A taxpayer of Benton co&uty recently asked the Gazette where the increase came in the tax levy this year, that it is high er than the levy of a year ago. "Why," said he, "I read in both the Corvallis papers last spring, that the county was practically out or i debt, and now our tax levy is higher than that oflast year." The question is one of interest to all taxpayers, and We publish in answer figures gathered from the record. The exhibit of the county's financial condition for the period ceding April ist, 1902, shows that the county warrants out standing, estimated accrued in- terest and state tax unpaid, I . 1 amounted to Si 7. 702. Q. lne cash in the hands of the treasur er and sheriff, exclusive of the road fund, was $13,033.81, leav ing an indebtedness of $4, 668.78. So the paprrs were justified in saying at that time that the county was practically out oi debt. The records show that $8,524.- 2 was added to this indebted-J ness from April ist, 1902, to June 30, 1902. The principal items being: Ferries 1 ......$2 888 77 Roads and highways 8S4 99 Elections,.. 846 65 Care of poor 678 93 Sheriff's office 504 98 Clerk's office 496 00 Bridges 347 58 The county tax levy for the last year was 24 mills, as follows: County purposes 9 mills State.. ....8 " School.. ..........5 " Roads .7. 2 " Total ...24 " The levy for this year is 28 mills, as follows: County purposes 15 mills State .'. 6 5" Schools . 5 M Road.. 2 " Total v......28.5 The increase, therefore, is for six found in the amount levied eountv purposes, it being mills greater than that of last year. The state tax is i4 mills lower than that of last year; oth erwise the levy is the same. Death of Mrs. Geo. E. Fish. Mrs. George E. Fish died Sat urday, morning, February 21, 1903, at the home of her mother, Mrs. P-ete Schlosser in-this.;city. Mrs. Fish had been ill for a long time with consumption. Only recentlyshe and hex husband re turned from California, where they spent several months near Los Angeles, in the hope of im proving her health, but it was of no avail.

The people of Kings Valley are extremely anxious that the S. P." company extend its line from Airlie to Hoskins' sawmill v and they are making earnest ef forts to have this extention made. In furtherance of this project, Mr. T. T. Vincent has addressed the following letter to Vice-President Koehler, of the S. P. company, at Portland: My Deak Sib: On behalf of thepeo- i pie of Kings Valley, I address this letter of inquiry to you, concerning' the pros pects of an early extension of the Airlie branch of the S. P. R. R. line to this valley. No doubt you have had this subject under consideration in the past and can, by this time, givo us some en couraging information. -For a number of years it has not seem ed juet right to us that no effort was made to suddIv this valley with this much-needed extension of your line. .. Railroad building in other parts of this state, as well as in .various portions of .the Northwest, is receiving attention that are not any more deserving of it than this valley. ; For lack of outside railroad connection, our people suffer inconveni eucei oar resources remain, undeveloped, oar industries are crippled, and our pros perity greatly retarded. When 'the natural resources of this valley are considered, when oar trade in wood, lumber, nour, etecic, larm pro ducts, and the travel of our people are taken into careful recognition, preaent and prospective, wn think it hut just to ask, and right to expect, that the road be extendid 10 ar to accommodate our people, Another fact to bo considered is this 1 The Southern Pacifld people claim this territory , and have a road already within about 8 miles of the ' Hoskhis' sawmill, the point to which we want the line ex tended, at present, ancP from current re ports are desirous of holding it against all competitors, hence we have a right to ask for this extension! . Again : As trains are now ran to Air lie, it would involve no extra expense upon the company, either for equipments or men, to supply our people with this 1 a - mucn-neeaea service. Trusting this subject will 'receive the early consideration of yourself and asso ciates, we hsg to remain, Most respectfully, T. T. Vincent, Recorder of conveyances,-Benton Co. The Proper Sentiment. Guy E. Moore, son of the late M. A. Moore of this place, won the oratorical contest at. Corvallis on last Friday. Mr. Moore was sick at the time of the contest, but his young schoolmates car ried him to the college and in such a condition he won the con test, which now enables him to enter as a . representative of the Agricultural college to -the state oratorical contest which takes place at Eugene in March. It is truly gratifying to know that our Prineville youth, when given a chance and placed alongside those youths born, bred and reared , at other places is their equal, if not their superior. " Prineville takes a just pride in Guy's efforts, and he can rest assured their sympa thies and good will go with him, and hopes he will come out at the top when he competes with the chosen .. representatives of other Oregon "Colleges at Eugene in March.: -7 Hurrah for Crook county and her boys!

Then the blossoms break out, and the trees are yellow with golden globes, and white with orange flowers. It may be that a flurry of snow has whitened tha moun tain tops, and then you 'have au artistic background for a tropical forest. The air is full of sunshine, and heavy, with fragrance asight comes on, and then, if the moon be shining, you may hear at midnight through open windows, the song of the mocking-bird in the scented grove, and it never seemed so melodious before." : An experience like this is possible any winter, and it is worth a journey of a thousand miles, while yon can have it by taking the scenc Shasta route through the grand and ' picturesque Siskiyou and Shasta mountains, to Southern Califor nia.
