No provision can be made for
absentee voting in tho school bond
election Tuesday, December Hi, it
was announced Saturday at tho
school superintendent's office.
Some, question has arisen in the
past few days regarding this angle.
Qualifications for voting in tlio
election are slightly different from
those of a regular city or state
election. The Oregon state school
luws provide as follows:
"Any citizen 21 years of ago who
has resided1 in tho district 30 days
immediately proceeding tho elec
tion and has property in tho dis
trict, as shown on the last assess
ment, on which ho or she is liable
or subject to pay a tax, shall bo
entitled to vote."
Thep roperty qualification clause
can be satisfied by any person
"who presents evidence that he or
she has stock, shares or ownership
in any corporation, firm or co
partnership which has property In
the district on which said corpor
ation, firm or co-partnership pays
flaxes, even though his or her indi
vidual name does not appear on
the lax roll."

conducted last year showed that
the fruit tonage could bo increased
beyond belief.
Tests would also ha conducted

soils.

still in a formative stato, has the
support of state, federal and coun
