DOGS NOT TAXABLE IN
STATE OF WASHINGTON.
Member of Tax Board Makes Such Ru-
ling In Letter. Although Courts
Have Never Decided Point.

OLYMPIA, March 16.-DOgs are no,
taxable in Washington. This is de-
creed by the state board of tax COM
missioners, ]. E. Frost. a member of
the commission, has written letter
which is made part of an opinion by
the board in reply to a question raised
Inv L. Ozum. a rancher in Lewis coun-
tv as to why CANNES should not be
taxed as personal property.
After going into details, Frost ends
his argument in these clinching words:
1T is an axiom that the more dogs
a man possesses the more shiftless and
impecunious he is, and that the num-
her of dogs in a neighbOrhood is n
never-failing index to the thrift and
character of the population.
$50 far as we have been able TO
ascertain. our courts have never been
called upon to interpret the status OF
the dog and, in consequence, we are
without a guide TO our faltering foot
steps and must perforce grope in the
dark without the illuminating rays OF
iu.1icial wisdom to disperse the mists
of ignorance before our pathway.

He had been accused of embezzling
about 5000 from the Preston Parton

them in Weston and Athena. After
collecting this money he skipped out
and was arrested in Portland a few
months later and brought back for

He was confined in the county Jail
for some time and finally after he had
promised to reimburse the company
District Attorney Phelps yielded to
the fearful pleadings of his wife and

Parson was accordingly paroled and

A train was sent over the Wallula
branch to test the road where it was
Submerged by flood waters from Mill
|creek and the Walla Walla river. The
Officials were notified this morning that
the big bridge spanning the Touchet
lat Dayton, was moved six inches out OF
plum by chop mill, which was
washed into the stream and lodged
against the bridge.
The mill contained 1000 sacks of bar
ley which were lost in the flood. The
Touchet, according to messages re-
ceived today was a veritable torrent
and considerable damage to bridges
and lowlands resulted. A large area OF
low lands along the Touchet bottom
were flooded, causing considerable
damage to alfalfa crops.
A report reached Walla Walla this
morning that there was imminent
danger of both the Northern. Pacific
and o. r. & N. bridges across the
Touchet above Huntsville going out.
The approaches are badly undermoned.
Saved Water System.
A great fight to save the intake of
the new water system was made by
Water Superintendent Knight and a
crew of five men, who labOred for over
SO hours keeping the intake free of
great rocks and trees that were swept
down stream into the system.
The only damage resulting to the
system was the washing away of two
screens and the washing out Of a fill
around the pipe line at the Wicker
sham bridge. The damage is nominal
and will be quickly repaired as soon
as the water subsidies.
The height of the flood at the intake
was reached about 10 o'clock last night
when close to six feet of water was
pouring over the dam, bringing
down great rocks and logs. Superin-
tendent Knight and his force labored
INCREASINGLY all plight long keeping the
intake clear.
One of the men narrowly escaped
drowning yesterday afternoon While
going down stream to the Davis place
to inspect the pipe line.
The Wickersham bridge was badly
racked by .va;e.. and one approach is
reported to have been washed out.

BILE. The only way to reach the upper
stream is by the Russell creek road
over the hills.
While both Garrison creek and the
Yellow Hawk were flowing bank full
little damage was reported along either
stream. Garrison creek overfiowed at
Juniper street and a great quantity OF
water spread over the southern part
of the city but the damage was slight,
being confined principally to sidewalks
