' L The Oreg-on I^egleter F rank 8. II aadinw , P obushkb . FRIDAY, JAWA RY 20, 1888 The Reporter takes us to task for our remarks on the tax levy, and says: “The county court reduced the county tax one and six-tenths mills, and as they had nothing to do with the state tax it seems as if some praise should be given in stead ti censure.” We did not cen sure the court, but simply Baid that the levy should have been no more for this year than last. The tax- - payers were told by the McMinn- ' ville people (and certain members of the court joined directly or in- directy in circulating the report) that in case the county seat should be relocated no increase of taxes would be necessary to erect new buildings. A b a .public journal the R egister considers it a duty to work for the beBt interest of the people. And we still contend that the taxpayers had i-eason to expect only such increase of the levy as •was caused by the state tax. In the meantime the errors found in the assessment still keep rolling up the deficiency, and it is altogether probable that Yamhill county will have to pay state tax on several thousand dollars, on which it will not be able to collect one dollar in taxes on the assessment. The principal cause of this is that the same property has been assessed to two parties. We thank the Reporter for the dwmpliment it pays the R esister when it says we have better oppor tunity for gettihg county news than it has. Michigan, 700 miles; Montana, 616 miles; Missouri, 554 miles; Ala bama, 515 miles; and Indian terri tory, 499 miles. It will thus be seen that the greatest activity has been in the west, northwest and southwest. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road laid 1,368 miles, being more than any other. Accord ing to the Railway Age the total railroad mileage in the United States is nearly 151,000 miles. The railroads built last year involved an outlay of about $300,000,000, which was provided for almost entirely by new bonds and stock issues. It is not expected that the current year will witness any approach to the record of 1887; and some es timates put the probable figures as low as 6,000 miles. NEW TO-ÜAÏ. FIFTY YEARS attheFRONT.
