Shingles was increased from q, ,Oo0, ,O00
to 31,217.OO0.
Household goods of the county in
1909 were valued at S21O,S47 and this
year valuations were increased to
$S72,391 Merchandise last year paid
on a valuation of $395,44 and this
year WAS valued at $564,522. Manu-
facturers' tools, which include all the
machinery in the mills and manufac-
turing plants of the county, were in
1910 valued at $54S,457 and this year

ing $595 .693. Banks of the county in

The board of equalization played a
waiting game yesterday, that is. they
waited around the court house for
oSHAC ciiC ~ Si!c" up anu AiNH a5ut-lS
his assessment The only person to
appear was DR.. 7. C. Frary, of Ho-
quiam, who did not appear in the
guise of kicker, but stated there was
not an equitable assessment made on
the property near the city hail. on
Seventh and J street.
He said he was not objecting to
the valuation placed on his property,
provided it was equitable. The board
then ordered w. L. Adams, who owns
the northwest corner, on which he
was formerly assessed at $1,050, to
appear and show cause why the valu.
alton should not be raised to $4,000,
and also the Grays Harbor Realty
company to show why valuations on
it's property should not be increased
from $4,000 to $500
Now that the board has plenty of
time it would be we'll for those who
desire to complain against assessed
valuations to appear before the last
day, and avoid the crowd

How to Prepare
French Souff1e Potatoes

While the French cook uses for this
purpose the small yellow Holland pota-
toes, any mealy kind Will produce

across the grain. The slices must be
about twice as thick as for Saratoga
potatoes. in order to allow for two
crusts to the pun. Drop In cold water
for an hour or so, then drain, and wipe
perfectly dry. Have two kettles OF lat

Drop a few slices at time in the first

THE EASIEST WAY TO
SHAMPOO THE HEAD

Mrs. Mae Martyr, writing in the Oak
land Tribune, on Care of the Hair in
Summertime" says: Hot weather
months, with their dust-laden atmos-
phere compel one to indulge frequently
in shampoos in order to keep the hair
clean, fluffy, and lustrous.
"A delightfully."- cooling and soothing
shampoo can be had with canthrox,
which is very beneficial to both hair
and scalp, and SO easy to use that Wis
iting a shampoo parlor is unnecessary.
Get a package of canthroX and dis
solve a teaspoonful in hot water. Rub

When purchasing mating get several
yards extra, with which to make sum-
mer rugs. You can cut this extra piece
into desired lengths and finish them
neatly on the edges by pulling out the
straws to the depth of several inches
and tying up the threads.
These rugs protect the floor covering
quite as well as heavier ones, and have
tire advantage of being without fuzz

VIII you please tell me what cold cream
will do to the face, and II II Is good? How
should 1t be used, and how often?
Yours truly. ALICE
Cold cream should be found on the
dressing table of every woman of re-
fnement. The fine complexiuns of ac-
tresses is due in a great measure to
their lavish use Of cold cream, which
they employ in place of soap and water
to remove the paints and powders of
makeup. 1t is softening, bles ching, and
prevents wrinkles, acting as a skin
food and building up the tissues, but
great care should be exercised in the
purchase of creams, as many of the
highly perfumed creams are rancid, and
will prove injurious to the complexion.
