They are members of Neigh

the 'California city to Oregon.
The old folks average 80 years.
Taxes Causa Mora
A spokesman explained that
"property taxes" had caused the
lodge's leaders to make the
move.
"We operate in all the nine
western states, and California is
the only one that taxes the prop

Portland, grand guardian, said.
"We won't have to pay any prop
erty taxes in Oregon."

expensive to operate. The 84 old
sters had been living there in a
400-room building, but now will
move into the Columbia Gorge

purchased. The hotel has 48
rooms and a 17-room annex.
