t i' f; j HIGH QUALITY HUNAN CITIZENS 11 CAR OF TURKS MASSACRED BYi SHIPPED EAST Co-op Dispatches 30,000 Pounds Christmas Birds . Saturday Plan Cleanup After january 1. A en r load of Rogue River valley turkeys, approximately 30,000 pounds, was shipped by the Far mers Co-Qpemtlvo Exchange last Saturday, consigned to the eastern market. It was an exceptionally large shipment, and the turkeys we re f o r the most pa r t of high quality and good size. Pursuant to the advice of eastern concerns, the birds were shipped In boxes, in stead of barrels. With the Thanksgiving pool, the Saturday shipment will make the total poundage of turkeys shipped from this valley this winter, close to 100,000 pounds. The Farmer's Co-Operative Ex change plans to form another tur key pool shortly after the first of the year for eastern consignment. There are quit a number of tur keys in the valley, that are not yet of the proper size, and many of the growers are holding back then birds, feeling that they should re ceive 30 cents per pound for the No. 1 grades. The price has ranged from 26c to 29c for the top fowls, to 2-c for the No. 2's. As near as can be ascertained, the vuliey turkey prices have been as good, or slightly higher, than those received in other northwest turkey pools.

' " ' it IN RACE FOR TWO ON CITY STREETS For driving his car at an un reasonable rate of speed Sunday evening on West Main street, said by li. M. ilaucom, the arresting officer, to be from 40 to 50 miles an hour, Kdwin Anderson, aged 20, was not only fined $l.r and costs of $4. but had hi license suspended for 30 days in Judge Taylor's court this forenoon. The testimony was that he eut in off of Oakdnle or South New town into West Main, and at tained his greatest speed between Orange and l'each streets, and still proceeded so fast that Offir cer ltaucom did not apprehend him until a point a mile west oi the city limits was reached., ---It also developed thnt another car was speeding so fast over West Main street at that time that the officer thought thnt the two enry might be racing, but this is denied by Kdwin Ander son, whose case is separate from the other speeding car. Baucom's efforts to capture the other speeder ngainst whom he intended to prefer a charge of reckless driving, or driving whil" intoxicated, were ineffective, and he wan only able to learn the li cense number of the tar. I p t early this afternoon he had not located the alleged intoxicated driver. Ui(tior had nothing to do with Anderson's arrest. In fact, it Is said he was just coming from church attendance when his speed ing attracted notice. UUi MAT PC nana WILLI STO-N, N.

Ashland, ehairma n, was read, without any major changes in its pro visions. The binlgft will be adopted as it imw stands, but there will tie some minor changes in Hh provisions to conform to the financial balances of the county at the end of the yt-a r. The budget, adopted, will be turned over to the assessor's office shortly after the first of the year for the compiling of the various leVirs. According to the county asses sor's office, ihe county levy will he about the same as Inst year lti.it mills, outside high school districts, and 1 3.5 mills inside high school districts. The county levy Will be two mills or more less In Ashland, where they have no general road or county library levy. The levy will be higher also in road districts that voted special levies. All the road districts of Hie county, but Oak drove, voted a special levy. No forecasts are being made on the state levy, which is problemat ical, owing to the tangle in .state finances arising from the intagible tax court decision. WHOLESALE SUGAR CUT BY PORTLAND DEALERS .
