Your article further states that would pay

thing OF the kind. 1 merely stated that If the

that should investigate the matter. | do not

THE PROPERTY VALUATION.
King County VIII Roll Up . Total OF
&75. 900 900.

Assessor Frank Paul is well along with the
work of writing up the assessment rolls. Three
city rolls-two real estate rolls and one personal
property roll-are now finished. The three rolls
represent total value of property of 600;
OF which sum s6,746 600 is the total value of per-
sonai property thus shown in the city. There
10 yet one more real estate roll to write up, and
the assessor thinks that the result will show the
total value OF property in the city to be s45,-
100000
"Befors the assessment was made estimated
that the rolls would show property value in
the city of $50 600. 000," said Mr.. Paul, "but the
new system of assessment has made exempt q
great deal of property that under the old law
we assessed last year, and my calculations were
not realized. Under the new law $500 worth OF
the assessabe personal property Of each person is
deducted. Then mortgages are not assessable
this year. I estimated the result OF the real
estate correctly, but fell short on the personal
property. We will complete the writing up Of
the city rolls this week"
The personal property roll and six real estate
rolls Of property in the county have been writ
ten up. There are yet nine more real estate
rolls to labor through. All the county rolls will
be completed in q week or SO. The rolls already
written up show a value of property in the
county of s45,o0o,00O. II Is estimated that the
total value OF property In King county, as shown
by the completed assessment, will be 100000

PUTTING OUT FIRES.
Work Of the Departments and . volun-
teer Company.

Work Of the Department. and . volun-
teer Company.
Two fires, one following the other within Q
few moments, occurred in the Lake Union dis
trict yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock. The
FIRE was In an unused and uninsured barn on
Brook street, owned by William McKeever. The
barn was used by the boys In the eigbborhood
ss play house, and once more the small boy
and matches did their work. The flames were
noticed at 2:45 O'Clock in the afternoon, and the
Ere alarm was sent in from box 81, Lake Union.
As soon as the alarm was sounded the Are de-
partment of the Western Mill Company stretched
their hose far a. it would reach, but could not
get stream of water on the FIRE. Within Eve
minutes from the time OF the first sound
the apparatus from house No. 4 was on the
scene and coupled onto the Western Mill Com
pany's hose Engine No. and hook and ladder
No. were sufficient to destroy all vestiges of
the nre. Fortunately for those residing in close
proximity to the burning barn. the wind was
blowing from the northeast and away from the
neighboring houses. No other damage oe-
Cured beyond the scorching of some fruit trees
belonging to A. +. Rowell.
Most of the apparatus was on its way home
when the whistle of the Western mill began 10
blow In most unusual manner. Although 1t
was not . regular fve-whistle call, the boys
went back to nnd small fire burning in the
packing of the arbor Of the saw. The fire was
extinguished before any damage was done.
The Western Mill Company has fire depart
ment of their own, and these companies have
rendered assistance In the neighborhood on sew
eral occasions. Two organized companies, two
hose carts, together with $50 feet OF hose afford
fire protection both for the mill and the immed-
late vicinity. The mill is wired throughout
with what Ia known AZ the temperature alarm
system, which affords protection to every avail
able spot throughout the mill. The wires are
laid In such way that when the heat in any
portion of the building rises above a certain
point, plug composed of certain amalgamated
metals Is melted. This forms an electric con-
nection which sets the whistle of the mill to
blowing. Steam is kept up day and night, so
that there can not be moment when the whistle
would fail to respond to the call for fire.
