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.
The governor outlined then and
there several Hues of railroad which

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

Year if the weather permits. This

he fully expects to bring back the

"Prom evciythiug I am able to

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.
