HIGH COUNTY ASSESSMENTS.
Work Of Equalization by State Board
Next Week-Mapy Objections Expected.


Oily MPIA, sept 2t-TspeciaI. l-Indications are
that nearly every county in the state will have
representative at the meeting OF the state board
OF equalization in this city, beginning on Mon
day next state Auditor Reed has received in
formation stating that widespread dissaiisfac-
ton exists respecting high assessments
Some OF the boards of county
commissioners, however, are evidently
fearful that the assessments of their
counties may be raised. as they have
by resolution served notice on the state board
that they will not stand any increase of their
respective valuations. The general tax agent of
the Northern Pacific company has come to this
state from St. Paul, and viii make staIwart
kick against the valuations placed upon the
company's property by the various counties.
The state board is not likely to sympathize with
the effort to obtain q sweeping reduction in val
nations. 1t is apt to confine its work To the adj
tustment OF inequalities, 80 that no
advantage may be given TO any one county.
The legality Of the action of the Pierce
county commissioners in making horizontal re-
duction OF ID per cent on the returns made
by the county assessor, will receive the atten-
ton OF the state board. 1t is commended that a
county board has power only TO make changes
in assessments of particular individuals, SO that
such assessments may not be unequal when
compared with other assessments OF similar
property. The power to make percentage re-
duetion of the entire assessment OF county is
exclusively vested in the state board OF equali-
zatiou.

PoRT TOWNSEND, Sept 24-tSpecial. I'm
spector J. C. Baird. of WooIey fame, said ycster-

Equalization Of County Assessments
by the State Board.

eeived the following telegram from Deputy
Sheriff Hicks:
DRAIN, Sept 81 =
Albsrtson win be able TO come out in two
weeks. Lett Daggett there. viii be home to-
morrow D. M
This is the first authentic news Sheriff Price
has received from MS deputies, Hicks and Dag
gett, whom he sent to Gardiner with
requisitIon papers for Edward Albertson,
the robber OF the Fidelity Trust Com
pany bank, of this city. A reply was
looked for three days ago, and the delay in re-
ceiFng il is sufficient in Itself to ciinch the be-
lief that the country through which the officers
travelled is very rough, as they were instructed
10 get definite information as 70 Albcrtson's con-
dition and report Immediately.
Deputy Hicks telegram is welcome news to
many TGeomans who are confident that the
simple truth from him viii completely
exonerate X. Z. Albertson, of seattle,
from any completely whatever In the
robbery of the bank. 1t was reported today
upon what was considered very good authority,
that Albertsou would die, that the 4Icaliber
bullet entered the left side four inches to the
lett Of the navel, making a hole a. large as a 25-
cent silver coin, and came out two inches
higher, and that the physician who attended
him said he would not live ten days at the most.
Also that the shooting was unnecessary. This
latter statement is corroboTated BY Chandler,
Alberison's aceomplice.
Sheriff Price says he has no doubt but that
Albertson will recover, because he charged has
chief deputy, ]. u. Hicks, with making a
searching inquiry into AIbertson's true con-
dition and not arrange 10 remove him unless
his condition fully warranted it, Hicks
was also instructed to allow Albertson all the
time deemed reasonably necessary to recover
sufficiently to undertake the journey. From
the fact that Hicks wires that Albertson will
be in condition to be removed in two weeks
Price concludes that he is not at all liable to
suceumb to the wound
