ESTIMATES MADE
BY ASSESSOR WILL
STAND

Unless Assessor Harry v. Rails
back Is mistaken as to the law re-
Hating to assessments, the Wash
ington Advertising & Brokerage
company will be compelled to pay
taxes upon $4,000 worth of prop
|erty which the officials of the
company value at only 1900. Mr..
Railsback declares that they can
not take the case into the courts.
The company was yesterday de-
MED a hearing before the board OF
equalization because they had
failed to turn in statement of the
value of their signs on the inter-
urban cars, although called upon
nine times by the deputy assessors.
The assessor then place their
valuation at $1,000 and at that
figure it will probably remain.
An attorney for the company
was given fe wmoments to speak
to the board yesterday. He stated
that the reason why the company
had not turned In its statement
was that at the time law asked,
there was no head official In the
Tacoma branch. But the board
declined to hear the petition of
the company and Mr.. Railsback
thinks that the law prohibits the
case being taken into the courts
unless hearing has been had
with the board of equalization.

in this connection. He paid sew

D1sAsTER NARROWLY AVERT
I'D ON NIGHT OF THE BIG
EVERETT FIRE.

EVERETT. Aug. 6.--It was
learned today that on the same
night that the many incendfary
fires occurred which threatened
the destruction Of the city, an at
tempt was made to wreck the
Great Northern owl train at the
point OF the Everett peninsula.
The lock on a switch had been
opened with a key that fitted 1t.
and disaster was probably
eyerted when freight train,
backing into the open switch, was
derailed. Had 1t not been for
this fortunate circumstance the
heavy passenger train running at
. high rate of speed would have
crashed through the switch and
many persons would undoubtedly
nave been killed In the wreck.
Railroad officials who have inves-
tfgated think that revenge may
have been the motive for the act.
