SIXTY PER CENT As BASIS
STATE TAX COMMISSION WILL
RECOMMEND THAT TO THE
COUNTY ASSESSORS.

The convention of county assessors
of Washington will be held in Olympia
on January &c. At the meeting it will
be urged by the state tax commission
to adopt a resolution providing that
in each county the same percentage of
the true valuation shall be followed in
the assessment of all classes Of prop
erty
The state tax commission will, it is
understood, express a preference for so
per cent, having for the time being,
abandoned the campaign for full val
uation started during the appearance
of the assessors before the state board
of equalization last September.
The term property is intended to in
clude moneys on deposit, and every
other class of personal property nav
ing a fixed and definite value. Under
the uniform so per cent assessment
plan the man who had on deposit $1,000
would have it assessed as though it
were only $500. and the value on
$1,000 tract of real estate would be put
in at $500 likewise.

MANY WILL ATTEND THE GRAIN
CONVENTION At PULLMAN
THIS MONTH.
Grain Commissioner Reed Says He
Has Not Given up His Fight
Against Combine.

Wheat growers Of Washington are
evincing the liveliest interest in the
session of the grain convention called
at Pullman on January IL and H.
The tests of the grain to be made
and reported to this convention are
now in Washington and have
occasioned wide interest. Chemical
tests are now being made of the dry
grain and every property it has will
be fully demonstrated. Not only is
this being done with the grain, but
wheat from many different sections
of the state is being ground and the
flour thoroughly tested. The re-
ports on the various grades will be
Of inestimable benefit to the scientific
grower.
Reed Pursuing Campaign.
State Grain Commissioner w. H.
Reed said at Tacoma yesterday that
the impression in certain quarters that
he was relinquishing his fight on the
Northwest grain buyers combine is
entirely erroneous.
Because I am not saying much
just now does not signify that the
fight is not going on" said Mr.. Reed.
"All evidence is being sent to United
States District Attorney Frye at Sc
attic and the next big news will come
out of his office shortly"
That the wheat growers are alive
to the work being done in their be-
half by Mr.. Reed is shown in a tri-
butte to him in the Christmas issue
of the Spokane Orator. 1t says:
1.-THE Orator called the attention of
it's readers recently to the unselfish
fight that is being made by w. H.
Reed of Tacoma, member of the
state grain commission, against the
northwestern grain buyers combine,
Mr.. Reed is working hard for the con-
viction of the men in this combine
and has the facts in the hands of
the United States district attorney.
He made a fight a number of years
ago for the classification Of bluestem
wheat and won. This better classif1-
cation has brought millions of dollars
to the pockets of the Inland empire
farmers and it is the duty of every
public spirited citizen to stand with
Mr.. Reed in this fight for the farm
ers of Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon. It will bring millions of dollars
to the inland empire and will do as
much as any one other thing TO pro-
mote it's permanent prosperity"

FIRE CHIEF METZ RENDERS RE.
PORT FOR THE PAST
YEAR
Two Months Show No Loss From
Fire Fund-N Alarms Were An.
swered by Department.

Walla Walla's total loss from fires
during the year 1905 was but
$79,04661, according to figures COM
piled by Fire Chief Metz this morning.
Considering the handicaps under
which the fire department labored in
the matter Of equipment and lack of
water in many instances, this record
is considered fine. Had it not been
for the big fire in June that destroyed
the John Smith implement house and
other property in the vicinity of First
and Main, Walla Walla's total loss
from fires would nave been less than
$4,000. This one fire destroyed prop
erty valued at s6O,S9316, according to
Fire Chief Metz report.
In April and December there were
no fires resulting in damage to prop
erty and in February the loss was but
SO. August was another light month
although the department answered 10
calls. The damage sustained that
month was but 1912. Fire Chief Metz
report is as follows:
Number of Alarms and Fire Losses.
January, 11-$135; February, g
SO; March, 5-$1,O46.30; April, mo

1t is now quite possible to have the
exterior Of house built Of stone at a
price not much greater than the cost
Of clapboards or shingles. This condi-
ton Of things has come about through
the development Of the cement indus
try in this country. Given reasonable
access to a transportation line and q
sand hank, and the possibility of a
stone house is yours. One part of ce-
ment, two or three parts Of sand and
four to seven parts Of gravel or broken
stone mixed together with enough wa
ter to make paste will produce a
stone that is next to granite in hard
ness and strength, not affected by fire,
as are marbles and limestones, and
much less susceptible to injury by
frost than sandstone.-Country Life In
