ASSESSORS IN SESSION

On Tuesday, April 9th, Andrew P.
Zen, assessor of incomes for Wood
and Portage counties, was in the city
in session with all the assessors in
Wood county. He was assisted by
Dan M. Shea, of Oshkosh, and J. J..
Colignon of Green Bay. The discus
sions during the day were, howe
property should be assessed at it's
ash value or less. The sentiment
prevailed that it should be assessed at
its true cash value. Mr.. Zen stated
that in this county the following towns
were below the general average and
should be raised this season:
Arpin, Auburndale, Cary, Dexter,
Hansen, Hiles. Milladore. Port Ed
wards, Remington, Richfield, Rudolph
Saratoga and Sherry, the villages of
Auburndale. Biron and Port Edwards
and the city Of Grand Rapids.

1t is when Mr.. Thayer describes the

that distinction involved; the vigor-

led to the formation of the Progress

parties; the years before and during

are interpreted by conversations with
Roosevelt and interviews with his as

but all tending to show that he was the

the skill of a practiced writer, and

OREGON FARMERS NEED
NEWSPAPER AID SERVICE
$500, 900 Worth of Surplus Produce
Could Be Marketed Best Through
Community Press.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor.
Wallis, Aug. 25.-Oregon farmers
could market at east 100000 worth
of farm produce that now either goes
to waste or is sold as common stuff
while qualified for high class spe-
Gals, said C. j. Mcintosh, agricul-
tural press editor of the state agri-
cultural college, to the members of
the State Editorial association at As
toria, August IA.
1.-THE farmers need this service
much more than the editors need the
business Of advertising" the speaker
asserted. 1T would add not less
than 5000 profit to the average farm,
and greatly benefit the community
by supplying the best produce in the
most economical manner possible"
1t was shown that as many as eight
hahls, long and short, with double
that ndmber of landings, five com
missions, and often a few specrla-
tons, intervene between the Oregon
grower and the Oregon consumer of
potatoes. This ties up much labor,
many cars, and some good money,
causes deterioration Of the commod-
ity, and contributes to industrial un-
rest.
Editors were urged to go after the
business in order to help the farmer
market to the best advantage. Since
the average newspaper serves ESQ
farms, it should advertise $4,000
worth of stuff annually.

Of ANNEXATION
Residents of Northeast Corner of
/ Wheeler County Would Join Gill
lam County.

For a long time the residents of
the northeast orn of Wheeler
county have been considering the
matter of having their property in
cluded in Gillian county, and now
they have taken action in regard to
the matter. This is the territory in
Wheeler county known as the Ward
voting precinct, and is located in the
Lone Rock neighborhood.
Petitions to have the matter placed
on the ballot at the November cleo
ton were filed at the courthouse in
Fossil during the past week. The
petition was signed by IA voters, a
majority Of those residing in the dis
trict, and is filed under provisions of
Chapter Ten of the General Laws of
Oregon for 1918.
In all, the change would involve AZ
sections Of land, being sections 7 to
SO inclusive in Township 6, Range
"a, and sections /, 2, II, IL, l3, IA,
%, "a, rs, rs, 35, and So in Town
ship 6, Range %.
The assessed valuation OF this ter
ritory s not great, and the loss In
this respect to Wheeler county would
not be serious If the change were
made. On the other hand, people OF
the territory in question naturally
come this way, and II the change is
to their advantage and the majority
desire to make it, then not to allow
them to do so would be an injustice.
Following are the signers Of the
petition: J.. B. Huddleston, T. s. Ly-

JUDGE WILKINSON
 NOW A CANDIDATE
Qualities to Succeed Himself-No Op position Announced and None Ex-
 pected for Tenth Judgeship

Judge Horace c. Wilkinson yester-
 day qualified as candidate for judge
 shin No. 10 of the Tenth Judicial cir
 cult to succeed himself. No expedition
 to the re- election of Judge Wilkinson has appeared and it is expected that he will be chosen without an opponent.
 Judge Wilkinson, who was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge H. A. Shappe, is said to have filled the position in a satisfactory man ner and his friends contend that he is
 entitled to the nomination without
 campaign.
 Judge Wilkinson has resided in Jef- ferson county for many years, has prac- ticed law and been active in all political and civic matters for the past ten years He served during the war in the line with the Wildcat division made up ol men from this section, and upon his re turn from France was made assistant attorney general. His prosecution ant l the resulting conviction of allege, | lynchers in Baldwin county attracted | wide attention. When vacancy oc | cured on the circuit bench of Jeffer son county, Governor Kilby named Mi l Wilkinson to the place.
