Assessor Barnett Speaks.
THE DALLEs, Or, Nov. 10, Is

THE DALLEs, Or, Nov. 10, 1891.
Editor ofthe Chronicle:
In the daily issue of your most valua
BILE paper on the 7th appears the follow
ing: "The CHRONICLE. hesitates to offer
any criticism on this years assessment
as compared with that of 1890, but it
feels it to be its duty to call attention to
raised from an average price of $3.45 an
acre in 1890 to $3.50 in 1891. This in an
increase of over sixty-five per cent,
while there is not man in Wasco
county that does not know that the
price of land has decreased rather than
increased during the past year.
Now, were it not for the fact that
some of the above statements are not
true, and the others so yelled that the
facts are entirely hidden, / would not
feel it necessary to make any reply, and
would only say to the farmers that the
assessment rolls of 1890 and 1891 are on
file in the county clerks Office where
they can come and compare them at
any time and judge for themselves.
1t appears from the above statements
that by hesitating, you have begun too
soon, for if you had taken time to con-
suit some school boy, he conld have told
you that $3.50 is not sixty-five per cent.
above $3.45, but about fifty-three and
two-thirds per cent.
Now, while it may be that figures do
not lie, have discovered in trying to
balance my assessment roll that they
have to be handled carefully in order to
make them tell the truth.
In regard to the statement that the
value of land has been raised, 1 admit
that valued the land of the Eastern
Oregon Land company higher than last
year, but as presume they will not
kick nor anyone else worry. about it, it
cannot do any harm to drop their assess
ment and consider only the assessment
OF the settler. In 1890 there were I46,
500 acres of settlers land, assessed at,
$628, ,425, making $4.28 per acre assess
ment. In 1891 there are l21 ,574 acres,
assessed at $763, ,49S, or an assessment
per acre of 1928.
The unfair part, as 1 regret to say, is
in your failing to inform the reader that
you in your assessment, only took for
your assessment one-half your valuation
which, as this is the fact, makes your
valuation 1886 or double $4.2S.
And as was instructed by the county
court to take seventy five per cent? of
my valuation. it follows that my yalua-
ton must be $S.37 per acre, as 1928 is
three-fourths of that number. So if
$S.37 is sixty-five per cent. above 1886
then have surely outraged the farmer
this time.
But will stop by continuing and say
to the farmer that l may have assessed
him too high. If so, i am sorry for it.
To the stock-raiser; | probably have
you too high. 1 beg pardon for it. To
the merchant; 1 may have been too
hard on you. Please forgive me. To
the doctor, lawyer, blacksmith and
shoemaker; If / have valued you too
highly am sorry. have assessed my
self too high for this. l never expect to
get forgiveness. l am truly sorry
that / had to assess anyone. /
have done my duty as nearly as could.
For this / almost said I'm sorry.

Editor of the Chronicle:
notice in your issue of the 9th criti-
cism on me clipped from the Fossil
Journal, which I think calls for reply,
not in justification of myself, although
it does me great injustice, but for the
good of the regiment and to put the
blame where it belongs
The bills for wagon transportation and
extra rations of E. company, also H and
companies-to and from their armory
to the encampment, via the nearest rail-
road station is just and right and the
state should pay them. The facts are
these: The encampment ended on the
evening of July 4th and the state mill
tary board met on the 18th None of
these bills were received by me until the
morning OF the 18th and in one instance
several days later. They left by the
next mail for Salem but the board had
adjourned before they arrived. 1 noti-
fed the captains of these companies
that they would have to wait until the
October meeting when presented them
again and urged the necessity of having
them allowed ,as the money had been paid
by the men out of their own pockets, and
the delay was working a hardship upon
them. Adjutant General Shofner in
formed me that they had been allowed
by the board, since which time 1 have
not heard from the secretary of state or
received one cent, either for armory
rents for last quarter or in payment of
these bills, although have gone to Port
land and kept my business closed for two
days in order to see the adjutant general
and get this adjusted. No one is to
blame. So far as / can ascertain. the
military fund is inadequate and has al
ready been overdrawn, which is the
only construction 1 can put on the de-
lay. l., E and H companies are deserv-
ing of the highest praise of any COM
panies in the regiment for the manner
in which they did their duty at camp
no grumbling or kicking, although they
rode sixty miles through dust and dirt
to get to the railroad, paying their ex-
penses out of their own pockets. No
one regrets this unfortunate circum-
stance more than and no one could
have done more than / have done. The
report of Sergeant Bentley referred to is
false in every particular.
AS to my resignation, / shall be only
too glad to receive notice of its accept
ance and sincerely hope, for the good of
the regiment, that my successor may be
the ideal colonel the Fossil Journal has
pictured and may succeed IN rousing
Company E from its state of lethargy,
into which the editor of the Journal
claims it has fallen.
Respectfully,

the East End yesterday evening and
Charley Richmond believing him to be
crazy brought him to the city Jail where
he is now confined pending an examina-
tion this afternoon. Dahl says he owns
ranch on Cedar Greek near La Center,
Clark County, WASH, and that he has a
brother in the sheep business near An
telope, this county, named Jack Larsen
and there is no reason to doubt that his
story is true. That he is crazy there
can be no doubt. He told the writer a
rambling story of having talked to the
devil, all the way in from Sherar's
Bridge yesterday. He said Jesus Christ
told him to have nothing to do with the
devil and that in Buchler's brewery,
when the devil came up to the table
where God told him to get some bread
to eat with his beer, he just hit the
devil blow with the side of his fist on
the back of the neck. Persons in the
city from Antelope remember to have
seen Dahl out there engaged in the bus
mess of water witching. He seems a
quiet harmless man and is comfortably
and respectfully dressed.

which we publish elsewhere we have
only to say that no jugglery of figures

county assessment of 1890 will alter the
fact that the average valuation of land
in this years assessment is $3.50 an
acre. The assessment of 1890 is not un-
der trial, and the proof that it was all
wrong will never make this years as
sessment all right. The assessment on
its face shows that while the number oi
acres of land assessed has decreased A.
232 acres since last assessment the val
uation has increased $l3S, S,232 If this
