PULLMAN COMPANY PAYS TAX.
First Corporation to Pay Under Gross
Earnings Tax.

The Pullman company yesterday
paid into the state treasurer's office
$745.2S, which was per cent of their
gross earnings, from June 29, up to
the present time.
This money was paid over to the
state in compliance with the corpo-
ration tax law which went into effect
June 25, 1906, compelling all car,
express, railroad and transportation
corporations to pay into the state
treasury a certain per cent of their
gross earnings. This is the first mon
ey received under the act proposed
by the initiative petition which went
into effect last June.
In making their remittance the
Pullman company, deducted 5000
from same, on the ground that they
were entitled to do so under the IL
cense tax law of 1908, which they
claim excepts them from paying the
full amount.
In an opinion rendered to State
Treasurer Steel yesterday, Attorney
General Crawford says that the COM
pany has no right to withhold the
5000 tax and action will therefore be
brought to recover it If the company
persists in its refusal to pay.

Assessor C. P. Strain, who has just
returned from Milton and Freewater,
is enthusiastic over the prospects
ahead of that section of the county.
Property in Milton is now advancing
rapidly because of the coming of the
electric railroad from Walla Walla,
some substantial street improvements
are to be made and numerous home
seekers are now inquiring for homes
and tracts of land in that vicinity.
Along the entire length of the cleo
trio line from Walla Walla to Mil
ton, the land is being cut up into
small tracts of from three to five
acres and he looks for a solid set
lement of small farmers, orchardists
and truck raisers in that vicinity as
soon as the line Is completed.
The rich loan will produce abun-
dantly with irrigation and the wa
ter supply there is ample to meet the
needs of a dense population. The
cannery which has just been organ
ized in F'reewater promises to give
the people an excellent home market
for all their surplus products and 1t
gives promise of becoming one of the
most busy and attractive settlements
in the county.
Many Walla Walla people are pur-
chasing small tracts along the line
and 1t is thought that many elegant
homes will be built there where the
families of business men will live, In
preference to maintaining bigh-prced
homes the city. With tho electric
line in operation 1t will be possible
to reach Walla Walla from any point
along the line within n few minutes
and az the country offers many at
fractions this feature Of home build
ing along the electric line is highly
promising.
Land Is now selling at all the way
from 5000 to $500 per acre along
the line Of the road and there is
every evidence that It will be higher.
Milton is receiving a real shaking
up and there is an air of prosperity
In the town that is contagious.
