THOMAB «qpilK Little New Year" Is a * very eager youngster. He pops into view overnight; In fact, one second’s difference Is the margin between his being nothing- at ail and then appear ing as something very definite to reckon with. From the min ute he claps his eyes on you, he belongs; he Is your “Little New Year” and you've got to decide pretty quickly what to do with him. Then« is no possible way of escaping this parenthood. He’s going to stick to you like a burr for 366 days, every min ute, every hour. It’s really quite alarming. Are you going to bring up the little fellow on underdone resolu tions! Are you going to make him a present of malnutrition by feed ing him on Irregular meals of procrastination 1 Are you going to ruin his char acter (nnd maybe your own) by rows and rows of pleasant libs to prevent n feeling of discom fort about Ills growing up Into a harum-scarum boy! Like human children, he needs watching and guiding and discipline. You’ll never have the opportunity of "raising" this particular lad agnln. He will slip from your fingers on the night of December 31—your "Little New Year" grown Into whatever manhood you've permitted him. Let's send him out a fine, sturdy fellow I (©. 1»2Z.

Oregon City this year is facing the heaviest tax levy in the histoi-y of the municipality. At a meeting of the Corvallis Elks’ lodge it was voted unanimously to erect a 360,000 temple. The Fairview school near Notl, 25 miles west of Eugene, has been closed on account of diphtheria. The total tax levy in Eugene« next year will be 55.1 mills, unless a^ re duction in the county levy is made. Fifty-nine of the 128 school districts in Linn county voted special taxes this year, including the three union high schools. Official totals reported indicate that the endowment fund for Willamette university has been oversubscribed by approximately 83000.

A rehearing will be held in Wash ington, D. C., on January 3 on the protest of Pendleton against the pro posed Wallula cut-off which was in cluded in the Oregon state highway commission construction programme at the request of the federal bureau of good roads. The world war veterans’ state aid commission, according to a report pre pared, has paid a total of 2457 loans to ex-service men. Of this number 805 loans were made on farm prop -rty and 1652 on city property. The grand total of loans approved and paid by the com mission is 86.186,100. Two suits seeking damages aggre gating more than 8307,000 from the United States shipping boarl emer gency fleet corporation were filed in circuit court at Portland !. the As toria Marine Iron Works. Th«« suits grew out of cancellation of war con tracts for the fitting out of 27 hulls of government vessels. That only about 40 per cent of the fire loss in Astoria in the recent con flagration was covered by insurance was the belief expressed by James N McCune of the Oregon Insurance Ra ting bureau. Mr. McCune said it would be impossible to give definite figures until a complete adjustment of losses had been made. Blds are being received by the de partment of the Interior for approxi mately 84,000 acres of valuable tim-j berlands on the Warm Springs Indian reservation. The timber, which is in a favorable location in central Oregon, consists of 482,000,000 feet of yellow and sugar pine, 44,000/100 feet «of Douglas fir and other varieties. The hearing of the application of the Oregon public service commission asking that the Central Pacific and other railroads operating in this state be ordered to extend their trackage for the benefit of eastern and central Oregon, has been continued indefin itely, according to information receiv ed from members of the interstate commerce commission. Under a new marriage law proposed by Dr. Owens Adair, the passage of which will be asked at the next ses sion of the Oregon legislature, both the man and the woman must undergo physical and mental examinations be fore the county clerk will be author ized to grant the necessary license. Exemption is made in the bill of wo men 45 years or older. Present indications are that the Umpqua valley broccoli crop will ripen fully a month early and harvesting may start the last part of January or early in February if the warm weather continues. So far the Umpqua valley has not been touched by the cold spell which has been sweeping the rest of the state, and the unusually warm | weather for this season has caused the > broccoli to mature rapidly. The state tax levy for the year 1923, which aggregates 88.835,295.39, shows a decrease of 8540,993.72 when com pared with the state tax levy for the year 1922. according to announcement made by members of the state tax com mission. In 1922 the state tax levy was 89,376,289.11. The reduction in the levy was attributed by Frank K. Lovell, state tax commissioner, to in- j creased receipts, and the fact that only I items authorized by law were taken i into consideration. The rate for 1923 is 8 3-4 mills. Plans have been begun at the sug gestion of the war department and legislation initiated which are expect ed to result in laying a solid earth foundation for that part of the burned city of Astoria which formerly stood on timber piling. A bill was intro duced in the senate by Senator Mc Nary making available from an un expended balance in the rivers and harbors fund 8500.000 for dredging the channel in front of the burned city and providing that the earth re moved from the channel be used in filling In ground. ____ t *• Have You Seen Those New Additions j We Have Just Recently Platted? | r. 5 Sunrise and Park Additions I both of which aie close io I lie In land Hijhway and th« L us IT iphr scc’ioii. ihe Iola are lartre, 50x100, tine view and good soil.
