A county is a public corporation

article XI, of the Constitution of
Oregon, aa amended, rewrvea to tl
people the right to create a county I
initiative vote.
There ia no central law for the crca
lion of counties now, and no one
knows when, if ever, there will be
one. The facts aa to area, population
and aeod valuation show that we
are able to maintain a county gov
eminent. Out of a txinulation of

are assured by lead in if citiaens of
The Dalit, Dufur and other por
tions of Wasco county that th
have no objections to the creation of
Hood Kiver County as proposed In
this bill. More than 400 residents
of The Dallea and Dufur have signed
the petitions asking that this bill be
submitted to a vote at the June elec
tion. though forty-five namoa from
Dufur were received too lute to be
filed with the Hocrctary of (State.
The iHioplo of Hood River Country

bill for these, among other, reasons
Because the new county will be
great benefit to the people residing
therein and will facilitate the trail
aaction of their county business.
Because aa the law stands a county
cannot be crvatud by the legiHluture
and finally,
Because the people of The Dalloa
and the balance of Wasco County ai
willing that Hood River County may
be created as provided in this bill
The assensed valuation in the pro
noxed Hood Kiver County in 11)03
was $!K)8,ro8.00;in 1000 was $1,018,670,
uliowine a gain in valuation from
1903 to l'JOO of 1710,102.00, or about
78 per cent The valuation in 1907
win. I'2.7fl!2 2!0.00: a irain over 1906 of
1 1,143,580.00, or about 70 jier cent
showing the proportionate increase in
one year from 1900 to 1907 to be
almost as great as that in three years
from 1903 to 1906.
The proposed Hood River County
has a population of about 7,500; an
area of about 500 square miles, and
twenty school houses, seven of which
are graded schools having from two to
eight rooms each and with a $30,000
high school under construction.
There will be left in Wasco County,
after Hood River County is created,
an area of 1,646 square miles, a popu
lation of 11.500: and a valuation of
$5,454,720.00, thus leaving it among
the largest and strongest counties
of the state.

Washington, May 25 L. W. Haw
ley, expert on wood distillation for
the forest service has just left Wash
ington for Oregon, Washington,
Montana and Idaho, to investigate
the possibilities of a future. turpentine
industry in the northwestern portion
of the United States.
Mr. Hawley has taken with him a
small dii-tillation apparatus, which
he w ill set up at various places in
these states, distilling the different
woods to determine their value in the'
production of turpentine. In this
manner an accurate idea of the yield
of extracts from the various woods
can be obtained, and samples of the
material will be sent to Washington
for analysis and estimation of its
value for use in paints, varnishes,
and' other naval stores.
There are at the present time in
the northwest, several wood distilling
plants which are producing various
grades of turpentine, wood preserving
oils, and materials of a similar nature.
It is believed that a careful study of
existing conditions in this section
will yield results which will give an
accurate idea of the possibility of
utilizing the enormous quantity of
saw mill refuse now going to waste.
