the ballot, there will la* required for the divinion 66 per cent of
J. H DITTKM OKK. 8ec'y._
the vote in the territory creating the new county and 35 per cent
of the vote in the old part of the county from which the new part in
cutting off, to v«»te in fa v o r o f the proposition in order that it may
carry.
A h to exjMTi.we of operating a new county, thin Heemn to he the
principal opposition that has been advanced hy tho.se not particu
larly fav«*ring it. A fter these have been shown what other coun-
ties have la-«tn «loing whose physical conditions are very similar
to ours, many of them have come to the conclusion that the propo-
siti«m is much better than it at first looked. Take Sherman county
for instance: Kgur«*H have l»een secured from the county court of
that county to the effect that at the time they cut off from Wasco
county, a number of years ago, the tax rate before was 20 mills
in that county, and for the last ten years, on an average, the rate
has Isstn only 9.6 mills far county purposes, which includes a 3
mill special road tax for the last three years.
It is a fact that there will have to be a new set of officers far
• he new county, whose expenses will have to be paid, but the ex
pense o f this is a small item, when it is shown what the cost of the
operation of the present courts in Crook county are, as to mileage
and other g«*neral expenses necessary far the operation of counties
the area of the present Crook county.
The area of the proposed new county is something over a
third more than that of Sherman county, while they have a larger
amount of taxable property; this is due principally to the land all
being proved up on and taxable, while in this section there is a
quantity of land that is just filed on and will not come in for taxes
far several years yet. This one item alone wi!! materially increase
the amount of taxable prop«*rty at the rate of probably $30,000
yearly.
As to the location of the county seat, and the erection of the
county buildings, will say that as to the farmer, that matter will
rest entirely with the county court for a period of two years, after
which the new county will vote on the proposition of a permanent
location, and during this time it, of course, would not be practicable
to erect buildings, but rather to rent a suitable building until the
county seat question is definitely settled, after two years.
It is expected that delegations from the towns north of the
Crooked river, and of the different other organizations, will go to
I’rineville at an early date and arrange for a meeting of the rep
resentative citizens there far the purpose of agreeing on e«iuitable
lines, it is also proposed to endeavor to m«iet with the people of
Redmond and Sisters at an early date to see if the proposed lines
