Made fresh every day fa ou own factory. 843 Commercial Street This bill is submitted under the in itiative for the following, among other, reasons: A county is a public corporation and it is apparent that section 2 of article XI, of the Constitution of Oregon, as amended, reserves to the people the right to create a county by initiative vote. There is no general law for the creation of counties now, and no one knows when, if ever, there will be one. The facts as to area, population and assessed valuation show that we are able to maintain a county govern ment. Out of a population of about 7,500 the desire of a county for the Hood River country is earnest and unanimous with the exception of a small fraction of one per cent. We are assured by leading citizens of The Dalles, Dufur and other portions of Wasco county that they have no ob jections to the creation of Hood River County as proposed in this bill. More than 400 residents of The Dalles and Durfur have signed the petitions ask ing that this bill be submitted to a vote at the June election, though fortv-five names from Dufur were re ceived too late to be filed with the Secretary of State. The people of the Hood River country therefore ask favorable con sideration of the voters of the State upon this bill for these, among other reasons: Because the new county will" be a great benefit to the people residing therein and will facilitate the transac tion of their county business. Because as the law stands a county cannot be created by the Legislature; and finally, Because the people of The Dalles and the balance of Wasco County are willing that Hood River County may be created as provided in this bill. The assessed valuation in the pro posed Hood River County in 1903 was $908,568.00; in 1906 was ?l,618,t)u, showinsr a Eain in valuation from 1903 to 1906 of $710,102.00, or about 78 per cent. The valuation in 1907 was $2, 762,250.00; a gain over 1906 of $1,143, 580.00, or about 70 per cent, showing the proportionate increase in one year irom ivuo to yrji iv uc iuw as great as that in three years from 1903 to 1906. The proposed Hood River County has a population of about 7,500; aa area of about 500 square miles; and twenty school houses, seven of which are graded schools having from twe to eight rooms each and with a $30, 000.00 high school under construction. There will be left in Wasco County, after Hood River County is created. an area of 1,646 square miles, a popu lation of 11,500; and a valuation of $5,457,720.00, thus leaving it among the largest and strongest counties ol the State.
