first floor will be used by the
bank exclusively, and is furnished
with new desks and counters
throughout; steel ceiling, tile floor;
unique Mahogany window shades
and with the fixtures and wood
work finished in flened oak. which
mades very attractive and up to

The First State Bank is now
housed in a building, which would
be credit to any city of many

Phone Co. Making Good Improvements

The Pacific Telephone & rele-
graph Co completed large amount
of improving in their local tele-
phone exchange. They have done
considerable out side construction
such as cutting into service several
thousand feet of new cable thereby
disposing of the aerial wire which
is rapidly passing from use in
modern telephone work. A parti-
cular good feature Of the new work
in this city is that of furnishing
the subscribers on the Northside
with individual, two or four party
line service. Heretofore they have
been on ten party line service
which was not nearly so satisfact-
DRY as the present system.
In addition to the above improve
ments the company has fitted up
new Office quarters in the building
next to the Del Monte Cafe and is
being equipped with every arrange
ment for the convenience Of the
public and employees. The present
equipment will make possible the
furnishing of service to three hun.
dred or more subscribers. The
company has had large force o.
men working on the cut-over etc,
| for the past two weeks.

State AudiieF TayleF's Views on Extra
Legislative Session.

State Auditor Taylor was 10 Bon
ners Ferry Thursday and Friday
having taken occasion to run home
day or two while in the pOrth on
business. Asked as to his views
in regard to an extra session of the
legislature, said:
II see by the press dispatches
that Governor Hawley contem-
plates calling special session of
the legislature to revise the tax
laws. This is a virtual acknowl-
edglnent that his full each value
plan of assessment without proper
preparation is a colossal failure -
fact now known to thou sands of
taxpayers since they have received
their tax statements, showing a
heavy increase over last year, under
the old system.
However, in view of the disas-
trous results of the Governors poll
icy, am of the opinion thst the
calling of an extra session would
be wise action, notwithstanding
the great expense. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to find instances where
the taxes of the farmer have been
raised five times what it was last
year, while double and treble
amounts are heard of on every
hand. There has been an ad-
ditional burden of several hundred
thousand dollars placed upon the
farmers of the state by the full cash
value plap without preparation and
if this can be remedied by an item of
$40, 900 to $4,000 for an extra ses-
sion it will be money we'll expended.
"So one opposes cash value as
an economic principle, but the leg
islature has been enacting revenue
laws to suit low value assessments
ever since territorial days, and it
very naturally followed that we
were IN no condition to make a
radical change from low valuations
to high valuations without some
preparation.
THE question of whether the
Governors full cash value plan
was wise has now passed beyond
the arGumentive stage. The tax
payers are now receiving their tax
statements and the cold figures
speak for themselves. ] am not
therefore, surprised that the Gov
ernor contemplstes calling special
session to try to correct this col
ossal blunder, at great expense.
SIN this connection ! may cay
Bonner county gets off better than
any county in the state. for the
reason that the state board reduced
the assessment 80 per ont, and for
the further reason that this county
has the benefit of increased rail.

Father of Two Wen Known Pendlc-

Up FTn-Is Oregon Pioneer and
Formerly an Indian Fighter.

The following dispatch from Leb-
anon will be OF interest here for the
reason that the nonogenarian spoken
Pendleton citizens, W. NJ. and JOS
A. Blakely and was a visitor at the
recent Roundup:
If Grandpa" James Blakely of
Brownsville, who is probably the old
est man in oregon, lives until No
vember 26 he will be SO years old
and the best part of it is that he is
well and strong and gets around as
well as good many men at rs.
When the weather is fair Grand
pa" Blakely walks from his home to
the postoffce and back each day. a
distance of about a mile each way.
He did all of the work in his garden
ana yard this year with the exception
of the plowing He is a little deaf
but with this one exception has all of
his faculties. He enjoys a good joke
today as much as ever
Grandpa" Blakely was born in
Knox county, Tennessee. on Novem-
ber 20, 1912. when he was quite
young his parents moved to Missouri.
With his family he crossed the plains
with OK teams in 1916 and the same
year took up a donation land claim
where a part of North Brownsville
now stands. In partnership with an
other man he started the first store
and also built the first FIGURING mill
in Brownsville. He was captain of
company D, Second Oregon regiment
in the Rogue river campaign against
the Indians and was mustered out
July 4, 1856.
Mrs. Blakely died in Brownsville,
June IA, 1888, since which time he
has lived with his children and grand
children, at the present time making
his home with his daughter, Mrs. G.
C. Cooley on part of the old original
homestead which he took up in 1876.
Mr.. Blakely and his chilren have been
great factor in the building up OF
| Brownsville.
From all appearances, Grandpa
Blakely has good chances of passing
: the Tooth milepost in life.
