Optimism and Good Feeling Predom

Sheepmen in This State.
SENATOR BURGESS PRESIDES
Delegates to Sesxionj EnlboaiaMia
Over Welcome ExU-ndeJ Them by
rendlcton OUw-ns Banqnet at
Hotel Pendleton la Fitting Oomo to
Socccshful Meeting.
Good feeling and optimism over
the outlook before the woolgrowera
of the state marked the banquet sir
en last evening by local businessmen
to the visiting woolgrowera at the
Hotel Pendleton. .It was a fitting
close to a very successful two days
convention and If frequent expres
sions made last evening by the vis
itors may be relied upon the wool
men feel they were w entertained
by the "Round-up City."
Incidentally, the occasion brought
forth many compliments for the new
Hotel Pendleton and Its management,
both from visitors and local people.
Senator J. N. Burgess served as
toast master and the banquet was op
ened with toasts to the new and re
tiring presidents of the woolgrowera
association and to t?Te Pendleton Spir
it. The evening was enlivened by
mu'ic by the orchestra and some ap
preciated vocal selections were given
ty the Wilson pair now at the Cosy
theater. Midway in the program a
ry live Pendleton goat adorned with
a cowbell made his appearance con
ducted by J. F. Robinson and Tom
Uoylen. His spirit waa belligerent
but he was not allowed to do more
than rarade and ring the bell.
Fred Falconer, newly elected pres
ident of the atate association, waa
introduced as a prospective county
Judge for Wallowa county. Mr. Fal
coner declined to verify a report as
to his political ambitions but ex
peesed great pleasure over the auc
cwa of the convention Just held and
thnnked his fellow growers for the
honor they had shown him in the
a lie moon.
Good Outlook Ahead.
The keynote of the banquet waa
rtruck by R. X. Stanfield, retiring
pitsident, who urged the growers to
go forth from their convention with

Some of the reasons why taxes are
high were pointed out by R. E. Smith
of Roseburg at a meeting held at thr
court house beslnunlng at 3 o'clock.
The meeting was Intended for the
purpose of discussing the county
budget but the direct subject of the
buget here as not taken up. On
the contrary, action was taken to
form a taxpayers' committee and E.
W. McComas waa authorised to select
a nominating committee to select
such an organization.
The attendance at yesterday's meet
ing was light, there being but a hand
ful present at the opening and be
tween ia and 30 when the meeting
closed. With one or two exception
thoe present were local mea.
At the opening of the meeting Mr.
McComas took the chair and Intro
duced Mr. Smith, representative of the
National Tax Reform Association and
publisher of "The Llberutor" a tax re
form paper. Mr. Smith spoke for an
hour upon the general subject of tax
ation. He attributed huh taxes
largely to natural cause, but placed
much utress on the fact two-third
of Oregon Is held by the federal gov
ernment and is not subject to tjixes.
He blamed tho taxpajers for being
apathetic as to expenses and giv

records of the work d"ri. f I stilt
ed that the hrldxe builder thitnselvei
hav been allowed to In.Hp'irt their

At the conclusion of hi talk, Mr.
Smith moved that the chairman ap
point a nominating committee to si

mittee of a perni'iiient taxpayers' or
ganlzat'on for thU county. Th mo
tion was curried wltlwoit ouponltlon.
