TO REDUCE BONDS
or the DISTRICT,
A 16-Mill Tax Voted at School
Meeting Monday.

For the third successive year, a fifteen
mill school tax was voted without oppo-
sition at the school meeting Monday.
The 15-mill tax on the assessed ~
uation Of property in the district, winch is
$2S9, 9,S00.17, amounts to S4,347. 80, which
added to the estimated state and county
appropriation of $2,146, gives total of
$6, 6,493.50. The estimated expense of
operating the school for the year iB
placed at $5,5Sl, which will leave q
balance on hand sutiicie Mt to reduce the
outstanding bonded indebtedness OF
$1,000 down to $4,000. II is the inten.
ton if possible to take up the present
$1,000 bonds which are drawing Z per
cent interest, and issue new bonds TO:
$4,000 at 6 per cent interest.
The present bonds have been running
for period OF eleven years, and were
issued for 40 years, but in the opinion
of several the contract contains a clause
whereby the district may redeem then
any time after ten years have elapsed
II this is found to be the case, new
bonds at 6 per cent will be issued, ant
$1,000 paid on the principal, making |
saving of $3.50 per year to the district ii
interest.
There was not word of opposition ts
the leyyof the 15-miIl tax. Some OF the
principal property owners and tax pay
ers Of the district were present at the
meeting, Hon. 7. j. Kirk making the
motion fayoring the tax. It was un-
animously carried. the taxpayers evi

to make every effort to reduce the IN.

are good.

Goes to Sandwich Islands.

Rev. W. T.. Potwine, who goes to the
Sandwich Islands the coming spring to
take charge Of one Of the most impor-
tant Episcopal churches in the islands.
has been rector of the Church Of the
Redeemer 10 Pendleton for the past ~
years, says the East 0regonian, and has
never held another charge in the min
istry, having come direct to this charge
from the divinity school. Rev. Potwine
has seen Pendleton and his church grow
from small beginnings, and the present
excellent condition Of the Church Of the
Redeemer is a fitting tribute to the
ability, zeal and energy Of its pioneer
rector.

"AND NOW THEY wAlL."
Says the Guide Newspaper Of Its
PendIeton Contemporaries.

Our contemporaries, both morning
and evening, are wailing, railiug aud
tearing things up by the roots because
the people Of Pendleton went to rab-
bit slaughter and got soaked to the tune
Of as cents for lunch and 80 cents for
ride on hay wagon. Surely the people
at Echo had right to turn the tables
on Pendleton once. The boom our
esteemed contemporaries gave the street
carnival fake last f.ll that brought
people here from Echo and ali over the
country, 10 yet fresh and green ID the
minds Of nearly everybody. The Guide
was the only paper 10 Pendleton that
absolutely refused to advertise the fake.
Then there has been some historical
Fourth Of July celebrations which -have
been advertised with view only Of
bringing 10 the city large number of
country people, without anything to
offer them but the hot sidewalks and
sun baths. Those people would have
felt lucky II they had got Of for seventy
five cents.
I'll IL unbecoming TO "holler" 90 loud
about little soak from the country
people. -Pendlaton Guide.

Secure First National Bank.

A chattel mortgage was filed Saturday
afternoon in the Office of the county
recorder by G. w. and A. Rugg, known
as the firm Of Rugg Brothers, in favor
of the First National bank of Pendleton,
by which they secure to the bank the
payment Of $5l. 900 given them by the
bank on notes ranging from $4,000 to
81 900. The mortgage calls for one
dollar on its face, but is given to cover
the notes which are affixed to the instru.
ment.
The instrument gives as security fol

thousand head Of sheep, cattle, farm
implements, camp wagons and outfits

A BIG DEMAND FOR
DRY ALFALFA SEED.
Great Interest In 1t and Many
Orders Filed.

T. G. Taylor of Pendleton has been
doing big business in the dry alfalfa
seed line for some time, says TIE East
Oregonian, and has scld out his original
package of seed and sent back fcr an
other lot of 1000 pounds. A great
many farmers and ranchmen are becom-
ing interested in the growth Of the new
species Of the alfalfa, and are going 10
try and make it grow on their land. II
it is success in the small patches that
are put in, large fields will be seeded,
and in short time great proportion
of the land of the county that is now
practically unproductive will be made a
pasture and hay field.
A few of those who have bought seed
for a trial are: Gid Brown OF Havana
40 pounds; HI. j. Taylor, Fulton, 200
E. B. Gambee, Camas, 10; Henry Scales
Pendleton, 100; Charles White, Bircl
creek, 100; G. s. Wheeler, Pendleton
15; Lyman and Sons, Cheney dairy, so
Tom Milarkey, 100.
A great many others have also invest
ed in the new seed but no record o
them has been kept. The ones givel
are those who have ordered and who's,
names have been taken owing to TIN
fact that the seed is not now on hand.

THE FLAT FLOODED.
High Water Leaves Its Mark at
ellis, Lumber Yard.

Sunday, shortly before noon, the
Press man was informed over the
phone by the irrepressible Jerry Swart,
that an item was Floating around" in
the vicinity Of the o. r. & N. depot.
Investigation proved that the item in
question was sure enough "foater."
Saturday nights chinook and warm
rain had melted the snow in the fields
for ten miles up the fiat, and the water
came with rush on Gillis' lumber yard
in quantities larger than the proprietor
desired to see. The yard was complete
ly flooded and for time the sidewalk
in some places was inundated. No ma
terial damage resulted, save the wetting
of the bottom layers Of boards in the
huge lumber piles and the unceremon-
ious baptism Of Sam Bcoher's pet dog.

Taylor for Cashier.

There was strong probability that
7. @. Taylor, Of Fendleton, would be the
next cashier Of the First National Bank
of that city. The matter, says PEN
dleton paper, has been talked over by
those interested, and it was the unani-
nous desire Of the local directors and
stockholders and all of the depositors
who have spoken of the matter, that
Mr.. Taylor be given the Office.
Mr. Taylor has decided to refuse the
offer of the board OF directors Of the
bank in which he was called TO gil the
place Of cashier in place Of @. B. Wade,
resigned. G. M. Rice, cashier Of the
Columbia National Bank of Dayton, a
very prosperous institution, has been
rendered the cashiership ri the First
National, and it is understood that be

LESS TAXES NEXT YEAR.
County Court Makes Levy for 1904
Twenty Mills.

h -
1.-THE state this year demands Of Una.
tilla county SCOOPS in taxes, and but
for this heavy demand the county court
would have been able to levy total tsx
of only II $40 mills, instead Of the 20
mill tax which was levied
The members OF theE county court,
says the Tribune, had been contemplate
ing all year that they would be able to
greatly reduce the tax levy for the year
1904. They figured closely on the run
ming expenses of the county and decided
that levy of IL $40 mills would be
amply sufficient. But when the state
demand was made they found that it
could not be done and pay all running
expenses, SO rather than to run behind
at the end Of the year they decidedI 1T
would be best to make the levy suifici-
ent to meet all the running expenses
and pay the county's apportionment of
the state tax. And to do this it was
necessary to make levy of 20 mills.
Last year Umatlla county's appor-
| tionment Of the state tax was only $37,-
240, while this year it is almost twice
that amount SCOOPS. Had the de-
mands Of the state been what they were
last year Umatilla's levy would have
been cut almost in two by the county
curt Tuesday. Last year the levy was
28 mills and this year it is only ~
which is big reduction and one thai
will be appreciated BY every taxpayer in
the county. The county is now running
with warrants at par and many OF the
| old issues being redeemed.
To meet the excessive demandsof the
the state on the county the court found
it would be necessary to increase the
tax levy by 2 210 mills, for state pur-
poses alone, while the levy for county
/ purposes was reduced more than 1t
/ mills.
The tax levy OF 20 mills is divided az
follows: etate, 6 10 mills; school fund
41-10 mills; road tax, LILO OF mill; foI
the general fund, $40 mills.

FOR BUTTER CREEK
RESERVOIR PROJECT IS
PRACTICABLE.
Government Operation In
Umatilla County Now
Seem Assured.

Chief Engineer Newell, Of the reclaim
alton service, has made public the re-
port Of Engineer Whistler, who wac in
charge Of the investigation Of the feast
bility and advisability OF government
irrigation near Echo. He pronounces
the project Of diverting the water from
the Umatilla river below Pendleton to
irrigate the Butter creek region, pos
sible. He also recommends the adop-
tion OF the Malhuer river and Harney
county projects. Newell's report shows
that at the close Of the present fiscal
year there will be s24 4,OUO.OOO available
for the reclamation Of arid lands. The
Arizona and Nevada projects, which are
now under contract, win use about
$6,000,OO0 Of this sum, leaving Sls,.
900 200 to be used In other states.
Part OF TINS ali 1t wilI pcobably be
used on the reclamation work in 4prths
ern Montana in diverting the waters IL
Milk river.
There has been much uncertainty as
TO the nature OF Whistler's report on
the Echo irrigation project. The fact,
Gays the East Oregonian, that be has
reported favorably upon II will probably
result in the government constructing
the ditch. The Importance OF striking
while The iron is hot needs emphasizing.
! Our representatives in congress should
see that no stone Is left unturned to
have the government take up the work.
II will not only result in giving large
number Of men work whose money will
be spent in this county and make times
4 good, but it viii result in far larger
measure Of good. v hen the ditch is
completed the vast stretches Of unpro-
ductive sage brush land will be divided
into small tracts Of 20 TO 40 acres and
| will furnish homes for hundreds of
thrifty and industrious fsrmers Tho
sage brush land is rich and with shs
iife-giyiDg and viyifying water viii
yield rich returns to tbe issiners
Melons, corn, alfalfa, peaches viii aii
thrive there.
Nature has richly endowed this sec
tion both in soil and climate, and with
irrigation it will prove equal to the irri-
gated lands near Boise or Lewialon.
Lands which could be formerly pur.
chased for . few dollars an acre there
ere valued at $3.50 an acre.
No further proof Of the richness og
the soil is needed than the fact that
from five to seven tons Of alfalfa is now
raised with one thorough flooding on
Butter creek.
Another advantage Of government
ownership OF irrigation projects is that
il 1T 10 decided to carry il on IL will b
carried to successful issue. There
will be no uncertainty as to the compile
tion OF the project, no fears Of abandon
ment and no extortionate charges fo
water, as there il too apt to be whel
some grasping individual or compan,

1t win take some years TO complete
but II means an influx Of a thrifty ant

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
In Two Cases the Decision Of the
Lower Court Is Reversed.

Lee Moorehouse, the deputy clerk OF
the supreme court, has received couple
OF opinions rendered in Eastern Oregon
cases by the supreme court.
One OF these is in the appeal brought
by the La Grande Investment Company
vs.. F. L. Shaw, respondent. The case
has beer before the supreme court be-
fore when the judgment OF the lower
court was affirmed, but owing to an
error claimed it was givena rehearing,
and in the present opinion by Justice
Wolverton the former opinion was va
Gated and the judgment OF the lower
court was reversed. 1t lis case brought
as the result Of trouble over some min
ing claims in Baker county.
The second case was that OF the State
Of Oregon, respondent, VS.. Woodson
Gray, jointly indicted with Wade Gray,
appellant. 1t is an appeal from the
court Of Judge Robert Eakin, of Union
county, and was brought by the ap-
pellant, who had been indicted for the
murder Of A. M. Hallgarth on March
20, 1903, and on his trial being held be
was convicted Of manslaughter, but his
partner was acquitted.
The appellant and his son had some
trouble with the man HalIgarth and a
fight sprang up. In the scuffle Hall
garth was shot. The defendant cIfimed
seIf.defense, but was convicted. The
supreme court now reverses the iudg-
ment OF the circuit court, and opens the
case to such further action as may not
be contrary with the opinion, which was
handed down by Justice Wolverton.
