Because the state tax law is now
tangled skein with the date OF un-
raveling uncertain. Assessor C. P.
Strain is perplexed official and there
are others who are also wondering
where We will be II the supreme
court upholds Judge Galloway's de-
cision.
At present Mr.. Strain is engaged in
making up the assessment roll, but
owing to the uncertainty concerning
the law Is leaving the valuations off
the roll so that he may fill them In
after the present controversy has been
settled. BY so doing he will protect
this county against paying more than
its just share Of the state tax.
Ask for Early Decision.
Because Of the confusion growing
out of the tax muddle there is a
great desire to have the supreme
court act promptly on the Yamhill
county case and It is probable that
the court will be asked to advance
the case on the calendar. This line
OF action is advocated by DR.. C. ].
Smith, who as state senator from this
county, is endeavoring to help
straighten the tax tangle.
According to Mr.. Strain there will
be no state tax law and simply no
basis whatever for raising state rev.
enues II the Galloway decision is af-
firmed. Consequently II is very i'm
portant that the supreme court pass
upon the case before the legislature
meets.
But even then there will be diff
Guilty for the state tax must be ap-
portioned by the first week in jan
uary so that the county courts can
make their levies. This being the
case the legislature could not enact a
new law in time to meet the exigency
and II may prove that a special ses-
sion will have to be called by the gov
ernor in order to pass a law in the
required time. This is on the assump-
tion that the Galloway decision will
be sustained.
Should the Galloway decision be
upheld It will then be up to Multi
nomah, Umatilla and other counties
now on a full valuation, to force the
remainder of the counties Of the state
to follow their lead.
Under the law II is mandatory that
each county shall assess Its property
at the actual valuation and the MEM
bers of the board OF equalization are
required to take oath that they will
do so. But this pledge has not been
observed by most of the counties.
That being the case an injustice
would be worked upon those obeying
the law, II Judge Galloway is sustain
ed, for those counties would be re-
quired to pay the specified levy on
full valuation. while the recreant
counties pay the same levy on a frac-
tional valuation.
Strain Is Watching.
In order to protect this county,
Strain says he will keep in close
touch with the Multnomah people and
the situation in general BY leaving
the amounts off the assessment roll
for the time being he will be able
to make the assessment at the actual
valuation or a fractional valuation,
according to what is done In the re-
mainder of the state. But he does not
wish to abandon the plan of assessing
property at the actual valuation, for
such is required by law and the
change has already been made here.
PendletOn Is Interested.
Furthermore. II he Is compelled to
go back to the old basis Of assessment
there will be trouble In store for the

The repeated statements Of travel
ing men who make" all the north
west cities, that Pendleton is still the
best town Of her size in the north
west, is encouraging to Pendleton
business men and property owners
and is stimulating many Of them to
make renewed efforts to build up the
town and increase the population of
the county.
There never was a time in the his
tory Of the city when united, harmo-
nious, aggressive action was needed as
much as now and II this kind of ac-
tion characterizes the city during the
next two or three years, those who
have looked for 1t to die, will be
startled to note the excellent pro-
gress that will have been made. ~
There are more really big things
ahead Of Pendleton and within her
grasp today than ever before, If she
will only take hold of her opportu-
mites with vim.
The law permitting state institu-
tions to be located away from the
state capital, will give Pendleton O
branch insane asylum to accommodate
from 500 TO 500 patients, If she tries
for it. 1t win require three years to
locate the branch here, under the law
as it Is.
II the asylum bill is introduced In
the legislature at the coming session
Of the legislature, 1t must pass by q
two-thirds vote and then be referred
to the people under the referendum
1t could not be voted on before tho
state election in November, 1910, and
then If 1t was passed by the people,
1t would be ready for construction.
Pendleton Is in position to secure
this institution If the Commercial as
sociation will get behind the Umatil-
la county delegation and will take
the matter in hand now. The associa-
ton should begin now to lay plans
for the asylum.
Electric Lines Coming.
1t is absolutely certain that a sys-
tenn of electric car lines will be start
ed out of this city within the next
year or so, If the citizens show any
disposition to encourage such. Capt.
tai is looking toward this rich coun-
ty and Pendleton being the trading,
banking and industrial center will be
the hub and central point for any sys-
tenn which is installed.
But to secure this will require
united, energetic work. The Com
mercial association can help this along
by investigating the traffic possibili-
ties of the county and making reports
upon them for the benefit of capital
New Houses Needed.
When the schools Of the city open
next September, there will not be half
enough good houses to rent to those
who will come here for schools. AL
though there are a number of vacant
houses now, yet II is impossible to
secure good, large houses to accom-
modate big family. Pendleton alb

WANT FUNERALS HELD AT NIGH
Alton Ministers Unanimously Declare
I'm Favor of Plan.

Alton, Ill.-Funerals at night. are
the newest idea in Alton. Thirty
members of the Ministerial Alliance
in session here unanimously indorsed
the idea is advanced by Rev. F. s.
Eitelgeorge, pastor of the Henry
street German Methodist church.
1T would be much better to have
funerals at night" he said, "and
there should be no Sunday funerals,
either day or night. Funerals nova
days are too extravagant. Too much
money is spent for flowers and car
riages, and there is entirely too much
display. From an extremely solemn
function the funeral has developed
into an occasion for vulgar show"
Mr.. Eitelgeorge also said there
should be radical reform in the fu-
neral sermons. He thinks there is
too much promiscuous eulogizing
"The safe thing to do would be to
preach a gospel Sermon" he said. ~

Despite her family responsibility
which the police say she discharged
with exemplary devotion, Madame
Sallay found time to head a band of
burglars and sneak thieves. She also
taught boys and girls the gentle arts
of picking pockets and shoplifting.
In all these industries she amassed
quite a fortune her possessions in

Idaho Reclamation Project.
/ an Idaho, construction is under
way on a large system which will irri-
gate $4,000 acres of lands on the Fort
Hall reservation, and 10000 acres OF
lands Immediately tributary to Po-
catello, belonging to white settlers
Since the thriving town of Pocatello
has no cultivated lands adjacent to
the city the citizens are interested in
this project, which will involve an
outlay OF approximately $750,000.

twas the former Uintah reservation,
in Utah, where the government Is ex-
pending a special appropriation of
10000 in building extensive sys-
tens for the irrigation Of the allot-
ments of the Uncompahgre, Uintah
and White River Utes. Here also a
large area of land is supplied with ir-
rigation facilities, large portion of
which may be leased for 10-year pc
riods on most favorable terms.

SHOULD NOT INTERMARRY.
Rabbi Koch Opposes Unions of jew,
and Gcntiles.

Seattle -"Intermarriag be-
tween the Jew and the members OF
other denominations is race suicide"
was the statement OF Rabbi Samuel
Koch of Temple de Hirsch Sunday
when asked his opinion of the posi-
tion taken by the Rev. Emil Hirsch
of Chicago Sunday that intermarriage
was not Objectionable. "There is no
logic in the argument that two people
of different faiths are as harmonious
as those reared in the same religious
atmosphere, and the offspring OF such
marriages do not come into their
rightful heritage. With the Jew to
intermarry is race suicide and means
the extinction of the race, and 1 am
not yet ready to admit that the mis-
sion of the Jew is ended"

that this section Is one of the best
horse raising and that the United
States government has special fond
ness for animals born and bred in
this altitude, as their feet are sound,
wind good, and every way they are
superior animals. He believes that
this section has fine future for any
who care to engage in mule or horse
raising.
Chance to Acquire Cheap Land.
The gentleman also thinks that
the wise man will not neglect the op-
portunity here presented to acquire
some of our cheap land for himself
and family. He Is not an old man
yet, but he has lived long enough to
see land that was sold in Illinois for
12R cents per acre go to $3.50 per
acre today and which will probably
go still higher He let those oppor-
sunities pass him by until the price
got too big for his purse, so he came
out here and got his present holdings
gradually from his earnings. Not an
acre of the same is for sale. 1t is a
farm which any man might be proud
to own, and is the result Of his own
industry, though handicapped for
want of transportation facilities. He
has the land, though, and now
that the railroads and an era OF pros
perity will soon arrive, he is fixed for
the rest OF his life, and can share in
the good things ahead. He knows
that every new settler who arrives,
every new acre turned to use enhan-
ces the value of his holdings, and
while his land may not reach the
present high price of Illinois land, he
believes that with water privileges
and with our known potentialities in
the way of farming, dairying and
fruitgrowing that it may not take so
long as it did in Illinois to reach
SO high or even a greater figure
Such things have happened elsewhere
in Oregon, with no greater material
advantages.
What has been accomplished by
Mr.. Carriker can be done by others.
The opportunity is here, and the fu-
ture must bring more rapid results,
and perhaps greater.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-11-21

Eastern Oregon is looked upon as
@ dry country. Yet the average rain
fall ia about II inches, according to
the record kept at Lakeview for the
last decade. 1t was as high last year
as 27 inches, but this year It Is away
below the normal, But In spite Of
this drawback. IL 1t may be so term
ed, there are farmers here dry land"
Farmers, who have lived heer for
years, contented and prosperous,
own big acreage, large herds and
flocks, have fine homes and are sur
rounded with all the comforts OF life,
says the Lakeview Examiner.
A notable instance being Mr.. L. A.
Carrlker who lives on the West Side
and IL considered one OF the most
prosperous of the dry land farmers
OF southern oregon. He came here
81 years ago from Montgomery coun-
ty. Illinois, and first acquired a pre-
emption, and afterwards a homestead
upon which he made final proof and
has resided ever since. He has since
added TO his original 800 acres by
purchase, the latest addition being
a l0-acre tract purchased recently
and which brings his present holdings
up TO an even 1000 acres OF as fine
land as lies out OF doors, In this land
OF superb climate, and one Of unsur-
passed frutfulness. Each acre OF It,
except where Drews creek crosses the
farm, is tlllable. He has 900 acres
under the plow and the entire 1000
acres are fenced. Mr.. Carriker has
rented a portion OF his titled fields
the past few years and will let more
OF II TO any OF the new settlers who
may care TO put In greater acreage
than they can obtain elsewhere. his
farm is entirely surrounded by the
lands OF the oregon Valley Land COM
pany, and all OF II can be irrigated
by the ditches OF that company II
desired.
Does Not Irrigate.
In the production OF grain, Mr.. Car
rlker has not resorted to irrigation
He has raised 35 or more bushels oil
wheat. and got II bushels this year
an exceptionally poor year. he

has also raised big crops Of barley
and has had excellent results with
rye, getting IL bushels last year,
which seems to stand dry weather
better than other cereals, and also is
less molested by rabbits, that some
times make wretched work In wheat
fields, as no effort has been made to
rid the country Of these pests Dep
relations by rabbits Is one Of the rea-
sons why he has not attempted to
grow fruit, though he has no doubt
that his locality is fully as good for
that purpose as are other portions
OF the Golden Goose Lake valley.
His line OF farming, however, has
been growing Of grain, stock raising
and dairying. In addition to his
range cattle, he has herd Of Is
dairy cows. OF ordinary breed. No
special care is given them. They are
not stabbed, being allowed to run In
the pasture in the summer and In the
stubble fields in the winter Not
much additional feed, other than the
grazing in above manner, Is given
them. Yet, for the past 10 months,
those cows have produced 100 rolls OF
butter, being a little over 100 pounds
for each COW. The butter always
commands csc per pound, and some-
times more. 1t will be observed that
nice income Is thus derived from
the dairy business, which could be
greatly enhanced by grading up and
giving the herd special feed and at
tention, or by following the most APP
proved eastern methods.
Raises Fine Mules.
Another thing in which Mr.. Carri-
ker is greatly interested and that is
in raising mules, which he does on
quite an extensive scale. turning out
10 or more fine animals each year.
The young animals are easily broken
and readily fetch from 800 to $3.50
or more per head. He gives them no
special care. The mild winters here
permit them to run in the pasture,
stubble field and range the year
round. But little feed If any is given
them. Their keep comes from what
otherwise would be waste. When he
sells bunch of the animals 1t is prac-
tically like finding the money. He says

states that the recent appropriations
by congress have been very liberal.
The annual appropriation, both spe-
clal and general, approximates w.

timately to every Indian in the coun-
try a tract of land well supplied with
