and other expenses which might be
made in building roads bridges, etc.
After October 9th (date Of issuing
calll there will be no fnuds to replen-
ish the treasury until after the colleo
tion of taxes due March 1911, and as
the running expenses OF the county
amount to atout $4,000 per month,
it can be readily seen that the expira-
tion of the present Judges term of
Office will find the county indebted
ness to be in no better condition than
at the BEGINNING Of his term.
Another matter the judge inten-
tionally overlooks in his statement
"that the county Indebtedness is COM
pletely wiped OUT is the fact that
the present Indebtedness of the county
road and bridge fund amounts TO about
$4,000, and that there is work under
construction pow that will greatly
increase this sum; these facts can alb
solutely be verified by an examination
of the public records of the county.
/ ask you to carefully consider the
above data in order to convince your
self whether or not Judge Gilliland
has been successful In materially re-
ducing the actual Indebtedness Of
Umatilla county.
Yours very respectfully.

HELIX MAN UNDER ARREST
Well Known Young Rancher Charged
With Theft of Wheat.

Roy Blake, we'll known young
man of near Helix, says the East Ore
gonian, has been arrested on charge
of stealing wheat from the Puget
Sound warehouse at HELIX and is now
lodged in the county Jail. He was ar
raigned before Justice of the Peace Joe
H. Parkes Monday forenoon, waived
preliminary hearing and was held to
the circuit court under $3.50 bonds.
No being able to furnish the money he
was remanded to the custody of the
sheriff and was taken TO Jail.
Though the information filed against
the young rancher only charges him
with taking four sacks of wheat from
the Puget Sound company's building,
it is understood that the officers have
evidence tending to show that he took
wheat from the Farmers Mutual
warehouse and also from Northern
Pacific freight cars. About 100 sacks
have been stolen in all.
The relatives of the young man are
making an effort.to secure Eonds fol-
him but in case this is successful ht
| will probably be arrested on secont
charge at the instance of the Northern
Pacific railroad company. The pres
ent complaint was made by the Puge
Sound Warehouse company through
J. E. Montgomery, agent.

PREMIUMS TOTAL $4,000.
Apple Show Competitions Will Be
Keener Than Ever Before,

Professor Fl. E. Van Deman of
Washington, ID. c., who will preside
as the chief of the board of FIVE jadg-
es at the third National Apple show
in Spokane. November IL to 10, pe-
lieves the competitions will be keener
than ever before for the prizes and
premiums of total value of $4,000.
He writes in a letter to the secretary
and manager Of the organization:
s'The time for the great National
Apple Show in Spokane is near at
hand and the whole western country
is in a high state Of expectation and
the east as we'll, to some extent. 1t
is really G national event, because
there is to be a bigger and better dis
play of apples than has ever been
seen in the history of fruit shows and
it will represent the nations best pro-
ducts in this line.
"The deepest interest is shown by
fruitgrowers in the making of exhib-
its for western apple shows and espec-
tally those who are preparing, as
most of them are, to attend the apple
show in Spokane. Many of them
have been preparing for the contest
ever since The last show. and they
are determined to win.
"While 1t ia true that the compe-
titions were close last year and the
judges had great difficulty in decid-
ing which were the better exhibits in
many classes. know we will have
much harder job this year. Those
who win the prizes will do SO by a
narrow margin, those who lose would
be winners in almost any fruit show
in America and would have nothing
| to be ashamed Of. +"

Judge Gilliland in endeavoring to
explain the cause of this enormous in
crease asserts that it is due largely
to the increase in state taxes over
which he has no control. In order
that the public may not be deceived
by Judge Gilliland's assertions and
his juggling Of figures, make the
following comparison; as stated above,
the total amount assessed against the
property in Umatilla county in 1909
amounted to SAL, ,683.58.
Deducting therefrom all school and
city taxes levied, there Is balance OF
1924, 500. 80. further deducting from
this the state taxes, which amount to
STA, ,723. So, we have total balance
for the actual running expenses OF the
county for the year 1909 amounting to
5000. 873.3 30.
During the last year of Judge Hart
mau's term, towit: the year 1908, |
find that the total amount assessed
against property in Umatilla county,
exclusive of Gity and school taxes.
amounted to $f85, 1880. The state
taxes for the same year were $50,
90, leaving total balance or amount
for the actual running expenses OF the
county Of $l25. 124.80. most re-
spectfully cali the tax payers atten-
