To 1U friends and readers every where, Tho Bulletin extends its greetings with wishes for the hap pleat of holiday scssons. EGGS AND THE HOUSEWIFE In Chicago they aro having fedora! Investigations of tho high cost of cpss. Tho blame therefor scorns to be divided botweon the hen's mid winter inattention to busluesA and the far-sighted policies of the cold stor ago magnates. In Dond the house wives complain Just as do their sis ters In tho Windy City, only they don't know Just whom to blame. At all events tho other day ono lady de cided that the truly proper way to "beat tho game" and secure absolute ly freshness at moderate prices was to, go directly to tho producer. No more doubtful caso eggs from any middleman grocer, said she. No mora high prices and dlsagrccablo experiences when her husband broke the shell of the presumably fresh egg nt breakfast. No Indeed! She would buy direct from tho honest farmer. Sho did. Tho honest farmer even delivered the eggs In person at the door. They wero nice looking eggs. When she questioned, he said, "Oh, yes, they camo from tho ranch." But tho dream ended. Soon too many veter ans turned up among thoso "ranch eggs." Then one afternoon the lady's husband discovered tho secret. Ho saw tho farmer hauling cases of eggs cold storage oggs from tho depot to tho ranch. He told the truth all right thoso eggs "came from the ranch?" Ho simply neglected to nar rate their previous history. There after that lady abandoned buying from tho honest farmer, and returned to the usual trade channels. Moral: It is not all gold that glitters. MUNICIPAL COMPARISONS. JuBt now when local taxes loom up largely. It Is worth while to see what two other Eastern Oregon communi ties are doing. La Prando has an estimated popu lation of nearly 7.000. I to munici pal tax levy Is 18 mills. In 1913 the estimated value of taxable prop erty there was $5,000,000, the as sessed valuation $3,219,200. La Grande's total debt Is $625,347. That rather staggering figure Is made up as follows: special assessments $251, 347: general obligation bonds, (in cluding $210,000 for water system) $284,000; and a floating debt of $90, 000. If wo are correctly informed, the present mlllago makes no pre tense of furnishing a means of reduc ing the floating debt, which Is repre sented simply by outstanding interest bearing warrants. Pendleton has a levy of 2C mills. Its estimated population Is quoted at C.000. Its total debt Is $600,000, of which $495,000 is in tho form of general obligation bonds. $246,000 of that amount being water bonds. Pendleton's assessed valuation is $5.0C2.0S0. Hend has an estimated population of between 2200 and 2C00. The esti mated valuation Is $980,000. and the assessed valuation $390,816. Tho tax levy last year was 14 mills. This year it is 24 mills (with however, a lower school levy.) Tho city's total indebtedness 1b $60,000, tho 20 year sewer bonds now outstanding; with paid Interest, for one vear. La Grande and Pendleton aro both good towns." They aro sound. They offer good risks for all wisely-made investments. Their average assessed valuation is about 4,140,000. Their average population is perhaps CS00. Their average debts In excess of $675, 000. Their average levy Is 22 U mills. Altogether, tho comparison is sat isfying. Hand's position Is sound and strong. Even with far less prod igal examples than the municipalities quoted, it is readily apparent that Bend has a wide margin of resource and city-Improvement opportunity before It even in the immediate fu ture, if its oltiienshlp so desires.
