STATE ROAD BUILDERS MEET
Polk County Court Is Represented by
Judge Ed r. Coad.

The Oregon Good Roads Associa-
ton held remarkably representative
meeting at Portland, Monday, Decem-
ber 12, DR.. Andrew C. Smith presid-
ing More than 200 road supervisors
responded to the invitation of the
meeting and eight or ten County
Judges from the leading counties were
present, Judge Ed f. Coad, of Polk
County being among the number.
Five laws were taken up, section by
section, and argued thoroughly, but
without any noticeable friction in the
debate The main feature of the
meeting was the appointment of a
Board of Highway Commissioners and
a State Highway Board, TO carry on
the work. One resolution introduced
took up the question Of the taxation of
automobiles. and 1t was significant
that this resolution was introduced by
the automobile people themselves.
Quite a spirited discussion took place
on this resolution, but there was no
disposition on the part of any auto
mobile owner present, nor indeed, on
the part of any manufacturer or agent
present. TO evade tax upon automo-
biles, provided such tax was made rea-
sonable and the proceeds used en-
tirely for the maintenance and oiling
of roads.
A great deal of interest was taken In
the question of line Of permanent
travelled highways and the manner OF
locating the roads under the section
relating thereto considered, was left
entirely to the County Courts Of the
respective counties.

met the trains regularly and hauled
in the aggregate severel thousand

could run Old Joe out Of business. but
he is stin hauling the bulk OF the

A few months ago some Of the pas
sengers OF the road thought his rig
was getting a little shabby and Il was
reported that an auto would be put
on. This didn't scare Old Joe a bit

in the meantime, but Joe stiil more
than held his own. and the first OF the

Salem. He csn haul IA people now
comfortably and the rig rides like a

Joe says he has had more compn-
ments in the last few days than he
ever had before in his NE. and ne

Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. lire
ceipts for the week were 1924 cattle,
IL calves, $50 hogs and 210S sheep.
The range of values in all lines was
higher. There was a demand for
some extra cattle for the Christmas
trade, and this accounts for the higher
prices. The quality of the offerings
was much better than usual and buy
ers were eager for everything that
came to market. The sale of one hay
fed steer at $40 per hundred pounds
was due to phenomenal quality 1t was
a thoroughbred shorthorn of nearly
perfect beef type. Cows sold at good
prices and there was an extra good
demand for bulls,
Lambs were in good demand and
one lot brought 81 per hundred
pounds They were better than any
thing that has been on the yards for
some time.
The hog market took an upward
shoot, one load having brought $3.50,
The market at the end of the week
closed at $3.50 with eager takers for
everything that was offered.
The following are representative
sales: Steers, $5.65 to $40; cows,

ers. $3.50; ewes, $S.75; hogs, $3.50 to

to the judges and clerks of election
Tor use on election day.
If at that time there happens to be
any qualified elector whose name
fails to appear upon the list he may
cast his ballot, providing he has the
affidavit of one freeholder. This free
holder must be some one who is per-
sonally known to any one of the
judges or clerks of election in the pre-
cinct where the elector wishes to cast
his ballot. 1t is believed this plan will
reduce fraud to a minimum.
Under the present system of regis
tration and the necessity of securing
six freholders to swear in the elector
who has not registered, voting takes
on more the aspect of a crime than it
does a privilege" stated Senator-elect
Carson today. "It is little wonder to
me that the vote in Oregon is small"

HARDNESS INCREASES
ONE PUPIL LATE FOURTEEN
TIMES IN ONE MONTH.
County Superintendent Seymour Urges
Teachers to Take Steps to
Better Conditions.

The report of the public schools of
Polk County for the month ending
December shows a total of SIS tar
dies. County Superintendent Seymour
is displeased with this showing and
will urge the teachers to see that it is
not repeated The report shows that
one pupil was tardy IA times during
the month, a record for which the
Superintendent says there can be no
excuse.
Neither was the attendance as good
last month as in the month preceding,
but this fact causes no surprise or crit
lcism at headquarters, for it must be
remembered that the weather has
much to do with attendance in the
rural districts and there were many
days in November when weather con-
ditions were anything but desirable.
The Superintendent calls attention to
the fact, however, that in order to
make the greatly desired 95 per cent
in attendance for the year, it will be
necessary for every school to work for
every possible day of attendance dur
ing the remaining school months.
The following schools have been
placed on the roll of honor for Polk
County, for having made per cent of
attendance of 95 or more: Dallas.
Pedee, Red Prairie, Lewisville, Salt
Creek, Scroggins, Bethel, Perrydale,
Gooseneck, Independence, West Salem,
Buena Vista, Spring Valley, Harmony,
North Dallas, Etna, Fir Grove. Oak
dale, Mccoy, Guthrie, Liberty, Black
Rock, Falls City, Pioneer, Cherry
Grove, Oakhurst, Mistletoe.
Few Show No Tardiness.
Schools placed on the roll of honor
for not having any tardies for the
month are Red Prairie, Parkers, VAL
ley View, Bethel. Gooseneck. Spring
