WAsC oCoUNTY GROWING.

IuCrCnSC,

The Dailes, Oct. 26.-Assessor Asa
Stogsdll and his assistants, ]. b. Colt
and +. II. Angle, have completed the
assessment roll of Wasco county for
the wear 1906, and the board of equal
iZotlon has passed upon the same,
comparing the summard with the orig
inal summary now on file In the Of
flee of County Clerk Bolton and re-
mort II true and correct transcript
therefrom.
The total amount of assessable
p,operty as shown by the assessment
roll is $6,702,9G5. the largest singla
item on the list being 1862 acrei
of tillable land valued at Sl,S62,2S5.
The railway assessment amounts to
s76O.SOO on 100 miles. The county
has 11C.7t5 sheep valued ut $2O5.2Oi;
6S2i head of horses valued at $751;
G2O, and 1884 head of cattle valued
at $126,670.
Comparison with the roll OF 1905
Is very favorable to the progressive
condition of the county. An increase
of $GdO, $50 in the gross value of
taxable property Is an item wortl
mentioning, while 25,i5O additiona
acres of decided land proves that tn,
county is settling up,

FORCED TO SELL SHEEP.
Arlington Man Says He Was Not
Treated Fairly by Inspectors.

n. p. Wallace sold his band of 1000
ewes on the Washington side of the
river to Smith Bros, of eastern Kick
itat, says the Arlington Record.
The price received was 1896 per
head. Mr.. Wallace would not have
sold his sheep but could not cross
them to his range without dipping
them twice on the Washington side,
which he could not do without great
expense and loss.
Mr.. Wallace thinks he was hoo
dooed by the inspector as his sheep
were not scabby. They were after
wards inspected by the inspector of
Klickitat county who pronounced them
entirely free from scab.
Mr.. Wallace had feed secured and
all his arrangements made to winter
these sheep on his range near Arling-
ton and was virtually compelled to
sell as he did because of the action of
the government inspector, Hutchinson
of Portland.
Mr.. Wallace is now in the market
for 5000 head of lambs, which he
wants to feed and keep on the range
where he would have wintered the
ewes he sold.

FRUIT CROP WORTH S75O.OOO
Enormous Propositions of Yakima In
dustry.

1t is estimated that the fruit crop
of Yakima county for the year 1906
will bring S75O,OOO to the valley, says
the Yakima Republic. The apple
crop this year, it is claimed by con-
servative growers, was 100 per cent.
1t was the largest in the history of
the valley, and was exceeded by that
Of no other district in Amel ca. The
crop of pears and peaches, second to
apples in extent, almost equalled ap-
Piles in percentage of production.
With the acreage that has been
planted to fruit, particularly apples,
In the last two years, it is predicted
that in five years the returns to the
growers of Yakima will be 10 times
what 1t is estimated for this year. And
with the orchards that will be plant
ed in the next two years producing
fruit the crops of the valley will in
seven more years be more than II
times as much.

TEACHERS SALARIES TOO LOW.
Spokane Teachers Cannot Dress Prop
crly on Wages Paid Them.

The following from the Spokane
Chronicle concerning teachers wages
shows deplcrable condition in the
public schools OF that city. The
Chronicle says:
LOSS of some Of the best teachers in
the spokane IuL'ic s,hn"ls through
offers Of better salaries from other
northwest cities prompted the cham
her OF cor merCc yesterday to take ac-
ton toward prevailing upon the
school board to increase the present
pay Of the teachers. A motion offer
ed by Sam Glasgow, expressing the
sense of the chamber of commerce
that teachers salaries In Spokane are
too low compared with those in other
cities, and amended to- include the ap-
pCintmcnt Of a committee of three to
take the matter mp with the school
board and urge an adjustment, was
carried unanimously.
1--WE arc about TO lose two or three
of our best teachers Just now" said
Mr. Glasgow in presenting the matter.
Helena is here looking for material
for next winter and as the wages paid
in that city are better than here,
know that some of our teachers are
thinking Of accepting offers they have
received. We have already lost come
good teachers.
statistics which I have gathered
show that Spokane pays the lowest
salaries to her teachers of any town
In the northwest. Seattle pays on an
average Of $s6i n year. Butte. 5000 i;
Helena. S1050; Wallace, $S55, and
Spokane only s720. There are some
Of ou. teachers who get as low as $40
II month for the year through. Our
salaries rcr month are lower than in
any northwest city, besides our teach
crs have only nine months work
whereas in most cities they have 10
months
"T understand some of the poorly
paid teachers In the ward schools have
been discharged because their salaries
would not provide for those dependent
upon them and at the same time en-
able them to wear such clothing as
thoy should to present a good appear
ancc in the schoolroom."

NORTHWESTERN
COMING To COAST
WORKING WESTWARD. AND
SURVEYING IN IDAHO.
Crew Of Surveyors Now Working
North of BoiSc-Work on the Grade
at Lander, Wyoming. Progresses
Rapidly-North Coast Road In
Washington Thought to BE Working
Eastward to Join the Northwestern.

Surveyors for the Chicago North
western railroad are at work running
preliminary line 100 miles north OF
Boise, Idaho.
The North Coast railroad is work
ing both ways from Yakima, and its
engineers are heading for Boise.
At its annual meeting last week. the
Chicago Northwestern decided to is
sue an additional $1OO,O00,0O0 of
stock
President Hughitt, of the North
western. has denied that his road was
TO be extended to the coast. He has
not denied that the North Coast will
build west to the coast, and east to a
connection with the Northwestern.
The activity of the Northwestern
and North Coast companies in Idaho
and Washington admits only OF the
construction that they are heading for
one another. In railway circles the
North Coast has been an enigma. 1t
wns generally considered at one time
that the road was merely trying to tie
up some strategic points and routes
to unload at n favorable opportunity
on some of the big roads that would
sooner or later find use for the hold
ings.
The company was not supposed to
have any substantial backing, but II
proceeds to spend money until up to
date It has put upwards of s1,OOO,OOO
in cash in its operations. 1t is still
spending money and seems to have
ample backing.
Secures Right of Way.
Last week the North Coast signed
n contract for n right of way two miles
in length through the town of Pasco
and agreed to have grading under way
within 10 months. 1t is acquiring Its
right of way steadily. The North
western is now completed west of Lam
der, Wyo., and is rapidly pushing
westward. The officials of the COM
pany deny that they are building to
the coast, yet they offer no eXplana-
ton of where they are going to car
nv their western extension.
It is probable, however, that they
are sincere in their denial. The
Northwestern itself does not make
practice of building new lines. but II
does acquire new lines shortly after
they are built. This seems TO be the
explanation of the mystery in which
the North Coast has been surrounded

The Tbeoter
stewart Company Sunday Night.


Tomorrow night the famous Stew
art opera company will be the attrac-
ton at the Frazer theater, presenting
their great comic opera success, DOR
othy." This engagement will be with
out any doubt, one of the most i'm
portant of the seasons bookings, for
no comic opera organization now
travelling, has attained such a high
degree of prominence as the Stewart
company. The production of 'Doro-
thy" which the company carries, is
identically the same as was used dur
ing the engagement at the Broadway
theater, New York city. 1t is said to
be the most elaborate. costumically
and scenically, ever seen in the west.
The Stewart company has controlled
the light opera situation of the east
for number of years. 1t numbers
so singers, comedians and musicians
the company carrying its own orches-
ira.
Amnog the list of principals appear
the names of such prominent artists
as Mabel Day. prima donna, soprano:
William G. Stewart, baritone; Bertha
Shalek. contralto; George w. Leslie,
comedian; Carl Haydn, tenor; Bessie
Fairbairn. comedienne, and Bowman
Ralston, basso. The chorus of the
Stewart company is one of its special
features. 1t is said to be the greatest
singing ensemble of male and female
voices in support of any comic opera
1t,
The production of Dorothy" as
presented by the Stewart company,
was one of the greatest successes
among the comic operas produced at
the Broadway theater, New York city
in recent years. The book and lyrics
are by b. C. Stephenson, the music is
by Alfred Cellier. The story of the
opera is that of Dorothy Bantam, the
daughter of a wealthy English squire,
who, accompanied by her friend Lydia
Hawthorne, don peasant dresses, and
at the village inn serve the land
lords guests.
During the procedure of this frolic
there arrive at the inn, two young
sparks from London on their way to
WISH lHe squirt. Inc young .peupie
are quite unknown to each other, but
that fact does not prevent them from
falling desperately in love with one
another. That night they again meet
this time at the home of the squire
The young ladies, now attired in
their legitimate raiment are not rec
ognized by the young gentlemen as
their sweethearts of the morning, and
complications, the result of lack OF
constancy on the part of the youne
men, follow in a most amusing anG
perplexing manner. Finally, Dorothy
challenges her lover to fight a duel
and. the challenge being accepted, dis
plays arrant cowardice, thus bringing
forth a very laughable explanation
and happy ending.

THE MAN To BLAME IN SAN FRANCISCO

The hunt for the man to blame is
always interesting. 1t is usually a
long hunt! Ray Stannard Baker, one
OF the new editors of the American
Magazine. has been looking for the
man to blame in San Francisco. His
report of his hunt is included in his
article on the effect of the earthquake
and fire upon the people of San Fran
cisco. Here, it is-taken from the
American Magazine for November:
"I heard the unions abused when l
went to San Francisco! l went to see
some of the leaders. Yes they said,
we are putting up wages: but we've
got to. The landlords are all putting
up the rents; the bakers have decreas-
ed the size of the loaf; furniture is
high; living in general has gone up
So I went around to find out about
these things. Yet when one went to
see them, these landlords were as rea-
sonable as reasonable could be.
"'Ycs, we have put up your rents,
they said; we had to. The lumber
people have put up the price of lum-
bcr until ii is away out of sight; brick
and cement have gone up; wages are
frightful; you have no idea what Il
has cost us to make repairs! Besides
that, the owners of new buildings are
getting high rents. Why shouldn't
we? We've got to live!'
$50 | hurried out to see the abused
lumber dealer and the cement i'm.
porter and the brick maker. l fount
them all working energetically among
their ruins, dusty but cheerful, meet
ing the untold difficulties of trans
portation, strikes, high wages, bu
bringing in, somehow, the necessar,
commodities to the stricken city
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-10-27

They had lost everything, but they
were taking hold again with simple
bravery that somehow got a mans
heart, and they explained themselves
in way beguilingly human:
IT'S the other fellow they said;
he's put up his prices; the cost of
doing business has gone up, and don't
you see, we can't help ourselves.
We've got to live!
"How are you going to answer that i?
So went on looking with enthusiasm
for the black culprit who could be
finally blamed for this strange condi-
tion-and l could not find him. He
isn't here; there is no one class of
men who can be blamed, although be-
tween them all they have put up the
cost of building so high that they are
actually checking the work of recon-
struction.
Contractors bids are from so to so
per cent higher for the same work
than they We're before the fire, the de-
sire for private profit thus defeating
the very purpose which everyone in
San Francisco is seeking-the rapid
rebuilding of the city. And it is sig
nificant, in this connection, that those
who are not organized, who cannot
apply some sort of force to the sit
uation, are being ruthlessly crowded
to the wall.
"There is no justice here-simply
force. School teachers, unorganized
have had their salaries cut, book
keepers clerks and other (the for
gotten man of the economist) are get
ting no more than they received be-
fore the fire-some indeed less-while
hundreds have been forced into the
unskilled manual labor of brick.

Beach Il Bowers Minstrels.

The Seattle Times of Thursday
says of the Beach & Bowers minstrel
company which comes to the Frazer
on Saturday, November 3: The first
appearance in the city of Beach &
Bowers minstrels drew large crowd
of theatergoers to the Seattle theater
last night to witness the initial per-
formance of the aggregation. The
large audience had no reason to be
disappointed with the entertainment,
which easily surpasses that of many
OF her travelling minstrel companies
in humor and originality.

TWO TO GO FREE.
John Coop, Convict, Age IS, WIN
Get His Pardon.
Judge Picker and Jury Apply
for Leniency.
NOT SURE OF HIS GUILT
NeighbOrs Say Prison Does Not
Agree With Coop.
Warden Haskell Recommends
Release of Old Employe.

Two pardon applications, both from
Smith county, came before Governor
Hoch today.
One is that of John Coop, man IS
years old, who is serving a 5-year
term in the penitenuary for a statu-
tory crime. Application for a pardon
comes from Attorney Ed Sample Of
Osborne county. who sends to Cow
ernor Hoch a letter recommending the
pardon signed by R. NJ. Picker, judge:
J. T. Reed, the county attorney who
prosecuted Coop. and the following II
members of the jury which convicted
him: Elmer D. Cooke, Smith Center;
r. E. Cverton, Smith Center; w. H.
Merriam, Smith Center, C. c. Hoggen.
Smith Center; F. H. Mckenzie, Smith
Center; A. S. Engstrom, Phillips coun-
ty; w. H. Mowry. Reamsville; J. H.
Duvall, Bellaire: John Jeulin, Bellaire;
James ellis, Red Cloud; W. c. Stone.
Lebanon
The jurors say in their statement
that the evidence against Coop was
not of the most conclusive character,
and that it took them thirty hours to
reconcile all the facts and arrive at
verdict of guilty. They are of the opin-
ion that Coop will not be benefited by
a longer term of imprisonment.
There is also a long petition filed in
Coop's behalf, signed by several hun
bred farmers who lived in Coop's
neighborhood. The petition sets forth
that Coop is in very poor health, and is
likely to die in prison unless released.
The other application is for pa
role, and comes with the endorsement
of Warden w. H. Haskell Of the state
penitentiary. The man who wants re-
lease is Sam Harvey, who, on Septem-
Der 10, 1904. was convicted of kid
mapping a girl. He was sentenced to
serve from five to ten years in the pen.
The girl who was kidnapped has since
been married, and her father has sig
nif1ed his willingness that Harvey
should be paroled.
Warden Haskell states in his letter
to the Governor that he was we'll ac-
quainted with Harvey prior to the lat
ter's trouble with the law, and that
Harvey was a good worker, and was
employed on the Haskell ranch in
Smith county He says that if Harvey
is given a parole he will guarantee to
give him continuous employment, and
see that he complies with the terms
of the parole Harvey's record while
in the penitentiary is clean.
1t is likely that Governor Hoch Will
act favorably upon both of these APP
plications as they come to him with
such strong endorsements.
