INCREASE OF MILLIONS.
Timber Cruisers Delay the Compile
ton of the Real Estate
Valuation.


Assessment rolls of the personal
property in Yakima county have been
completed by Assessor Sindall and
his assistants and show an increase
of s2,2S0,6S5 for 1908 over the
equalized value for 1907. AS the as
sessment is at a basis of sixty per
cent of the actual value of the prop
erty, the rolls show that a total Of
S3,S0f,140 worth of personal goods
has been added for 1908, showing a
wonderful gain in the value of Yaki-
ma county The increase over the
assessed value for 1907 is $1,6S5,-
215, the board of equalizers having
changed the figures to some extent
The total assessed value for 1907
was S3,610.690 and the equaliz I'd
value was S3,015.210. This included
the assessments for the Northern Pa
cifc main line. the Western Union
Telegraph company, the Northern Ex-
press company, the North Yakima &
Valley railroad and the Sunnyside
branch line. The total amount for
these assessments was s2S2.010.
These corporations, and also the
Yakima Valley Transportation corr
pany, are now assessed by the state
board of tax commissioners, and the
figures compiled by Them have not
been announced. but Assessor Sindall
has placed the total at the same low
figure as in 1907 s2S2.010. Taking
this as a basis. and adding the full
county assessment that has been
made the total for 1908 is given az
$5,295,9o5.
Actual value of the personal prop
erty of the county is shown by this
assessment to be SS.S26.510.
The fact that so much of Yakima
county is coming under irrigation has
caused drop in two features OF the
personal assessment roll the number
Of cattle and of sheep. There was a
falling off of assessment of 500, 900
in the sheep this year, though MT
quite as large a sum in cattle.
Increase is especially noticeable n
the amount of goods and merchandise
This year the assessor has secured his
figures on the actual invoice of
stocks. instead OF making estimates
on the goods, as has been done III
years gone by.
1t is anticipated that the railroad
and public utility assessment will be
heavier this year than in previous
years. The state board must consider
improvements that have been made
in Yakima county, the fact that the
North Coast railroad owns consider
able right of way and some gradin :,
the building of the street car line
and increase in telegraph facilities,
The express business is taxed on the
gross receipts.
Assessor Sindall does not expect
to have the real estate work done
until August, just before the board
of equalization meets. The delay is
principally caused by the timber
cruising this year Cruisers have
just started in the Mount Adams dis
trict, covering five townships. and
will not finish until late in the month.

upon her school days and she will be
married several months before the
opening of the winter season. Miss
White is pretty girl and, although a
great favorite in the younger set, she
is rather earnest and studious for her
years, great reader and already a
