t PRINEVILLE, . OREGON
The counties of the state of Ore
gon will be called upon in lvU7 to
par nearly double the amount of
state tazea they did in 1906. Thia is
due largely to the fact that in 1906
no levy was made for appropri
ations to the amount of over $371,-
000 held up by the referendum on
the omnibus appropriation bill.
The items of these appropriations
must be included in the levy for
1907. The amount of money need
ed for state purpees in 1907 will
be approximately $1,500,000 of
hich $400,000 will be raised from
indirect sources or retained from
unexpended appropriations, leaving
$1,100,000 to be apportioned
among the several counties. Crook
county's share of this is $13,325,
bile only $8125 was raised in
1905. The total aeseesable wealth
of Crook county is a little
lees than $5,900,000. Our county
court at its meeting last week
made the following levy:
For state and county purposes 8
mills.
Cieneral school fund 3 mills.
Road fund (excluding Prine
ville) 1 mills.
Crook County High School 1
fund mill.
Thia makes a total of 15 mills
for state and county purposes.
If you live within the corporate
limits of the city of Prineville you
must add 11 mills more i. e., 5
mills for district school purposes
and a levy of 6 mills for city pur
poses. The city council made the
levy for Prineville and the people
living in the school district voted
the tax for school purposes.
Thus, for state, county and
city 26 mills will be the levy. If
you live in the country 15 mills
will square the tax bill.

Commissioner of Indian Affaire
Leupp has transmitted to the secre
tary of the interior a report on the
legislation for the exchange of
lands of the Klamath Indian reser
vation which completely exoner
ates Senator Fulton of Oregon
from any personal interest in the
matter.
Senator Fulton intends to push
criminal proceedings against the
Cosmopolitan, which charged him
with aiding Weyerhauser in un
lawfully obtaining lands. Pro
ceedings in the case are temporarily
suspended on account of District
Attorney Baker's being injured in
the Terra Cotta railroad wreck

Nailing a board acrosa the top
of the doorway of his lonely Grant
county home, Leon Battig, a half
invalid bachelor, living by him
self on the old Keeney ranch,
looped a piece of clothesline over
the board and let himself strangle
to de&Sti, says dispatch to the
Telegram.
Battig's suicide was a curious
one, being executed in such a way
that he could have called it off at
any time before unconsciousness
set in, as the loop was so arranged
that by hands or feet he could
have gotten his toes on the floor
and have freed himself. When
found, after the body had been
hanging probably several days, the
knees were touching the floor.
Hans Hanson found him. On
calling at the cabin and opening
the door, he was astonished to be
hold the face of the man he came
to see swaying at a rope's end.
Battig must have had extraordi
nary resolution.
Baltig had just sold his ranch
for $4500, but he owed the state
$1000 on it, the purchase having
been school land, and by the terms
he was not to get any of the money
for two years. In addition, he suf
fered from stomach trouble, and it
is supposed he decided not to wait
and suffer.
The Coroner's jury verdict was
death from an "unknown cause."

Paying from the grass roots down.
The property consists of 33 claims in the South
eastern part of Crook county, on the head waters of
the Ochoco river. There is an abundance of water
for power purposes and some of the best timber in the
county is located on these claims. The economic con
ditions for mining could not be better.
, The mines are now on a paying basis, but with
additional machinery they can be made a big dividend
payer as the output can be doubled with very little
additional cost of labor. In order to install this ma
chinery the management has decided to issue 10,000
shares of Treasury Stock. This stock will in all
probabilities be the last offered for sale. It will be
sold at $1.00 per share. There is no deviating from
this price. That the stock will increase in value is a
certainty. You can find no better place to invest
your money. If you desire to get in on this you will
have to do so at once, as this stock was put on the
market in order to give the residents of the county a
chance to realize something from an investment in
one of their own properties.
This is not a speculation at all but a sound business
investment based upon ascertained facts. The mine
has been developed beyond the experimental stage.
About the best recommendation we can give these
mines is that the men employed by the company are
investing their savings in the purchase of this stock.
Also such men as Clark, Daly, Fair, Haggin, and a
host of others have made their money from mines and
the development of them.
