FOR SEVEN- TOWNS LARGE INCREASE OF SERVICE OF ELECTRIC POWEB. Scheme Include! Sew Power Station and Erection of Linei to Surrounding Towns. A Walla Walla special Bays: It is rumored here that it th Philadelphia people complete negotiations for the Walla Walla and Pendletotf electric light plants it is the intention of the new company to conduct a large power , plant at some suitable point in ' this dis trict and from it to furnish electric pow er and light not only for Walla Walla and Pendleton, but for all the towns be tween. Among the towns are Milton, Free water, Weston, Athena and Adams. I. W. Anderson, of the' Spokane Gas company is interested ia the proposition. It is understood that it is through bim the deal is being made. It was learned from the officials of the Walla Walla plant today that the deal for the local plant would not be completed for prob ably two months. Manager Morrow has gone to California and it is the intention to close the deal on his return, which ' will probably be six weeks or two months. . ' ' ; .' ... ' ? It is learned from Pendleton that al though the deal for the plant there has not been closed it is expected it will be in a few days. The deal at Pendleton is being made in connection with the deal for the plant here. Although the price of the Pendleton plant , has not been made public it is understood it is in the neighborhood of $60,000, It is believed that an undertaking to furnish power to the towns along the line, which is less than 50 miles, would be a profitable business. ESTIMATES TAXES. County Assessor Strain Hakes a Com parative Showing. ' Work on the assessment rolls is pro gressing rapidly and already three of the first letters of the alphabet list are com pleted, says the East Oregonian. County Assessor C. P. Strain has made footings of the list now complete and from these is able to make very close approximate of the total assess merit of the county. By taking the com parative assessment in the letters A and . B, in the years 1902 and 1903, the total this year will reach very nearly $9,000, 000. The net assessment last year was $5,C64,000 and the county levy of 28 mills produced $158,592 in taxes. The net assessment this year will reach at least $8,GG4,0O0 or an increase of $3, 000,000. A tat levy of about 18 1-8 mills on this amount will produce $158, 592, or the same amount raised last year with a 28 mill tax. Assuming the tax is as great within the city as outside, and assuming that the school and city expenditures shall not exceed those of last year, Mr. Strain estimates that the school and city levies, tuken together this year, will be less than 12 mills, which, added to the county and state tax, will make a total of less than 81 mills. The state board of equalization meets on the fourth Monday in August for the adjustment of taxation, and there prom ises to be little work for the board in this county this year, as the assessment is very satisfactory. Very few cases will be up for adjustment, as the tax levy for the county promises to be reduced by Mr. Strain's assessment at least 10 mills. The assessment of this county has been very close, not an item of value escaping the assessor's eve, with the result that more taipaying property has been found and more just values fixed, so that while the taxes of some IV w men will be higher than usual, the trenen 1 tux levy will be reduced about 2 " per cent for the county. A change that would result in a suv ing to the county of at least one third nf the expense of making the assess ment, euch year, would be to take real estate assessments only once in four years, instead of each year as now. fully one-third of the time of the a- ensor is consumed in going over real aatate which does not fluctuute in value enough in four years in this county to make any appreciable difference in the assessment. HUNT WINS OUT. Ankeny Mayor Is Elected by Fifteen Votes Alter a Hot Campaign. One of the quietest elections in the history of Walla Walla passed off Mon day despite the extremely bitter fight of the campaign. The democrats and "boxer" republi cans united against Mayor Gilbert Hunt and sought to encompass his defeat. Many nasty local matters were thor oughly "aired" during the campaign, but Hunt won the race for mayoralty by 15 votes, despite the united efforts to defeat him and bring disgrace upon his official record. Brown, the "boxer" candidate, as be is called, won over Kees and Hillman by 300 votes. I)ro'nisau anti-Ankeny man. One Ankeny and two anti-Ankeny councilmen were elected. The fight centered on the offices of mayor and marshal. The offices of treasurer, street commissioner, attorney, sexton and clerk were almost forgotten in the hot fight over the more important ones. . Made Mil lm S:03 l- At Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday; Ixro Dillon broke . the world's record for trotting mares by a quarter of a second, going the mile in 2.03 1-2. It was the second fastest mile ever trotted, Cres ceus alone having a better mark. It was 6 o'clock when Lou Dillon started for her trial of a mile against Alix's re cord of 2:03 3-4. The track was in ex cellent condition. Millard Sanders was in the sulky and two runners accompa nied the little mare around the track. She got away at the first trial, stepping like a whirlwind, and at no time did she falter. She reached the first quarter in M 1-4, the half in 1:01 8-4, the three quarters in 132 1-2 and finished the mile in 23 12 amid tremendous cheers. Lou Dillon is owned by C. K. Billings, of Chicago.
