The report of the auditors on the f.
nancial condition of the town for the
year ending Feb. 16. 1907, has arrived
341.43 of the old Indebtedness of
the town has been paid. This sum
is made up of the John Fisk
order for $2,S31 AZ, the order to ]. c.
Robinson for $1,000, and one $500 bond.
This will make material decrease in
the interest to be paid another year, as
the bond drew 4 per cent, the Fisk order
4h per cent. and the Robinson order
per cent. The total liabilities for the
year 1907 are 9,0S2.14 as against S43,-
0O653 for the year 1906, making a net
reduction of S292439, although to this
sum should be added S155G64 making a
total reduction of S542S.03. This sum
which was not included in last years
liabilities, nor has it been for several
years back, owing to an oversight, but
the account is included this year
The cash on hand at the end of the
year amounts to $2325.S1. This is made
up of Sl96437 in the general fund, 500 6S
in the road fund and s291.76 in the
school fund. The total expense for the
poor for the year was $1O16.5O, of the
schools is S2179.24. There was S1126.91
expended for general highway purposes
and S6l6.S5 on the permanent road.
Seven new bridges were built and re-
paired at a total cost of $323.62. The
expense of the town officers was $675.-
"a; 5000 was received for dog licenses
and $3.50 paid out for sheep damage;
there are $607.14 unCollected taxes and of
this amount $56O.69 is on the 1906 tax.

SALOME IS BARRED.
NEW YORK SOCIETY FROWNS
ON THE SACRED OPERA.
Interview From tho Author Is Of In
terest to Pendleton People Since
the Opera May Be Seen Here in
the Future-Ant1tor Analyses the
Objections to His Great Production.

That Pendleton theatergoers may
have an opportunity to see the great
opera, "Salome," by Strauss, which is
now under the ban in New York, be-
cause of its alleged immortality, is one
of the very certain probabilities OF
the future.
For that reason the following in
terview from the author of "Salome."
concerning its Objectionable features,
is of interest to the readers of the
East Oregonian. The interview is from
the New York World, and is as fol-
Rows:
Your correspondent had pro-
longed interview with Richard Strauss
this morning concerning the attempt
to stop the presentation OF his opera,
''Salome," in New York. The great
composer said:
'-I am amazed at the noise in New
morality, but irritated I am not, as I
know of nothing of the arguments
used by the objectors. They may
have advanced some point of view
which I had not considered. I want
to know what immortality, what are
its boundaries and what is the rela-
ton of art to morals as variousiy con-
ceived by various men at various
times In general mankind's ideas
of morality are indefinite.
There are probably two classes OF
persons in New York who find 'Sa-
lone immoral, those whose own
lives, especially their secret lives, are
not above reproach, men and women
whose minds dwell on prurient things,
who have sounded in their thoughts
all that is morally base. The other
class of objectors is largely represent
ed in the United States and England.
They are the enemies of all dramatic
treatment of any Biblical story or
legend.
"Saint-Saens' Samson and Deli
lah' is for these people immoral; so
are all mystery and passion plays.
With these two classes of objectors It
is needless to argue. Their world is
not mine, their reasoning is not mine.
"As to the average man who has
seen 'Salome' and objects to IT, II
there be such why does he accept
Don JUAN Figaro Carmen and a
host of other operas which might from
his point of view, be really regarded
as immoral, and boggle at 'Salome p
There is such a thing in morals, as in
other matters, as swallowing a camel
and straining at a gnat. That man
or woman who has clean hands, a
pure heart and a spotless conscience
can regard 'Salome' and all similar
art without disfavor or prejudice. It
is for this class that all true artists
labor, not for men and women vitiated
by their own evil lives or bigoted be-
yond redemption"
