ASSESSORS CHOSEN N---NEW
SYSTEM |NAUGURATED THIS YEAR

Deputy assessors for the year have
been chosen by Assessor Strain for the
duty of determining the taxable prop
erty in the county. This year Mr..
Strain has been particular in his
choice of deputies as the work to be
done is of a more precise nature
than in former years. For the first
time all the assessable land will have
minute inspection and each forty
acres will be assessed individually.
Broken and uneven land will be seq
regated and classified and each forty
will be assessed as TO its actual val
ue
Timber land and grazing land will
be kept in the office so that the tax
payers themselves will be able to see
the value of the land in the county
Another new feature will be added
to the assessment of the land this
year. Farmers will no more have to
pay taxes on the road that adjoins
their property as they have in former
years. To this action the taxpayers
have been entitled for several years,
but no change has been made up to

FLOUR TAKES
ANOTHER JUMP
ADVANCE OF TWENTY FIVE
CENTS PER BARREL MADE
High Price of Wheat Gives Millers
Excuse for Advancing Price of
"Staff of Life"-Second Alyance of
Twenty-Five Cents Within the Past
few Weeks.

Flour is still on the rise. 1t has
gone up 25 cents barrel in the last
week. This action on the part of the
millers is neccary on account of the
steady rise of wheat in the last few
weeks. AS it takes five bushels of
wheat to make barrel of flour, each
time the price advances one cent a
bushel it is necessary TO advance the
price of flour five cents a barrel.As
the price of wheat has advanced
nearly ten cents a bushel during the
winter the millers to keep even have
twice raised the price of flour twenty
five cents. The first raise was made
about the first of the month.
