PIUNEVIL1.E. Dec. 8.-From near
ly every port or tho county tho tax
payers gathered Saturday to attend
tho meeting hero called for a discus
sion or tho budget of expense for
tho coming year. A expected, tho
rnilft Ifnm wna p(vn tliA ntf ..-
been proposed waa mndo by tho Coun
ty Court.
Judge Springer proponed that tho
eastern part or tho county bo given
$60,000 for road work and the west
aide only $1S,000. It wna planned to
peud $6000 on tho "high desort"
road from Ucnd. $6000 on Uie Mc
Konxlo and $5000 on the Iloegli
grndc. The $60,000 waa to bo used
on tho roods between Prlnovlllo nnd
Mitchell, Prlnovlllo nnd Dear Creek
and Prlnovlllo nnd Paulina. Thla
$76,000 wna to bo raised liv a 7-inlll
levy. Vlgoroua opposition to such a
Bchemo canto from tho western dele
gatlon, the chief spokesmen of which
were J. W. Ilrowcr of Redmond and
George Altken of Sinters. Tho east
aldera trlod to mako it appoar that
tho biggest and the grentest number
of taxpayers live on tho eaat aide, but
thla waa effectually contradicted by
tho figures or tho laat election.
Springer's .Idea was that the east
aide did not nave railroad transpor
tation and therefore nhould get tho
county roads, nnd he was strongly
auported by Isadora Myers and Wm.
Congloton as spokesmen of the eaat
alders. The Judge trlod to force n
vote on hla propositus,' but waa met
with audi ahnrp opposition that ho
let the matter drop.
F. King spoko ImjUi as an Indi
vidual and .aa .secretary of the Good
Roada Association. In the course ot
hla remarks ho mado tho atatnmont
that It you draw a lino north nnd
aouth approximately 5 miles eaat of
Prlnovlllo you would have nearly
$2,000,000 of assessable property on
tho cast 8ldo of tho lino and $0,000,
000.000 on tho west slda; thai It you
draw a lino north and aouth 7 in Ilea

wcat or I'rlnovllle you would hayo
approximately $3,000,000 (oxclu
alvo or l'rinovlllo) cast or thla line
and approximately $6,400,000 (ex
clualvo or Doiid) west or the line.
Enforcement of tho atato weed
law waa dlacunscd and it waa the sen
timent that a strict enforcement or
thla law would bankrupt the county.
Tho Item In the nudget regarding
tho county scaler waa taken up and
II. C. Kills ot Ucnd suggested that
this offlclal be placed on a lee. baala.
Tho suggestion met with approval.

LAIDLAW, Dec. 6. Tho last lick
orwork on the trestles which are to
support tho steel flume or the Tuma-
lo project reed canal has bcn done.
Tho atructurcs are very aufislantl
nlly built, with cement foundations
ror the benta and with the tlmbera
oil thoroughly bolted together. At
each fld or tho trestle work the ca
nal has been lined with concrete.
W. P. Butler, representing the
company that has the contract ror
furnlihlnj, tbo flume, was here today
and went over the ent'ro dlatanco
that la to bo flumed. Tho flume waa
to havo been delivered long before
thla date, but tho'comoany has not
been ublo to make tho first shipment
yet and the wlrea havo been kept
hot with messages regarding the
delivery of tho material. Mr. ut
lar promised that tho flume would bo
dellrercd beforo January 1. to which
dnto the company naa been granted
an extension or time.. The finishing
of tho flume Is being done In Port
land, the sheet steel being shipped
from tbo Eaat. It is probable that
even if the flume arrives by Janu
ary 1 it will not be hung until a
couple of months later, as tho camps
aro being shut down and will not be
reopened until spring work starts.
The excaration work on the canal
la nil coninleted except for the J.
J. Adams fantracta. Ho has about
25 men nnqa number of teama at
work, but taWrer Is a big amount ot
excavating yet to oo done, lamely r
rock .work. Tho contractors, who
bid tor work on tho canal have 'not
made any money, na they took the
work too low and several of them
have loat.
Axel Dye. one of tho auperlnten
denta on the project, la leaving next
week for a visit to hla old home in
Norway, to be gone tor several
months.
Men raid Off Saturday.
Tho men on the project were giv
en a very pleasant surprise today,
when the project offlclala camo
around and banded them their
checks tor laat month's work Thla
aurprlae waa not in getting tho
checks, but In getting them ao early
In the month, as heretofore they have
had to wait from a month to alx
weeka to get paid tor tbelr tabors.
The Improvement la duo to tho new
payroll system which la now In per
fect working order. The men all got
checka drawn on tbo First National
Hank of Rend, and a largo number
of them went to town tonight to get
them cashed. The pavroll amounted
to a little more han $6100.
