"A very attractive cut of the
OAC basket bal team appeared in
the Portland Telegram Wednesday

attractive pose. and it is without

Assessor Davis has reques' ed
the county court to provide him
with a road district map of the
county. There are occasional
changes in the boundaries of road
districts. Lands in the districts Of
ten change ownership and the
necessity of properly locating
every parcel of land, howeve- small,
with reference to a road district,
occasions much inconvenience both
to the assessor AMI to the owner.
The plan is to procure a present
ownership map sn1 mark,
with erasable lines, the road district
boundaries. Whenever a bound.
ary is changed and whenever a
piece of land changes hands the
erasable lines would permit of the
necessary corrections.
1t came near being a tragedy.

trying to break up the mass of logs
so they would better pass over

He reached to recover it and fell
Then with quick movement O
the logs he went over. The jostlin,
crowding logs and the man first on
on top and then the other cleared
the dam, and passed On into th
swift deep water below. Most Q

ger happenednear at the momeu
and pulled him out of the water
A leg badly bruised and an ic.
ducking were the only consequence
of this wild ride amid the log
that couldn't be made again in
thousand times, and so fortunat
an escape, be the record.
