grand jury investigating the oregon land
frauds has returned true bills against
Claude r. Thayer, the Tillamook cant
talist, son OF former Gov. Thayer OF this
state. and several other operators are in

action Is emphasized by the fact that
when the indictment was returned there
remained but six hours until tho law
would have been powerless 10 reach the
crime.
In September. 1929, approximately 100
persons made filings at the Oregon CITY

General Notes and Items
of Interest

From indications February of 1905
will remain in the average in the build
ing activity of the now past years.
For February so far 539 permits have
been granted valued at $710,626 In
February, 1904, 4S2 permits were is
sued valued at $SS927S and in Feb
ruary, 1903, only 464 permits were is
sued, leaving a total Of s7S0,053. The
comparison shows no decline. The sta.
tionary condition is based on the fact
that many persons are not taking out
permits to avoid the listing on the tax
roll.
In Los Angeles the energetic popula-
ton has become so accustomed to
large and bigger things as time pro-
ceeds that any set back is looked upon
as a peculiar circumstance. The COM
parison is given in The Herald today
so that the facts can be fully under
stood When the entire facts are con-
sidered, with the short month and one
holiday, the record so far made by
February is one that should engender
a spirit of pride.
