Oregon Survey Shows Town
Property Hardest Hit
Good Roads Aid in Hold
ing Rural. Land Values
SALEM, Ore., Aug. 14. (AP) Real
property in Oregon has shown a de
predation In value from 26.6 per cent
on Improved city lots to 29.1 per cent
on farm property during the past five
years. A survey of property values
compiled by the World . War Veter
ans' State Air commission revealed.
The findings of the survey over the
state was announced today by Jer
rold Owen, secretary to the commis
sion. The depreciation figures are exclu
sive of Multnomah county, the report
pointed out, but the dropping values
there show a spread of from 20 per
cent to 33 1-3 per cent on farm pro
perty and from 20 to 26 per cent on
Improved residential- property. The
' various compilations were based on
judgments of the county courts In
answer to requests' of Governor
Julius L. Meier for estimates . for
guidance of bonus loan appraisers.'
' Konds Add Value
"Analysis of the survey," Owen said
"Indloates that farm property In the
vicinity of good roads, particularly In
the western part of the state, shows
but little depreciation. Small farms
nave nov oeen azrectea oy tne de
pression, relatively, nearly so much as
the larger holdings. In eastern Ore
gon, because of the drought condi
tions and low wheat prices, some
lands have depreciated as high as 76
per cent In the estimate of comity
officials.

TO CURB ANTICS
AND STAY HOI
William Joyce, a defiant 13-year-
old boy accused of. a multitude of
petty offenses, by his mother and
grandmother and Chief of Police
McCredlo, appeared before . Judge
Alex Sparrow of the Juvenile court
this morning and gave his "word of
honor," that h would bo a, good boy
In the future.; He miist mind Mb
grandmother report to thift chief of
police every Saturday morning, and
be In bed by nine o'clock each night.
It was with considerable difficulty
that Judge Sparrow - exacted an
".honor promUe" from the young
man. Kin said he always kept his
solemn word.
tt was charged that young' Joyce
yesterday stole $12 from hlB grand
mother and was caught Just as he
was ready to board the train for
California.
Among the offenses listed against
him are:
Stealing Portland papers from the
depot platform; knocking down
young children; stealing pineapples
from a warehouse; bolsterousness at
moving picture shows; running away
from home and staying a month at
a time, the last Jaunt taking film to
Reno, Nevada; tearing of Chief of
Police McCredle's coat by attempting
to take his star, and associating with
tramps.
The boy, according to his grand
mother, was In the Washington state
reformatory when ten years old, and
It did no good. She also said she
had "wore out the willows on him
In the woodshed," with Vie same re
sult. His relatives felt he should be sent
to the reform school, but the court
felt a youth " with so much energy
should be given another chance,
