LAST SESSION
. This is the last session of the present
county 000.1 a, Juu ilauiauu auu
Commissioner Blumenstein retire with
the satisfaction of knowing that during
their administration the county indebted
ness has been reduced thousands of
dollars, something unknown in this coun
try. Since .the county seat has been moved
to La Grande all portions of the country
are now interested in seeing the indebt
edness reduced, which was not formerly
the case. The large debt, the expense
of another court house, the expense of
moving were argument used by those
opposed to a change, and they were the
factors that prevented s removal many
years before it was finally accomplished
and the larger the debt the easier it was
to prevent the possibility of a removal.
The transition has taken place and now
it is to the interest of every section of
the county to tee the debt wiped out and
it i being rapidly reduced. , ,
With Mr. Seldertas a holdover member
of the Board, with the busines experience
which County Judge-elect J. C. Henry
will carry into the office and with the ex
perience in county officers of Commission
er elect Ben Brown the county will have a
board that will always have the interest
of the county at heart and it goes wi fl
out saying that the present policy of
debt reduction will be continued.
It is a safe prediction that Union county
will be entirely out of debt within the
next ten years, large as it is, and in so
doing the rate of taxation need not be so
large as it has been in the past.

Fruitmen would like to see a few

supply diminishes and price, rise. Ore
gon's counties having the heaviest timber
in reserves will probably reap a consid
ers, b e annual revenue from this source.
Grazing feee will be realized from the first
year that the new h rovision goes into effect
The minimum and maximum figures are
not available, but the average number of
sheep -hat will be permitted on reserves
will probably be at the rate of one for
each 2.5 acres, wmle cattle will be alloted
at the rate of one beast for each, five or
six acres. The Government's figures for
tu nmtr grazing of sheep are five to eight
cents, and 23 0 25 for cattle. If sheep
rmy be -aken as a basis of estimate, at
six cents a head, and 2.5 acres to one
sheep, the rsve-iue fron 12.330,003 acre
would be $28d,000 for the grezing privi
lege. It cannot be said that nearly 1 2
000,000 acres will be grazed, so this
basic figure is probably high. Under the
10 per cent provision, the state would get
cut of this aggregate but $28,800, to be
distributed among the many counties hav
ing reserve land.
Timber revenues will in all probability
be much larger, especially west of the
summit of the Cascades. Such returns
'.'.':!! in z!! pr?bv'ify Honm a more im
portant item of county revenue in the next
decade.
In the struggle for such concessions as
this, the North members of Congress have
cften found themselves practically alone.
Senator Fulton has consistently striven
for a larger percentage of timber and
range receipts, but found that the struggle
had to be pioneered among apathetic
members whose states had hue cr no
timber for the market and less grass,
Under the provisions of the pending meas
ure, he hopes that public sentiment will
be quickened, until the division of receipts
is placed on a basis of such share for the
Government as actual expenses require,
giving the residue to the counties where
reserves are found.
When the pending agricultural appro
priation bill becomes law, if as at present
framed, all proceeds of forest reserves,
whether for sale of timber or grazing
privileges, will be divided with counties in
which the reserves are situated. The
percentage agreed upon is 10, which will
probably be finally adopted, this being of
gross receipts.
The effect in Oregon will be material,
where approximate y 12.000.000 acres of
