that the council, at the beginning Of
each month, apportion the amount Of
money to be expended in each de-
partment during the month. They
did not like it, but he carried his
point-and thereafter the bills were
kept down to figure that would
not run the expenses above the rev.
enues.
THAT was simple; it would seem
as though anybody could do it, but
it was Mr. Alexander who blazed the
way. Those who had occasion to
attend the council meetings at that
time we'll remember the heroic man.

was applied. And the most beautiful
feature OF it was that this was &C.
complished without Gripping the city

nothing to indicate to the citizen that
any less money was being expended.
The mayor did it, and he is the kind
OF man that the people desire to
have for mayor during the next two

Noted Contralto Coming.

Mrs. Lulu Dohl Miller, who
will be heard here in concert,
in November possesses a rare,
sympathetic, voice Of most un-
usual quality. She is a singer
Of wide experience having been
with the Fritzie Scheff Opera Co.
in THE Prima Donna" for one
season-and having filled the
position of contralto soloist of
the Rutyers Presbyterian Church,
New York, succeeding Mrs.
Clarence Eddy, in this position
which is one of the best choir
positions in New York.
OF her recent work in La
Grande the papers say:
"A record afternoon crowd
yesterday listened to one of the
finest vocal recitals ever given
on local stage when Lulu Dahl
Miller entertained her many adj
mirers, both here and from out
OF town points with a program
OF selected numbers, repeating
many numbers by special re-
quest. A singer of note having
filled important parts in opera,
both heavy and hight, she has a
voice Of wonderful range and
sweetest tones. Mrs. Miller
handles with ease the heaviest
roles or the simple little home
loved songs. If Mrs. Miller
should, by any good fortune, re-
turn again to sing for US, the
largest auditorium in the city
would be packed to overhowing. |

To the Votors and Tax
payers of Harney County.
Through the courtesy Of Mr.. j.
w. Biggs. have been permitted
to read a circular which is to be
distributed by ]. F. Mahon for
the purpose of injury to my can
didacy for the Office of County
Clerk; it reads in part as follows:
To The Voters of Harney County
The following protest was fill
ed before the Board of Equaliza-
tion, composed of County Judge
Grant Thompson, Clerk R. t.
Hughet, and Assessor Jas. Done
gan.
1t was presented in good faith
and with the honest endeavor to
have the assessment raised on a
class of property which we think
is valued far too low and not in
proportion with other property in
the county.
The refusal of the request and
the failure of our efforts were
accomplished partly through the
action and vote of Clerk r. T.
Hughet, who holds his position
not by the expressed will of the
voters but by appointment, and
whose election to this Office |
this Fall will be a ratification of
this act.
Do the taxpayers of Harney
County uphold such action?
The purpose of the protest was
to have the valuation. as fixed
by the County Assessor, of $3.50
on sheep raised to $3.0 per head
and tue valuation of $4,000 on
cattle raised to $500 per head;
at time the protest was filed Mr..
Mahon was asked his opinion as to
or not proper valuations
had been placed on land, he at
that time stated that he thought
and was about right; this pro-
test was denied by unanimous ac-
ton of the Board Of Equalization
after careful consideration and
comparison, using the valuation
IN land as the basis. An exam
nation Of the assessment roll sat
SIZED me that land was not as
Iessed at more than 30 per cent of
is value and therefore that it
would be unjust to raise the
on livestock with out
t the same time raising the valua- I
ion on land, in this matter the I
Board made the following rec s
mmendation: y
This Board. realizes that O
many changes in the relative val b
e of lands have occurred since +

ully recommend to the County s
,ourt of Harney County that pro- ?
isions be made for a reclassif- o

lent valuations for 1915 be fixed 8
nd that for this purpose sufi- s

DRASTIC EIGHT-HoUR LAW

California is to this fall the question whether the
new eghhour is 60 into effect. This measure IS SO
drastic as to create doubt whether it will be adopted
although the indications said to be in its favor
The measure prohibits working eight hours day In
all cases except those of extraordinary emergency caused
fire flood danger to life property The penalty for
violating its provisions either the part of employer or
enmlove fine of $50 $780, Imprisonment in the
county a for from ten ninety days. both together
Overtime absolutely prohibited III farming and
fruit gathering.
That this limitation will work hardship all around under
certain circumstances appears plain when the difficulty OF
obtaining adequate labor fora large harvest considered The
conditions make necessary for farmer to wait
another labor and make for the delay by
working overtime With such law in force the ordinary
family will feel its effect by the limitation it imposes
domestic labor
Also the law will make it impossible for aborers to earn
ANYTHING extra by working than eight hours 1t hardly
that such law will be enacted by popular VOTE though
may be done by minority of the voters the majority
emitting to vote
