The Assessor Talks.
Editor LEADER

Editor LEADER:
Being called along with each
assessor of Oregon before the State
board OF equalization to give inform
alton and testimony to assist them
IN adjusting the State apportion-
ment. And after testifying before
the board and listening to the tes-
tlmony OF all of them | have these
impressions and opinions. First
that the assessment of property is a
very hard task, and my reasons for
saying this is several of the assessors
testified that they had for the year
I9oo assessed the property of their
counties at full cash value, or at 100
per cent, but I don't think out of
the whole bunch of "a assessors
there was one but what failed to
maintain this 100 per cent and |
also believe each one of them knows
for himself as well as the 33 others
condition as himself
that ne failed. My Impression is
at t ne property of the State of
Oregon is double what the ASSESS
ment rolls of the state will show,
also that there is not a county in
the state that will show more than
6O per cent of her property on tn.
1908 tax roll with the lowest per-
haps % per cent.
Second thai it is impossible for
any man to assess his county at full
cash value and get it equal alone,
but il the people would give him all
the information they could and
make fair list of what they own
and what they consider the value,
then it would be equallzed in some
thing near the right way.
But this is only my impressions
and | give them to you for what
they are worth. w. e. BALL.

ORIGIN


The story Of the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how TO conduct, was led TO study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find a food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
q mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance In brain and
nerve centers is made from Aibumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food. Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food. 1t contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity of the brain
and nervous system, making it a
pleasure for n to carry on the daily
duties without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is In no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature OF the brain worker
spcken OF, C. W. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package OF Grape-Nuts-
