Wnjjow Road Company Says Tax
on Timber I,nn4.
Albany, Or., Dec. 18 Charle A
f hul, propri tor of the Willamette Val
ley & Cas ada Range Wagon Rosd Com-
panv. yesterday came to the center with
$8329.29. 'he amount of taxes due on
his timber holdings in Linn county, and
thus the fir-d victory was reeistered to
the credit of the Linn County Assessor
and Sheriff in their efforts to make the
h.o de h of big timber interests in Linn
county pay taxes in proportion to their
property. Of this money, $7004 53 was
the taxa&se-sed for tbe'past year, at-d!
$1224.76 was the penalty for nonpay- the ra8C8,8 brought to justice, and will
gladly contribute any information Ibat
ment
Tin's la-ee amount of m ney was paid
Tery grnlgingly by the wagon road com
pany, wh i made every effort to have
the amount reduced. The company
owds ovr 110,000 acres of fine timber
land in Linn county, and the Assessor
valued the land at 83 pr acre. In
' years jione by the land has been valued
at but SI. 25 per acre, and the taxes
have amounted to a trifle over $1000.
In a Idition to thi, the wagon road com
pany has had but 43,000 acres cf timber
land on the assessment rolls in the
county.
When Assessor McKnight took charge
cf the -Assessor's office, however, he
examined the present ownership books,
and found that the big company had
been paying but a sruali part of the
taxes that t-hould have been contributed
by it. He aK established tin wire
polii of vaiuitig timber land at seme
tMnu' n-ar im wotth. These elements
to'''r made the taxes on ti e wagon
road c mpany many times higher than
m fo(t,'..r years, and brought forth a
will aid to that end.
Senator Mitchell a;d today that if the
cases which are postponed are called for
trirl when he can attend, be will will
ingly no on the stand and testify.
Oregon Wins many Prizes.
After several months in St. Loui,
where he bad charge of the Oregon ex
hibit at the Louisiana Parchase Expo
si ion, W. H. Wehrung returned to
Portland Thursday, says the Oregonian.
He reported wide interest among East
erners in the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion and predicted there will be heavy
westward travel next ear for the pur-
p se of seeiiig the Western World's
Fair.
Mr. Wehrung speaks highly rf the
.lust to I'ivt iCiht-rii visitors to the
Lewis et (I Cla k Fxuosition a few
thrill- and to hhow thein that td
though thu people of Oregon aro civil z
ed there is enough of savagery about,
the Coist country to mp.ke the title
"wild and woolly" appropriate, Hmey
county will bring to th Fair a d ilu
tion of st u fled wild animals, showing
the wild life of Oregon, and lepresenta
live inhabitants of the state in the
period that Lewie and Clark made their
perilous trip to the mouth of the Colum
bia River.
P'eparations are now going forward
for the collection of such exhibit, both
of wild beasts and birds. Not only
will such a oll ction be a liberal edu
cation to the aver"p Easterner who
does not see wild "nimols except at
rate intervals, but the col'ection will be
a source of profit to those collecting it,
It is said that witht'Ht exception such
collections are so'd foT- much more than
the cost of collecting and mounting, and
at St. Louis it was found that the sup
ply ot such attractions was sold out two
mo ths before the Fair closed.
Harney county is already taking
active steps to nihke an exhibit at the
Exposition. The County Court has ap
propriated $1000 for the purpose, and
members of that body have signified
their willingness to segregate anoher
amouut of a similar magnitude after
January 1. Although that county has
au immense territory, of rich and fertile
acres, the people at the bead of the in
terests there realize that the usual
firming exhibits are not apt to attract
the attention from visitors that some
unique display will. Although Harney
county boasts one-third of the cattle of
the state, and more than one-ninth the
area of Oregon, its exhibit wi'l be along
lines not attempted by the other
counties, and while its resources, vast
and undeveloped, will be brought out,
the unique plan of giving Easterners
eoi ething decidedly different from any-
thirg any other section of Oregon will
bring forth will be followed.
Harney county i said to have 48
varieties of wild animals and 250 varie
ties of birds other than domestic. In
g 'tting an adequate realization of the
wild conditions and the savage fots
Lewis and Clark had to contend with,
the wild animals displ-tyed will how
t'ue to the life the dangers the intrepid
exployerers encountered. A better
idea of their bravery In penetrating the
trackless forests on their great mission
will result from Harney county'H exhibit.
C ing'esBman Binder Hermann is on
record as once havinu said that the on y
products of Harney county known to
he outside world were "hay, hell and
petitions." The County Court of the
in'erior section proposes to maVe n ex
hibit of another product which will!
Su'iip'er-, Or., Dec. 16 From a resi
dent ot the John Day va'ley it h learned
that thoi people of th t ne tion are much
disappointed ovor the report that the
Sumptor Valley Railway company wi 1
not extend i a line into t!at locality
next year. It in naid tiio Ilaniman
pei'p'e are stopping the advance of the
Sumptor ViU'ey toad by refn-dnir to dt
liver taiirf for building purposes except :
at the maximum charge. This it is!
i
c'a'naed is aheost prohibitive, as the !
cost wou d be .f2 25 per hiifid ed. Raih r
coo Id be shipped icmnd the lloni but!
the high rate from Portland would stil j
be staring the ittle road n th face. j
A liuht of wav ha been c eaed fura
Tipton to Wright Station, a point a-j
most half way between Sumpter and
Prairie City. It was announced nt the
time this work was done that the road
would be bniit to this stati n in the
spring, and ultimately reach the vicin
ity of Pra rie City hy fill. That this
program bun bee.o nhandoned is the ex
pressed ide of John Day vaHy resi
dents, and the continuation of the road
is put tf to an indefinite dte.
Another reason given for the holding
back of farther extension is the fmct
that the Sumpter valley road from
Tipton on is r quired to be standard
gauge, accoiding to the stipulation of
the franchise by the gov rmneut. This
would mean the t hieing of the whole
system on a broad gauge, a condition
that is hardly justified at the present
stage.
StiiJ ano'her theory is advanced, uc
counting for the action of the Harriman
people. This is that the Sumpter val
ley is in splendid position to head off
advancement of the Colombia Southern
through Central Eastern Oregon. As
the latter road is fostered by the strong
er combination, every assistance pos
sible is to be given it. That this road
must extend its lines eventually in or
der to control the business of its terri
tory is a well known fact, and there
fore it woufd not be to its advantage to
have another road reach the Harney
valley ahead of it.

an extension of the Wi'lamette Uivtr

The amendment he hs intruduced and

bridge at Port'and to Rye I -larol. If
adopted, it will prrvde io a 15-foot
channel one nnlo m.-nti e tn above the

maintain a 25-foot channel as far up
stream as the foot of Ross Ifland, Dnc
tically ono mile beyond Madison-street
bridge, which is nov the end of the 25
foot project. If this channel is pro
vided, it wdl erahla vessels of heavy

will also save the expense of lightering,
