What They Do With It.
It is pretty haul to satisfy some people. Here after the county
court, has junt finished making the record low levy of 11 mills, comes
the Joseph Herald kicking because it was not 7 oi 8 mills, and pres
enting under the head ''What Will They Do With It?" a juggling of
figure that would do credit to a Wall Street frenzied financier.
Of the total levy four and six-tentln mil Id are required for state
and school purposes, in the levying of which tha co inty court had no
.1 : . : i. . x. i . - . i m. t . ct 1 1 . i . i . . N

the Herald named as necessary, ard you have three and four-tenths
mill, r on thin year's assessment a sum of $21,'!23.
Last year it cost $23,500 for general county expenses, salaries,
supplies, etc. In addition $14,814 50 were expended on roads, not
counting $2000 yet to be .paid for the hrid'je across Little Salmon.
There's $38,314 to be paid out of Mr. Herald'e $21,223, counting
those expenses the ame as last year. But there is also a necessary
$G210 for maintenance of the high school; there is $4800, expense for
three elections April, June and November; there is the percentage of
taxes never collected (Amounts to $2(5,8 18.'03 since 1884); making a
known necessary total of $i'.).354 to be paid out of the Herald's $21,223.
Uut then there will he a balance of $5000 in the treasury says the
Herald, which would give a total of $2(5,223 to pay $49,354.
- There's a deficit of $23,131, which is certainly large enough to
delight the heart .f anyone who wants to keep the county in debt sc
that the building of a court house. would be prohibited by state law.
The 3J mill difference between what the court levied and what, the
Herald says would have been enough, amounts to $21,848, or $1283
ess than enough to pay running expenses based on 1907. In other
words the court ha9 saved that sum in 1903 over 1907.
How it the name of common sense a paper has the nerve to kick
after the low levy made by the court, passeth ordinary understanding.
This, too, in the face of $1000 inrreasfl demanded by the state, $2700
increase required by Ihw for ti e common schools, and $4800 extra
expense foi elections. For our part, instead of having the amount set
apart for roads pared down we would have preferred to, pay an extra
mill for road purposes provided it was expended as well, sav, as the
$1000 on the Trov hill.
The school appropriation is increasing yearly. Last year it was
$6 per capita of school population; this year it is $7. Prior to 1907 it
never was above $4.
And.we are glad it is increasing. And we want to fee the amount
spent on roads increase. The News Record stands squarely for the
best roads and tl e beBt schools the county can possibly afford.

County Superintendent of Schools,
W. C. H. S. Wins First Victory.
Winning the debate fairly and squarely from one of the largest
and best high schools in Oregon, the new Wallowa County high school
has just cause for elation. It is a victory of which to be proud, and
surely there is not a citizen anywhere in this big county but who is
proud of his school.
When such a notable achievement can be accomplished in a few
months, the prediction of Supt. J. S. Landers of Pendleton, that the
school will become so popular within a few years that an addition to
the new building will bo necessary, does not seem far-fetched at all.
When the people of Wallowa county are convinced a thing is right
they give it whole-hearted support.
Th Bplendid work of the debating team, the success of the event
in every way, literary, artistic and social, but especially the esprit de
corps shown by the students of an institution only three months old,
reflect great credit upon Principal W. E. Mooro and his able assistant,
Miss DuFur.
Hurrah for Wallowa County High!

Miss Llda Flowers, Who Though
Handicapped by Illness, Received
a Splendid Vote.
It
An effort will be mado to initiate a bill at the June election to
mulct candidates for office for the benefit of the job' printers of Salem,
or in other words to centralize all the campaign printing and adver
tising at Sulem at outrageous prices. The bill masquerades under the
title "To prevent corrupt practices and limit campaign expenses to
to candidates in election," and was fathored in the last legislature by
Huntley of Clackamas, but the real author of its being is said to be W.
S. U'Ren, the only simon-pure, name-blown-in-the-bottle "father" of
Oregon legislation.

The News Record acknowledges the receipt of a letter from Senator
0. W. Fulton in which he says ho has "taken the liberty of causing to
be forwarded to you (The Editor) this day 250 packages of vegetable,
ond 30 packages of flower seeds to be distributed among those desiring
thein." The News Record consider it an unwarranted '"liberty" on
the part of Mr. Fulton, as this paper is opposed to the' dirty graft of
the seed di.vr. button through congressmen and will have nothing to do
with it

Miss Corking is very, much pleased
with her real estate and pardonably
proud of its possession. And well she
may I e, for a nicer building lot is not
to'be found in beautiful Alder View,
where every lot is a choice one. It lies
high, is perfectly level, has a frontage
of 50 feet on Litch street and a depth of
145 feet, fertile soil, sub-irrigated and is
only a block from Depot strett that will
be tho main thoroughfare between the
O. R. & N. station and the business
part ef the city.
M iss Corkins is only 15 years of age
and will graduate" thh-- week from the
Hlli grade in the El- terprise public
schools. She is the daughter of County
Judge and Mrs. O. M. Corkinc, and
resided at Wallowa until three, years
ago w hen the family moved to Enter
prise. Miss Corkius is a bright, hand
some girl aud not a hit afraid of work
a combination that insu: es her being
a grand prize w inner all alcng through
life.
Miss Corkins in telling of her work
in securing subscribers for the News
Uecord said : "I would not have re
gretted the experience even if I had not
won the prize, for the work was a pleas
ure and the experience gained of value;
besides the commissions and special
prizes paid no well for the work and I
consider the lot as pure gain. Every
body treated mo nicely when I was
soliciting, and I want to say the
majority subscribed because they said
it was a good paper, the best in the
county, and not just to help me. I am
very proud of the lot, aud desbe to
thank the friends all over the county
who holped me to win it."
