IS NO EXEMPTION
PERSONAL PROPERTY MUST BE
ASSESSED THIS YEAR.
Special Session of Legislature Failed
to Attach Emergency Clause
to Repeal.

No property is exempt from taxation
this year, and all property Of every de-
scription will be assessed. There is no
exemption whatever Assessor Charles
E. Mcdonnell and County Judge Web
ster arrived at this conclusion yesterday
morning after brief discussion OF the
matter, and the assessor will go ahead
and assess everything.
AT the regular session Of the legisla-
ture in 1908 the clause in the statute
exempting personal property to the
amount of $500 from assessment and
taxation was repealed. When the legis-
lature met in special session in Decem-
ber, 1908, it was decided that mistake
had .been made in repeating the eSemp-
ton clause so it was reenacted. The
bill, however, did not carry an emerg-
ency clause, and therefore did not take
effect until March 81. The assessment
is made as of March l, and consequently
the exemption clause does not apply
this year, for the reason that the statute
repealing it was in force on March /.
This year, therefore, no property will be
exempt. Portland Oregonian.
If other county courts, says the Tri-
bune, should follow the decision Of the
Multnomah county as above noted there
will be universal howl go up all over
Umatilla county this year when the tax
statements are made out. People ex-
pect the usual $500 exemption and the
taxes are already high enough to take
the wind out OF cyclone cellar. But
perhaps il there is to be no personal
property exemption theincreased amount
of property would be sufficient to war
rant reduction in the rate.
| 1t is clearly evident that the legisla-
ture intended to exempt the $500 per-
sonel property and the county court will
probably be prevailed upon to take no
notice of the fact that the law did not
take effect until March 81. AS yet this
question has not been raised in Una
tilla county.

LOCATE POLE LINE
ENGINEER BADGER AND FORCE
OF MEN IN ATHENA.
The Work of Constructing the Big
Electric Power Plant Has
Commenced in Earnest.

Engineer Badger and force of men
in the employ of the Oregon and Wash
ington Power Co. were in Athena
Wednesday night. The men are en-
gagged in locating the pole line on which
will be hung the electric wires to be
strung from the power house on the
south fork of the Nalla Walla river
through the towns of Milton, Weston,
Athena and Adams to Pendleton. The
distance is being surveyed in order to
secure an accurate estimate of the num-
ber of poles. required.
The construction force is being in
creased as fast as development of work
will permit, there being at present two
gangs Of men employed. One is exca-
waiting and grading along the six-mile
f1ume line and the other is employed at
the reservoir site where concrete dam
is being constructed.
A county road is to be constructed at
once up the river. Approximately the
cost of this road will be $4,000, which is
to be borne jointly by the county and
the company. The new road will moi
only facilitate the transportation OF
heavy loads of company building ma
terial, machinery, ETC., but will be Of
permanent benefit to river farmers and
gardeners.

sawdust in the furnace of the Day Lum-

before midnight, which destroyed that
mill and also those of the Multnomah

loss will probably exceed $3.50, 900. The
mills are located in cluster on the

of the city. The nightwatchman was
the only person about tLe mill at the
time, and was SO scorched by flames at

Letter From Mrs. Logan.


We make the following extracts from
a letter received from Mrs. Gen.
Logan, after her return from Kansas,
which speaks so kindly Of our state and
of Canton that we feel justified In
publishing them.
II found 80 much correspondence
awaiting me at the Chicago Beach
Hotel after our return from Canton
that it took all the rest of the day to
dispose of that and we were obliged tc
20 to Oak Park on the next day as they
had arranged q Sunday afternoon
reception for US. It was 9 beautiful
affair and we enjoyed it very much,
but we were thinking ell the while Of
the good times that we had in South
Dakota, and wishing for . moment ir
which to tell you 80.
On Monday afternoon I had to take
the train from the platform to reach
Winfield in time The moment that
we got into Kansas we found awful
floods, and really feel that we have
risked our lives on this journey and
are now crawling over track with
from ton inches to two feet of water on
1t, or otherwise we would not be able
to write now. 5
We cannot command words that
fittingly express our gratitude for the
pleasure that you and your friends
gave us. We shall long remember our
trip to South Dakota and especially our
visit to Canton. Please present our
regards to all the friends that we had
the pleasure of meeting there"
