Commissioners Say Canal
Companies Must Pay
WATER SYSTEMS NOT LISTED
Touchet and Snake Concerns
Make no Returns. Merchants
and Owners Notified.

The county board of equalization, In
delving into this years assessments.
has discovered that irrigable land Is
the western part Of the county easily
worth $25 an acre, is only assessed at
$2.75 and $500 and fine alfalfa land.
held at 500 an acre, is only assessed
at $40 an acre.
The board likewise discovered this
morning that the Walla Walla Irriga-
ton company, the Columbia Canal
company. the Touchet Land and Water
company and the Snake River Irriga-
ton company have failed to list their
canal systems with the assessors and
in several instances have placed the
valuations of their land under the
ditch at ridiculously low figures.
Either these irrigation companies
must return a fair valuation on their
land or else pay taxes on their canal
systems" declared Commissioner Nc
Cav this morning, while going over
the assessments returned against the
four corporations. Commissioner
Struthers echoed his colleagues senti-
ments.
Investigate the Values.
The commissioners spent some time
this morning going over the assess
ments of the four irrigation companies
and at the end decided none of them
was paying into the county's strong
box anywhere near what they should.
The only question bothering the board
was the best way to make an equit-
of the corporations.
Commissioner McCaw thought the
canal and lateral systems should be-
taxed on a so per cent basis Of the
original cost if the companies declined
to put in their land holdings at fair
valuation.
It is estimated that the WaTla Wal
la Irrigation company has spent close
to 100000 in building it's system Of
canals, intakes and laterals In re-
claiming several thousand acres Of
land at Gardena. The Columbia Canal
company's system cost over $4,000 and
only the stockholders of the Snake
River Irrigation company know what
the company has spent in trying to
develop the Two Rivers project. The
board virtually decided this afternoon
to make a radical change in the as
sessment of the four irrigation COM
panies.
Notify the Owners.
Under instructions from the board,
Clerk McGhee sent out formal notices
to a number of merchants and property
owners this afternoon. notifying them
that their assessments are to be
raised. Others will be mailed out as
the board decides.
Chairman Morrow, owing to the ILL
ness of his son, Platt, was compelled
to return to Waitsburg this morning to
look after business affairs.

be referred right back to Chief

city. Why should he throw the re-
Sponsibility on this council? AS the ex-
ecutive officer of this city it is his
duty to arrest these men if they have
violated the law as he claims.

Farmers College at Pullman.

1t is reported that the winter school
for farmers at Pullman is being quite
largely attended, The session lasts
two months. The first two weeks
were given to crop production. The
study Of horticultural subjects occu-
pies the 3rd and 4th weeks and the
fruit inspectors Of the state will meet
during this time. Following the hor-
ticultural session comes the two
weeks devtion to live stock subjects,
The students during this section OF
the work will study practical stock
problems and live stock judging,
using both college stock and also that
Of several we'll known fanciers. Com
mon diseases to stock will be ex-
planned and operations performed by
college veterinarians.
The school is said to be big sue
cess and fine winter drawing card
for Pullman whose energetic business
population first learned the lesson
that advertising in all its branches
pays big dividends on the investment
and then passed on to the End reader
and read the words "In Unity There Is
Strength" No people ever prospered
and no towns ever grew without the
practical use OF these two elements
When people advertise the world will
see them. When people pull together
there will be something doing. When
people do not advertise they will be
passed by unknown and unnoticed
When people divide and pull agains,
each other the one will pull down the
other or the rope will break and both
will fall. Pullman deserves praise fol
the way she is doing things but as
to farming the News is OF the opinion
that after all the students have went
through college they will have tc
come to good old Adams county tc
finish their education and get some
practical lessons on how to make
farming pay. Here nature has SC
favored the tillers OF the soil that
prosperity crowns every intelligen,
effort. Gladness and joy beams il
every farm home, Contentment,
peace and plenty reign supreme
Farm life in Adams county is but one
