Tka calm that follow* a norm will ha a sweat interlude to what we have keen enjoying la weather. The rural mail carriers braved the flood and overcame many handicaps as they delivered mall on the routes out of the local poet office Been though many of the roads were closed, the carriers fulfilled their task and didn't miss a box. One carrier drove 17-miles out of his way to deliver mail to one patron. That is wonderful publie service. o o The current flood brought the question: "How high was the river la IM3T” The correct answer Isn't available, because at that time no official measurement was made of the stream From new* paper files of March 2« to U. ISI3, one arrive* at an unofficial river stage of 33 33 feet, but "flood ex pert*" say the river reached a 25foot crest before it receded. With yesterday’s measurement of more* than 22-feei, the muddy sttfxai was.at least within a couple feet <)f the alFtitne- record and that is ' ■ ' •••- t-o —o • Added to al! of its troubles from the flood, Portland suffered a rnrgedy irtrFn an rxpinFtnn occur red in an uptown restaurant, killing two.persons and a third dying from shock The town was isolat- • edr- because of JiUk. an<l. many of the stores- had' to close because basements and first floors w« re flooded Then • aihs» the ex plosion probably from sewer gas. wjiteh rEiinted human life Tn usual i rmalways bring, more us .the ..and in • Portland « ease tale at nick a . ■ , , o— —-o Th? 2 7 increase‘in as sealed valuations of reai estab and irnpr<-\ *-nurr- in II of the 12 towrudtins' tn the county reflect* the big Jn< ro.i-e. that h<i- b«-*.n iha * s‘’in. recent yWfi* Nearly all of thia gain is shown in improveinents on real estate which includes new byildirgs and additions.

Churchill bus sprung a new to■ue in the British election campaign. which seems to be quoted very frequently in the Coiled States. The former Premier and leader of the Conservatives, advo cates a meeting with President Truman. Stalin and the British Premier who will be named following the February 23 election. From our point of view, such a meeting would not produce any better understanding than now exists between Russia and the United States. Stalin is bulk headed and does not give a point. It is probable that any conference would end In dissension. We believe Mr. Truman took the right position about these Big Three confabs immediately after the Potsdam conference, when be was quoted as saying, that If there were another round-table discus sioa, it would take place in the White House Stick to that decision.

They note the history of the land in the abstract, and search for such- discrepeeelea as delinquent taxes, mechanic's liens, street or sewerage assessments and other such items that would nullify the value of the abstract. These things are then noted, or. should it warrant it, a clear title Is given; in either instance, the person has a ciear picture Os tbe situation and know* Just What he is getting. Tbe abstract shows the chain of titles of a particular piece of land dating back to the original patent the original deed from the federal government. The clerks from the abstract offices merely check on the past history of the land, and then add the current i history ; and so it goes. And the history contained in the abstracts can pretty well show the history of the people -the time*, the condition*, the wealth, poverty ; and even domestic «trife of the i families down through the years.
