifi cate of War Neces-
sity” to operate the vehicle
after Nov. 15, and the Uma-
tilla County USDA board is
preparing to assist county
truck owners make appli-
cation during a three-day
registration period, Oct. 22,
23 and 24. Jens Terjeson,
chairman of the county
farm transportation com-
mittee, will be in charge
of the registration. Without
a certifi cate, truck owners
will not be able to obtain
gasoline, parts or tires, the
chairman has stated. Appli-
cation blanks are now being
mailed to all truck owners.
Further information as to
locations of registration
places will be announced
next week.

• A summary of the
Umatilla County tax list
for the present year has
been completed by Asses-
sor C.P. Strain, and exclu-
sive of the public utilities
it shows a total assessment
of $40,367,334, where as
last year the amount was
$37,924,138. The wheat as-
sessment this year is lighter
than a year ago. This was
owing to the fact that there
was practically no wheat in
the hands of the farmers on
March 1. The public utility
corporations last year were
assessed at $10,866,693 in
this county. If the assess-
ment this year should be the
same the total assessment
of the county will be slight-
ly over $51 millions
• Z. Pupphrey, a ranch-
er three miles southwest of
Hermiston, is the owner of a
Duroc Jersey sow that he is
proud of, for she has turned
out to be a money maker for
him, as the following will
show: On October 5, 1916,
the aforesaid sow gave
birth to nine pigs, in May
1917, she had another lit-
ter of 11 and on October 4,
1917, she gave birth to 12
more, making a total of 32
in one year. Of this number
only two were lost. When
the fi rst litter were fi ve
months old Mr. Pumphrey
sold them for $112.50, and
at one month old 10 of the
second litter brought $50.
With the present prices for
pork, the owner expects to
clean up a goodly sum on
the third litter when he gets
ready to dispose of them.

The Herald fails to reach an
outside subscriber, either
through fault of this or the
post offi ce department, and
whenever it does invariably
we receive letters advis-

those who desire a change
of address, as the follow-
ing will show: Herald Edi-

to the above address. You
have been sending my pa-

know just when my sub-
