Budget Day at the County Court All parts of tin) county wero rep resented Wednesday at the budget muttling of tho county court. Iicnd hud a stronic delegation, so uIho did lio limmd and Madrus. Tim I'uulina country wuii well represented as well an tho Uchoco valley. Commissioners f'.rown and Duylcy were on hand early, hut Judge Kprlnger lout a day In hlct reckoning and did not fret hen to hold court until noon, llo whs brought tn tank for hlH tardiness by George Russell, and after agreeing to pay for the expense of sending for him, the meeting proceeded. Judge Springer explained that an item hail been unintentionally omit ted from the county budget that carried tha exiienses of tho county agricultural expert. H would cont the county fl,r00. He said ho was in favor of retaining tho expert and thought much good would result from his labors. After considerable discussion it wan put to a vote which stood 20 for and 24 against. Rep resentatives from Bend and Red mond canto out strong for agricul tural instruction, but the big ranch owners opposed. The road budget called for much tulk. Some favored the tlO.OOOcalled for in tho Budget, but others wanted more. Some thought it was false economy to let things slide after upending so much on roads last year. (!uod speeches were made on both sides. Tho county court made an order that all unused road warrants be called In and cancelled. It is thought this step will save the county f 10.000. Tho judge explained that a road book is to bo kept in which all moneys given road supervisors and all work performed by them will be accurately cheeked up. By this method it is hoped to prevent a great deal of waste. The widows' pension fund was gone over and the methods of grunting pensions explained. Judge Springer stated that he tried to be very careful and cut down every item wherever possible. Ho would be pleased to get suggestions at any time and thought it the duty of the public to Inform him if anyone were getting money from the county who were not entitled to it. The assessor, watermaster, sur veyor, sheriff and school superin tendent were called to make explan ations about their respective budgets. Mr. Kelley, surveyor-elect, stated thatllOOO could be cut from the surveyor's budget if the books of tho oflice were kept where thev be' longed by the county clerk. Then there would be no need of hiring a clerk to stay in the office. Other savings wero pointed out by Mr. Kelley. If new roads were created by resolutions as under the new law, the services of road viewers would not bo necessary. Crook county has been working under the old law. Tho court will adopt the change. The official proceedings of the court will he published next week so that wo need not go into further details. ( Bend Has a $10,000 Fire Bond had a f 10,000 fire Sunday niglfl. The wind was blowing a gale, and it was only tho very ef - ficient fire-fighting service that saved the town. The fire, starting from a defective flue, destroyed the entire Mutzig vjlock. Tho structure was of frame, and the most that could ' be done was to confine the flames to the building itself, which was done. The real estate firm of Henkle & Ryan was the heaviest loser. It lost its maps and corres pondence, as well as all its office furniture. N. P. Weidler's paint Btore and the automobile supply house of C. C. Henkle were also total losses. All were partially covered by insurance. " WANTED : Addresi of any of the Clark heirs who have homestead on Little Deschutes river. Mtb. Chirk married a Cbai. O'Noil. Address L.

Clerks Floyd Rowell, John New- som and II- A. Kelley, Mrs. Lively was granted an ex tension of time to build her side walk on East P. street. Councilman Foster was instructed to have tho city water wagon painted, Councilmen Elkins and Ward, of the finance committee, reported an H mill levy for city purposes next year. Chairman hlkins stated that it would necessitate a little economy to get along without issuing war rants, but he thought that would be a good deal better at this time than to have a surplus which would in variably be spent for something The council thought likewise and approved tho report. City Attorney Duffy was instruct ed to aptwur for council before the county court December 2d and pro test against the policy of the court in collecting road money. All in corporated towns get thedoublecross when road expenses are paid out of the general fund. This is not only Illegal, but it amounts to a double taxation. Taxed by the county to keep up roads and taxed by the city to keep up bridges and streets. 1'rinevilio must soon put in a new bridge over the Oehoco, and if it had the road money illegally con tributed to the general fund for road purposes, it could lie built without cost to the city- The city will bring suit if the county court persists in its illegal methods.

A short, dumpy little Englishman, who bad a cold, gray eye, told this: In a country which we will call Do mala there was a president whom we will call Harem. He bad made It tbe i custom, by official proclamation, for the guard of honor, which consisted of sons of prominent families of bis coun try, to present arms whenever be emerged from the presidential palace. While tbe men and officers presented arms, the standard bearer raised the great flag and exclaimed: "Viva HareraT Teople who wanted Harera put out of business bribed the standard bearer and six members of the guard of honor to assassinate btm. Tbe plan was that, when be came C2t of tbe palace tbe standard bearer was to hold np the flag, shout "Viva Dumalar and throw the heavy banner over the president While he was knocked down and blind ed by the folds of the flag, the six traitors were to shoot at him. At tbe appointed time Harera came out The standard bearer, holdlne bis flag aloft shouted "Viva Dumala!" and burled the banner over the president I tbe folds of It enveloping blm aud i throwing him. i The traitors, seeing him helpless on ! the ground, fired at his head under j the hiinner.
