AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.

Although the average per acre for wheat
is 2S bushels; barley, 80 and oats 49, in some
portions of the county it ran much higher.
In Clover Valley which is situated in the
middle portion of the county the average
for wheat was So, barley so and oats 65
bushels. In the northern and southern por.
lions the average was much less, notwith-
standing the fact that 95 bushels of oats per
acre were averaged on five acre patch in

The repeal of the Sherman bill and the
low price of silver and lead has had its effect
on Lincoln County as we'll as the rest of
the continent and property valuations of all
kind and nature deteriorated in value
knowing that general reduction would be
asked by all the taxpayers, far in excess of
the amount necessary to run the County
government, l made horizontal reduction
of ten per cent. with everyone from the
amount as assessed against them in the year
1898, and by so doing was able to keep my
assessment roll up to higher valuation than
| could otherwise have done. The reduc-
ton OF ten per cent is less than the average
loss on all classes of property, as property
will not sell for from fifteen per cent. to
thirty-ive per cent. of what it did a year
ago, depending on the character and kind.
The market price of stock cattle is thirty
per cent less than that of last year and that
OF range horses fifty per cent. and no sale at
that loss even. The reduction of ten per
cent. met with general approval and the
assessment for the year is $573, 706.lO This
amount shows on the assessment roll an
increase mot including the mortgages) of
$35, 1921 10 over last year. This increase
was caused by few double assessments on
property which was held in trust for the
County by the Treasurer and claimed by
Others, the main item being that Of $780,
600 against the Oregon Short Line & Utah
Northern Railway Company This double
assessment was made for the reason that
judgment was taken against the railroad for
the amount of taxes and costs and as the
time did not expire for its redemption until
the first of November, 1894, it was held in
trust by the County Treasurer for the
County. Should the railroad pay the taxes
and no assessment be made against the
Oregon Short Line & Utah Northern Rail-
way for 1894 they would escape taxation
for this year, and to avoid this made the
double assessment. The true value of the
assessment roll compared with that of last
year shows reduction of $54, 976.26.
