MANY ACCEPT
OPPORTUNITY
BANCROFT LAW A BOON TO
SOME PROPERTY OWNERS.
City Attorney McCourt, Who is Pre-
pairing the Blanks Needed in its
Operation Believes Sixty to Seventy
Per Cent of Abutting Realty Owners
VIII Accept Chance to Make Time
Payments OH Paving.

John McCourt, city attorney, has
prepared an application for use by
those who desire to pay the street paw
ing assessment on the 10-year install
ment plan. He is now having the
form printed, and within q few days
those desiring to secure the extended
time for payments, may secure the
blanks from him.
In the applications which property
owners make in order to secure the
10 years time, they agree to waive all
Irregularities or defects, jurisdictional
or otherwise, in regard to the assess
ment and paving work.
From indications many property
owners are going to take advantage Of
the time offered, Mr.. McCourt believ-
ing that 60 or 20 per cent of the own
ers will do so, Judging from the num-
ber of inquiries he has received in re-
gard to the matter.
After the applications are all in and
1t is known how large a bond issue Is
necessary, the council will pass an or
der authorizing the issue of the same.
1t is presumed that the bonds will bear
6 per cent interest, as they will be for
but 10 years and redeemable after
one year.

FORTY ACRES WHEAT BURNED.
Destructive Fire In Fred Stine Field

Walla Walla, July 27.-Forty-on
acres of wheat were destroyed yester-
day about o'clock at the Fred Stine
place, a short distance from the city.
threshing outfit in an adjoining
field had left small fire from an en-
gine. and this was famed by light
breeze until the stubble was caught
and the flames soon spread to the
wheat owned by Mr.. Stne. The blaze
ran through a 200-acre field of fine
grain and completely destroyed Al
acres of grain which 1t Is estimated
would have made As bushels per acre.
That several hundred acres were not
destroyed by the flames was due to
the neighboring farmers and their
crews of harvest hands. In short
time after the blaze had been discov-
cred 20 men were working like Tro-
jams to control Il.

In the office of Assessor Strain to-
day the principal topic of interest has
been the supreme court decision
whereby it is decreed that no personal
property, even if less than $500 in
value, shall be exempt from taxation.
As the decision promises to work a
revolution III the work of the assessors
the subject has naturally been given
considerable attention by Mr.. Strain.
Owing to the fact that the deputies
have finished their field work long ago
and the tax roll is now nearly COM
pleted, Mr.. Strain says he will not
send his men out again this year to
list the personal property that was not
taken when the regular assessment
was made. To take such property
this year would be a most difficult job
for the deputies and but little would
be realized by the county.
However, Mr.. Strain says that all
who turn in their valuations to him
will be taxed and all cases reported by
others will be taken up. Then when
the board of equalization meets in
August the matter will be passed up
to them. for the board has authority
to levy assessments that have been
overlooked.
According to Assessor Strain there
is approximately $1,000, 900 of exempt
personal property in this county, maxi
ing an assessed valuation of about
100000. Last year the amount of
exempt property on the tax roll was
S1S4,0O0, and it will be about the
same this year. This property being
already listed will be taxed now that
the supreme court has decided against
exemptions. Consequently the county
will be the gamer through the decision
to the extent of the tax on s1s4, 900.
Constitution Should Be Changed
In the opinion of Assessor Strain
the state constitution should be chang
ed so as to permit of exemption Of
some personal property. This view he
takes largely because he regards the
taxes of less than $500 worth of per-
sonal property as not worth while from
revenue-raising standpoint. He says
such a course would increase the la
Dor and expense of making the assess
ment about SS per cent, and but little
of the tax would be collected. At pres
ent there is no provision for collecting
personal taxes, and as a result many
do not pay the same. Should no ex-
emptions be made and every body be
taxed for their personal property the
amount of the tax would not justify
levying upon the property.
But as no change can be made in
the constitution for at least two years,
1t will be up to the assessors to levy on
all personal property during that time.
Next spring all property will be listed
by Assessor Strain, though his course
for this year will be as stated above.

ASSESS OFFICE FIXTURES.
Professional Mems Equipment No
Longer Exempt.

Portland, July 27.-As a result of
the supreme court decision all profess
sional men in the city will in the fu-
ture pay taxes.
Heretofore under the old law they
have been exempt from paying a per-
sonal property tax on their instru-
ments, Libraries and office fixtures,
but according to the recent decision of
the supreme court II was declared
that no property, such as is used for
municipal, educational, literary, sci
entific, religious or charitable pur-
poses, is exempt.
County Assessor b. d. Sigler said
this morning that professional men
would now have to contribute for the
support of the government. Hereto
fore they have escaped taxation on
their personal property because they
declared that their instruments, IL
braries and office fixtures were a
means whereby they derived a living
and could not be taxed.
Physicians, surgeons, dentists, law
yers, surveyors, architects and every
other professional class, are affected
No one will escape as the county as
SCISSOR said that he would not make
fish of one and fowl of another.
The personal effects in the offices
of these men are valued at from 800
to $1,000 each. and this will have a
tendency to greatly increase the as
sessed valuation of personal property
in Portland. 1t will also increase the
revenues, as each of them will have to
pay on an average of 81 or IS taxes
each year.

SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTAL.
John Prel Shot Himself on Blue Noun

Walla Walla. July 27.-The coro-
ner's jury, which returned to the toll
gate from across the Little salmon
yesterday afternoon decided that John
Prel, the sheepherder found dead in
the mountains, came to his death by
a gunshot wound inflicted by himself.
1t was clearly proved to the jury
that Prel had been standing on a log,
leaning on the muzzle of his 5000
Winchester rifle, when it was acci-
dentally discharged. The bullet tore
the middle finger of his left hand off.
and passed through his body near the
heart. The accident occurred within
a quarter of mile of the mans camp
and evidently while he watching his
sheep. ~
Owing to the decomposed condition
of the body, the man was buried near
where he was found and the grave
marked with mound of stones. His
name and short obituary were writ
