' ' doBtortnoan For uulldlng The motion ,iiled by the coanty cohrt! aatting for the (lis8oltition( of the injunction against them in the new court house case, was argued before Judg Iradshaw in chambers at The Dalles, last week, and the: decision, of the Judge ouotains all the material points raided : by the plaintiff, Charles S. Ben son, of Bend, and other pro testing taxpayers. ;j The decision was all that the plaintiff bould ask, in that it emphasises the limit of the; county courts authority in; incurring indebtedness in the construction of a new court house, the county court being perpetually ( enjoined from "building-, or constructing a court house or from making or entering into any contract for the erection or construction of said court house or auy part thereof, whereby an indebted ness will be incurred or created against said county exceeding the sum of live thousand dollara." At the time the injunction suit was . brought against the county court, it was apparent th.it t,hey were about to let a contract for a new and expen sive court house building, with ut consulting the taxpayers ol the county as to the advisabil ity of such a move, and in fac without giving any opportunity to get an expression from the people in the county on so im portant a matter. Tina .'Call for b.ds was published in the clas sified ad department of a Port- and daily, where it was onij by accident that it was discov ered by interested taxpayers in this county, and all mention of the purpose of the county court hud been religiously kept out of the county papers. So quietly was the county taourtj laying ita plans for the con-; struction of a new and expen-? sive court house building at Prinevilie, that even in. that town prominent business men knew, nothing of, the intention of the court. When, this in tentioji, was discovered, the date upon which contracts were to be let was less than.. two weeks off, and. as it was too late to get an ex pression from the taxpayers of, the county sufiiciently strong in its character to influence the county courts some prpmpt action and stringent measures were necessary. .Uuder tuese conditions the injunction suit was brought by Charles S. Benson,, of Bend, who repre sented the protesting taxpayers of the county in the euit. At the hearing in The Dalles, it was -shown that the county now has on hand, less than $7000 available for a new court house building, aud that this amount of $7000 is the only money available also for the payment of the county's gener al expenses for the remainder of the fiscal year. The ex penses of the c'punty for the same period, last year amonnted to $11,000, and if they .are as great this year, there wou6;4 be a deficit in the county treasury of $4000, even without any ex penditure for a new court house or even a "foundation." Uner, these oiroumst&nces, it is diffi cult to discover a process by which the county court can let any contract for any portion of a new court house at this time, as thoy are enjoined from in curring any indebtedness to exceed $5000.- The discovery of the purpose of the county court to build a new court house without con sulting them has aroused the taxpayers all over the county, and hundreds of protests have been filed agaiust the building of a new court house at this time. The injunction suic served to give publicity to tlm matter, and investigations made in gathering data in support of the suit have shown a condition of affairs under which t would be impossible to build a new court house V?ithout a violation of the constitutional inhibition. This investigation has also un earthed some tai'-methoda em ployed by ifye county court which have set the people to thinking. Last year there wan approximately 3,0'0'0,000 of property on the (ax list, and the tax levy was 21 mills'. This year the amouut 6ft property I -1 t-t-Jl -T !.t -! t huh uuuuieu, aim wun six mil lions of property oh the .list, ij; is now proposed to reduce the levy only one and a half mills. When it is known that the in crease in property is due large ly to the increased valuation placed upon it by the tax assessor, in many instances the valuation being nearly doubled-, it can be seen that, instead of growing less as they should, raxes in this county will be al most doubled should the plan outlined by County Judge Bell be carried out. This is the state of affairs which made the injunction suit necessary, and against which a large majority of the taxpayers of the county were protesting. When Crook coun ty is in a condition, financial ly, which will justify uch au expenditure, there will be no ohjection raised to,..a reasonable expenditure for new buildings, but the taxpayers of the county are 'protesting against the piling up of. taxes onto their shoulders for tjlie purpose of gratifying Prjneville's am bition for, new buildings. In thet hearing at The Dalles the plain (iff was represented by AV. II. Wilson, an attor ney of The Dalles, while 11,. R. Elliott, of Prinevilie, was present to represent the county court. LAST OF WOOL SALES Moro than four-million pounds of wool lias been marketed at Sliaulko, this eeusou, nil this amouut being sold oy me puoito sealed bias .plan, which has again demonstrated, I to ma,uy ad vantages over the old tuauuar of pri vate sales. This wool brought in tho neighborhood of 20 cents per'pouud on an uv.eruge, and this means that about $800,000 was put into ' 'circulation among the sheepmen of Crook and Wasco counties, as most of tho wool marketed at Shuniko is produced in those two counties. (. In addition to the wool marketed p! Shaniko, the sheepmen of Wasco aud Orwok delivered in the neighborhood of 120,000 heud of sheep af. Bnauiko, for shipment, tbt-io shciep having brought them au averane'of $2.75 per bead. The past year half been uuo of ho best aud most prosperous th&t thu abeepmen of tho state have ever tO'yed.
