Willamette valley.

willamette valley,
Owners of timber land in Polk coun
~ are holding: they expect to real
ize a large return on investment with
in the next few years on account of
this increased demand for lumber.
'AFor several years car builders
were prejudiced against lumber and
favored steel for construction pur-
poses," said Mr.. Donoher. "This
feeling has largely disappeared during
the past few months, as railroad men
have found that freight ears with
wooden frames and steel under frames
are far more desirable. There are
thousands of freight cars under CON
struetion at the present time, and as
a result of the change in the attitude
of the builders the demand for lum-
Der has increased. Then, too, there is
a large amount of building in pro-
gress in various lines throughout The
United States.

The first turnover was made Saturday
noon and the amount was s7463. go as
against $l5SS.23 in longer time,
last year.
The tax roll was not turned over
to the sheriff until February l3 this
year, ten days later than last year.
but the amount collected is far in ad.
vance. People seem anxious to pay
their taxes. Two citizens wanted TO
pay before Christmas, and INQUIRIES
have been coming in frequently dur
ing the past six weeks. Although on,
ly one half of the taxes have to BE-
paid by April 5, nine out of every
ten are paying the full amount-some-
thing unusual for this county or anp
other.
The sheriff's office is a busy place
these days; Deputies Hooker and
Richter are on the jump collecting
taxes and Sheriff Orr is serving pa
pers all over the county.

LICENSE FEE REFUNDED
COUNCIL DOES NOT COLLECT
FROM JOLLY ENTERTAINERS
Routine Business Transacted at Reg.
ular Meeting of City Fathers Last
Night; Just Quorum Present.

The regular meeting of the cit,
fathers last night was uneventful
only four councilmen were present
and routine business was the order OF
the session.
The council unanimously agreed to
refund the license fee which the CITY
was allowed to collect from the ",Jol-
ly Entertainers" Cities all along
the way have been letting the juve-
mile musicians put on their show with
out license.
An ordinance was read for the first
time which puts the repairing of
buildings within the fire limits at the
discretion of the council. The purpose
OF the ordinance is to allow repairs
to wooden residences. which are in
cluded in the fire limits and which
will probably not be needed for the
business district for some time. The
ordinance will eliminate all hardships
to this class of property.
The budget system was finally
adopted last night when all voted ave
on the second reading of the ordin-
anee. The law provides that any sup
plies for the city must be ordered by
the chairman of the committee involv-
ed. Upon presentation of the order,
duly signed, the auditor and police
Judge shall issue a requisition. Any
one violating the provisions of this
ordinance is liable to fine of not less
than So and not more than $50.
The case of two property holders
who took advantage of the bonding
act for street improvements but have
failed to keep up their yearly pay
ments and interest, was referred to
the finance committee with instruc-
tions to ascertain just what the delin-
quents intended to do, so that the
council might act accordingly.
Councilman Campbell volunteered |
to look into the value of the city's
engine and boiler at the rock quarry,
as Mayor Stone has received inquir-
les as to what the city would sell them
FOR.
Councilmen Muir, Sweeney and
Young were not able to attend last
hight s meeting.

DALLAS WINS Big GAME
MULTNOMAH is oUTPLAYED IN
ALL DEPARTMENTS.
Five Hundred People See Local Five
Defeat One of Strongest Teams
In The State.
(By III. KY

i Dallas completely outplayed Multi
nomah Saturday night and won 16 to
8 before 800 wildly enthusiastic fans.
I"Pebo" Shaw was the individual star
of the game; he played the fast Dew
ey to standstill at all stages and
slipped down the floor often enough
to shoot three baskets, himself.
The victory was not due to any one
factor, however; the best team won.
AT times Multnomah would show some
brilliant floor work and passing, but
they were unable to break through
the Dallas final defense and were
forced to shoot from near the center
of the floor with the usual result that
Dallas would secure the rebound aud
start their teamwork, which proved
more effective, as the story of field
baskets shows: Dallas Z, Multnomah 3
Multnomah drew first blood when
Ira Mix landed horseshoe from the
middle of the floor. Dewey rivaled
his teammates effort a few minutes
later with beautiful side arm
"shove" shot from difficult angle
Dallas had hard luck the first part Of
the first half; several shots tlirted
with the basket rim and seemed al
most embraced in the meshes of Mr..
Two-Points, but finally escaped, amid
groan from the expectant audience.
Shaw broke the ice by eluding the
Multnomah star, Dewey, and scoring
the first counter for Dallas. Three
others followed before the whistle
blew; one by Boydston was the result
of some pretty passing and one was
a "blue-ribbon" shot from the side
of the floor by Carl Fenton. Shaw
finished the fireworks with a second
basket, making the count 8 to 4 at the
end of the first half.
Laird Woods broke away from his
hoodoo in the second half and scored
two field baskets, despite the close
of Twining. Multnomah OPP
ened up their long shot campaign full
blast but none of the efforts were sue
sessful. Amid the cannonade Toomey
and Edwards had several chances to
score short shots but missed by a
marrow margin each time. Dallas
played safer game, content with
their six-pont lead, which they main
tanned throughout.
The game got little rougher as 1t
proceeded and Referee Jameson call
ed more fouls in the second half.
Dewey shot three out Of four and
Boydston two out of as many tries.
Clerin substituted for Edwards to-
wards the close Of the game.
The armory was filled to capacity
with Dallas fans and admirers of the
local quintet from the surrounding
owns; there were about 500 paid ad-
missions. This game closed the bas-
ketball season in Dallas unless the
team decides to play Willamette Uni
versity, which is anxious for a game.
Referee Jameson handled the game
in an able manner, being especially
Efficient at calling out Of bounds.

POLK APPROACH READY
SALEM IS SLOW IN PREPARING
FOR FERRY
Only One Ferry Will Operate, Cap
able of Transferring 80 Passengers
and 16 Teams In One Trip.

The Polk county approach for tn
ferry, which will provide the temper
ary means of communication between
the two counties until the bridge ii
built, is practically ready for trave
but the work on the other side of the
Willamette is of a dilatory nature
according to Roadmaster Waldo Finn
Up to this week the work on the
Marion county approach consisted Of
cutting few briars and a fir tree hui
very little dirt has been moved.
The Salem Ferry company will have
the only ferry on the run; the Mar,
| ion county court and Salem CONNER
cial club offered a franchise to Ben
Mitchell, Portland ferryman, whose
rates would have been about double
those of the Salem Ferry company,
but he is unable to secure lease on
property on this side of the river for
a landing, within the zone desired. T..
C. Bushnell, property owner Of West
Salem. and G. C. Skinner, Of Inde-
pendence, are the owners of the Salem
Ferry company.
Mr.. SINNERS gasoline launch,
which has been plying between In
dependence and East Independence,
will supply the power for operation.
The launch will carry so persons and
the ferry proper will be 100 feet long
and 20 feet wide, capable of carrying
16 teams. The ferry will be operat-
ed on a water line cable and will
make the round trip inside OF 20 min
utes. -,
The rates, which the company will
charge tor service. viii be determined
bv the Salem Commercial club and
the Polk county court, acting jointly.
The law requires that notices must be
posted 20 days before a license can
be granted for traffic and the two
bodies will get together as soon as
this time is up and fix the rates. The
company has a q. S. Marine license.
now. and needs only the permission OF
the Salem Commercial club and the
Polk court. both Of which have prac-
tieally been assured. II is believed the
ferry will be operating within a
week. :.
The Polk county approach Is di-
rectly east of the end of the old
bridge approach, on a straight line
with the Dallas and Salem road. The
Salem approach is back of the old
gas works, between rorrt and Che
meketa streets. The ferry will make
a great difference to the farmers Of
West Salem in handling this years
crops: without it they could realize
scarcely any return for their work
and on their investments.

.PRUNE RETURNS LARGE
POLK GROWERS RECEIVED S210,-
900 FOR 1916 CROP.
Sixteen Hundred Acres in County
Produced 3,50O,00O Pounds of
Dried Fruit.

Sixteen hundred acres of producin
prune land in Polk county gave to
tai of 3,5OO,OO0 pounds of drie
prunes in 1916. This was the larges
crop ever produced in the county, a.,t
it is conservatively valued at $21o,
10000. This crop gave wage Garner
of the county over $4,000 in casl
during the past year.
According to figures compiled by
prominent prune raiser of Dallas, th'
average crop of prune (dried) Wa
2125 pounds to the acre, or in greer
fruit about G200 pounds to the acre
worth $127.50. The harvesting ol
Folks crop cost $31.6O per acre, cul-
tivation $40 per acre and taxes So pei
acre. Figuring the value on an aver
age of $500 per acre, the interest at
6 per cent amounts to $50 per acre,
leaving an average net profit of $52.-
80 for the growers in 1916, and the
actual profits after paying all labor
costs for the handling of the crop
were $S4,640,
Besides the 1000 acres in bearing,
there were last year 1000 more acres
which had not reached a productive
stage. The increase in value on these
$1,000 acres is figured very conserva-
lively at $50 per acre per year, so
that last year these 1000 unbealing
acres increased in value $4,000. This
years planting has been quite heavy,
too, and will add materially to this
It cost $4,000 to cultivate the unbear-
ing land, and allowing $4,000 more Tor
interest on this acreage there was a
net increase of $67,20O.
The packing plant employed a force
of 125 people to pack the prines, 4O
men and S5 women. Their payroll was
$4,000. 1t cost to cultivate last year
$4,000, and to harvest the cIop
$50, 500, making a total OF SSI ,ooo
which went to labor in handling the
prune crop of the county.
A typical case of one prune raiser
is cited. His orchard produced 4VVV
nounds of dried fruit to the acre
which was worth $24O. 1t cost TINS
man $50 to harvest, $40 to cultlva'e
(including pruning) 50 taxes, and in0' ne
figured interest at 6 per cent s1os on s'OU' W.
II left him a net profit of sos per
acre, or if he would have to pay . pei
cent on valuation of $1,000 per acre
So wonld have had left $73 per acre
in ready cash.
And the prune industry is Just IN
its infancy in Polk county.
