IDA I '"I Tho waterman Is having a hard time this month, and is having to stand all kinds of kicks, somo of them just and many of them unjust. Tho first of May the meters were read for tho first time since November. The last of the month they were read ngnln, and as a result of this and of tho warm weather und tho irrigation, many of tho bills mount up. As a re sult, the people who have been pay ing a dollar a month during tho win tre are somewhat surprised when they aro asked for ?5. In several Instances, however, tho kick ls on the other side, and thero are strained relations between tho commission and the consumer. Some parties have been anticipating the coming of spring and summer when tho lawns and the garden will need niuchiwalcr, and havo had Ilttlo pipes put In around tho meter, so that when tho hose Is turned on the water will pass around and no record of Us consumption will be made. The water superintendent has tumbled to those Ilttlo schemes In several cases und has shut tho water off When questions were asked he explained the situation, assessed up the dama ges at what ho thought was about right without undervaluing the amount of water used, and mado the schemore pay the oxtra amount, cut out their special pipes and promise to bo good. One treatmont Is .enough, so It ls said, and one experiment has so far convinced the people that It Is Impossible to bunco the waterman. France Will Mediate. Washington, June 1.

Such an Ideal assessment, and snail be glad to ooperate with taxpayers In every pan of the county to that end. Malo street lots In Pendleton, In the best business portion are valued nt about ?1S,000 each, and assessed nt $4,000. And the Improvement upon them are added to this. The Keho country has been develop- j to be from several hundrod to $2000 lug rapidly. iew land has been , less than It has been done during tho brought under irrigation since my first year of the last two or throo of a few are lost In making un the roll. jjui uiey aro usually caugtit the fol lowing spring by the sheriff. My deputies havo also been attack ed upon tho ground of excessive bills. The comparison drawn aro uhfulr, because tho territory worked by my deputies docs not correspond with that worked by Mr. Uuzan's. Tho ox penso of my office was only $4142 dur iug my first year, which will bo found James II. Gwlnn, secretnry of tho Oregon Woolgrowers' Association, Is well pleased with the wool sales that have been so far conducted In Kastorn Oregon this season. The highest mark readied with Kastcrn Oregon wool this spring wus 15 cents nt Heppner, while u largo portion of the clip In that county sold closu to 14 cents. Lust year thero wus but one grower who reached the highest jiolnt, while this season six men at Heppner sold at the highest figure, showing tho undoubted bone fits coming from the organization. The buying has been spirited nt both the Pendleton and Heppner sales and the sales yet to bo held promise to bo more Interesting and Important thun either of these. , It Is now seen thnt tho private sales made before the public sales day, were losing propositions to the growers that sold, ns tho samu final ity or wool which sold for 12 and even as low as 10 cents at private sale, hold for ViVi mid 11 coals at tho sale. At Heppner the buying vds so spir ited that on one lot of wool 11 buyers (led on tho prlco and all the lots hud high bidding nnd sold well. The next sale In this city will tnko piaru Juno 10. Mr. Cwinii hopes that by noxt year every slieopman In tho etitlro rnngo district of Kasteru Oregon will bo u member of the pool nnd will refuse to sell a pound until tho regular sales days. In the state of Montana tho Wool growers' Association has adopted a regular blacklist rule, In regard to the sales days. Any Montana sheepman who soils a pound of wool before or outside of the regular wm1 Is barred from the benefits of the sales, und any buyer who buys a jiotinil of wAol Iwforo or outside of tho rogular salon Is barred troin bidding on wool offered In the regular pool, This has been very ef teiiivu and has resulted In bringing the highest prices paid on the Paclflo Cumi, for Montana wool.

It Is not possible for ' to answer Mr. Temple in detail, but If he will bring real errors In valuations to my notice, he will perform a public serv ice which I shall appreciate. I have made my valuations as pub lic as possible (I wish they could all bo published for criticism and correc tion), so all taxpayers may assist mo u equalization. my predecessors. Thero havo boon only throe bills for material or labor, which I have used, cut down. Two of them were for printing by tho Trib une and tho other was a reduction of a fow dollars from a deputy's claim. In conclusion I ask taxpayers to point out to mo my mistakes. If my critics will only use the same dill genco In helping me to build up ray work hereafter that thoy have used In trying to tear It down In the past, wo shall soon havo an Ideal assessment In this county.
