rouALrzING PROPERTY VALUATION

The condition now confronting the State
Board of Equalization is not new one,
although it has taken new form. The
county assessors throughout the state
have varied very considerably in their
view of the standard to be used in valua-
ton. Some are very high, and, like Pierce
county, have themselves made a very
sweeping reduction. while others stand in
favor of a material increase.
Every county has its own grievance, and
King county is likely to have very seri-
Gus one, if not more than one. Suppose
that King county has made fair and per-
haps even liberal valuation, aud that some
ofthe other counties, VIGOROUSLY rated too
low in the past, having now been adj
vanced under the new law to an
equality with King, secure
material reduction. The result will be
that King will have to bear an undue pro-
portion of the state taxes. Hitherto when
the state board has made an increase or
reduction the counties have paid taxes
accordingly, but ignored the difference of
rating for county property on account of
the enormous labor involved. But if a
large percentage is added or stricken OF,
a new set of calculations will be necessary.
If, for instance, an order be made redue-
ing King county's valuation Is per cent,
every item of her thousands of tax-pay-
ers' properties will have to be calculated
again, entailing not only great expense
but delay.
Fortunately the Seattle charter provided
for separate assessment, which stands
now complete and unalterable. OF course.

There Is still great confusion as to the
tax levy. Even one of the aldermen who
participated in the debates and voted on
the measure admitted that he still thought
the tax levy was for next years expenses.
The sole reason for the low tax levy was be.
cause it was found impossible under char
ter provisions to levy tax except for the
current year. Next year it will be neces-
sary to levy for 1892 and part of 1898, in
1898 it will be necessary to levy for the re-
mainder of 1898 and the whole of 1884,
Thereafter the levy viii always be made in
September for the ensuing year so that the
city will be run on cash basis. The rea-
SON for not making the levy sufficient for
that purpose next year is. of course, be-
cause the load would be too heavy for one

II was brilliant autumn time,
The most brilliant time of all,
When the gorgeous woods are cleaning.
Ere the leaves begin TO fall;
When the maple boughs are crimson.
When the hickory shines ike gold.
And the moons are sultry hot,
And the nights are frosty cold.
When the country has no green,
Save the sword-grass by the rill,
And the willows in the valley,
And the pine upon the hill:
When the pippin leaves the bough,
And the sumach's fruit is red,
And the quail is piping loud
From the buekwheat where he fed.
When the sky Is blue as steel,
Aud the river clear as glass,
When the mist Ia on the mountain,
And the network on the grass,
When the harvests are all housed,
And the farmers work is done,
And the stubbles are deserted
For the fox-hound and the gun.

A CLALLAM COUNTY TRAMP.
From the Straits to the Ocean - Thu
OuilIaYute Country.

BEAVER, WASH, Sept. 26. Especial - We
started Friday morning from Beaver prairie on
our trip to the mouth of tina Quillayute, on the
Pacific ocean. We travelled about an hour
through the woods when we came out upon a
small but handsome prairie containing between
800 and 400 acres, known as Lake prairie. 1t Is
situated at the outlet of Pleasant lake, and
about twenty-five miles by the trail from Clal-
lam bay, and eighteen from the Quillayute post.
Office. We called upon one of the settlers but
found him absent from home, he being up the
Sound after supplies. Owing to the reports of
high water we had abandoned our horses and
started on foot After rough walk we reached
Little Shuwau prairie and stopped for dinner.
Little and Big Shuwau prairies contain about
400 acres of good farming land in q high state of
cultivation. We wendell our way down the
Solduck- The entire distance we travelled that
afternoon We were within hearing of cow bells
and often came out into fine clearings. Finding
the Solduck was not fordable, we employed q
settler to take US over in a canoe at the remun-
Grafton of 10 cents per head, and we thought be-
fore he got us over he would prove q veritable
Charon, as the current was swift After pleas
ant walk of about two hours through . mag.
nificent level forest we reached Forks prairie,
which is gem in the forest. There are seven
teen families residing on Forks prairie, and the
only thing that seems to trouble them is how to
dispose of their surplus. All have large, COM
modious barns full to the ridge poles. We
measured one hay NOW, it being about an aver
age. It contained eightv-two tons. The set
tiers have all the modern Improvements in the
way of moving machines, hsrvesters, self-bind-
ers, etc. We visited several fine hop fields, and
in one fold, on the farm of Mr.. Ford, we counted
ssyents-two Indians, besides several white peo-
pie engaged in picking hops.
This prairie 10 worthy OF description. 1t con.
tains more than 5000 acres of land, and stretch
ing along to the north and east is magnificent
forest, perfectly level, bearing splendid timber,
and the richest bottom land. Forks prairie is
watered by the Solduck, Boccahiel and another
river with an Indian name. Here we saw the
highest bred cattle and the finest specimens of
Durhams that we have seen in the state of
Washington. All kinds of fruits grow abund-
antly, and here, as elsewhere, we found the abb
sorbing topic of conversation among the people
the plank road to Clallam bay. Many of the
settlers have lived here fifteen years. and their
only means of communication with the outside
world Is mail carried on horseback over the
trail from the straits once a week. but now they
are getting more cosmopolitan. having q semi
weekly mail Supplies are landed on the beach
at La Push and brought up the Quillayute and
Boceahiel rivers in Indian canoes From there
we proceeded to Quillayute prairie.

If the state board orders reduction the
anamolous condition viii be presented OF
two entirely different valuations at the
oretically the same moment.
1t is an advantage, because the city has
been enabled to make q tax levy which
cannot be changed. It is placed at ~
mills and is calculated to produce, on $A.-
ooO, 900, SIS, 900; if the state board could
affect the city's valuation as it does the
county's and reduce the total to, say $S2,-
600, 900, which is not more disproportionate
than the Pierce county reduction, the city
might be thrown into very awkward po-
sition, which could not be remedied until
the next tax levy. The county must wait
until the roll has been equalized by the
state board before it can make the tax
levy.
