U'Ren Hat New Tax Idea.
Snlem. W. 8. t'Ren. of Oregon
City, evidently Intend to have sub
mltted to the people at the next gen
eral election an amendment to the
constitution providing for the exemp
tion of prr--iiii.il property to the value
of llRoo from tnxntlon. Mr. t'Ren
called Secretary of State Olcott over
the telephone and asked him to ap
prove a form of petition which will he
circulated for the Initiation of the law.
It Is planned to make It mandatory
upon the secretary of state to resub
mit the measure to the people for
repeal nt the KMfi and 1!MR elections
While the object of this plan has not
been revealed, It is bellied that It la
Intended to win votes for the amend
ment.
These tbree go along together
for any adequate success at
'arming. Growing grain for
marketing In Its raw state means
Impoverishment of the soil, as
all experience shows. Growing
live stock of course means grain
to feed them, and a wise rota
tion means growing of clover or
vetch or cowpeas. alfalfa or
some other legume to secure the
soil nitrogen, and with this com
bination of legumes and barn
yard manure that greatest or
ganic soil element, humus. Is sc
cured, which also aids in holding
moisture In plant growth Kami

HARRIMAN
Townsite Now Open
Situated near the Malheur Lake, on a high, fine gentle
sloping tract of land. This site offers exceptional
opportunity for making a good city. Vastareas of ara
ble territory spread out in all directions. Every valley
and streamlet of the distant mountains has its ranches
and flourishing livestock. Considerable kind in the
valley is still subject to homestead entry, and with the
advent of the
Oregon-Eastern Railway
Now building toward Harney Valley, this grand new
empire will teem with land seekers and people seeking
business opportunities and professional locations.
GET IN EARLY
Good opening for a newspaper, blacksmith shop, hotel drag store, hardware
and implement nouses, as well as other lines of business.
A limited number of lots are now offered for sale at remarkably low pric
either for cash or on easy terms, which prices will advance when the railioad
is built into the Harnev Vallev.
REMEMBER, Uarriman will be the first important point in the grail Harney
Valley to have a railroad.
