'A EQUALIZATION BOARD PROCEDURE
. 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.

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
