Especially When It Comes
10 Listing Property.
RICHEST MEN SEEM POOREST
Turns in $61O for Assessment,
Then Declines to Sign Sheet
Fearing Mistake.

Ex-Governor Miles c. Moore, pres
ident of the Baker-Boyer bank, presi-
dent of the M. C. Moore & Sons
company, reputed to be one of the
wealthiest men in the state, is the
only taxpayer in Walla Walla county
who refused to make affidavit to his
personal propbrty assessment this
year.
This was disclosed a few days ago
while the county board of equalization
was perusing the detail sheets, filed
with the board by Assessor Bergman.
Members of the board stated this
morning that they did not know just
what action would be taken in Mr..
Moore's case. The matter will prob
ably be taken up by the board early
next week after some twenty-five
complaints against this years assess
ment are disposed of.
The state tax commission is posi-
tive in it's order to assessors to re-
quire all taxpayers to sign the de-
tail sheet and make oath to their as
sessment. The refusal of Mr.. Moore
to affix his signature to the affidavit
attached to the detail sheets has
caused much comment among men,
bers of the board of equalization and
officials around the court house.
"Wen. Governor Moore declined to
make affidavit to his personal proper
ty assessment at the time the assess
ment was taken in March and that is
about all there is to it," said Asses
sor Bergman, when questioned as to
the reason why Mr. Moore had refused
to affix his signature to the detail
sheet.
Governor Moore gave as a reason
for not making the affidavit required
by the state tax commission that he
was not sure whether he had put in
all his property or not. 1 pointed out
that the law required all taxpayers to
make affidavit to their personal prop
erty. but he declined to sign the de-
tail sheet"
Governor Moore's personal property
is listed under two heads, M. c. Moore
and NJ c. Moore & Sons company.
According to the detail sheet under
the head of M. c. Moore, the governor
is assessed with but $500 worth of
personal effects, including household
furniture. ETC., and had but 800 to his
credit, either on hand or on deposit
at the time the assessment was made
last March.
The governor personally says he
owns no horses, mules or asses, no
stock of any kind, no bicycles, auto
mobiles. pianos or gold and silverware,
no grain, hay, or other farm products,
no notes, bills receivable or other
not even sport a timepiece.
The governors assessment totals
the munificent sum of 1910.
Under the head of M. c. Moore &
Sons, a company organized some years
ago with Mr.. Moore as president, the
detail sheets show that the company
owns personal property of the as
sessed value of $11,410, but the de-
tail sheet, as in the case of Governor
Moore, is not signed by any member
of the firm to show that the property
owned by the company has been cor
rectly listed.
Property Given In.
The company owns as the detail
sheet shows, horses and cattle valued

CITY IS TO HELP ACQUIRE IT

That Walla Walla has the inside
track when it comes to affording the
best facilities for military work in
connection with the army post and
possible brigade camp is fully demon
strated in a report recently made to
the secretary of the Department of the
Columbia The description which is
enthusiastic for an unbiased army
officer going about mis- duty, shows
fully the splendid, natural field for un-
trammeled range practice, summer
camps and maneuvers.
Some time ago the commander of
the division ordered Colonel Goodwin
to inspect adjacent territory with the
view of securing a more suitable tar
get range-one which could be used
for larger bodies than battalions or
regiments.
Col. Goodwin detailed Captain H. P.
Howard, quartermaster, and Captain
Alonzo Grey, troop commander of the
Fourteenth cavalry, to make the in
spection.
After a lengthy trip through the
hills and a careful survey of the local
tiles in the Blue Mountains. the Off
GERS returned with glowing descrip-
tions of an ideal site for a target
range.

In the report made the officers de-
veloped their appreciation of the
charming. as we'll as practical nature
of the site they found. The report,
written by Captain Howard, is, in
substance, as follows:
"The proposed range has been in
spected by Captain Grey and myself.
"The site examined is an ideal one
for a target range and is ample for

and south, gently sloping to the north,
Ill a

Beyond this hill the country drops
abruptly into a precipitous wooded
and entirely uninhabitated' country,
which ends some three miles away in
small mountain.
"The ground is smooth and covered
with short turf Fine springs OF cold
water are near at hand, ample for

Rance is Unlimited.
"a range for eight targets can be
constructed on the estimate given. An
unlimited number of targets can oe
provided in future at an addltlonai
cost should it be desired to enlarge
the range for competitions. for which
purpose it is admirably adapted
"The climate is cool and camping

"The city of Walla Walla will prob

O. O. Denny, the Seattle capitalist
who purchased the Walla Walla thea
fro property at the corner of Second
and Alder streets of Paine Brothers,
few davs ago, may tear down the old
building and erect handsome four
story brick and steel structure at
cost of $4,000 to $4,000.
Architect Henry Osterman has been
engaged by Mr.. Denny to estimate the
cost of an entirely new building and
also the cost of repairing the old
structure to conform with the re-
ouirements of Walla Wallas new
building ordinance.
Mr.. Denny has not decided yet
whether he will erect an entirely new
building or repair the old structure,
said Architect Osterman this morn
ing.
To be Four Stories.
IF new building is decided upon
it will be four story structure cost
ing around $4,000 l estimate that 1t
will cost at least $4,000 to repair the
present building. 1t will be neces-
.sary to excavate a basement, in either
event and Mr. Denny may decide on
an entirely new building"
Further than this Architect Oster-
man said he knew nothing of Mr.. Dem
ny's plans or for what purpose the
property is to be utilized.
4 rumor was current this morning
that Mr. Denny contemplated the
property for a hotel building but Mr.
Osterman said he felt sure that such
was not the case.

Through His word,

Clearly heard,
Just to tell Him everything,
AS it rises,
And at once to Him to bring
All surprises.
Just to listen and to stay
Where you can not miss His voice.
This is all! and today,

These words are not mere theory ex-
pressed or the result of exaggerated
Imagination but they are the very
essence of a life hid with Christ in God.
Oh how many times we go wrong just
because we do moi listen to Gods voice.
How much sorrow and anguish is ours
because we do not tell Jesus everything
that comes into our life. How often is
cur life dark and we are useless as a
factor for good and a help to those who
need US so much just because we do not
commune often enough with. Jesus.
Shall we not one and all make the at
