Leader Tells the House That Fiscal Year
Ending Tuesday Will Show
a Surplus
Washington, June 27.—Fortified
with official figures from the treas­
ury department, Democratic Leader
Underwood told the House today
there would be no deficit in govern­
ment finances, and that any predic­
tion of one was a dream, based on
wishes springing from political anta-,
gonism.
In analysis of the governments
financial situation, he 'announced
that the total receipts of the gov­
ernment for the fiscal year ending
next Tuesday would aggregate
$733,000,000, leaving a surplus of
$30,000,000 and that with only a
half year’s operation of the income
tax.
That did not include Panama
Canal expenditures, estimated at
$35,000,000. Next year, he'declar­
ed, Panama expenditures “would
practically pass away, and the canal
receipts would pay running ex­
penses.
Mr. Underwood’s speech was in
support of the senate amendment
to the legislative appropriation bill
to increase the treasury fund for
collecting the income tax from
$1,000,0.00 to $1,500,000, which the
House finally agreed to. Mr. Under­
wood explained that the increase
was for collection of the income tax
from persons and corporations try­
ing to evade it.
“For next year,” he predicted,
“we can be assured 'of cdllefeting
more than $100,000,000 from the
income tax, even if no more pro­
portionately is collected than was

A Reunion and Barbecue of the Early
Settlers of Oregon Afford
Much Pleasure
The pioneers of the Crawfords­
ville Valley met at the old school
house site in Crawfordsville, when
they had a glorious reunion and
barbecue one day last week and to
say it was a success, would be put­
ting it mild.
The meet was called to order by
Chairman W. H. Scott, J. H. Rebhan
of Brownsville, invoked the Divine
blessing and George Findley gave
an address of welcome.
The school house was built by E.
P. Large in 1866, at a cost of $769.
Rev. W. R. Bishop ..taught the school
for" a number of years.
There was a number of speeches
from pioneers, then dinner was an­
nounced and such a dinner is seldom
enjoyed. Bert Templeton had the
O. K. and the big hog, roasted to a
finish. To see the way it was en­
joyed by all, was a great treat. E.
P. Large was called to give the din­
ner turn for the house. He was
given three cheers. No pen can
do the occasion justice, for there
were, old school mates, neighbors
and friends from Eastern Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. Some had
not met for 40 years and to study
the happy expressions on their faces
as they clasped hands, was the
■greatest scene ye scribe had ever
witnessed.
One of the great events of the
day was the fact of the presence of
four Bishop children and some of
the most beautiful old songs, which
took ‘one back to the longtime ago
when we were all youths. But now
time has left its mark on our locks,
sòme of which are as white as wool.
This causes one sober thought, when
we see what changes time has
wrought.
Those who have obtained their
education here have nearly all made
good. Some have become doctors,
others lawyers, merchants, legisla­
tors and business men of rare ability
all of. whom gave praise to Mr.
Bishop, their instructor.
Officers elected for the next re­
union were J. H. Scott, president
and Mrs. John Guyon, secretary.

Zacatecas Exhausts the Supply and
General Carranza Has Given
No Aid
El Paso, Tex., June 28.—General
Villa’s campaigns apparently are
postponed indefinitely. Lack of
ammunition' is given as the principal
cause. However some recent dev­
elopments yet concealed in the
Carranza-Villa estrangement were
believed by partisans of both factions
here today to have much to Co with
the question below this point. The
battle of Zacatecas, taken by Villa
last Week, occasioned the expendi­
ture of nearly all has ammunition
in four days, almost continuouus
fighting. Since then Villa has not
been able to get more ammunition
from the. United States on account
of the continued strict embargo by
United States troops along the
frontier. It was said he has not been
assisted in this regard by General
Carranza, who has ammunition in
the-arsenals at Monterey and Saltillo.
Villa only has the little ammunition
left after the four days’ fighting at
Zacatecas and an unstated quantity
compared with the federate there.
General Villa returned today to Tor­
reon, according to the statements
from his dated at that place. Some
matters connected with his strained
relations with Carranza, it is said,
will be taken up by Villa as well as
his proplems in securing ammuni­
tion for his army.
Mountain Road Open.
N. J. Nye and his crew of men
came down the first of the week to
remain until after the Fourth. Mr.
Nye informs the Tribune that the
road is now open for travel, the un­
safe bridgs having been temporarily
repaired. Mr. Nye .expects to' re­
build these bridges as soon after the
Fourth as practiable. He reports
the road to now be in good condition.
