afternoon to discuss the adyisabiIitv
of having an increased annronriation

the investigation of water suppIv and
in making a topographic survey Of
the state.
The last legislature appropriated
the sum of $4,000 for this work, and
the federal government set aside a

with the state.
Mr.. Barnard smoke enthusiastically
of the need of further topogra phic
work in the state of Oregon. over
five-sixths of the area of the state is
absolutely untouched bv tonogro,,bio

And there is sufficient available
water to reclaim much of this arid
land, and the power that may be de-
veloped on the western slopes of the
Cascades is almost incalculable.
But in order to reclaim this land
and develop the water powers it is
necessary that maps be made Of the
land to be reclaimed and the streams
that will furnish the water must be

-Taxes VIII BE Higher.

AS a Consequence 0s--.he >nooo Last
spring and the present high water
over the county, 1t Is inevitable that
the tax levy next year will be higher
than this. According to Assessor c..
p. Strain, the county has expended
100000 on roads and bridges since
the May flood and It will require at
least six mills higher levy than last
year. The county tax at present is
90 mills. Also there is a probability
of a higher city levy next year,
should the charter be changed so as
to permit of the same. In order to
meet the expenses of levee repairs
and street work the limit of indebted
ness will have to be extended, higher
taxes levied or else additional bonds
sold

waters of the Umatilla that stream
