Morris Canal Deserted

Prise the fleet of commissioned boats
now doing duty on the time honored
Morris Canal Just two boats along
the whole waterway between Phillips

Twenty years 60 there were between
four and i've hundred boats IN active
operation. In the heyday of the canal
say during the seventies there were
as many as twelve hundred boats run

to destroy competition and TO acquire

WAILA


Those Pendleton people who attend
Ped the Peach Day. exercises at Free
water today saw the electric cars run
ming between F'reewater and Walla
Walla loaded to the limit every trip,
CARRYING Umatilla county people into
the Washington city for business and
recreation.
Walla Walla is playing a fast and
furious game for trade in the east end
of Umatilla county and is carrying
out from this county some of the most
excellent fruit sold under the Walla
Walla label. This is lesson for Pen
dleton.
There is no reason why this electric
line cannot be extended on to this
city, giving the people of Umatilla
county an equally good service with
this city. The cars running into Pen
dleton would be loaded just as they
are loaded running INTO Walla Walla.
Most of the country between Pendle-
ton and Freewater would be convert
ed into continuous village settlement
as it is now between Frewater and
Walla Walla.
This is something for Pendleton t"
think about-East Oregonian.

SOME RAISES ARE EXPECTED
STATE TAX COMMISSIONER WILL
MEET NEXT TUESDAY TO
REVIEW WORK..

OLYMPIA, Aug 29.-The members
sioners, who have been attending the
sessions of the various county boards
of equalization throughout the state
the past three weeks, will all return
home this week to prepare for the
meeting of the state board of equaliZa-
ton next Tuesday.
Commissioner yesterday already has
returned to Olympia and Commission
er T. D. Rockwell, who now is in Spo-
kane, will return this week. Commits
days ago, accompanied by his son, on
10 days hunting and fishing trip in
the Olympic mountains in western
jefferson and Clallam counties. They
will return by the first of the coming
week. In the meantime Secretary F
c. Morse. of the tax commission, has
completed the preparation of all the
blank forms necessary for the work
of the state board.
In the absence of complete returns
COMMISSIONER IAootOiue iCIuSOu ~
make a statement as to the work of
the various county assessors and coun-
ty boards of equalization, but it is
known that on the whole the members
of the tax commission are very well
satisfied with general taxation re-
suits. The county assessors have fol-
lowed the suggestions of the tax COM
mission for the most part in fixing
valuations, and the county boards
have approved the work of the asses
sors with minor exceptions. This year,
member of the board of equal1za'
ton for his county, ard was thus in
fol the first time. each assessor sat as
member of the board of equaliza-
ton for his county, and was thus in a
position to defend his work with his
vote as we'll as his voice.
1t is rumored about the state build
ing that those counties which make a
poor showing on timber land valua-
lions or any other special class of
property, will get raise at the hands
of the state board, but members of the
state board of equalization refuse to
have anything to say on this subject.
