It Is a fact plans were well under way more than one year: ago for the 'construction of an cast nud west line across the state of Oregon, but the financial depression sidetracked them. It is well known among Mr. liar riinau'ii lieutenants that his sum mcr vacation 1 pent In his new lodge on Pelican Bay on the t!pcr Klam nth Luke, had a coed deal to do with -his determination to give the state of Oregon more transportation facilities. At that time nil of the llarrimau operating nud traflic officials spent some time at the lodge, and it was then that the com prehensive plan of railroad con struction in the state was laid out. The entire ground was gone over rx'nioiially by Mr. Ilarrininu, who nt that lime agreed to build scvcrnl lines in the state. "Agrctd" i the proper term, for the agreement was with the gov ernor of the slate, who spent some lime at the llarrimau lodge last August, At that lime the govern or nud Mr. llarrimau hod n long, heart-to-heart talk regarding mil road affairs in general nud the liar riniuu system uITulrs in particular. It Ii .understood that Mr, Uarrimati iiiformcd the governor that he de sired to lie known to history as n great railroad builder, one who had made possible the full development of hitherto unproductive teirltory by the construction of the best rail roads ixMsibte under the modern science of railroad building. Accordingly lie is mud to have asked the governor what, in his judgment, the Mate of Oregon need ed within the next few years to make r commensurate development of the state's resources possible.

J. N. Hunter is in receipt of a letter from a man in Portland which contains most interesting news for the people of Ikud and the Ueud country. It confirms, in strong terms, the report to the effect that woik on the railroad up the Deschutes will begin in n short time. The letter, in part, is as fol lows: "Unless something drops out of the heavens to prevent, so far as I atu able to learn, llarrimau will be gin building up the Deschutes can yon immediately after the New Year if the weather permits. This information comes direct from O' Uricu himself. The final esti mates of the cost of building have gouc I-'ast for approval, O'Hrieu himself leaves tomorrow for New York City, expecting to remain un til after New Years. lie goes for the express purpose, accordiug to his own statement, to get the filial word regarding the Cculrnl Oregon route, and while it has not been published in the newspapers here, he fully expects to bring back the dual oiders the hrst week in Jauu ury to assemble the construction crews. If he is delayed in the Hast these orders will be telegraphed tits subordinates ami work com tucuced anyway. . "Prom evciythiug I am able to learn, which is principally personal conversation with the officials themselves, llarrimau at last fully intends to build into Crook county. O'Hrieu, who, of course, is his right hand man here, docs not hes itate to state positively that work will begin on the line in January, and places it within n week after the first."

CITY COUNCIL MAKES TAX LpVY it ' i( Will Need IS Alills for Hxpcnscs of Vcar of 1909, '. ASSHSSHD VALUTION $70,882 Careful flstlmste Made of I'rohabl. expenses and Levy Made Accord Ingly Other Notes Recording tbe City's Finances. Ml At an adjourneu netting of the city council held Saturday evening, a levy of 15 mills was made to meet the cxr uses of the city's adminis; tratibn for the coming year. This would return a revenue to the city of $1,063 if all taxes would be paid, but as there is always a small amount of taxes unpaid, the city's income for the year will be about $1,000. The council figured the expenses of tlic city a economical ly as possible and made no provis ion for a marshal. Fixed expenses which must of necessity be met, such as rent of water hydrants, election expenses, recorder's sahry. etc., will use up $600 of the $1,000, leaving a balance of $400 for inci dental expenses. The assessed valuation of prop erty in Bend 04 shown by tbe ioo3 roll is $;o,Sx. In 1905 the valu- utiou was $50,000 and the levy 12 mills; in 190$, valuation $90,213, levy 7 myis; in 1.907, valuation $72,376, lcyy 19 mills. This shows a falling off in the past two cars. This showing is misleading, how ever, ana there has been no shrink age in tbe wealth of the city. In fact, there is just as much and more property here now than in 1906, as everyone who is acquaint ed with the town can testify. The valuation of taxable property should show an increase, as mere arc more and better store and residence buddings in the town, and Iknd merchants are carrying larger and better stocks of goods today than ever before, rscw resiliences arc being built every month. This drop in assessed valuation is explained by the fact that differ ent assessors always place a some what different valuation on prop erty; and it also appears that some property tu the town was missed when the last assessment was made. This, of course, should not be, aud at the last meeting of the council it was suggested that tbe city should take steps to see that all property is properly listed when assessments arc made hereafter. All the aldermen present thought the suggestion a good one, nnd it will probably be followed oiit when the next assessment is made. During too6 and 1907 the levy and the moneys received from the saloon, licenses brought the total revenue up to $2,100 or $2,200. When this is considered it would scent that $1,000 for the next year would . be .rather small, but the city's fire apparatus has now been paid for in full, and heretofore that has been quite a drain 011 the treas ury; nud, as, stated before, no pro vision was made for a marshal, au officer who, at different times, has drawn a salary of $60 a month. It is believed the city s expenses can be ke,pt within $1,000 by wi eco nomical administration. Receipts during 1008 from sale of cemetery lots, pool table and cigar licenses, dog tax, fines, show licenses and pound fees amounted to. something over $200. A similar amount will very probably be received during 1909 from the same sources. Death of t. Q. Tlttery. I.
