An amusing incident occurred yester-
day In connection with the session of
the county board Of equalization. A
man who owns two timber claims APP
peared before the board to protest
against his assessment. He related to
the members Of the board that there
was not stick of timber on the claims,
and that the cruiser who reported upon
his land to Assessor Cornelius had
never been on the place. Now, the
cruiser in question happened to be Mr.
Prescott, to whom. during the after
noon, the man sold his claims for
$1,000 each! And Mr.. Prescott con-
slders that he made an excellent pur-
chase. The incident was interesting, as
well as amusing. as 1t demonstrates
that some Of the men who protest
against assessments occasionally have
very deep interest in their own af-
fairs.
