During part of this time Mr. Hlm ler operated the store that is now owned by the Wilson Brothers. Mr Hlmler operated the store at that tim e as a general merchandise store. Secs Big Future for Nyssa Mr. Himler said that he saw a bright future for Nyssa, with the coming of sujar beet crops, the completion of the Owyhee project and the opening up of the Black Canyon project across the river in Idaho. Another feature of the mill, under the new management, will be that of custom grinding and milling. This will prove popular with farmers who want to bring wheat and other grains in and either,have the wheat ground into flour or just take a straight exchange for flour, accord ing to Mr. Himler. who will take over the duties of business manager while Mr. Locke will be in charge of the milling end of the business. Mr. Warren moved into this coun try in 1892 with his wife and two small children and has been active in local affairs since then. The mill was started as a stock company in 1917 with ten members but for various reasons they one by one dropped out and Mr. Warren carried on alone. He paid o ff the total indebtedenss in three years and built the present building himself. Plans Indefinite Future plans of Mr. Warren are not definite .but he said that he just planned to ‘take it easy for awhile.’ Nyssa residents will wish Mr. W ar ren all the joys of a well earned rest.

Xmas Seal Sales ShowingSuccess Larger Purchases Noted in Ontario Early returns from the sale of Christmas seals show that the sale this year will be a successful one, according to Charles H. Chrlsteeon, chairman for Malheur county. Monday evening, five days after the envelopes containing the stamps were posted. Mr Christeson report ed that approximately (100 had been returned. This is the second time in the history of the state that it has been possible to waive the state property levy both within and without the six per cent levy, thanks to the in come tax, the former occasion being In 1932. Technically, o f course, there is still a small state levy against property. That is found in the levy for ele mentary school purposes which is included in the state levy but which for all practical purposes is in real ity a county levy inasmuch as the revenue from this levy is retained in the counties in in which it is raised and never goes through the hands o f state officials. Tax Estimated Below 1936 In an effort to keep within a safe margin in their estimate of state revenues for 1938 the tax commis sion has placed collections from in come taxes for that year at *4,337,- 704.67 which is approximately *1,- 000.000 below actual collections for the current year. In thus reducing their estimate on Income tax rev enues, the tax commission explained, they were prompted by fears that 1937 incomes upon which next year’s taxes will be based have suffered serious shrinkage principally due to labor troubles which have closed down many cf the larger saw mills and allied operations.
