WALLOWA COUNTY STOCK.
Tha Eddy Law Yearly Income WIII Hun Stands
to 9150,000.
Haleru— When the Eddy corporation
tax law was pa»a«-d it was estimate«!
that it would produce a revenue of
$100,000 a year. The act has been in
force scarcely more than six months
and ther«.* lias tieen pai<! into the state
treasury 900 808. F. T. Wrightrnan,
corporation clerk in the office of the
necretary of state, esfimates that the
annual revenue will aggregate $126,000
to $160,000, with the latter sum not
improbable. As a revenue measure, it
is evident that the E«l«]y law will not
i>e a disappointment.
It has Ireen fm juently charged bv
promoters of wildcat mining companies
that the E«l«ly law would keep out for­
eign corporations an«l prevent the orga­
nization of new concerns. It is true
that the law has put a very rmticeable
check upon the organization of corpora­
tions with enormous capital st«A-k, but
without any conahleratde assets.
Cor­
porations are now forme«J upon a more
businesslike basis.
The assertions of the mining stock
promoters serve«l to cause some doubt
as to the success of the K«l«ly law, but
the fa«-ts gleaned from the records ia
the office of the secretary of atate prove
the error of those assertions. The cor­
poration tax law has not kept away any
corporation that desired to do a legiti­
mate business in this state.
The recor«la show that since May 21,
when the new law went into eff«*ct, 171
corporations organized in other states
have filed their articles in this state
ami paid $60 ea«-h for the privilege of
so doing. The total revenue from that
source in less than seven months was
$8,550.
These 171 foreign corporations also
paid the projxirtion of the annual
license fee <lue for the unexpired frac­
tion of the year, which fee varied ac­
costing to the capital stock. The rev­
enue from this source was $17,369.79,
making a total of $26,909.79 which for­
eign corporations have contributed to
the support of this state in a period of
less than seven months.
Ifuring this same time 226 new con­
cerns have been organized in this state,
paying organization fees which varied
a<*C(inling to the amount of the captiml
stock, and aggregating $9,892.97.
These 228 new companies, in a per­
iod of less than seven months, means
an average of more than 32 per month,
which doe* not seem to imlicate that
the Eddy law has prevented the organ­
ization of corporations or forced them
to go to other states to secure corporate
authority. The total f«-es collected by
the s«*cretary of state from both foreign
an«l domestic corporations are $36,802.-

Third In the List
Sheep Producers.
of
Heavy
Enterprise— The county assessor has
just complete«] his statement of the
number «if she«-p and cattle in Wallowa
county for 1903. lie shows the num­
ber of sheep to be 180,000. Thus W al­
lowa starnls third on the list among the
countier of eastern Oregon. It is lead
only by Morrow and Umatilla. The
sheep in each of those counties num-
bere«i about 183,000.
The average
price of sheep this fall is placed at
$2.30. This makes the value of the
sheep of Wallowa county $414,000.
There is little in« rease this year over
the number raise«l in 1902.
The number of cattle is placed at
16,936, which is about the same as
was raised last year. Wallowa county
is well Jown the list in the number of
« attle, outclassing only Morrow county.
The average price of cattle this year is
placed by the buyers at $25 each. This
would make the total value of the cat­
tle $423,400.
The value of the cattle and sheep
combined would be $1,037,400. The
value of the sheep and cattle of Uma­
tilla, Baker, Harney, Grant, Union and
Morrow amounts to $6,187,447. Thus
the value of the cattle and the sheep of
eastern Oregon is $7,224,847.
W ILL Dia DPEP FOR WATER.
Orand Ronde Artesian Well Company Or­
ganized and Officers Elected.
I a Grande— A meeting was held at
Alicel last week by the Grande Ronde
citizens lor the purpose of organizing a
company to fest thoroughly the digging
of the artesian well. The meeting was
largely attended. J. M. Church was
elected chairman of the meeting and J.
D. Hmutz secretary.
It was d«N*ide<l to organize a capital
stock of $4,000, divided into shares of
$10 each, to be known as the Grand
Ronde Valley Artesian W ell company.
On adjournment of the general meet­
ing the directors met and elected F. 8.
Bramwell president, S. I. Brooks vice-
president, Peter McDonald secretary
and J. M. Church treasurer.
A well w ill be dug a depth of at least
2,000 feet unless water is struck before
digging this far, and the experiment
w ill be made on the sand ridge, near
Alicel.
Rushing to the Coal
Fields.
Prairie C ity— There is a big rush
through this place to the John Day
coal fields, which have recently been
discovered. Men are coming into the
conntry to investigate, and much of the
untaken land is being located. The
coal is said to be superior to that pro­
duced by the Heppner coal fields, and
there are indications that large depos­
its w ill be opened.
Croppings have
been discovered in many places. Sev­
eral thousand acres of the supposed
coal lands have been secured by pro­
moters, who are trying to get more.
