twister I ever saw. It struck suddenly one afternoon and for­ tunately we were on the outer edge but it was bad enough at that. Mother promptly herded me and brother into the cyclone cellar and we peered out to see what had happened to dad. We saw him coming through a cloud of hay that was being blown from a wagon load of hay that was bounc­ ing along, half in the air and half on the ground. The wagon was between dad and the cyclone cellar. He tried to slow up to let the wagon go by but he couldn’t because his feet only hit the ground about every fifteen or twenty feet. He and the wagon went by neck and neck but a couple of hundred yards farther on dad managed to get ahold of a fence post and held on but the wind was flapping him about much the same as mother used to shake her rugs. Dad managed to hold on till it was over but he lost a new pair of Levi Strauss over­ alls that the cyclone shook off him. I have l’ved in Oregon nearly fifty years and I like it. If the neighbors and Old Father Time don’t object too much, I intend to ASALUTE TO OREGON.. The longer I live in Oregon the better I like it. I sometimes won­ der if the native Oregonians real­ ize what a wonderful state they have. I don’t believe they do. To really appreciate what a grand country Oregon is they would have to live for awhile in some other state, any old state. After a few months they would be glad to come home to Oregon, the best state in the Union, where we have the finest f shing and hunting to be found anywhere, magnificent scenery, majestic mountains, the greatest forests of spruce and pine in the world. There are the rolling plains of Eastern Oregon where the prong­ horn antelope roam, the fertile fields of the Willamette valley, the great orchards of Hood River where the mighty Columbia rolls on to the sea. Our beautiful and picturesque coast is known, na­ tionwide, for its vacation and re­ creational facilities and our cli­ mate is ideal. Do you know that Northwest Oregon has the most temporate climate to be found anywhere ? It is a scientific fact that from the Columbia river down through Tillamook and Lincoln counties is the most temporate climate, the least extremes of heat or cold, to be found anywhere in the world. There may be many places where it is warmer al] the year and places where it is colder but the most ideal living conditions in the world are found right here in Oregon. There may now and then be a little more rain than we need, but if you lived in So. Dakota where my childhood w#s spent, you would never complain again. Every year it was a gamble whether we would have a crop or it would be an- other year of failure, when we watched day after day hoping and praying for rain while the hot winds blew from the southwest and the sun blazed inexorably down and we tried to count the days till Housewives Who i Compare Prices the fields would be withered and dried up if the rain did not come, When the rain did come I have seen my father rush out bare­ headed with his arms outsterched as tho’ he would embrace the blessed, lifegiving rainstorm. I remember also the hot, sultry nights that made sleep impossible. I used to sleep out doors in the summer and many the time I have dipped my sheets in the horse trough by the windmill, wrung them out and wrapped them around myself trying to get cool enough to sleep. I tried to tell some Oregonians about it but they would not believe me. They could not understand as the nights here •are so cool and one sleeps so peacefully. Another thing we should be thankful for is that we seldom, if ever, have cyclones. In the cyclone belt of Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas, one of the first things the early settlers built was a cyclone cellar. It might not be needed often but when it was needed, oh brother, how it was needed. I remember the fe?

The bond houses assert that this margin of safety is required in order to enable them to market the bonds, in as much as they are not revenue bonds and not a general obligation of the city, With this proposed increase, it is estimated that the entire $90,- 000 issue would be retired in about seven years instead of the original ten year period, thus saving interest charges.
