Touchet valley over the o. r. & N.
that with favorable weather condi-
tions fully 500 people would have
made preparations to join the excur-
sionisus backed out at the last
minute on account Of threatening
weather.
Made Quick Run.
The excursion train pulled out of
Dayton at o'clock sharp and made
the run to Waitsburg in 80 minutes
where the seven coaches were quickly
filed by the waiting crowds. A short
stop was made at Prescott and way
stations to take passengers aboard.
The excursionists scattered on
reaching Walla Walla many coming
up town, while nearly 200 went i'm
mediately to the fair grounds to view
the exhibits before the races started.
Practically every store and place Of
day and many of the merchants, who
took holiday off to visit the fair,
were around visiting Walla Walla
merchants and business men.
Not Angry Now.
In decided contrast with the senti-
ment expressed by Waitsburg people
a few months ago in agitating the
annexation of the east end of the
county to Columbia county was the
spirit of good will toward Walla Wal
la and the fair that were heard on all
sides. Well known Waitsburg men
who were agitating the secession
movement some months ago, stated
today they believed the matter had
been dropped and there would be no
further attempt to secede to Columbia
county.

County Board Acts on Ad-

NO AUTHORITY TO INTERFERE
Tax Agent Morrow Again Makes
Proposition to Compromise
bu. Loses

Further proposals to compromise
the o. R. & N. company's taxes for
1905, made to the county board Of
commissioners yesterday, were final
ly rejected this morning when Prose-
cutting Attorney Wilson rendered an
opinion that the board has no legal
right to interfere with this years
valuations.
Tax Agent Morrow appeared before
the board yesterday and proposed
that his company pay it's 1905 taxes
on a valuation of $4,000 per mile,
provided the interest was remitted and
uations according to the figures fixed
by the state tax commission.
Attorney Wilson was asked for an
opinion which was rendered this
morning and in part is follows:
Has No Authority.
'In my judgment your board has no
jurisdiction to settle this tax matter
in the manner proposed. 1t is not a
question of the merits because it
might well be for the interests of the
county to end the matter and get the
substantial payment, but I am COM
PEELED to advise you that you have no
authority to do it.
ut may be, if the company does not
pay the tax, it would be compelled to
and bring into court such an amount
as it claimed was fair and just tax.
In that event there would be such a
controversy as would authorize your
board to settle and compromise upon
such terms as you might deem just,
but under present conditions 1 am Of
the opinion that you have no jurisdic-
ton to further interfere with this tax
or the Valuations
Pay Less Than Last Year.
On a 10 mill levy contemplated by
the county commissioners this year,
the o. r. & n. will pay on it's main
line assessments approximately $4,000
less taxes than it did last year.
In 1905 the o. r. & n. main line
was assessed at $4,000 per mile, on
TAXED 23,992.5O.
This year the company was assessed
under three classifications, which un-
der a 10 mill levy, will reduce the
company's taxes to $15,8851O as
against $23,992.5O last year.

judge by the city marshall
Bridges was on his feet in an in
stant.
81 am surprised that Mr.. Dunham
should make a motion of this kind"
he exclaimed. 81 don't see how the
council can discriminate against these
right the saloonmen whose licenses
were revoked last week, by referring
these complaints to the police judge.
1 do not see as. it is a very difficult
matter for this council to act on these
complaints. Why were the other cases
not taken into court? 1t looks to me
as if somebody is playing favorites."
William GIasford Opposes.
Glasford was opposed to referring
the cases to the court, stating that he
suggested in the first case that they
be taken before the police judge, but
as they had not he was in favor of the
council continuing the hearings.
"These cases have kept the council
in turmoil ever since the first COM
plants were filed" Glasford declared.
"If the cases are taken before the
court there will be another delay Of a
month or so before they are finally
disposed Of"
The insinuation cast by Bridges that
some one was playing favorites,
brought Dunham into the fray again.

ter to go slow and give a small
amount each year to help the fair,
otherwise it might seem to some
that too much was being given, and
so all future help would be hindered.
That a levy of one fourth of a mill
on this years valuation would bring
a return of $5345.4O for the fair this
year and yet would be so distributed
as to be burden on nobody.
Are Growing Fast.
Judge, Brents and Eugene Tausick
presented the case of the fair strong
ly. The former showed the county and
city were growing fast and now was
the critical time. because exhibits on
a large scale were being tried this
year and people could no longer COM
plain "that there was nothing but
horseracing and that in the mud"
Every cent given last ySdi iie'o OSSiA
we'll invested, but more was badly
needed now.
Mr.. Tausick said it was too bad
that most of the exhibit of the mer-
chants had to be in tents and there
should be a pavilion ample enough to
hold them ALL For this reason he
would like to see the commissioners
give as much as they possibly could
this year, even if they did not give so
much next year. Now was the time
when the money was needed.
The general opinion Of the fair d.
rectors seemed to be that a three
eighths mill levy of half way between
that of this year and last year would
be the right amount for the county to
donate.
The commissioners decided to delay
action until tomorrow in order that
they might inspect the fair This al
ternoon and see personally just what
the needs are.
