Under the new apportionment, of
course, Multnomah leads with the
largest sobool population. Her school
population is 39,634 and her allotment
of sohool money is $76,097.28. Mar
ion is second with a sonool population
of 11,753 and an apportionment of
$225,675.76. Lane is third with a
school population of $10,492 and a cor
responding apportionment of $20,144.
64. Claokamas is fourth with hssobool
population of 9,508 and an apportion
ment of $18,255.86. Umatilla's ap
portionment $12,130.56 based on a
sobool population of 6,318.
On August 1, 1910, the total of the
principal of the oommon sobool fond
amounts to $6,000 000 in round fig
ures, of wbiob $5,000,000 is iuvested
in first mortgage on land within the
state of Oregon; $250,000 is invested
in sobool district bonds; $700,000 in
certificates of sohool land and the
small working balanoe is being loaned
to applioants on first mortgage loans.
There is praotioally no delinquency io
the matter of interest payments, all
patrons of the fund Deing required to
pay interest promptly as it acornes.
The result of this lRrge apportion
ment will be to reduce materially the
tax levies for the common sobools in
1911 and still allow more funds for
the upbnilding of the sobools than in
any previous year in the history of
the state. The continued sale of
sohool lands and ready demand for the
sobool fond among responsible bor
rowers assures oontinned inoreaae in
the interest to be apportioned each
year. - - . - j -
Another Big Apple Orchard.

By spring tbe owners intend to have a
complete irrigation system. The wat
er is to come from a large well to be
sunk on tbe place. This projeot will
be one of tbe biggest 'ever attempted

trict as a standard.
