SPECIAL ELECTION NECESSARY TO Despite the law passed by the l ist lemslalure. providing that the tax levy of a county, dlatrlct or city can not be Increased more thnn six per cent over the levy of the year prior, with out the sanction of the voters at an election, there Is a possibility that the eleven mill city levy, proposed by the council will not have to he sub mitted to the voters. There Is a section of the same law which provides that the act shall In no way limit the amount of anv levy ne, cssnrv to he made for the purpose of paying any bonded debt or out atandlni warrant. Included In 'he council budget la $12,000 for inter est on the bonded Indebtedness and this w' uld amount to a two mlli tax. Hon ever, as practically the same amount was rnlsed last year for the same purpose In the general tax. It Is doubtful whether a separate tux for this purpose could be levied this year. The loophole, however, appears In i be provision for excluding the tax in rover outstanding warrant from the general levy The finance committee of the Council estimate that there will be deficit of between $8000 and $10. 000 on Jannnry 1 and to cover this amount a tax of more than a mill Premiums Announced for Hog nd Dairy Show at Hermiston (Special Correspondence.!

PETROCRAD. Oct. 29. An offi cial statement claims Russian advan tage In the Dvlnsk region.

The artillery fighting con tinue at the Rlgt. Pripet and Sty? regions MAY NOT BE APPROVE BUDGET and a half will be necessary. The law permits an Increase of six per cent which on nine mills would be a lit tle more than half a mill If a mill and a half Is permitted for the pur pose of paying outstanding warrants and a hHlf mill Increase Is permitted In the general levy, then the council will be within its rights In levying an eleven mill tax without submitting It to the voters. City Attorney Charles Carter Is to day studying the law for the purpose of giving an opinion In the matter. If he decides that an eleven mill levy must be submitted to the voters, it will probably be placed upon the ballot at the December election as the law provides that a levy may be voted upon at a general or special election. Section 8 of the act In question reads as follows: "This act shall in no way limit rhe amount of any levy necessa ry to be made for the purpose of paying any bonded debt or out standing warrants heretofore lawful ly Issued, Judgment or the Interest thereon against the state, or any county, city, town, school district, port or other taxing district, or for special assessments for local Improve ments.'1 7:30 p. m.

None of the work will be performed by contractors, the com pany using Its own forces. It Is understood that some of the old 75-pound and 80-pound rails that are to be removed will be used by i the company on its new line being built across Central Oregon irom Vale. Some of this old steel has been down only a few years and can : OS utilized on those lines, where the traffic Is not so heavv as on the main line. Some of the existing 80-pound rails were laid as early as 1908, and at that time were considered sufficiently heavy to meet the traffic demands for j an indefinite period. j These rails not only are unable j longer to bear the heavy service to j which they are subjected, but th?y have been relieved of a part of their normal burden by construction . of double tracks on those units over which the traffic is heaviest. As a part of the Union Pacific sys tem, the O.-W R. & N. company is destined eventually to be double tracked over its entire length. The Union Pacific now Is double tracked from Omaha westward to Granger, and the Oregon Short Line has mny important units double tracked be tween Portland and Huntington. More than 100 miles of the O -W. R. & N. main line between Portland and Huntington is double tracked. CAMPAIGN TO BE P.
