Perhaps you have never heard of
this place. It is not very huge,
like many other places along the
line of the O. P. died in growth
when the R. R. arrived.
We are on tide-water, and a nat
ural place for a townsite on the O.
and the county roads over which
all the travel with teams pass from
Corvallis to Newport.
Uncle Barney Morrison and wife
are the only old settlers remaining.
They . own a nice farm and are in
comfortable circumstances. Bnruy
upends his leisure hours in trapping
beaVer and other furs, at which he
is an expert.
Mr, Olson owns a fine farm that
is under the management of Messrs
Bhilock and Frer. The boys are
great workers and will soon have it
in a paying condition.
While we are not the largest town
m Lincoln county we do not expect
to be the smallc.it. Nature has
luced a mountain of what is now
tailed by experts to be the finest
ana uest rock 111 Uregon, at out
place, and within three or four huip
drecl yards of the railroad.'
Mr. John Howell, of Salem
bought forty acres of school land a
few years ago supposing it to be
good piece of land on the Yatpuina
Bay, but when lie came to view it
he was surprised to find a moun
tain of rock add worthless burnt
woods. Now it has proven to be
ol great value to lnm. 1 lie con
tractors are now on the ground ami
propose to open it at once as they
have contracts to fill within ,the
next thirty days; taking over thirty
car loads. Already we hear the
sulindfs of the blasts echoing through
the valley, telling us the men are
at work.
Barney says this means a boom
for Pioneer and we will soon hear
the sound of the saw and hammer.
Pioneer has lieen in a long site),
but we are awake now. The new
management of the O. P. seems to
put new life in everything along
the line.
E. W. Powers has come w'tb his
family from Oregon City and will
take an active part in tlje new town.
They will run a boarding house and
hotel for the accommodation of the
ttiarry men and traveling public.
Mr. Powers needs no recommenda
tion as landlord.

E. E.Sharon, city assesor of Pen
dleton, wrote to George E. Cham
berlain, attorney general, for his
views concerning the Mauley -law
to see if Mr. Chamberlain supported
the opinion entertained here that
the assessment of the school district
and city must now be made under
that law.
The attorney general kindly re
plies at length to the letter, setting
forth many facts of interest in ex
planation of the new assessment
law. Mr. Chamberlain states that
he is clearly of the opinion that the
new law must now govern assess
ments, lie quotes Section 9 of the
act, which provides that "all laws
providing for assessors in or assess
ments of property by any school
district, incorporated town or city'
and all laws in conflict herewith be
be and the same are hereby repealed.
This repeals any other method of
procedure in direct terms.
The Mauley law, he says, was
filed February aist, 1893, in the
office 0! the secretary of the slate,
;ind while it was not approved by
the governor, on account of the em
ergency clause, it took effect, under
the decision of the supreme court
in the case of Brigs vs Mcliride, 17
Or., 460, from and after its passage.
Another paragraph in Mr. Cham
berlain's letter savs: "It is true
that' section 4 of the law requires
that each school district and incor
porate town and city shall notify
the county clerk of the rate per
cent of the levy made by it on or
before the first day of February,
Hid that it is impossible to comply
with said section because the time
had elapsed when the law took ef
fect. The provisions of section 4
are, it seems to me, directory, and
a failure to comply strictly there
with would not invaliilnte the as
sessment or the levy made thereon;
and the notice required to be given
under said section could be given
at any time before the meeting of
the county board of equalization."
So it appears that Pendleton's
assessment, and that of the school
district, must undoubtedly be made
by the assessor, and that the taxes
can not be collected until those by
the county are gathered by the
sheriff. Those do not become de
linquent until April of 1K94.

The tax roll for iHya now in the
hands of County Clerk Jones foots
up in valuation to $''9,1,213.63'.
1 ne levy Deuig 22 mills makes a
total tax of fi 5,250.80, about $7,otx
of which will go to the funds for
county purposes. Mr. Jones in
forms us that considerable property
owned by parties at Corvallis, and
situated in Lincoln county has been
omitted from the roll, which would
add about $i,o(xmore to the amount
of tax. This will probably be cor
rected upotr the proper demands.
Mr. Jones while in Corvallis last
week, also examined the delinquent
rolls in which Lincoln county is
interested f.'nd states that he esti
mates that Lincoln's orlion of
those taxes, which run back to
1SS3, will amount to about $7,000
outside of the delinquent railroad
taxes. Of course a portion of these
taxes are uncollectable, but with
the effort that we are assured Sher
i(T Lamlis will make, much of them
will be saved to Lincoln county.
1 he collection of these two taxes
will place the county in a very fa v
orable financial attitude, and will
make a light levy of taxes possible
until such a time as the county scjs
fit to erect county buildings.
