Raised Railroad Assessment.

County Assessor G. s. Graves has
returned from Albany where he
attended the convention of the county
assessors of Western Oregon. The
most important action OF the conven-
ton was the agreement to fix the
valuation of the main line OF the
Southern Pacific railroad, including
rolling stock, at $4,000 per mile.
This is nearly three times the valua-
ton that has heretofore been placed
on this road. Assessor Graves says
this raise is in line with the action OF
the assessors in raising the valuation
of all other classes of property this
wear. The West Side and Yamhill
divisions of the Southern Pacific will
be assessed at $4,000 per mile, and
the Pullman campany will be required
to pay on valuation of $400 a mile.
Telephone and telegraph lines, timber
lands and banks came In for much
discussion, but no conclusion was
reached as to their valuation, and
each assessor will assess them accord
ing to his own idea.

Col. Mcdaniel, who slings ink in
Salem for the Portland Telegram, has
this
"Hal d Patton of this city presented
flag to the Mountain View school,
in Polk county Thursday, with the
usual ceremony which accompanies
such an event. The speakers were
Hal D. Patton, Director J. R. Chap
man, Frank Davey, Colonel E. Hofer
and County Superintendent Starr of
Polk county.
"Mr Patton has tried to confine his
flag donations to the schools of Marion
county, but he said yesterday that
when a pretty young lady school
teacher asked him for flag he could
not resist. Superintendent Starr de-
clared that every school in Polk county
was sure of flag, because they did
not employ any but good looking
schoolmarms.

WILL GO TO YELLOWSTONE
Miss Nola Coad Will Be Member of
OregOnlan Excursion
Party.

Miss Nola Coad, a daughter Of
County Judge and Mrs. Ed. F. Coad,
of this city, will be member Of the
Oregonian excursion party on the trip
to the Yellowstone National Park in
July. In addition to the "a winners,
it has been decided to take along upon
the trip ten of the other candidates,
who while they worked particularly
hard and faithful, were beaten out.
Miss Coad is one of the ten selected to
accompany the party.
The contest in District No. l6, COM
prising Dallas, McMinnville, Forest
Grove and Heppner, was fast and ex-
citing from the start, and more votes
were cast than in any other districts
in the Northwest except two districts
in the city of Portland. Many towns
in Oregon twice as large as Dallas
did not cast one-half as many votes.
The final vote stood: Miss Ona
Gillian, of Heppner, 225,s6O; Miss
Nola Coad, Of Dallas, 221, 1924; Miss
Isora Edmiston, of McMinnville,
SO, 1893; Miss Lizzie Macrum, of Forest
Grove, 5O,S92. After counting the
ballots, the Oregonian at once decided
to invite the Dallas candidate to ac-
company the party, feeling that she
was entirely too deserving to be left
behind.
The Oregonian party will reach
Portland on the night of July 8, and
after spending the Fourth in that
city and day at Long Beach, will
leave by special train for the famous
Yellowstone Park. The train will
stop only at the larger cities, and will
go to Salt Lake before being taken to
the park. Many side trips have been
arranged, and nothing will be left
undone that will add to the comfort
and enjoyment of the members Of the
party.
