LANE COUNTY COMPARISON Albany, or., Keb s, 1900 Editor Journal' 1 see some dis suasion In your ntWsy Journal relative to the rate levy of Linn county for 1809; possibly some of our Marlon county friend- do not understand In exact Condition of the finances of Linn county, hence, with your permission I will give i he exact status of ourcoun ty's finances as shown by the records on January 1, 1900.

I estimate t he expenses ol the coun ty for the current year at $35,000, be cause that is about an averageof the past three years of e unty expenditure. The cxac'. amount expended during 1897 was $31,166.64, and there is no good reason why it should be materi ally increased beyond that s:im during the current year. 1 take it that the error made by some of your people rt garding this natter is, they take no account of the surplus in hands of trea-urer and uncollected tax on roll of 1898. I believe it to be unqualified robbery to take from the people one cent more by taxation than is absolute ly required to pay current expenses, economically incurred, and feeling certain that 2 85 mills will provide revenue sufficient for all county pur poses for the year 1900, the couuty court fixed that an a levy. Linn couuty has not stamped a -in gle warrtnt during the past four years. Total levy for 1896 13 mills Total levy for 1897 12J mills Total levy for 1898 18J mills Total levy lor 1899 Hi mills QUO, D.

Cltj of Eugene In Trouble. Dairy aesrd, ib jo The Oregonlau of today comments tnuslyi "The freak steamer City of EugOM, ! was tied up i f the United slHtes luar-i shal yesterday, to satisfy a claim held by Parser Gray, The oaraet ol tios steamer has been a continued hard luck Story from the time IbS was launched. Hlie was neither beautiful, economical or fast, and accordingly was handicapped In the race lot busi ness on the river. Bha was modeled after the style of boats in service on the Mississippi i . lull the wall,' and it was he kept enced slcamhoaiman that moving a long as she has." Eugtueer Isaac tlray, Informs us that the crew libeled tbe boat for $1879.71 wagesdue, yesterday morning, Thomas A Chamberlain being their attorneys. He says she does not owe over $100 In bills lu Portland. She now lies at tbe city levy, ladng under the supervision of the IT. H. marshal, with Lou Moore as watchman. Mr. Uray sa,s that the crew must la' paid from the first sale's money, claims next, mortgage, and stockholders coming on farther down tbe line. Of course stock holders get nothing; they never do. It I likely she will be sold Id about 30 days. A small bill for $.'15 was the Immediate cause of the trouble, tbe amount belug owed to the Port- T faced land Awning Co." Our business men became tired of putting money Into tbe vendue, hence the above result.
