UNANIMOUS FOR COUNTY DIVISION MASS MEETING ENDORSES IT New County Could be Administered More EooiiiiiiiIciiIIt and Willi tlreater Heneflts to Tax payers. The mass meeting called Satnrduy afternoon for the purpose of form lux a permanent orniiizatiou to work to ward the purpose of securing a new county in the western end of Wasco county wan well attended and devel oped the fact that tbe movement had buck 1 nit from unexpected eonrcea. A vote taken to express the sentiment of the meetiuK as for or against it was uuauimously in its favor. While there were gome that were opposed to it, if it could lie clearly demon strated that it would cause taxed to not be higher than they were under the administration ot the present county, there were many more who favored the proposition even if the taxes should lie somewhat higher. The argument of tbe hitter hoiug Unit the increase iu tuxes would be offset by the reveuue to be derived from the location of the county sent nearer at home and tbesav.ug of tnileiige and tbe increased valuatiou of property that would uiitnrally ensue. liy a full aud free discussion of the question, however, it was demonstrat ed to tbe satisfaction of tbe great ma jority piesent that taxes would uot be higher and were very likely to be lower. The creation of Kliermau county was used us an illustration in this contention by several gentlemen who had lived iu that putt of SliortiiMti county when it was cut oil from the old county anil essuyed a government of its own. The deductions made were to the etl'ect that if Sherman county with a smaller populiition anil 1 much loss valuation ut the tune of its creation than the proposed Cascade ijouuty would have, could and did ad minister its all lilt s more econoiiiioally than Wasco county had done, there was 110 reason why the satuo thing could uot be done in reference to tbe auction to be known as Cascade county. the meeting was announced in the (ilttoior to be held in the Opt ra House t i o'clock and was culled to order shortly after that time by ,1. L. Hen derson, one of the Kepublicun com mitteemen who Jiad signed the call. Tbe city and valley were about equally represented and tbe hall was well rilled. Mr. Henderson iu a few words stated that the meeting hud been cull ed to consider the matter ot tukiug steps to ('rente the new enmity and asked what aotiou the gentlemen pres ent wisned to tuke in the inaltei'. l' W. Angus niu.de a motion that Mr. Henderson lie made chairman ol the meeting, aud as Mr. Henderson was temporarily acting iu that capac ity. H. V. Davidson put the motion after it had boen pioperly seconded, aud tha gentleman was elected. 1 IS. Morton moved that I). McDonald be made secretary of tbe meeting utid the motion prevailed. Chairman Uentloraon t lie 11 suited that a committee consisting of P. . Davidson, S. 1 Fonts and N. O. Evans that bad been appointed at a previous meeting to secure statistics showing tbe cost of government of the new couuty, had Mulshed its work aud submitted tue report and asgeu to bo relieved from further duty. The secretary was instructed to read the report, selecting those propor tions of it which gave the Informa tion desired. It was substantially tbe game as the summary published in the last issue of 'he Olacier. Mr. Morton moved that the report be accented and the committee dis charged aud the motion was teennd ed, but H. l' Davidson moved us an ameudment that as the committee was familiar with the work lu hand and had worked well in the cause, that it be continued and work in con junction with the chairman aud sec retary of the Cascade County Astoci atioo. Mr. Morton and bis seconder hav'ng accepted the umeudmeui, it was carried and tbe committee con tinued. A. I. Mason then moved that 111 or der to get the sentiment of ihe meet ing iu regard to tbe matter in bund that i "be the sense of that body that the new couuty should be ere ated." The chairman then said that before he put the motiou be would liko to have some expression of opinion on the question. Mr. Koberts said that be thought that wpb a step in the right direction and that it would be best not to take definite action too precipitately. That be was in favor of tbe new couuty if it could be shown that it was a good business proposition, aud asked for information ou tbe subject. P. a. Davidson, as chairman of the committee on statistics, then explain ed to the meeting bow the figures sub mitted had been arrived at. Explain ing that the estimates of salaries of tbe new county olllclals bad lieon taken from the bill which was presented iu the legislature by A. A. J ay no at its last session for the purpose of accom plishing tbe same eud as was uow in view. That the amounts were small, but that he tLought that it wag advis able to start tbe government of tbe proposed county modestly. That there were two items of expense that bad been lt-lt out of tbe estimate. Namely, that of County Superintend ent ot Schools and Couuty Treasurer. Tbe former oillee had uot beeu in cluded owing to tbe movement now being made to 0 nsolidate the school districts Id Hood Kiver valley into one district. It would not be easy to estimate on a salary for this ollloe under the circumstances, but even if it was added to tbe amount it would not very materially chauge the esti mate of 17 mills for the running ex penses of the county. As to the posi tion of treasurer, he bad bud assur ances that the oilice would be accept ed by an officer of either of tbe bunks for tbe use of the money witb a uom inal salary of $2 a year, or whatever amount was necessary in order to have tbelr bond accepted. "If," said Mr. Davidson, "tbe proposition to divide the couuty was a good one two years ago, It is doubly good now. Witb the enormous iu crease in our valuation during the past year of Uoti'V-MS or 61 per cent, as compared to rest or tbe county with JTu'l.oOO, or 21 per cent, it is uot chi merical or unreasonable to expect that it may reach itWu.UtJ0 in like period, Witb the completion of tbe Mount Hood railroad aud the two large lum ber mills now iu course of construc tion, to say nothing of tbo immense increase Iu tbe apple growing indus try calling for the purchase and im provement of uow idle lauds, this val uation must increase rapidly. It can't go hack it must go forward, and a county seat located at Hood Hirer will add to the valuation of evi ry dol lar's worth of property iu the pro posed county." Mr. Masou called the attention of the meeting to the large amount of money spent each year in mileage 111 going to The Dalles aud that which must necessarily be spent there utter arriving aud said that even if it was necessary to make tbe estimate higbet than outlined by the committee it would be money well invested, but that he would like to hear from sever al gentlemen who were present who had lived in Sherman county ut the time it was created. Mr. Castner suid he would like to ask where tbe line would be placed in case the uew couuty was created ami what the attitude of the Mosier resi dents were ou tbe matter. Mr. Mason moved that a committee be appointed to coufer with the Mo sier people, but before tbo motion was seconded Mr. Henderson asked 11. R Davidson to take tbe chair us he would like to say a few words. He then said that he bad had 11 con freence with a gentleman from The Dalles Saturday morning who was in a position to speak with some author ity on this mutter, 1 nd who bad suid that if the line was placed between here and Mosier that lie didn't think there would be any opposition to tbe proposed new county ut The Dalles. However, suid Mr. Henderson if the the Mosier people want to stuy in Wasco couuty, let them do 40, It was for them to decide. He stated that ho had been in I'ortluud for several weeks iu tbe hospital and that d tir ing that time he hud had consider blc conversation ou a division of the county with meu who had come to see lum, aud thought the matter could be arranged with Multnomah county to take tbo portion of that county on this side of the ilig Sandy Mver. llie citizens of Multnomah county and Portland were very friend ly to Hood Kiver. They realized that it was in very close touch with them and that tbe country to the went ol the mountains between here and Mo sier was identically the same as their own ; that their interests were identi cal aud that be had 110 doubt what ever but thut the matter could bo ar ranged. As to the mutter of salaries be said that if the county wits created be would be willing to serve as county judge tor two yearlor nothing, apart Itoiii tbe actual expense incurred while iu the porl'oruiHiico of his duty, und ho thought thut there were other meu iu tbe community who wttd; do the sumo thing. In concluding Mr. Henderson said that be would, ou tbe day after tbe bill was signed creating the now county guarantee an incren e of 20 per cent 011 every acre of fruit laud in Hood Kiver valley. N. C. Kvuns, who was ou the com mittee to secure stutUtics in regard to the cost of the new county two years ago when the bill for this pur pose was introduced iu the legisla ture, and who was again ou it this yeni, but who has since experienced a change of heart in regard to the mat ter, then read a statement which he bad prepared subsequent to the ilrst one which tended to show that the couuty could uot lie ruu for the amount bh outlined by the committee, of which he was one. He endeavored to show thut what bad been done in Sherman couuty could uot be done iu this section of the oontity, but hit,1 ur gumeut was unconvincing, and was -ihot to pieces by Mr. Murkbam, who, taking Mr. Kvuu's figures as a busis, showed that even bis estimate could be used and the atfairs of the uew couuty administered for less than it was paying under the rule of Wuhco ootinty. Mr. McDonald, who wus formerly a resident of Sherman couuty, theu said that he would like to say a word, and stated that iu unswer to the state ment of Mr. Kvuns that the reason that Sherman county's roads didn't cost them as much as they had under the administration of Wasco county Alia thut they didn't spend as much money ou tliem. He would suy thut ' the authoriti.s of Sherman county dismi-sed all the road super visors and employed a county super intendent of rouds at a salary. This oltlcial collected the taxes and attend ed to all the business iu connection with the roads and effected a saving of more than 1,000 a year, which he tinned over to the general fund be came it wasn't needed. Tbe doing away with the road supervisors, Mr. McDonald suid, could uot have been accomplished bad they remained in Wasco county. Another statement of Mr. Evans that it cost a less per cap ita tax to ruu Wai-co couuty than it did Shermun county, Mr. McDonald said was easily explained.
