That tho rapid thawing of snow
hiis seriously hampered plans ror

by reports coming in from various

found that tho "Jacks" arc ignoring
tho carefully prepared rations or

are lustead subsisting on grasses,
roots, nnd winter grains.
Thu first cold nlgbt following the

It Is explained that tho rodents can
now easily dig through the snow- to

COUNTY BUDGET
MAY GAIN
STATE TAX ADVANCE
RESPONSIBLE
Hpcctat Items Causing Advance Not
to bo Conildrml sir Affected by
HIx: Per Cent Limitation,
Court Decides.
Deschutes county's budget will In
nil probability be approximately $12.
000 greater thau at first announced,
us the rc-sult of ftn unexpected ad
vance of ?22,Q0O In' the stato tax, It
was Indicated by County Judga
W. D. Darnei and Commissioner C.
II. Miller, who were In session Tues
day fternoon to determine tho exact
revision of tho estimate of county ox
peiines for tho coming year. This
will mean a total which is expected
to reach approximately JH6.000.
In drawing up the budget origin
ally submitted to the people, thu
court had figured op an Increase, of
12,000, tho amount allowed by tho
six per cent statutory limitation, and
when tho final report from Salesa
was received, It was thought at first
that the greatly Increased flgura
would mean a. drastic paring of es
timates for county expenses To
day, however, it was determined that
the additions to tUe amount due the
stato were the result of specially
voted appropriations, such as the
market road tax, and soldiers' and
sailors' aid. and that as these appar
ently did not figure la tho six per
cent advance allowed by law over
last year, the county would not
necessarily be held to the $134,314
estimate originally proposed, which
Just came within the, sir per eeot
limitation. . jrt
As the county budget bad alrey
allowed for a ?3,00g.,advaBco in tho.
stato tax, and bad Included a one mitt'
market road Uu, the latter Hew.
amohhtlnsSto bstweca $8,000 asd
13.000. the Bxuabers of tho coart.
In considering the" situation, states
tentatively that "th county -government
would be Justified In addiac
$12,000, in rpupd, numbers, to. the
budget. On this basis, It Is thought,
there will bu little radical cfcamge
necessary from any of the Items al
ready virtually decided on.
