Numerous Division Measures
Would Change State Map
Beyond Recognition.

Business men of Oregon will do
well to take note of the innumerable
county division bills for the considera-
tion of the people next fall. Already
SO many division measures have been
filed with the secretary of state that
IL half of them are adopted the map
of Oregon will be so changed that it
Will not be recognized even by ma
tive son." declares the Pendleton East
Oregonian in its issue of July 25.
Furthermore the indiscriminate
creation of new counties cannot fail
to increase taxation. This state can
not create ten new counties and pro.
vide for ten additional sets of county
officers and hope to get along with
present levies The divisionists make
assertions to the contrary. But that
is campaign talk. That same argu-
mept was advanced in favor of the
creation of Hood River county. Yet
b. A. Schiller, Pendleton tailor who
owns property in Hood River, found
his taxes increased 61.4 per cent the
first year of the new county's exist
ence. 1t is the history of every new
county that division brings on increas.
ed taxation. This Is only natural.
Another feature OF these division
fights Is the fact that division meas
ires are sprung when the people re-
siding in the proposed new counties
do not want division at all. Take for
instance the Orchard county scheme.
Manifestly the people residing in the
greater portion OF that proposed coun-
ty do not want division. Two of the
four towns included in Orchard coun-
ty are hotly opposed to the division.
They are Weston and Athena. They
have good reason for being opposed.
Division will mean increased taxation
and that business now held by Athena
and Weston will be diverted to Walla
Walla. Milton people imagine they
will get that business. But they
won't. Milton is practically suburb
of Walla Walla and such it will al
ways remain. II Orchard county car
ries, that business will be lost to this
state.
"The Orchard county measure was
drafted in secret by little clique OF
Milton business men. 1t is purely
selfish measure. Representative men
wing fight in Milton and in Free.
water are opposed to the proposition
In communications to this paper they
have 80 declared themselves. Even
the newspapers Of Milton and Freewa-
ter have failed to take up with the
proposition. Neither the Freewater
Times or the Milton Eagle advocates
the division measure editorially and
this fact has caused much comment.
The Weston Leader and the Athena
Press have declared themselves as
utterly opposed to division.

Picturesque Barefooted Fish Hawkers
of Portugal.
The ovarinas are perhaps the most
interesting people in Portugal They
are probably the lineal descendants OF
the original inhabitants of the land,
and now come from a small place
called Murtosa Estarreja), not far
from Oporto. AS the termination indi-
Gates, the overinas are the women OF
these people.
Both old and young, for even young
children are thus employed, are \ex-
ceedingly active and energetic. They
go about barefoot, wearing peculiar
costume, and carrying huge baskets OF
q peculiar shape on their heads They
travel many miles day and penetrate
into every corner of the city, crying
their wares in loud, unmusical shout.
They mount even to the sixth floors
and bargain with buyers, They go
barefoot not because of their poverty,
many of them possessing expensive
gold ornaments, but because they can
thus more easily cover the many miles
they run during the day. Attempts
have been made to do away with this
method of selling fish, but they have
all failed The customers like to deal
with these fish girls and can purchase
from them very small amounts.
Fish is not purchased by weight, but
by the fish or part Of fish. The price
averages IL to Is cents per pound.
| There are not less than 1000 ovarinas

Counties Where Division Agitated too
Sparsely Settled,
The Prineville Review sizes up the
situation wisely when it says that the
population In most OF the counties
where county division is being agi-
tated is too small and scattering,
Many of the districts are too sparsely
settled to permit the scheme. Resi-
dents and property owners would be
taxed so high that 1t would mean ruin
to q large number Wait until the
counties have more people and the list
of taxables warrant county division.
advises the Review as follows:
ut would be unwise to make any
sort of division Of Crook County just
now, 1t is too thinly settled yet. In
due course OF time, when the parent
county shall have attained $4,000 or
10000 and the list of taxables war
rants II, division will be sure to come;
II is lneVltaDle. but IL is not business
sanity to divide county of less than
10000 souls, and a moment of sober
reflection should convince any one of
this. When the proper time arrives
and a just county division law is en-
acted, the three cities most concern.
ed, Madras, Redmond and Bend, all
of which have division schemes in
mind, can settle the matter between
themselves. But so long as the whole
state is required to vote upon a mat
ter with which only a small part is
even remotely concerned, We would
advise electors TO vote an emphatic
NO, not only on the Deschutes propo.
sition, but every other county bill"

1t was Theophile Gautier who said
something to the effect that If he
thought that one line Of the great mas
ter, Victor Hugo, was bad he would
not acknowledge it to himself II he
were alone at the bottom Of dark
well. On another occasion Gautier
spoke of Victor Hugo as "a new Moses
fresh from Sinai, charged to deliver
the tablets Of the law" Decidedly,
Victor Hugo was q man who knew
how to cast a spell upon those about
him. For example, look at the follow
ing picture drawn in the Souvenir sur
Turgenieff."
"One evening Hugo's admirers as
sembled in his drawing room, were
competing with one another in the
eulogy of his genius, and the idea was
thrown out, that the street in which
he lived ought to bear his name. Some
one suggested that the street was too
small to be worthy Of so great q poet,
and the honor Of bearing his name
ought to be assigned to some more I'M
portant thoroughfare. Then they pro-
ceeded to enumerate the most popular
quarters Of Paris, in an ascending
scale, until one man exclaimed with
enthusiasm that 1t would be an honor
for the city of Paris itself to be re-
ramed after the man of genius. Hugo,
leaning against the mantelpiece, listen
ed complacently to these flatterers out
bidding each other. Then, with an air
Of one engaged in deep thought, he
