Commissioner s. w. Matthews,of the
bureau of labor statistics. is making
preparations to follow his usual Gus
tom of migrating from his present
quarters to the room near that of the

The fifth biennial valuation of the
wild lands of the State has been COM
pleted by the State assessors. AS is
we'll known timber lands have greatly
increased in value, during the past two
years and recognizing that fact the
assessors have acted accordingly.
The valuation has been fixed at $l9,-
127, 401. an increase of S2,SSS.597 from
1898. The sum of s79.4S2 has also been
added to the valuation of timber and
grass on reserved lands.
The chief increase has been placed
on desirable lands, we'll wooded and
located near water ways. Eight coun-
ties have been visited by the assessors
and a large number of wild land own
ers heard in order that the value placed
might be as near correct and fair as
possible.
