HAS AN UTOPIA1
Tnxloss Mininjr Town
losfs Over Mile AImac
Sea Level
BAKER, Auk. 12. There is a town!
in Baker county in which the inhab,!
itanta have "p municipal taxes to pay,1
and patrons of city water works do
not look for-vard to the paying of
water rent, and iis name is not TJtop-i
ia. This town has other distinctions".'
It looks down on all other incorporate 1
cities of the state from an elevation
of (i.500 feet above sea level. Ii has
no money in the treasury, no debci
levies no municipal tax and owns .ij
gravity water system supplying the
purest mountain water. I
This town is Greenhorn, anil it hv;h
a city charter from the state with all
the offices of a city. James Dickso'i;
is the mayor. It is in the heart of the
Greenhorn mountains, surrounded by
primeval forests, beautiful mnuntui.i
streams in which speckled trou'. i
abound and ir is said there are deer 1
in the forests, of course in season
also an occasional bear or other wild
animal. Lying under the shadow of
Vinegar hill, the highest peak of the '
Greenhorn jnountains, it makes an
ideal place for the person wanting t'.
camp out during the summer month,
gelling bac kto nature. )
To be an inhabitant of Greenhor l '
means that one is intiM-esteil in mining '
and if you should be a sojourner for
a few days in Hint section it will bo
strange if you do not become a min i
ing fan also.

NORTH POWDKH, Auk. 12j A
big joint grange meeting was hel.lj
at Wolf Creek, Saturday, August 0 .
j for the purpose of discussing the'
, probability of a co operative creum
cry somewhere in this vicinity. As;
J far as is known nt this time, North I
i lowder has the preference, being !
centrally located and having plenty
' of good water ami power. The selec
j tion, however, remains to the choice
j of the members, says the News.
If the-plnn goes through the insti
1 tution will be run on the Huchdale
system, hach member will have but
one vote regardless of the amount of
shares he holds. According to the
promoters, Messrs. lliggs and Will:
ins, investors will be guaranteed J
per cent interest, as the products of
I the plant will be sold through the l'a
I cific L'u-Op'Tative League chain 'of
. stores.
'lhe plan is to collect cream from
Weatherby to the east, and as far
we;-t as the Grande li.mie valley, and
from the Burnt Uiver section. Be
sides the making of butter, cheese and
other produce will be manufactured
I and sold through the chain stores. The1
plant is t" cost $10,000, and will be1
I up-to-date in every respect. 1 ' j
Alessers IMggs and Wilkins were in

in o the future."

Mr. Livermore came to Uinatil In

renn nibei's - how Pendleton . citizens
took the county records from that
town nnd brought them here. He re
members also that the local men were
forced to return them but that they
