A number of the cltlaen of thl dis
trict met Saturday and voted a 6- mi II
tax and also mill to pay the inter
eat due on bonds, making a total of 734
mills. This tax will bring in about $U0,
a the taxable property in the district
amount to about $80,000. A there it
considerable Indebtedness Incurred, we
believe it would have been better to vote
a 10-mill tax while they were at it, but
it is too late now.
A private letter from Hon. J. E
David at Salem concludes thus: "The
hold-up still continues, with no pros
pect of any change. I am torry for the
taxpayers, for I thought I would be able
to so on record a voting for reduction
of expenses, which meant to ourcitixent
equally at much a to elect a senator.
While it i one of the highest duties of
the legislature to elect a senator, it is
equally of a much importance to have
an economical administration of state
affairs, and neither can be done if mem
bers-elect refuse to qualify and proceed
to business."
Believing that it would not be to the
beat interests of thit county to annex
any portion of Grant county to Gilliam
several parties last week circulated
remonstrance against annexation and in
a couple of day received the signatures
of a majority of the taxpayers and legal
voters of thl county, and this without
going over much more than one-half of
the county. It is firmly believed that
fully nine-tenths, if not more, of the
taxpayers of this county are opposed to
annexing anv more territory. Theconn
ty is just the right size the way it is
Sherifl Wilcox took the remonstrance to
Salem the first of the week.
Reform in the school laws is urgently
needed and is being demanded by every
one connected with the public schools,
Most strongly urged is a change in con
nection with teacher' certificates and of
this there Is greatest need. As the law
is, an inexperienced candidate need only I

During the cold spell, by some book
or crook, water got into one ot the
cylinder. It caused the company to
boy a new pump, which was put in the
first of the week. It looked like old
times to see men hauling water about
town in barrels toaupply thecity. They
are very heavy pumps, a they have to
raise the water over 2U0 feet to tbe res
ervoir. Laat Monday evening the K of P lodge
of thi place gave a fine sopper, to which
their wives and friends were invited to
attend. After the routine work of the
order was gone through with, the even
ing was spent in playing whist and
other pastime gauiea nntil time for
lunch, when all quit, to partake of the
many good things that they (the wives)
had nreDsred for the occaeion. By
unanimous vote the evening entertain
ment was declared a grand success.

A petition is being generally signed
here asking the county court to change

hut thev want some one in their own

The climate on the river is the finest

when it comes to climate.
We do not know" of a taxpayer in
Southern Gilliam who favors the change
our county court has just made in the
road districts. What in thunder has got
over our county court? It is next to
impossible for the taxpayers to pay their
countv. school and state taxes, without
saddling such unnecessary burdens onto
them as this road tax and coyote bounty
tax. For goodness' sake, let n work
out all the taxes we can; we are all
stout and don't care how hard the work
is. There is general dissatisfaction
about this matter all over the county.
If the taxes must be increased and cash
paid, the people over here prefer letting j
it go towards building a court house at
Condon. .
We regret that the remonstrance
against the annexation of a portion of
Grant county to Gilliam was not circu-
lated in the south end of Gilliam coun
ty, a every voter and taxpayer, with
few exceptions, south of Fossil, onld
gladly have signed it. The people over
here are unanimous against the annexa
tion of any more territory tothiscounty.
Grant county is almost bankrupt' by the
criminal element in the very section
of country that wants to be annexed to
this, and the same fate await Gilliam if
it is taken In. The fow people in this
county who favor annexation can not
conceal the real object; it ia so trans
parent that any child can see through it.
The same "sneak" was attempted two
yeara ago but failed, and we hope it will
meet the same fate this time. J. H. P.
