CHANGE PRECINCT LINES.

Changes in precinct lines In the
valley will probably be made by the
county commissioners as Il result OF
the change in the boundaries of com
missioners districts made last spring.
Heretofore, on account of the river
being the division line between the
commissioners districts, it was neces-
sury to have separate voting pre-
clncts on each side of the river at
Oroville, Tonasket, Riverside, Omak
and Okanogan. ....
The precincts are now all in the
same commissioners districts, remov
ing the necessity of separation in or
der to participate in the nomination
Of commissioners.
The law places limit on the mum
Der of voters in precinct and 1t II
probable that the commissioners viii
| still find ii necessary to establish TIVE
precincts at Oroville, Tonasket, Omal
and Okanogan, but one precinct cal
be eliminated at Oroville, Riversid
and Okanogan. Two precincts will
still be necessary at MalOtt and Mons
as the river continues as dlvidin
line between commissioners district
/ and . at those points.
Okanogan precincts l and 2 are nov

farmers. fine college having f.. nished

variety raised this year by the col
lege, however, is reserved for plant
ing to develop a larger quantity for
further distribution next fall.
The na ne, ''Ridit', is made up OF
the initia' letters of the Latin words

rid as a red, beardless, hard, smut

the college was also given directions
as to planting, harvesting "m' Tnresh
ing, which they agreed to follow ant

of wheat grown on the same farm

TOMATO CROP HARVESTED AND
cANNERY ENDS VERY SUc-

The Oroville cannery completed a
very successful season run and closed
Saturday night, with an output for
the season of 1920 cases or IA cars.
The total output for the season was
practically the same as that OF last
year although the cannery operated a
week later this fall.
The last week the tomatoes came
In very slowly. The vines were fin
ally killed by frost on Tuesday night
of this week. The cannery was In
operation about 40 days.
The Powell Sanders company OF

ARE AFTER INCOME TAX
FROM REAL ESTATE SALES.

Investigations conducted by field
deputies of the internal revenue SER
vice indicate that hundreds of tax
payers in the district of Washington
have neglected, Intentionally or other
wise, to include as income in their re-
turns for 1920, 1921 and 1922, profits
realized from the sale Of real estate,
according to Collector Burns Poe, who
several weeks ago ordered a rigid
probe to be made of suspected evas-
ions of income regulations.
In order to close up the government
tax net the collector has ordered that
a transcript be made of all doubtful
transfers. A careful investigation will
be made of all Of these filed, to deter
mine whether or not the sales invOlv-
/: ed have been reported upon the In
come tax returns. Collector Poe has
suggested that all persons who failed
to include the profit realized from
real estate sales call at his office or
| file amended returns, as it is the pol
| icy of the revenue department not
to assess heavy penalties when the
disclosures Of failure to include In
come from this source are voluntarily
made by taxpayers.
| sit is my belief that the failure OF
|many tax payers to include real estate
profits in their returns was due to
erroneous Interpretation Of the In
come tax laws, and to misleading
publicity that was given out prior to
the ruling of the United States Su'
preme court, which held that such
gains were taxable incomes under the
revenue laws" Collector Poe stated.
In cases where the taxpayer does
not voluntarily disclose items of income
2 that were omitted, and where the
gains from real estate sales have no
been reported, the collector said tina
e it would be necessary to assert ful
l penalties from all returns where th'
: investigation disclosed the failure o
the taxpayer to include real estat
I gains in his income tax returns.

LONGEST AUTOMOBILE PARADE

Olympia, October 25, after the conclu-
sion of the meeting of the Washington
Good Roads association, to go to Sa-
lem, Oregon, in celebration Of the
completion of the paving of 700 miles
of the Pacific highway, will be the
longest automobile parade ever held If
the weather is not prohibitive.
The parade VIII be longest both
in point of distance Travelled and In
| the length of the caravan. As the
automobiles while travelling on the
highway, will be spaced 100 feet
apart by the highway patrol, which
under Director NJ. L. McArdle will be
in direct control of the parade, it will
be seen that no more than 800 ma
chimes leave Olympia the parade wi
he ten miles long. Some of the smaller
cities along the highway promis'
i 100 machines in line and it is predict
ed that fully 1000 additional ma
chimes will join the parade by tn
, time it reaches the interstate bridg
, at Vancouver. 1t Is easily possibl
r that the auto parade will be NOR
than twenty miles in length by tn
q time it enters Portland.
