A FAMOUS GARDEN GOING.


Potato Vines Grew Breast High whore
Brick Block 10 Rising.
The site Of the now building In course Of
erection by Dexter Horton on the corner OF
Second and Cherry streets, was one OF the
finest gardens In Seattle. The four lots
which the building 10 to occupy were fenced
in by Mr.. Morton thirty years ago, and
planted with potatoes. So rich was the soil
that Mr.. Horton says the vines reached to
his chest. In passing through the garden
he turned the vines aside and found small
Baldwin apple tree growing among them,
brit entirely concealed by them. on which
was half grown apple. Mr.. Horton was
hauling the potatoes away when he met
Poet Maddocks, who Is known a. "Poet
Maddocks" because his conversation al.
ways drops into rhyme, and called his at
tention to the apple-tree, Mr.. Maddocks
replied:
'That's prolific
On the shores OF the Pacific"
Mr.. Horton accounts for the fruitfulness
OF the soil by the fact that an old swale ran
through the lot and down by the Pioneer
block to the bay near Yesler's wharf. The
soil is being carried away to = nursery IN
the city.
Mr.. Horizons "reminiscences stirred up
the memory of Rev. John F. Damon, who
had been listening to the conversation, and
he told how he was lost in the woods on
ground now occupied by the city's finest
buildings about the time when Mr.. Hot ton
planted his potato patch. He was on his
way from Yesler's wharf to attend q pot
latch given by the Puyaliup indians on be-
half of the mission where the university
ground now is. Walking with his head
down in deep thought, he wandered from
the trail, which was just wide enough for
one wagon, into . COW path and did not
discover his mistake until his tall hat came
in contact with thick bush. He turned
back the way he came and reached the
scene Of festivity without accident Mr..
Damon also recalled bringing the chsrters
for the st. Johns Lodge of Masons of Be-
attic and for the Port Madison lodge in q
boat from Olympia abort the same date.
He was then deputy grand master Of WASH
ington and had to institute these lodges.
He landed ct what was then Plummer's
point, about midway between the present
site of the coai bunkers and Yesler's wharf.
and had to walk TO dry land along board

This Il In excess Of the requirements Of

Tho rats could b. made svsn less" said
Mr.. Weir. If the state board could tx the
rate instead OF the legislature. II the legis-
Iaturo would determine the amount re-
quired for each two years. upon the
returns: Of the county assessor the state
board could DIX the rate which would yield
the sum needed.
Our chief embarrassment was not 10 In.
Grease the valuation but TO keep il down.
Every county assessor has his own system
and proportion; the smaller counties keep
the valuation low down in order not to
bear An undue proportion OF taxation; and
the rivalry between the larger counties
stimulates them to put as big figures as
can b comfortably sustained. In conse-
Quence our task was difficult. We realized
how dispr0portionate the percentage was
In different counties, but we could not
safely cut down the large counties because
their county and sometimes city taxation
Was based upon the totals given, and it
would b unwise to reduce them. On the
other hand, II we raised the amount ia
smaller counties they would be unneces-
sarily taxed on their own local rate and
and themselves with large surplus.
I'VE could easily have raised $40O, 600 had
W equalised the valuation up 70 the high

vised that 2K mills would be sufficient; but

Even ct the present rate Of valuation

Be better, In my opinion. TO keep the rate at
