It would connect St Johns and Whitwood Court with Linnton and provide a low fare loop using existing electric lines, boosting local commerce and taxable property over five years. ROBERT BLANDING

Union County Fair to Aim as a Record Breaker This Year
Field worker M. C. Naris reports Union County citizens join forces to make the county fair a record breaker with exhibitions by children and a major seed protection campaign for Douglas Fir crops. Extra efforts include rodent extermination over burned lands in Tillamook, seeding of 3 months for 2 000 acres, and 1 000 more acres to be planted.
