The board of equalization of Grant county met at the court house in Canyon City Saturday, and after hearing all complaints that came be fore the board the following findings were made: It appe..<ing to thy board after careful examination of the assess ment roll for the year of 1903 as re turned by the assessor that the said assessment roll is over one-third less than the assessment roll for the year 1902. and unless the assessment be raised to something near the assess ment value heretofore placed upon it. that it will require a levy of al least 12 miles in addition to the 31 mill levy of 1902, to defray the run ning expenses of the county, state school, bridge and road purposes And it further appearing to the board that all classes of property have been assessed at from 3o per cent to 50 per cent less and in some instances a larger per cent Than for the year 1902. and it further appear ing to the board that all non-tillable land should be raised from 75 cents per acre to $1.25 per acre; cattle frohi $10 per head to $12.50 per head; sheep from $1 per head to $1.25 per head; improvements on all real es tate, ditches, town lots and improve ments thereon, all timber land from 75 cents per acre to $2.50 eents per acre, and all classes of personal prop erty other than that hereinfore enum erated, including hogs, horses, mules, bank and mining stocks, monies, notes and accounts, merchandise, machinery, telephone lines and all othet classes of property should be raised at least one-third or 33 1-3 pel cent more than the present assess ment as now appears on the roll, and in some instances more; and that the said assessment for the year of 1903. on all classes of property should be raised such an amount. CHECKS WERE BAD. Madden Was Pinched for Allege« Petty Crime. James F. Gleason, alias William Madden, or Madden alias Gleason, perhaps, was taken into custody last night by Sheriff Taylor for attempt ing to pass checks which are proba bly forgeries. The name signed to the checks is “Edward Nesbia.” and whether it is a pure fabrication is not yet known. The checks were drawn on the Pendleton Savings Bank, the officials of which today aver that they never heard the name “Edward Nesbia' until it appeared on these checks. Such a person has no account at that bank, nor is he known to them any where. In addition to the check which Madden tried to get cashed he had two others on his person. All bore the same signature and were in the same amount—$15. When arrested last night Madden was attempting to get cash on one oi the checks at the Peoples Warehouse He had previously tried to get cast upon them at P. P. Collier's wood office, of B. F. Beck, the Office sa loon, and at Newman's cigar store. Madden is believed to have stolen a watch at McBroom A Gurdane* second-hand store yesterday, wffen he visited that firm in company with a supposed pal, who looked at goods while Madden is supposed to have swiped the watch. Sheriff Taylor says Madden came to Pendleton Wednesday last on the same train from the north upon which he himself came, and that he remem bers him. Madden represents him self as being from the Palouse coun try, which Mr. Taylor is inclined to think may be true. Madden is about 28 years old, rather good looking and fairly well dressed. While he may be a questionable character, he is not a hobo, nor of the cheapest type of swindler, though the offense alleged against him here was not far up the scale of Ingenuity either in concep • tion or execution. Madden is in jail with no one to vouch for him. SEEDING IN PROGRESS. Recent Rains Have Prepared the Ground Just Right for Fall Crops. E. B. McFarland, of Adams, is in the city today on business and pleas ure combined, and reports seeding in the vicinity of Adams in full bla3t. The recent rains have prepared the ground in excellent condition ani the farmers are taking advantage of it. One good feature of the rains is that it started the weeds to growing and in seeding they will be killed out al most entirely, where if the rains had not come before the fields were seeded, the weeds would have come up with the grain. The acreage of rail grain sown in the Adams district will be about the same as usual, and most of the farmers' summer fallow ing next year, will plant corn for the purpose of resting the land from the wheat crop. FOR A GUARDIAN. Court Is Asked to Appoint Sponsor for Joseph Perygne. Today is being heard in the countv court the matter of a petition by Messrs. Walker and Gilliand, mem bers of the court, to Judge Hartman for the appointment of a guardian for Joseph Perygne, of Milton. The pe- City Property We have H lots, fine garden land with orchard, windmill and independent water system, pipes all through premises. House and bam. 20 acres on river, good soil, 300 cords of wood, good house and tarn, V mile from Main street 7 lota good garden land. 90 bear ing fruit trees, grapes, etc., also gasoline engine, 5400 gal. tank, pipes all through premises House and bam, i mile from Main street 5 acres on Utopia flat, rich bottom land, house and bam, im- provemeuts for poultry purposes. 12 room lodging house, 2 lots 3 blocks from depot, 2 blocks from Main street. 10 loom lodging house, 2 lots, very cheap. 5 room house, 2 lots, shade trees, good lawn, East front; only $1,450. 4 room house, 2 lots, only $730. Others too numrrous to mention. Good wholesale aud retail busi ness on Main street, stock at invoice. E. T. Wade & Son P. O. Box 324 Office in E. O. Bld tition alleges that Perygne. who was 21 years of age August 14. is ubn compos mentis, and therefore inca pable of property taking care of some land to which he tell heir th' day he leached his majority. The petition sets forth that the property, which is land, is worth $4,000, whereas it ap pears that on August 13 Perygne sold it for $3,000. Up to the time he came of age W. J. Chastain was his guardian, and the allegation is made that the sale of land was made without his auth ority or consent. Therefore the valid ity of the sale will probably be in volved. The petition asks for the appoint ment of C. C. Watson to be Perygue's guardian. Hailey & Lowell represent the petitioners, and J. T. Hinkle is :epresenting Perygne. who stoutly maintains that he is of sound mind and that he did not sell the land for less than its real value. W. P. TEMPLE WILL HAUL WATER NO MORE. Struck an Inexhautible Flow in a Well 75 Feet Deep on Despain Gulch Farm—Has Hauled Water 14 Years and Drilled 20 Wells, Spend ing in the Search for Water Over $6,000. For 14 years W. P. Temple, who resides seven miles northwest of the ity. in the Despjan gulch district, has hauled water from the Umatilla river, a distance of seven miles, for household and stock purposes, in the Iry season. He had drilled 20 wells in that lime, averaging from 40 to 200 feet in depth, and has spent $5,000 in hunting for a permanent water supply an his 2,000-acre wheat farm. This week he struck a flow of water at a depth of 75 feet, which promises to be inexhaustible, and in this water supply has found a small fortune, for the expense and worry of hauling water on a large farm is something great Mr. Temple is elated with his fine, and well may be, for it adds much to the value of his property, and more co the convenience of his home. He will install a gasoline engine and pump, the first of the week to test the supply of water in his new well. At present, he cannot perceptibly lower the water, which is now eight .eet deep, by pumping it out at the rate of eight gallons per minute. The water is of the best quality, and from all appearances is endless ■n quantity. Other farmers in the same district who have hauled water from the river for years, will take hope trom Mr. Temple's good ortune and a revival of well boring will be experienced in that vicinity. J. G. Richardson, of the Cold Springs district, has also found a good supply >t water on his farm at a depth of 270 feet SEEDING 100 ACRES A DAY. Work on the Temple Farm Progress ing in a Satisfactory Manner. W. P. Temple is now seeding 100 teres of fall wheat per day. and has 2.000 acres to seed on his Despain Gulch farm, seven miles northwest trom the city. The ground is in excellent condi tion for seeding and most of the armers n that vicinity are now busy while the weather is favorable. In that district as in otner portions of he county. <he weed crop will be ompletely ku.ed out by seeding the land. Goes to SL Louis.

IS THOUGHT TO HAVE SEPARATED KAMELA FAMILY. Worked in the Woods in This Coun ty in 1901—Found Sauntering on Front Street in Portland, but Dis claims any knowledge of Mrs. Murchison. "Nigger Tom," who is said to have eloped with a Mrs. Murchison of Sum- n. rville iLBt week, has been lecated ty Portland police in that city, but no woman was found with him and he disclaims any knowledge of Mrs. Murchison's whereabouts. When found he was sauntering on Front street, seemingly unoccupied, and was at ouce taken to police head quarters. ’■■here he affected -e great est surprise upon hearing that he was accused of eloping with a white woman from 1st Grauue. Having no warrant for him. the police were ob liged to turn him loose. He will oe shadowed unto his white paramour is found, it the is in Portland.

Trzincski was a hard working wood chopper, with some means, and mar ried a Polish woman, whom he found through e matrimonial agency in •-ortl^nd. She tad been married several times before, and was a very comely woman of middle age. She came to l.a Grande from Port land and no: uaving means to buy her ticket to Kamela, walked the distance. 19 miles, in one day. and was met by Trzincsy.i. They lived together on his claim three miles from Kamela for about one year, leading seem .ng ly happy lives.

CITY RECORDS UP IN SMOKE. Baker City Council Chamber Burns With Its Contents. Baker City. Oct. 12.—(Special to the East Oregonian.)—The old city hall, containing 37 years' records of the municipality of Baker City, was destroyed by fire at 9:30 Saturday night. The old building has been consid ered a fire trap for years and »M recently moved to one side of the city hall premises to make room for the new $40,000 hall now being built. At the urgent request of the citi zens the city books were to be ex- , perted and the accountants wet« in ' the midst of this work at the time ; of the fire. The old safe was too small to hold all the city records and some of the most valuable of the city papers were left outside. It is openly declared by many prominent citizens that the fire was started by some one interested .n having the records out of the way The new hall will be completed in about another month and the city beadquarters will then be second to none in Eastern Oregon, but the loss of the records will throw the city government into temporary chaos PAINTING STATE CAPITOL.

TWO IRRIGATION CONVENTIONS IN ONE Last night the committee from the Commercial Club—€. J. Smith. J. F. Robinson and E. P. Dodd—and a committee from the business men in general—T. C. Taylor. L Cohen and Judge Hartman—met to make a program and arrange other details as far as possible for the forthcom ing convention of the State Irrigation Association at this place. At the meeting Judge Hartman announced his intention of calling a meeting of the Columbia Valley Irrigation Asso ciation for the same time and place. This action settles it that the two associations will be supplementary to each other, which will vastly in crease the efficiency of both. It is highly probable that Governor Chamberlain and also Governor Mor rison will be present. It is not yet positively known that they will be here, but both declare their purpose to be here if unforseen circumstances do not prevent. The probabilities are that both will be present. Those to Speak. Among other notables whose pres ence is as good as settled upon, are W. R. King, of Ontario; A. Devers, of Portland, president of the State Association; Professor Leckenby, of Union; John T. Whistler, of the geo logical survey; Pierce Mays; Speaker Harris, of Eugene; Profesosr Young, of the State University, and who is also a member of the 1 j > w I s and Clark exposition committee. Mr. Myers definitely promised Senator Smith, the last time: they met, to be present. Nearly all the remainder of those mentioned will positively be here. Among the active workers who are engaged with the committees named in arranging details are Judge W R. Ellis, W. F. Matlock, Senator Pierce and Mayor Hailey. These form a supplementary committee. All the general sessions of the con vention will be held In the court house. Il is possible that the recep tion which will be given Governors Chamberlain and Morrison will be held elsewhere.
