BELOWIAST YEAR
Milage Is Slightly Higher
Because Of Big Drop In
Assessed Valuation-State
Tax Calls For 10.4 Mills
VALE, OREGON. SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1922.
Malheur county taxes to be col
lected in 1922 will be close to $20,
000 less than they were in the past
year, according to the levies which
were officially made public this
week.
The millage will be slightly high
er, however, as the total assessed
C valuation of the county dropped
nearly a million dollars last year,
due to the heavy depreciation in the
value and number of livestock in
the county and the decreased value
of merchandise stocks and some
other classes of personal property
which were affected by the slump in
prices. The assessment of land
values in the county is approximate
ly the same as it was two years ago
and this means that the land will
stand a slightly higher taxation
than it did last year.
The big jolt in taxes this year, the
same .as last year.is in the state tax.
It was necessary to levy a tax of
10.4 mills in the county to raise the
necessary $158,000 asked for by
state governments. The total state,
county, school, sinking fund and
library taxes in the county necessi
tated a levy of 16.5 mills.
The complete tax levies of the
county are as follows:

News comes from LaPine, Des-

railroad with light rails is to be
built across Central Oregon and that
the first Unit of construction may
be to connect with the Southern Pa
cific line at Oakridge in Lane
county.
ine Liafine lntermountain, a
weekly paper, "scoops" all other pa
pers in the state on this story. The
story "broke"' in that town at a
meeting at which representatives of
the capitalists who are said to be
back of the , project were present,
and at which the plans were an
nounced was held there. This paper
prints the following concerning the
plans:
"According to statements made by
members of the conference yester
day, the road will be of the "light
rail" type of construction, and auto
mobile trans will be operated over it.
"A series of conferences have
been held at Portland and San Fran
cisco during the past few months,
getting the details of the new trans
portation system worked out, and a
plan of financing perfected.
"There are nearly 22,000,000 acres
of territory affected by the new
deal, extending east to the state
line southward. One hundred and
six little towns and settlements will
be supplied with transportation.
The first unit of construction
may be to connect with one of the
four main lines now extending into
this vast undeveloped empire, but no
infoimation has yet been given out
as to whether it will be Klamath
Falls, Crane, Oakridge or Bend. It is
known, however, that engineers have
been here the past few weeks and
that indications point to a line from
Crane to Oakridge as the first move.
"The plan of operation and the
type of construction to be used by
this company have been fully ap
proved by some of the leading rail
road men and engineers of the Unit
ed Elates, and by these men it is
considered the one hope for Central
Oregon, enabling this vast area to
communicate within itself and to
'.ouch the heavy transportation lines
where the best service is offered.
"Re resentatives of the various in
terests included in the new project
are now on the ground going over
possible routes, and( getting things
in readiness to start construction as
soon as weather permits.'' Eugene

THE GASOLINE TAX.
Portland, for the most ptfrt, is re
maining discreetly quiet about the
proposed tax on gasoline to finance
its 1925 exposition. Even if the
supreme court decides that a major
ity vote in favor of the measure was
recorded in the senate and that the
proposition will be submitted to the
people in May, Portland wuold like i
the impression to go out to the state
at large that the fair promotors do
not favor such a tax but would ac

of pigs, farrowed in March, until
about August 1. Then the pigs will
be shipped to Pendleton and turned
over to their second owners who will
put them on grain stubble for the
final period of feeding.
Careful cost records will be kept
during both periods, and the experi
ment this year will be used as the
basis for future feeding operations.
Under the tentative plan drawn up,
the irrigationist will keep the young
porkers for about five months, and
the wheat man will have him the
final three months of his career.
Well bred hogs will be handled in
the experiment.
According to plans anounced by M.
G. Hope, president of the Vale
Cream Products corporation, the new
corporation for placing dairy cows
on the project around Vale, a buyer
will be sent into some region to se
cure a shipment of cows within ' a
very Bhort time. '
The corporation has $5700 of its
capital stock already subscribed and
tho directors propose to use this
money at once to secure the first
shipment of cows. While the cor
poration was organized for the ex
press purpose of re-discounting its
paper with the War Finance cor-
porntion, the directors assert they
see no reason for waiting until the
federal agency has taken the time
to pass upon the application of the
corporation. The directors propose
to utilize the money already raised
and place cows upon the project as
quickly as possible.
Applications for a number of cows '
have already been made by farmers
around Vale and these applications
will be considered by the board of
directors at once.
The articles of incorporation which
were filed by Thos. B. Nordalc, A.
E. McGillivray. Llovd Riches find
Robt. D. Lytle, ns incorporators a
week ago with the corporation

Due to a mistaken opinion of the
new coyote bounty law by both
county officials and the editor of
The Enterprise, an incorrect version
of the law as it was finally signed
iy Governor Olcott was published in
last week's issue of this paper and
the paper desires to correct the in
fomation this week.
The coyote bounty low as intro
duced by Representative Gallagher
contained clause making it optional
upon the separate county courts to
pay these bounties. The law passed
the house as introduced but was
corrected In committee In the sen
ute and this clause stricken from
the law and it wus signed by tho
governor as amended.
Under the new law Malheur coun
ty must pay bounties as in the past
but the person presenting the pelt
for bounty must make an affidavit
that he or she actually captured or
killed the animal for which bounty '
is sought within the county which is
asked to pay the bounty and further
stute the precinct in which the ani
ma wus killed or caught and the
date of such killing or taking which
shall not be more than 60 days
prior to the presentation for bounty.
And the person making application
for thu bounty must have the sup
porting affidavit of two freeholders
of the county as to the truthfulness
of his or her statements.
Violating the act or making false
affidavit is mude a felony and the
punighrment is fixed by a j ail sen
tence of f rum 30 days to 0110 . yeur,
ur a fine of from $50 to $500 or
both.
A errtifiiil copy of the new law
