Tlio election on tho $45,000 bond Insiio for tho purchaso of property and erection of n high school build lute will tako place next Haturday a week, May 10. From Kcueral Indi cations thcro seems n fair prospect for a cloto election, especially as those most directly Interested In Retting- tho school located In Wlestorla, tho site that will bo put up, are cam- palKtiliiR hard. Ono fact In connection with tho matter that, It Is ballove.d has not been Kuncrnlly known, was developed yesterday, In nn Interview with J. I. Knyi'H, manaRer of Tho llend Com lisny. Mr. Keycs Is frankly opposed to tho proposed bond Issue. tnklnK tho Kround that It Is more than tho town need or can ufTord, and that tho hlRhor taxes may prove a very se rious obstaclo to those contemplatlnR local manuracturltiK Investment. "Hut what I especially want to say," added Mr. Keycs, "Is that Tho llend Company owns sIlRhtly moro than half of tho proponed alto. I want this to bo known rlRht now. Up to tho present It has been Reuerally un derstood that Mr. Wlcst wna tho solo owner of tho tract, and I hao under sood that this has been usod as an nrRiimnnt In favor of this property as opposed to tho other tracts offered by this company."

If the noxt turn over from the sheriff to. nn largo as I think It should be. (about $20.000 1 the county will be out of debt once moro, for n short tlmo at least. Tho county Is owing moro thnn tho nmount mentioned aoove, ns thero Is a large number of warrants Issued which have not been presented for registration. "Tho total Assessed valuation of the county for 1912 Is $9,979,152 agslnst $9,531,013 for 1911, a gain In valuo of $448,139. "Tho mlllngo for this amount is divided ns follows: Utatc and coun ty, 17.45 mills, general school 3 mills, high school 2 mills, road fund i mill, library 1-20 mill, total 24.

These this paper hopes to havo ex plained next week. CEMENT STARTS STORY OF STEAL JUST A YARN, SAYS JUDGE SPRINGER county would then have about $100, 000 on which to run for a year. Commenting on this statement, the bisters Herald has the following to say; "For anyone not familiar with county affairs and tho collection and disbursement of taxes such state ments only dccclvo them for the tlmo being. Tho assessed valuation of Crook county for 1912 was $9,979, 162. Tho county levy was 24 mills of which 7.76 mills Is for speclsl funds, leaving 10.2b mills or $1C2, 1C1.22 with which to pay off $117, 000 of Indebtedness and conduct tho county for a year. A conservctlvo cstlmato of tho expense of keeping up the court house for a year is placed at $66,000.
