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. "

City Council Meeting
Continued from llrst pax'
company for approval by the coun
cil. Hie same were read and ap
proved.
One election board was considered
sufficient to handle the ballots at
tho city election December 21. The
mayor named the following officers:
Judges I. W. Ward, T. II Lafol-
letto and Robert Zevely.
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.

Action In Latin Amarica.
naif a dozen men In the lobby of a
New York hotel were dlscnsnlng tbe
frequency of revolutions and assassin
ations In Mexico and other Latin Amer
ican countries. 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 !

and hold one of his arms straight up

and giving the Impression that his fist j

ceived was oue bullet through his !
baud. I
The traitors, having figured that six ;
of them shooting at him would be sure j
to kill him, did not have extra car- j
tridges. When he stood up and threw
off the flag their companions arrested
them. j
"You must have your baud dressed," .
suggested one of the officers, seeing '
the blood flowing from the president's
wonud. i
"I'll do that" said nnrera. "as soon j
as these traitors have been executed." i
He bad them lined up In front of the !
paluce and gave the word that result-!

THINGS THAT NEVER DIE.
The pure, the bright, the bau

The Impulses to wordless prayer,
The streama of leva and truth;
The lunglug after something
lost,
The spirit's yearning cry,
Tbe striving after better hopes
These tlilnga can never die.
Tbe timid band stretched forth
to aid
A brother In his need;
A kindly word In griefs dark
bonr
That proves a friend indeed;
Tbe plea for mercy softly
breathed.
When Justice threatens high.
The sorrow of a contrite heart
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every band
Must find some work to do;
Lose not a chance to waken
firm and just and true;
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee
"These things shall never die.
