Totals
In order that these figures may be in
telligible to the general reader. Treasurer
Moore states that the money that goes
into the general fund is chiefly derived
rom state taxes, only about 310,000 being
obtained from the sale of Supreme Court
reports, and session laws, from insurance
licenses. Supreme Court fees, etc The
total tax levy for 1900, that is, on the
1899 assessment, was over 5758,000, and
599,QQa having been paid in, there re
mains to be collected during the second
half of this year about 5152,000.
The common school fund principal is
derived from the sale of school lanfl, and,
this constitutes what is commonly known
as the irreducible school fund. It ap
pears that disbursements have been made
from this fund, but this money has sim
ply been drawn from the treasury to be
loaned out. None of this money is ever
expended and any losses that may be
sustained through bad loans are made
up by drawing upon the common school
fund interest. This Interest Is the money
collected upon loans and constitutes the
fund that is divided among the counties
annually, on the 1st of August, accord
ing to school population. A reference to
the balance sheet shows that last year
at this time there was of the common
school fund Interest the sum of 5178,973 56.
One month later, when the fund was dis
tributed, the amount had grown to 5199,
805 88, the largest sum ever divided for
that purpose. It will be noticed that this
year the balance Is still greater, 5185,- I
633 23. and if the fund shall continue to J
grow as it did last year, there should i
be over 5220,000 to distribute on August 1.
This, however, is only an estimate, and j
school officials will do well not to count
their money until they get It.
The great Increase In the interest fund
is explained by the fact that in the im
proving condition of the country the bor
rowers have found It easier to pay the
interest due, and many have paid back
Interest in order to take advantage of the
reduction to 6 per cent. f
The statement shows that thera Is a
small balance to the credit of the 5 per
cent land sale fund. This money is 5 per
cent of the proceeds of the sales of pub
lic land In Oregon, and was disbursed
among the counties on the basis of acre
age. The balance Is due to tho failure of
somo counties to cash their warrants.
The Agricultural College funds, and the
University funds are handled In the same
manner as the common school fund.
While thero Is a balance ot $2336 50 In
the awamp land fund, tiere are war
rants outstanding against this fund to.
the amount of 540,000. The warrants are.
large and are called In as fast as money
accumulates to pay them. The next war
rant in order amounts to about 55000, and
tho money must be held until that sum
accumulates. These warrants were Issued
to repay money paid to the state for
land To which it could not give title.
The next Legislature will be asked to
provide some way of paying these war
rants, and thereby shut off the 8 per cent
Interest they bear.
The state scalp bounty fund Is in much
the same condition and tho money on
hand will probably never be sufficient to
pay the outstanding warrants. As fast
as money accumulates calls for war
rants are made.
The total of balances shows that there
Is $145,107 29 more in the treasury now
than at the same time last year.

from the crew of men at work at the
coal deposits a. sample of bituminous coal
which has been pronounced by all who
have examined It as promising exceed
ingly well for the finding of sufficient to
warrant mining it. As yet, the work that
has been done is. merely prospecting. No
one knows whether the, claims will be
worth anything, or will pinch out to
nothing. But, ao far as the work has
progressed, the showing has been of such
a character as to give some foundation
for the hope that the Birch Creek mines
will solve the coal problem for this sec
tion of country.
The samples Just brought in to this
place are about three inches thick and
are quits, pure coal. It has been tried
as fuel and burns finely. The men who
are at work have found successive strata
of cool, slate, sandstone and a soft sub
stance like the coal, but which crumbles
"Khen removed, from, the ground.
It is understood here that across the
Columbia River from Hood River, in the
State of Washington, and in the Cascade
Mountains, has for some time been known
a" deposit of the finest quality of anthra
cite coal, which assays fully JO per cent
carbon. Tho coal is Immeasurably su
perior to any other coal ever before
found on the Pacific Coast, but it is said
to be in a place practically inaccessible.
The question of this coal being worth
mining has been settled beyond all doubt,
so It Is. stated here by persons who have
given the matter attention. And somo
believe that means will be devised wjhere
by. it will be possible to mine. it. Various
methods of constructing, tramways upon
which the product could be transported to
a, pla.ee. from where It could be snippet
have been considered, hut as yet none
have been regarded as feasible. There
are mining men who believe that in
time, and that a time not far distant.
thes,e anthracite, coat beds will he send
ing out their output of fuel to the rail
roads and manufacturing Industries of
tho north coast.
The railroad companies are, keeping
close watch of all the developments here
abouts, and will encourage the enterprises
so soon as It is demonstrated that there
is coal sufficient to warrant establish
ing permanent mines.

fAVORABLE FOR GRAIN
WASCQ AND SHERalAN WHEAT
BELT WI1X YIELD WELL.
Kxea Vqlnntccx Fields Will Gie
Largre Hazrrest Kev Methods In
troduced From, the. Valley.
MORO, Or,. July a, Through the entire
section of country from here to The
Dalles, the cry among the ranchers Is
"harvest hands." The wavfng grain
fields are. now ripe, and the hay is suffcr
ingt and It would seem that mucfi will ps
lost for want pf help v harvest From
51 50 to 52 50 is. being offered, and even
mpr-e. but it appears useless, as the men
are not here. Unless they come from
some other section of country it will be
impossible to harvest the crops.
Last year, at this season men were out
of work, and came here by the hundreds,
and as a consequence overdid the thing.
Wages dropped down, many went away
without getting employment and as a
consequence did not return this year. But
there is no danger of an overplus this
year. i
Notwithstanding the shortage in hands,
every rancher wears a broad smile. Such
crops have not been produced here be
fore In many years. Upon every hand
great waving fields of grain greet the
eye. The hay was never better. If the
weather had been ordered It could not be
better. Even the wind Is helping things
along. When the wind blows from the
East here it dries and parches vegetation
in a snort time rulna It m its ripening
state. When it blows from the west it
comes right off of Mount Hood, they say,
and brings moisture and vigor with it,
apd grain and hay grows right along and
ripens Just right It is blowing from the
west now, and has been for weeks, and
things, never looked more favorable than
now.
'A great many Valley farmers have re
cently come into this country and opened
farms. They brought some of their old
webfoot Ideas with them. They have been
doing deep plowing, and as a result they
point to great fields of grain where grain
hiuj never been grown before so success
fully. Whether it is the favorablo weath
er and the rains or sot tho Webfooters
claim that it lies in deep plowing.
Throughout this entire section wheat
will average 20 bushels to the acre, and
hay will yield two tons to the acre. In
many cases they will yield much more,
but this Is a safe average.
The "volunteer" wheat crop this season
Is a greater success than for years. The
stand is good and the grain well filled
out This is the best grade of wheat
grown, and this year many "volunteer"
fields will ield 30 bushels to the acre.
A volunteer wheat field is one not sown,
but simply seeded from the waste of the
previous year. When the season Is fa
vorable, plenty of rain, eta, the rancher
plows under this last season's stubble,
and In case of a hit it produces the best
quality of grain. The grain Is larger, bet
ter developed and brings a better price
than any other. This year the volunteer
crop is a pleasing success.
For some time there has been a regular
monthly sale of horses at this place. They
hare been bringing good prices, and
many sales have been made, but the reg
ular sale on last Saturday showed that
the market is either supplied, or the value
in horses Is shrinking. Thirty bead were
advertised to be sold at auction. Only
four were sold, and these brought only
520 to 530. It Is far below former prices,
and the sale -seems tq.be off.
The Terra of Moro.
Captain W. Stanley, County Treasurer
of Sherman County, handed In to the
local papers yesterday notice calling in
the last of the outstanding warrants
against the county. When these are
paid, Sherman County will not owe a
dollar in the world. There is a surplus
on hand adequate to meet all probable:
expenses besides. This, too, after hav
ing built a 56CO0 Courthouse within the
past 12 months, which was accepted last
ApriL With the best wheat crops for
years, good weather for harvesting, the
county out of debt and the price of wheat
rising, and prospects for better prices
'than for years, the Sherman County
farmers are happy,
Moro. the county seat is one of the
best towns for its slse In this section of
the country. Just now everything Is lively
tln preparation for the harvest which
'will begin In earnest In about 10 days.
The scarcity of hands Is the only thing
in the wayof the great harvest Every
blacksmith shop and the machine shop
at Moro nre busy getting the machinery
In shape. The greatest harvest in the
history of the county will soon be on.
The population of Moro, as estimated
from the census returns, is 400. The town
is regularly Incorporated, and owns its
water system. The water Is supplied
from wells, and the supply Is ample. With
the present pressure, three streams from
the fire hose can be kept pouring on any
building in tho town. Arrangements
are also made In cases of fire for the
town pump to begin Immediately, and
this doubles the force and supply. Moro
has 4 general stores, 1 bank, 2 news
papers, 3 churches (Baptist Presbyterian
and Methodist), 2 hotels, 2 livery tablei,
1 machine shop, 3 blacksmith shops, 2
millinery establishments, 2 drug stores,
2 meat markets, 1 furniture and undertak

tlonery establishments, 1 shoo shop, 1
barber shop, 1 Jewelry store, 1 feed mill, 1
laundry, 1 photographer, 1 brickyard, 1
lumber yard, an opera-house, where all
the leading fraternal societies meet; 2
lawyers, 2 physicians. 2 dentists, teles
graph, telephone and express offices.
Moro Is a prohibition town In a way.
Intoxicants are not supposed to be sold
here, but. Hko all prohibition towns, It
Is said that prohibition docs not always
prohibit here.
A Postal Clerk has been put on the Co
lumbia Southern Railroad mail car from
