OREGON'S STATE TAX LEVY
Amount to BE Paid by Polk County
is $26,667.74.

The final apportionment of Oregon's
state taxes for the various counties
was finished yesterday. A levy of 1.6
mills has been made to cover taxes for
general state purposes, as against
levy of 20 mills for last year. This is
a decrease of O.6 mills, notwithstand-
ing the fact that levy of 1-25th of a
mill was made for the Normal School
at Monmouth this year. The total
tax to be raised is $1,ss5,615.
Polk County's portion will amount
to 26.667.74, a reduction of nearly
$40, 900 from the amount wrung from
this county by the old system of ap-
portionment a few years ago.

yer of Dallas, but now practicing his

Van B. Sears, pioneer resident of
the Bal1ston neighborhood, was a Dali

seemed extravagantly high few years
ago. The demand for fruit land is
strong and many orchard
tracts are being sold. From informa-
tion gained during recent trips to
the Middle West, Mr.. Sears believes
the rush of homeseekers to Western
Oregon will be greater this year than
ever before.

The christmas receipts of mail mat
ter at the office were unusually heavy,
and necessitated hard work and long
hours on the part of the office force.
Tn addition to the usual amount of
letters, papers and packages that
were handled, the duties of the clerks
we're largely added to by the great
lumber of postcards that passed
through the office on their way to
.onvey holiday greeting. During the
month of December the number of
)ne-cent stamps amounted to 24,480.
As these were used almost wholly on
postcards, it gives an idea of the vast
humber of these cards that were re-
.eived and distributed in the Dallas
sfi1ce One business house in Dallas
l1one sold 1000 postcards during the
holidays. In 1909 the sales of one
lent stamps reached the number of
8,g4s, being less than the number
old for the same period of 1910 by
637
notwithstanding the extra rush of
business in the office, the work was
landed by the regular force, consist
