Announcement that the county board of equalization will I be in session on August 14 should serve as a reminder that it is less than a year ago that Deschutes county's two leading .WieUnunities were not a little concerned over the results of Jfevajuation of business structures, industrial equipment and city residence lots. For the most part this concern was felt ,nd manifest by persons who had overlooked the opportunity of bringing their grievances before the equalization board. .In consequence they could do nothing about it but talk. ; Since that time revaluation has been continuing, and here it should be noted that revaluation for taxation purposes is iprciinanly upward valuation.. It was so last year when nearly jb quarter of a million dollars was added to the county's tax abase. The same sort of thing may be expected this year. It I Jvill be on a different class of property, however. The revalua tion which has been under way since the closing of the last .fcssessment rolls has been chiefly that of residence structures. ! These have already been entered as to Redmond. They .twill shortly be entered as to Bend. The new valuation on any property may then be learned by inquiring at the assessor's .office. JJ As noted in the announcement of the equalization board amMting, petitions for reductions or changes must be made in J Jvrjting within 15 days from the date of the first meeting. JPetitions must also be verified by oath of the applicant. Lack .Jnft'iuch petition the board has nothing on which it may Regally act Home owners and other interested taxpayers will !do well to make sure that their own negligence does not de prive them of the opportunity to ask redress if they find them jeives aggrieved. : . ELECTRICITY ON OREGON FARMS " .Assertions that private power utilities are not much inter ; jested in extending their facilities into rural districts are often .made and with them the statement that the only way to get .Electricity on the farm is by public ownership. In Oregon the JJcojntrary is true as is indicated by figures just released by Public utility commissioner Ormond R. Bean. II .-According to Mr. Bean more than 33,770 Oregon farms .Snow have electricity supplied by a privately-owned utility. Of J Jthfe total 4,559 were added in the past year. A farm is defined jjas'three or more acres producing more than $350 of annual ..revenue and actually giving full-time work to one or more ,?nen." More than half the farms in the state now have electric service, the figure given by Commissioner Bean being 55.2 ;j)ex,cenu- ;. . . - - v v4. -It is Mt; Bean's estimate that 200 farms are served by the .Jthjpe relatively small municipally-owned utilities. He has no fitgires on farms served by the federal RE A which has four . aPCOjects in operation in Oregon. This organization has not Jisswid a report as to the number of farms served by it and in ..that fact, as in the lack of reports from municipal plants, is Tound one of the difficulties that develop when one tries to -compare public and private ownership operations. Incidentally, it may be noted that one of the reasons for 4he success and the low-cost operations of the Eugene munici pal plant is the fact that it consistently refuses to extend its Jines into the rural regions around the city. Serving a com Munity of a high population density it is only natural that its 1 jCQBts and, consequently, its rates can be kept down in com parison with those of the private utilities that are going into retJie,rural areas to the extent indicated by Mr. Bean's figures. The Burgunder youth who faces the death penalty for the j JBUrder.of two men in Arizona says, "I can take it." That's Htarky because apparently he has to take it anyway. A headline the other day said "Foundations Poured at Boy Scout Camp.'' Foundations for good citizenship are being BflMred in the boy scout work constantly. w - : im r-w-r . r a-- -, .. .awa.

CHAPTER XIV Franklin Larraway, under protest, was standing on a rock by the high way tumoff, singing in a genuinely good baritone: "Ho-o-o-o-o, for the days on the range! Rollicking days. Frolicking days. Out on the open range! Hear you the swish of the lariat's loop. The throw! The catch! The jubilant whooD Of the cowboys whose daring and generous sharing Of work and of pleasure bring joy to me range. Ho-o-o-o-, for the western range!' He finished with a dramatic flour ish on. a high note and the applause was entnusiastic. A dozen or so travelers waited with Roselee, Chris tine, Dick and the three old-time cow hands whom they had hired as pan oi tne atmosphere tor uold crest. As were the others, Franklin was attired this morning in cowboy costume. He had borrowed a guitar from one of the cowboys to accom pany himself singing and Christine Palmer had gazed happily at him while he sang. It was her idea that he help entertain the waiting crowd, and it had proved to be an excellent idea. A coupe slowed down and stopped. Roselee greeted the two women who were in it "Good morning. Were vour inter ested in seeing Goldcrest?" les. un we go right on over; "No ma'am. But if you will please wait for a few minutes we are hav ing a lot of fun we will all on in together. You see, we have all our guides here this morning to greet a special bus party at 10 o'clock. They are due any time. We're having songs." Roselee smiled at them, and hr elusive left dimple flashed, and the two women in the car smiled back and said they'd wait. "More than a hundred cnllpo- at,,. dents and some factulty members from a New York university are coming," Roselee went on. "Buses of them, on a coast-to-coast tour." "How lovely! I'll bet they read about you in the papers. We saw dear. I think it's marvelous. We can hardly wait to see your ghost town. .1 Thank you, Roselee smiled agaai at them. Mr. Larraway here is our advertising man. He's the one who was singing when you drove up. He worked on college publications, and sent a lot of material in to the news papers and all." : ; "Did you have to pay to get it pub lished? I should think " I "Oh no. ' We did buy some advatU Using, and, it helped a lot But Utigi the news writers and the picttjii magazines seemed to discover us anp they gave us tar more attention thj we ever expected, really. "I'm sure you deserved it" Christine called out then. "Here come the buses, Roselee!" : j thaji The five large buses took 20 min utes in arriving because they had been separated on the highway. Two or three more private cars pulled up aunng that Interval, too. Dick Ban croft greeted them. Franklin and the two girls were busy with the col lege crowd, but when the Inst bus came Dick and Roselee, riding in their light service truck, led the caravan over the rough two miles to the ghost town. Franklin and Chris tine rode with the visitors, trying to show as much hospitality as they could. For one thing they enjoyed being hospitable, especially since this was a group of collegians approxi mately their own age, but aside from that was the salient fact that this morning's callers represented a money take" which would approach $200 all told. When they had all alighted again at the edge of Goldcrest, to walk slowly through the now routine rout ing worked out by Dick and Frank-: lin and Roselee and Christine, the crowd was more like a picnic asscm- j bly or a crowd before a football' game. Youth dominated the guests' this morning. Boys and girls were making the inevitable wisecracks and asking upward of a million questions. More sedate adults could only follow and look on, but the good spirits there were contagious. They saw the old abandoned resi dences. The corrals and blacksmith shops. I he Iced stores one with a! bell which they rang and heard echo' powerfully in the great rocky canyon j there the interesting old graveyard, the bank and barbershops and other) bu'iness places were all visited. When the four owner-managers! had escorted the guests at last to Mrs. . Hogan's place in the Ace Hotel fori lunch, ordered in advance, one elder-1 ly member of the New York cnllr-iini faculty approached Roselee and shook, her hand. I must sav. Miss Dale." he amilorl "that we may find some places to dis- your ghost town surely lives up to the publicity." ' Everyone who heard him laughed at his frankness, but echoed his ap proval. Roselee wits delighted, and went on talking with him. Christine and Franklin, alert, took that as a cue to show some courteous attention to the other faculty mem bers and older folk present. Quite by chance they were near a bearded gentleman with an umbrella. "Are you in the faculty, too, sir?" Christine asked him. "Why uh yes, I am. Professor York that's my name." He stuck out his hand and Christine took it in mild surprise. His voice and man ners were hardly in keeping with his looks. For one thing, a professor almost never calls himself "Profes sor," Christine knew, having been in college only recently herst'll Ho had surprised her, and she caught Franklin Larraway s eye appraising the man curiously too. But then, col lege faculty men sometimes arc ec centric. Christine made a point of being especially cordial to him, then passed on. She forgot the incident until most of the group were sitting down to eat Then, in her hurried survey of the crowd just to be sure no guest was being neglected. Christine saw UNITKD STATES LAGS (Commerce) The Cleveland Trust ConiDanv re cently issued a table entitled "In dustrial Production in 1938 covering many countries of (he world and showing their position on a 1D39 basis as 100 per cent.
