THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1930 Number 31 MAUPIN TIMES copy will have CHANCE TO BUY FAIR GROUNDS Movement Under Wy to PUee Mat ter on Ballot at Coming November Election A movement ii on foot, in fact pe titions have already been drawn up for the placing of the purchase by the 'county of tho fair grounds in Tygh Valley measure on the ballot t the coming November election, Thia movement wai inaugurated by men interested in the county owning the grounds and in carrying on tho expositions in the future. Up to thl time the county fairs have been carried on by a private corporation. That body has erected all necessary buildings, improved a half-mile track, installed a water system and has provided for pre miums each year. Should eople decide that tht e ground should be long to the county, and be willing to pay a reasonable amount for them, nd then have a fulr board appointed to conduct future fairs, a good move will have been made. The fair grounds should be a part of Wasco county assets. A fair board could arrange for greater exhibits with better premiums, provide more and better entertainment for visitors and In all departments make a larg er arid better fair. By making a a f pedal levy of from one-fenth to. ono-twclfth mill a sufficient 'amount to pay for the grounds would be raised, and this without 'increasing taxes to any ap preciable extent At a recent elec tion th, voters of this county were asked to give assent to the purchase of property near The' Dalles, isme to be used as a county fair grounds. That movement received negative vote. . The present proposed measure is different from the other. Here we already have a fair grounds equipped with all that is necessary to carry on fairs. The county and itate apporprlation would be ample to pay premiums, besides there al ways would be profits from ad missions and concessions to be sdded to the fair fund. The voters of warco county will1 do well to consider this movement and when election day rolls around If they vote for Its adoption theyi will have dne something that will prove of lasting benefit to all peo ple of the county. When the peti tions are presented we suggest thpy be signed, a only by that moans can the matter be placed upon the ballot.

LAND OWNERS DISCUSS ASSESSMENT AT SIIANIKO Decide Present Levy U Toe High oa Lands Classified as Grac ing Area A large number of grazing land owners living eat t of the Deschutes river met at Shaniko last Saturday and discussed taxation matters. H. C. Hooper, one of the inaugurators of the meeting, sends tho following report of the deliberation of those present to The Times. His report follows: Nearly 40 people assembled at Shaniko in response to a call for a meeting of those paying taxes' on grazing lands In Wasco county. Be side the principal Wasco owners of land eai;t of the Deschutsr, there were present, Budd Cram of Jeffer-1 son county and Ben Taylor of ' Wheeler county, both largo owners of 'asco county grazing lands. Ofi officials there were present County Commissioner Kelly, Asset sor, Will Doud, County Attorney Francis Galloway and also Chas. V. Gallo-1 way, member of the State Tax com mitifion. Francis Galloway con sented to act si chairman and A. M. Bennett as secretary. H. C. Rooper opened tho dtiscus- sion, reading an extract from the code, relative to the valuation of property for taxable purposes. He 1 argued that value of land was what I it was bought and sold for and that its Intrinsic value waj what could be got out of it. That $3.00 was 30 t0 40 per cent more than it sold for and that its rental' value was gener ally $75.00 per section, a little over 1 1 'i cents per acre, that taxes ran about $50.00 per section, leaving the owner some $25.00 as -interest on hvj investment, that it took at least 3 acres for the pasturage of one sheep, wb'n herded in bands, and for only six months in the year, as they were in the mountains for some 4 months and probably one and one-half or two months , in .. . . ' ... -i mt lenot yara..,.,, ,v. Brogan hadn't bought any such, lands for several years, McGreer j didn't think three acres would sup port one sheep and thought he was I doubly taxed, in that he was taxed ' on the land, also on the sheep that were the produce of the land, where as the farmer only paid tax on the land but didn't pay anything on the wheat that the land produced. Taylor said the excessive taxation lowered the selling price of the land. ' People couldn't pay the present j tnxe; on it and make anything out : of It. , j Cram mid $3.00 was out of reason ' lie hud bought a good deal at' $1000 and up to $1500 a section,! but wouldn't buy an acre at over j $1000 per section, also that such, lands in Jefferson were assessed at! $2.00 per acre and that really watt higher in proporation than tillable land. Several others spoke along similar lines. Mr. Doud explained that so much money had to be raised snd if these lands were assessed lower, rates would have to be rau ed, which did not come into the question at all. Tho meeting wasn't called to con sider rates or millages, but to con sider the real and assessable value of those lands as compared with other property. Finally it wa concluded to form an association and elect temporary officers to take such action as seem ed to them best. The following were selected: J. W. Fisher, presi dent; A. M. Bennett, secretary; J. J. Brogan, E. E. McGreer and W. E. Hunt, directors. The following resolution was alno adopted ''It is the sense of this meeting that land in Wasco county cast of the Deschutes river classed as 'non-tillable' should not be at ses'sed for taxable purposes." Afterwards the directors above mot and listened to tho county of ficials and informally discus ed the situation. On being assured that tho county court would thoroughly consider the matter from all points of view and notify the chairman of the result arrived at, the meeting was adjourned subject to the call of the chairman.

PAUL BUNYAN MISSED ONE SECTION NO. 37 The Forest Log Digs Up Such a Section in Klamth Lake District It i; generally believed by all I credible foresters, lumber jacks and i other timber savages that Paul Bunyan is responsible for the ab sence of all sections 37 in the j United States system of rectangular survey having hooked Babe, the blue ox, to each section 37. dragged it to the river or lake shore whero the timber was removed and high water allowed to wash the land away. Now it appears that he over looked a bet or high water wasn't on the job for there is a section 37 along the shores of Klamath lake in Klamath county in town hip 37 south range 8 east. Section 37 was the designation given a small tract of land to correct an error in the original survey. Several years ago it was subdivided into lots and the entire erea with the exception of one lot sold to the Algoma Lumber Co., whose nitll adjoins the era. The price of thia one lot was run up to $800 by an outside bidder who ex pected to establish a . service sta tion thereon, but he failed to make payment and the land office voided the sale. It was again offered for sale to the higest bidder on the 16th I of the month.

(Andy) Smith, superintend ent of the fish hatchery , at Oak Springs repvrts the arrival of 1.025,. 000 rainbow trout eggs at the hatchery, and are now in process on incubation. The new hatch will be kept in the feeding ponds until each has attained a size which will enable it to avoid attacks of larger fl h, which means a length of from five to nine inches. " At present there are 450,000 rainbows in the ponds, and these will be liberated into the Deschutes some time this month. These trout are fat and lively and have reached a size stated above. , Additional feeding ponds are be ing built at the Oak Springs hatchery and these will give ample feeding space for the new hatch. From that hatchery many streams here about are ttocked with trout Of course the Deschutes gets the bulk with always enough left to restock neighboring streams and thus keep them up as good fishing waters. CHAMPIONSHIP WON ON FOUL IN FIFTH ROUND Mas Smeling," German PagilUt, Win Heavyweight Belt Ia Fight Lt Night "A king is dead; long live the king," i.i cried at the demise of one ruler and the accession of the crown by the heir to the throne. The fight last night in New York to determine who wears the heavyweight pugil istic crown, between Jack Sharke, Lithunian, and Mix Schmeling, Ger man fighter, was decided in the fifth round, the foreigner winning the bout on a foul.

Many Year Win Plenty of Water Paradoxical as it may seem the fact remains that there is now more water flowing down the irrigation ditches on Juniper Flat than at any time during the pasj decade. Water ' users are receiving all the water they " want and in some instances havo aaked that water be shut off. The above condition shows what mfght have been accompli h?d had the Wapinitia Irrigation company or it supposed-to-be successor, the Mt. Hood Land & Water company, given the attention to the system ' promised when the money lor water was accepted from those ranchers who desired to cultivate and improve their hay landc - - A little work on the ditches ws' done this spring by the rancher This was undertaken when there seemed no possibility of either com pany going ahead with the program ; of supplying water. Ditches were cleaned out, dead trees removed, willow and cattails taken from the bank and washed-out places re paired. The result is that there now is a sufficient flow of water for ir- rigation and stock purposes, and this in face of the fact that the flow from the mountains is iinaller now than at any time in June in the past several years. All of which, goes to show there never had been a real effort made by the irrigation company to carry out its part of the , contracts with the water users. With the system in the hand), of someone: who vould carry out the provisions of the, contracts, keep up the system sai go ahead with projected .im- j provements, such as impounding the water of Gear Lake and Clear creek, the sub-dividing of the larg er ranches and colonizing such, Wapinitia Plains would be the Mec ca of many hundreds of settlers who desire a place where they could make dairy farms.
