Happy Valley is increasing in value,
slowly but surely the Ranchers are clear
ing up their lands and doing all they can
to improve their homes, aud in short
time Happy Valley will be rightly named
Every one residing here will be happy.
Our genial friend, George Wey-

" engaged in the logging business, and
we surmise is getting rich, by the num-
Der of logs that glide over the skids

bloom are 10 be seen here quite plenti-
fully. Strawberries almost as large as
marbles arc quite common.
believe the good citizens of Happy
Valley are going To have school meet
ing the second Saturday in December,
AMI | think there will be goodly con-
gregatioO, for they all take a great inter-
eS' in their school, 'twould be sad if
some should fail to come, for they all
boast Of their school proclivities
Out in this country We are having some
rain, just enough to keep the tender feet, .
from having their webs cracked.
Harry Winsor and Mark Shelton killed
can catch 'em whenever they want iem.
John Price has been doing the two cit
les Of destiny. Tacoma and SeattleO and
he says it is enough to quicken the pulsa
ton of the calmest heart, TO see so MANY
people that thrung the streets. He saws
that there is lois of money to he made in
investing in real estate in either place.
Our nelghbor, Capt. Winsor, was also
taking in the sights of Seattle, and we
think his health will be much improved
ere he returns.
We understand that Mr.. Curt Beers is
thinking of returning East in case he sells
his ranch. Which he offers very
cheap. We hope he will sell, but don't
like to lose such good neig Dor.
Lots OF ranches here for men that have
lots of muscle, a good will and little
money.-RoMAN.

A PRETTY MUDDLE.
The Tax Levy Of Los Angeles and
Orange Counties.

The Tax Levy Of Los Angeles and
Orange Counties.
Chaos seems come again in the matter
of getting Orange county separated from
hos Angeles. On Monday the Los An
geles Board of Supervisors duly pro-
ceeded to make tax levy to cover all
the property assessed by the Assessor of
Los Angeles county. That naturally in
cludes all the property in the new county
of Orange, which had no existence when
the assessment was made. The same
night the Board of Supervisors of Orange
county also made tax levy to cover all
the property in the new county of
Orange. The levy is $1.45 on the 500
of valuation on all property inside the
limits of corporate cities, with an ad-
dition of 20 cents to this rate ON all prop
erty outside such limits, this 20 cent rate
being for road purposes.
But on what valuation is this levy
made? There has been no assessment
made of the property in Orange county
as Orange county, and the law setting up
that county did not provide for the max
ing OF an assessment out of due time, nor
y0b ulu IL PkONl0C UAhv OltC dOrCcblhOhe Va
the property as made by the Assessor OF
Los Angeles county should become the
valuation for Orange county. Again,
there was no equalization Of the property
of Orange county made by the Board OF
Supervisors of that ,ounty, and the law
is explicit that no taxpayer lis under
any obligation to pay taxes unless
his assessment has been equalized by
the proper board. The property now
embraced in the county of Orange was
equelized, it is true; but it was as an in
tegral part of the county of Los Angeles
and was done by the Supervisors of Los
Angeles county.
! Here is confusion worse confounded
Which tax shall property owners pay
that levied by the Los Angeles Super
visors, or that OF the Orange count.

The South side Taxpayers
Association.
CHANGES OF STREET NAMES.
The Muddled Assessments of Los
Angeles and Orange Counties.
Other Interesting News.

The South Side Taxpayers Association
met last evening in its rooms on, the cor
ner Of Main and Laurel streets. w. p.
Mcintosh occupied the chair and Mr..
Thompson acted as Secretary.
The special committee appointed on
the. subject Of the changing OF the names
ofthe streets south Of Pico to numbers,
matte its report, recommending that Pico
be changed to Thirteenth, Carr to Four
teepth, and 80 on to Coral, which should
be called Fortieth. 1t was decided to
recommend to the Council that these
changes be made. 1t was moved and
carrisd that the comm ittee. which con-
sisted of L. Thomas, w. L. Wolfe and T.
HsWhite, should wait upon the Council
in the matter, and that Mr.. Mcintosh
accom- paDy them.
The regular Committee on Streets re-
ported that the extension of Los Angeles
street was progressing through the neces-
sary legal forms and that it would be
carried out beyond Jefferson street to
New Main in the matter Of the sewer
ing and paving Of Main street from
Ninth street to Washington, that the res
idents of this section are not ready for
the improvements as yet, and would be
likely to oppose any effort to carry 1t
out.
The question of a park for the South
Side was then treated to o considerable
amount of discussion. Some time ago
the association advertised for bids for
property to be used for park purposes.
Taeee were all found too high and were
rejected. Since then nothing has been
done. 1t was moved and carried that an
advertisement for more bids be inserted in
the daily papers. The opinion was ex-
pressed that if the matter could be prop
erly brought before the Council that
body would take some action.
The improvement of Elysian Park was
held up as an sbsurdity in the light of
the fact that nothing was being done to
provide small parks through other parts
Of the city.
The Main street Car company was
given lively raking for the alleged ir-
regularity and infrequency of it's car SER
vice, but no action was taken.
The meeting then adjourned.
