the tariff board. being Of the opinion
that il would be of immeasursble value
to the executive in the wise extension
Of our foreign markets. and to such as
myself. i'm determining the merits Of
tariff questions coming before US con-
stantly."
Among others whom Mr. Miles mem
toned as having informed him that
they were in favor of the scheme, were

GROWTH Or THE TOWNS
Assessors Report Shows Big Increase
in Wealth of Towns in 13
Years

County Auditor w. M. Duncan has
completed tabulation of the yearly
assessment valuations of Whitman
county from 1895 to 1908, inclusive,
and also the annual tax leyies for the

The table shows that, while the as
sessed valuation of the county has
increased from $11,236,375 in 1905
to $21,782,352 in 1908, an advance
of $10,645,977, a little over 80 per
cent, the tax levy has decreased from
20 to 10 mills, reduction of 25 per
cent in the levy as against an in
crease of so per cent in the assessed
valuation. The total tax in 1895
was $382,923, and in 1908 it was
$3.50, 017, an increase of $26O,O94 in
IA years.
The figures given show the in
crease and decrease in the valuation
and levy in municipalities in Whit
man county since 1895.
According to these figures Palouse
has the largest increase, with Car
field second, Pullman third, Rosalia
fourth, Tekoa fifth, Colfax sixth, and
Elberton seventh. The record for
the highest per cent increase is held
by Rosalia, which has added nearly
200 per cent to its wealth since 1895.
The record for diminishing valua-
ton is held by Cotton, over 100 per
cent. Oakesdale comes next with
Uniontown third and Pennington
last.
The valuation in Palouse in 1893
was $315,400, and in 1908 $467,286,
making an increase of $151,886.-
