other holders of large property inter
ests of this city against the state board
of equalization and Multnomah county
in the elevated assessments of business
property.
General Idleman says re
hearing will be asked for.
The plaintiff was assessed on mer
chandise and stock in trade in Multno
nah county, and the valuation was
raised % per cent by the state board
and, having considered the same kind
of personal property under q different
classification in Marion county, it i:
held the board exceeded its powers
and the increase is void.
The suit was instituted to review the
action of the state board of equalizia.
| tion and to correct certain errors al.
legged to have been committed by it,
to the injury of the plaintiff, in equal.
izing the assessment throughout the
state for the year 1896.
Concerning the objection to the
classification made by the county as
SCISSOR, the opinion says:
"There are but two classes of real
property for assessment, under the
laws of the state" -
The boards method of equalizing
these two classes, the supreme court
holds, was valid; but, in the course
pursued in equalizing personal prop
erty. cause is found for reversing the
lower court.
The tabulated statement shows that
the Marion county roll classified per-
sonal property under three heads, viz,
railroad rolling stock" livestock"
and personal property. except rail-.
road rolling stock and livestock"
while other counties made II to 13
classifications of the same classes of
property, none corresponding with
Marion county's classification, except
one denominated RAILROAD rolling
stock" Upon these classifcations as
bases, the board attempted to equalize.
For instance, "horses and mules"
Seattle, swine, =" ''sheep and goats"
all coming under one classification in
the summary of the Marion county
roll, the valuation of none of the. four
could be reduced or raised without a.
fecting all. Thus, 20 per cent was de.
Quoted from the valuation of horses
and mules, 20 per cent added to cattle,
20 per cent deducted on sheep and
goats in Benton county, but this could |
not be done in Marion county. OF |
this method, the court, in its ruling,
says:
SIT is very evident the state board |
could not, by adopting dissimilar class
or such as are not uniform
throughout all counties, as b basis for
heir deduction, produce that uniform
ity and equality in values contemplated
oy the constitution"

We Need a Hospital.

As the science of medicine progresses
and becomes more perfectly under
stood, it becomes more evident that
success in the treatment of complicated
cases can be better attained in hospi-
tails, where trained nurses are employ
ed, than in private homes. Physicians
now when they have complicated cases
to attend and difficult surgical opera
tions to perform prefer their patients
be placed in hospitals, where they may
have the attention of nurses skilled in
their profession. But distance from

Three houses were blown down in the
town of Antelope, and the damage to
