THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY. OREGON.
ATE IV COUNTY BOOMERS.
Now that the legislature is about
to convene the never-failing "new
county" boomer is abroad in the
land again, worse than ever before,
and nearly every crossroads village
in the state wants a new county
struck off so as to make it the
county seat. A correspondent writ
ing from Mitchell to the Prineville
Journal last week, 'bleeves that
Mitchell would make a good coun
ty seat, if only a new county were
formed around it, including all of
Gilliam county south of Fossil.
He presents the very good and
picturesque argument that with
Mitchell as county seat, many a
dollar would be spent there, in the
saloons, etc., that now goes to Can
yon City, Prineville and Condon.
Loaded with a gripsack fulT of such
argument, the new county boomers
will ask the legislature to grant
them this "long-felt want."
We do not believe that there are
half a dozen men living in Gilliam
county south of Fossil who would
prefer crossing the treacherous,
unbridged John Day river and im
passible mountainous roads to go
to Mitchell as county seat in pref
erence to Condon, which is only
half the distance and good roads
all the year round. Besides, Gil
liam county has not an inch of ter
ritory to spare and has no desire to
be divided. There isn't a county
in the state with the seat of govern
ment so convenient to all of its
people as in this county at present.
The following sensible advice
from the Oregonian will prove in
teresting reading to the new coun
ty boomers and rain-bow chasers:
The legislature will make no
mistake if it persistently refuse to
consider the schemes for county
division that will be urged upon
its attention by enthusiastic repre
sentatives of towns aspiring to
county-seat honors. There is not
in the whole state of Oregon a
county that would be benefitted by
being dismembered, nor is there a
section that would be made more
prosperous by assuming the burden
of a separate county organization.
There are already several counties
possessing but a small population
and not enjoying" a sufficient reve
nue properly to support county
government. They were created
because of the great area of the
counties to which they formerly
belonged, and the necessity of re
ducing it so that the people might
live within a reasonable distance
of the seat of government. This
condition does not exist now iu
any locality where there is a suffi
cient population to maintain a sep
erate county organization. The
proposed new counties consist of
territory already within reasonable
distance of. the present county
seats and enjoying fairly good com
munication by rail. The demand
for pew counties is made solely for
town-booming purposes, to give
towns added importance and the
extra business incidental to a county-seat
It is not worthy the at
tention of the legislature, when so
many important matters demand
its consideration. Let that body
give careful attention to the assess
ment laws, the employment of con
victs, the reduction of salaries,
the better government of our state
institutions, and other matters of
general concern, and give new
county boomers a cold shoulder.
. A , California exchange says:
"There is a probability that in the
next legislature a bill will be in
troduced, and possibly passed, to
abolish the grand jury system,
which is claimed by many to be a
useless expense to the counties."
Washington already has such a law
and Oregon should hasten to avail
herself of such a measure. , It!
would save the state thousands of Cubans purchase any war equip
dollars now spent on an old worn ments in this country.

Efforts will undoubtedly be made
to reduce the expenses of the vari
ous judicial districts. The addi
tional judge in , the third district,
the creation' of three new districts
in Eastern Oregon, do not seem to j
be confirmed as wise by experience.
This was to be expected, for the!
changes were opposed by practical
men familiar with the conditions.
Senator Steiw,er, a merchant and a
practical man, resisted the creation
of added districts in his section,
and similar protests came from the
third district. One judgeship could
be abolished in the district of
Multnomah county. It will be
time enough to restore it when the
work has resumed its former vol
ume. Oregonian. It is difficult
to understand why Morrow county
was cut on irom the ah district,
as our joint senator, representative,
circuit judge and district attorney
were all opposed to it.
Our readers will remember that
something over two years ago a
man was arrested, charged with
horse stealing, and at his prelim
inary examination before the jus
tice of the peace at Condon the
case was dismissed. A terrible
howl was raised by several parties
who were prejudiced against the
complaining witness, because the
costs were not taxed up to him by
the J. P. The following, clipped
from the Oregonian, will be of in
terest to them: "Judge Eakin de
cided Saturday that a committing
magistrate has no authority to im
pose costs upon a complaining
witness in a state case; that the
only remedy a party has who
claims to have been wronged, is a
civil action against the private
prosecutor." .
A reader asks: "What is the
trocha, so frequently referred to in
the dispatches from Cuba?" It is
a military defense or barrier, inclu
ding a barbed wire fence and ditch,
extending entirely across the island
of Cuba, its purpose being to pre
vent the insurgents passing from
one province into another, or from
massing their force for a given
movement The average width of
the island is less than 70 miles; in
some places it is much narrower
than this. It is therefore possible
for Weyler with his 200,000 soldiers
in Cuba, to string a line of men en
tirely across the island, and have
them so near to each other that
theoretically it would be impossi
ble for any considerable number of
insurgents to cross the line.
The state board of equalization
has completed its work for the
year. The board .raised assess
ments $9,413,293, making the
gross equalized value of property
in the state $151,863,114. The ex
emptions are $8,684,699, leaving
the net taxable property of the state
$143,175,515, or $1,269,911 great
er than that of 1895. The ex-,
penses of the session were $3,840.
97. As there is only $2,925. 70 on
band to pay the expenses of the
board the coming' legislature will
be called upon to make up the de
ficiency. The board raised the
Gilliam county assessment from
$1,355,579 to $1,372,658, an in
crease of $17,079.
Judging from reports a great
deal of money will be used at 8a-
tlemin the senatorial contest this
month. A big part of the republi
can campaign fund sent out by the
national republican committee was
held back from disbursement dur
ing the June campaign and is in
the hands of those who will know
how to use it during the senatorial
fight It is said that Corbett, the
Portland millionaire, will spend
$100,000 to secure a seat in the
United States senate.
