Z-. The proposition to accept a portion of he tax money and allow the courts to 'settle the disputed questions of interest and just assessment was not adverted to, .for the reason that the' same ground was .srone over a year or more ago and it yias regarded aa but the begining of an other cycle in tax negotiations that had 'almost reached the opera bouffe stage.

Through arbitration was Jong ago completed and the company paid he amount of the finding, $187,000, some .months ago, no offer tiaa been made to 2ay the 1908 tax. i - ELY TO FLY m SUTHERLIN TenKTlty Planned to House Visitors ;u to Aviation Meet. SUTHERLIN, Or.. May 9. The com mittee on aviation, which has the aerial meet to be held in this city May 17, IS and 19 in charge, has completed definite arrangements with E. B. Ely to make two flights dally with his Curtlss machine. Mr. Ely is an expe rienced aviator. By this arrangement there will be at least four flights on each day of the meet, weather permit ting, and the first affair of its kind in Oregon outside of Portland prom ises to be a great success. Mr. Ely likes the location of the grounds from which the machines will rise, and the protection which the high, fir-clad hills will afford from heavy winds. The Sutherlin Valley, being seven miles long and a mile or more in width, and very level, makes an ideal place for flights. Everything that can be done for the comfort and amusement of the crowds is being accomplished, and the people of Sutherlin Valley extend a cordial invitation to all. An immense dining hall has been erected where a caterer will feed the visitors, and this, in ad dition to the hotel and boarding houses, together with a tent city for sleeping quarters, will amply supply the an ticipated visitors during their stay.

The city re cently voted bonds to the amount of 15,J0O for a water Bupply which Is deemed to be sufficient, and fTre taxpay ers would not be willing to go to a greater expense.

'I asked Morris why he did not dis pose of the horse," said he, "and told him the horse would kill him some day. Morris said he was afraid of the horse, had received an offer of $100 for him, and thought he would take the money. It seems that he postponed the sale too long."
