the western part OF Wasco county, fin.
ished assessing Cascade Locks, Wyeth,
Viento and as far up as Con Repp's
place, and returned home Friday. II
was his intention to visit Mount Hood
settlement next, but the discovery made
in Multnomah county, that the new tax
law enacted by the last legislature re-
pealed the $500 exemption clause of the
old law, may change his plans. Satur.
day he received orders from County AS
SCISSOR Woodcock, ordering him not to
allow the $500 exemption in any further
assessments. Mr.. Morse expects to
have to go again over the territory he
has assessed and interview those who
have no real estate and not enough prop
erty OF any kind to cover the $500 ex-
emption. Under the law as it now
stands the poorest Of us are liable to get
our names on the tax list.
