COUNTY's VALUES INCREASE
HALF A MILLION
Assessor Has Footed Up the Tax
Rolls and Finds Healthy Advance
I'm the County's Assessment-Much
More Improved Property Than Last
Year.

The La Grande Observer says Of
the Union county assessment for this
year:
Union county's assessed valuation
for 1908 is almost $4,000 accord,
ing to grand totals that have been
compiled in the assessors office this
week from assessments turned In by
the deputy assessors in all the dis
tricts OF the county.
There are several assessments in
La Grande that have not been made
for the reason that the property own
ers are out OF the city. When they
return, the assessment roll for the
entire county will be complete.
County Is Richer.
BY a half million dollars the coun-
ty is richer than last year. There Is,
technically speaking, more than a half
million dollars additional wealth in
the county because horses and house.
hold goods are assessed lower than
last year. Then, too, there were few
er notes assessed this year than last.
The only thing that is assessed high
er this year is timber land. There Is
large figure in timber land and this
has in a measure helped to swell the
tCtal assessment figures.
The Increase in valuation is largely
for improved property. The deputy
assessors found Improvement rampant
ir all parts of the county and houses
and buildings of all descriptions that
last year were valued as ordinary
property have this year been improv-
ed to such an extent that the owners
will be required to pay at first-class
property rates.
1t is seldom that the county's
wealth has increased so much in one
year as It has since the 1907 assess
ment.

SHOULD MANICURE
FINGER NAILS
EVERY DAY.

Taking care Of the fingers IS like TAX

Rubber gloves are Of great use 10 the

To take proper care of the nails one
must have the proper instruments, but
these are neither numerous nor eXpen-
sive. The first and most important are
the scissors. These should be of the
very best steel, and never used for any
thing but manicuring. Besides these
one must have orange wood sticks, a

are two good colOring materials which
can be used.
Both will wash. and each has its spe-

The second medium is oil paint thin

This medium is especially useful when
cotton fabrics are TO be stenciled. as
they will absorb the paint more readily
than dyes.
