Warning Is Issued
To Truck Operators
For Hire Carriers Must Have Per
mits In Possession, State
Man Says

Tightening up on the restrictions
pertaining to licenses provided IN
the 1882 state trucking law, the
state department of public works
has ordered that truckers must have
in their possession "for hire" per-
mits or cease operating immedl-
ately, if they come under the for
hire" classification.
Announcement of the depart
ment's order was made at Omak this
week by H. P. Conner, public works
representative. He explained that
operators who applied for their per-
mits before October l may continue
to operate.
Included in this group, according
to the text of the law, are "all per-
sons other than certified carriers
and contract haulers, engaged in
the business of transporting prop
erty by motor vehicle for compen-
sation outside of city or town limits.
Said Farmers Exempt
When the question arose as to
whether farmers and orchardistS
who hauled their neighbors' pro-
ducCS TO market Tor pay were re-
quired to secure ''for hire" permits,
E. K. Murray, director of the public
works department, said year ago:
cit is the departments opinion
that where one farmer hauls the
products of another to market, and
such hauling is only occasional or
casual and for short period, and
more as an accommodation than as
a business, that this is permissible
under the law. It does not con-
stitute the person doing such haul
ing "for hire carrier" Such a
person cannot, in the departments
opinion, be classified as engaged in
the business" of hauling for COM
pensation, even though he may re-
ceive some incidental compensation
in connection Herewith"

Financing Talked
At Teachers Meet
Main Speakers At Annual Insti.
tute Stress Need For
Adequate Funds

Addressed by speakers who
stressed the Importance of various
phases of education, including prin-
cipally the need for an adequate
and permanent financing system
and forward looking educational
program on the part of the in
structors, teachers of Okanogan
county gathered Saturday at Okla
hogan at their annual fall institute.
Between Its and 200 members Of
county teaching staffs attended the
day-long meeting in the Okanogan
high school gymnasium. They re-
presented practically every school in
the county, the annual sessions be-
ing considered one of the most
important teachers gatherings Of
the year.
Hear DR.. Mcconnell
Following an informal reception
held between o'clock and $50
Saturday morning, DR.. Robert G..
Mcconnell, president of the Ellens-
burg normal school, informed
teachers that rapidly changing con-
ditions generally require that the
educational outlook be altered.
Pointing to the sweeping effect
inventions of the last quarter
century have had on the home,
social and business life of !. people
today, Dr. Mcconnell declared that
schools must meet these new con-
ditions and fit students for lives
fitted to present conditions.
Twenty-Five per cent of the peo-
pie today are employed In occupa-
tons unknown 20 years ago, he
said. Marked advances have been
made in electricity and its uses.
Business conditions and methods
have been greatly altered, especial
ly during the last 10 months.
Cites Many Changes
Referring to this change, DR.. Nc
Connell said:
"The government has established
great public works system. 1t has
obtained control over banks and
money, business and industry. It
has installed a system Of codes,
some of them working and some
failing to function: The CCC and
the RFC have appeared, j. and new
bureaus, new departments in state
and federal governments have been
established. The trend is from in
dividualistic economy to collective
or 'socialistic' economy
How can the schools meet these
new conditions? It is their pur-
pose to train individuals to be
socially competent"

COUNTY BUDGET
OFF BALANCE;
COSTS TOO HIGH
Commissioners Must Slash $780,
600 Off Expenses Or Find
New Revenue
Estimates Are Set
Total Costs Mount To $ll6, $50,
Plus $780, 800 School
Fund
Estimates Are Set

A budget balancing problem which
involves $4,000 slash in estimated
county expenses if the disburse-
met last week to consider the new
the expected revenue total, faced
county commissioners when they
met Tuesday to consider the new
budget.
Tentative budgets submitted by
the various county officers carry a
total of $116,759 for 1885 operating
expenses and salaries. To this must
be added school fund totaling
$39, 1866, figure based by state law
on five cents per pupil day attend
ance, the county's share Of school
costs
Figure Out Revenues
On the revenue side of the books
is the tax income item of $4,000,
the amount raisable on the county's
assessed valuation under the 40
mill limit. law which restricts the
county levy to 10 mills. Estimated
receipts from county offices would
boost the revenue total about $25, 900
increasing the entire revenue to ap-
proximately Sis, 900, something over
$4,000 less than the tentative bud
get of expenses.
The commissioners adjourned
their meeting Wednesday with no
definite plan outlined for balancing
the budget. They planned to con-
vene again this week to con-
tinue work on the budget. One of
the commissioners said it would
take, a Moses to Lead them out of
the present financial tangle.
Must Cut Corners
Marked reductions in most of the
tentative budgets submitted by the
county officials are almost certain
to be made, the commissioners de-
clared, and stated that it might be
necessary to entirely eliminate some
of the offices not absolutely essen
tial in carrying on the courty's
business.
The tentative budget, not includ-
ing the school fund, exceeds by S.
300 the amount approved in last
years budget. The complete list of
budget items, including the 1884
figures and 1885 estimates, follows:

CATTLE FROM DROUGHT AREAS
SENT TO COLVILLE TRIBESMEN
Four Hundred Head To Be Dis
tributed Among Indians
On Reservation
Easy Payment Plan
Recipients Give One Yearling Calf
Within Three Years For

Four hundred head of Hereford
cattle, the first lot to be sent here
from drought-stricken areas in the
Midwest, were scheduled to arrive
at the agency the first of this week.
They will be distributed to Indians
from when applications now are be-
ing received.
G. A. Newell, agricultural extern
sion agent for the reservation,
stated that the cattle will be dis
tributed only to Indian farmers
who can show that they will have
an adequate supply of feed to care
for them during the winter months.
The shipment will be divided be-
tween the Omak and Nespelem dis
tricts.

Under the plan announced by
Mr.. Newell, Indians whose applica-
tlons are approved may pay for the
cattle by turning back one yearling

A large beauti- fully decorated tree filled one cor ner and cedar boughs spelled out the words Merry Xmas" on the farther wall. Garlands, w"eaths
 bells, and tinsel were used between lights, etc., to make a false ceiling in the room. All in all it made a beautiful setting.
