O. Thompson, now a residont of this city, but who still has Interests iu Sherman county where be lived, was recognizod by the chuirman and said that he was in the part of Wasoo county In 1H!U, at wbluh time it was cut olf and created luto Sherman county. The population of this sec tion at that time. Mr. Thompson said, was l,0.ri() people and the assessed valuation 9210,000 and that less than half of the laud in the now county was deeded. The F.astorn Oregon Land company had nil of the odd suotious in a strip of lund three miles long that ran the length of the county which was in litigation and on whlc no taxes were paid. Hherman oounty's part of the debt of Wasoo county was $14,000, which it paid. It also helped to iinv for the bridge over the les chutes river and built two roads lead- lug up to the bridge which cost the new county f7,OOU. A court house was constructed costing 10,000 and three road graders purchased at an exponseof t,H00. "Hut," said Mr. Thompson, "at no time since Slier man county has been created has the tax levy exceodod that of Wasco county. The average tor the past three years has boon 15 mills and the county ollloinls have always been paid as much or a littlo nioro than they could oani lu any other capacity.'' The valuation of property tboio, this gentleman said, was about one sWth of its market value, and he exhibited a tax notice for a quarter suction of 1(10 acres which showed that he was assessod this yoar on this piece of land about f J including the poll tax. and produced evidence to show that the land was worth iu the open mar ket li.lOO. Another tax rocolpt which he had recolved showed that city or town property was asso'sod on a fair basis equally as low as farm laud. II. M. Abbott thou spoke in favor of the movement, saying that there had been a full discussion of the ques tion : that the conconsus of opinion was for it and that he suggested that it row be put to a vote of tho moot- U. J. Howling said that tie was heartily in favor of it. If the new county could be run within the limits of tho estimate of the commluoe, well and good, but even if it should oost more ho would still be in favor of it, as tho benefits to be derived would outweigh the cost, and It should be done us a matter of public welfare. After some furthei discussion in which Mr. Huberts said be thought every one was sntlsllod and pleased that a full ami satisfactory talk had been had on the question of county division, and which ho was sure had borne good results, and after a plea by Mr. Ktaten who had come in late and had not heard the motion which wsa about to bo put, that it "be the seutiiueut of the meeting that the new oouuty bo created," it was unan imously carried. A motion was then made and car ried endorsing the candidacy of A. A. Jayue for representative to intro duce the bill if elected lu the legisla ture. On motion 3. Lt Henderson and I. McDonald wore elected permanent president and secretary of the Cas cade County Association, which is subject to meet at the call of the president and secretary. The meeting then adjourned.

WANT WHITE MEN FOR SECTION HANDS It is said to be the plan of the O. H. & N. to displace the Japanese sec tion men on its road with white men. The Fast Oregouiau in speaking of tho matter says: "If plaits of O. H. A N ollicials are carried out, every Japanese and Chi nese laborer on the trucks of that sys tem will be replaced with a white man as rapidly as suitable white labor can be secured. There are 2,000 laborers 01 the trucks of the system including all l's branches, and in very few places are white men now employed, Japanese are iu tho majority on the sections, while a few white men are worked in extra gangs doing special track work. White men with families will be employed, it is said, wherever possi ble and thus a permanent class of track men will be encouraged to set tle permanently aid remain in the employ of the company. Xt Is said that the otllclals nave pre ferred white men all along If such could have boon secured In the past. but owing to the shiftloss charaoter of the men who applied for this class of labor end the uncertainty of them remaining with the position, the com pany was forced to employ foreigners who would stick to their jobs. If white meu are employed It will mean the construction of many new living quarters and dwellings along the lino, as the present bunk bouses are not suitable for the accommoda tion of families."
