The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1906-01-20

Olympia, Jan. 18.-For the first
time in the history of the state, a
comprehensive system for. the. assess
ment of timber lands uniformly in the
counties of the state has been pre-
pared. This was the result of con-
ference held by special committee of
the assessors convention and repre-
sentatives of the large timber interests.
Under the scheme timber lands are
divided into three general classes,
available, not available and inaccessi-
BILE, each of which is subdivided into
four classes, based upon stumpage. In
addition there is a special class to
cover sections where the timber is of
old growth, good quality and availa-
bic and running more than 10, 600, 600
feet to the quarter section.
Burned over timber lands are CLASH
SIZED as being half stumpage value if
available, quarter stumpage value if
unavailable or inaccessible and as
valueless unless the timber is removed
within five years after the fire.
The lumber representatives present
approved of the classifications and di-
visions and agreed to report their
holdings in accordance with the class
iications, but would not agree to re-
port cruisers estimates.
During the day reports of commit
tees we're submitted and approved as
follows:
By bank committee: That on the
assessment of banks the market value
of the stock of banks be taken as the
basis of assessments.
Live stock committee: That stock
be assessed at so per cent individal
Value, not in classes as formerly.

Olympia, Jan. ESTABLISHMENTS of
railroad tracks this year will be in
creased in the neighborhood of $12.-
600. 900, according to the unanimous
vote of the state convention of asses
sors. After secret session lasting
several hours, to which railroad tax
agents who came here on invitation
we're denied admission, the committee
reported advances for assessments of
all classes of railroad tracks, which.
roughly estimated, increase the rail
road assessments on tracks alone to
10000, 900, as against $18, 900. 900
last year.
Mr.. Snapp, of the Great Northern
tax department; Mr.. Morrow, of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany, and Jay Sedgwick spoke briefly,
saving that they had come here in re-
Spouse to invitations, that they had
waited since Monday in vain for a
hearing, and that the action proposed
came as an unwelcome surprise. Each
made sarcastic reference to the cour-
tesy of those who had invited them.
Tax commissioner Rockwell stated
that the commission Endorsed the new
schedule, which, he claims, is on so
per cent basis.
Snapp and Morrow said action by
the railroads would be determined up
on how faithfully the assessors carry
out their pledge to assess all property
on that basis. Without further dis
cussion, the report of the committee
was adopted by the convention, which
includes practically all the assessors
of the state.

ssUnder the authority of an act of

ssThe Milwaukee wants to make use
of parts of our right Of way and has
practically offered to construct first

all heavy work, but from my personal
knowledge, Of the country and insec-
ton of recent surveys l measure the
