SYLVESTER RETURNS
FROM ELLENSBURG
Meets Stookmen of MttitaS COuny--De-
veiOpment of Iron Deposit

Forest Supervisor Sylvester accom-
panied by Mr.. Springer of the forestry
department returned from Ellensburg
last Sunday, whittier he went last week
to meet the stockmen of Kittitas county
who expect to Craze stock on the ma
tional forest the coming summer. Such
matters as the apportionment of range,
conservation and regulation were under
discussion, and altogether. says Mr..
Sylvester, the meeting was interesting
and profitable.
The city Of Ellensburg has on its hands
a water proposition similar to that with
which Leavenworth is wrestling. The
city, he says, is enjoying an era Of pros
perity and growth. Streets are being
paved and new buildings are under
construction. a syndicate composed
Of French capitalists have made invest
ments in iron ore and have secured a
franchise for an electric road to be
built up the Gle Elum river to within a
few miles of where the Van Epps mines
are located at the head of the Icicle
river. A large electric power plant
will be constructed to furnish power for
the road. Development of iron de-
post in what is known as the Bessemer
iron district in Kittitas county is the
object of the French syndicate.

No Tax on HeIan County Fruit Trees

With the purpose of encouraging the
planting Of fruit trees the legislature
number OF years ago passed a law ex-
empting fruit trees from taxation. The
tax commission recently decided the
law exempting fruit trees was uncon-
stitutional and instructed all county
assessors in future to put a valuation OF
the trees in assessing orchards. In
Yakima and other counties trees have
been assessed for several years, but
Chelan county has never followed the
custom. Under instructions from the
county attorney Assessor Osborne has
refused to assess the trees this year.
This move was followed by an order
from the commission fixing the amount
of state tax Chelan county must pay,
which is based on all the property in
the county, including the fixed yalua-
ton of the fruit trees, so that By ex-
empting the fruit trees the state tax on
all other property will be higher in
Chelan county than any other county
in the state, and other property will
pay the taxes on fruit trees. To many
taxpayers this will amount to so little
that they will likely prefer to pay the
extra amount rather than go to law, but
to the railroad company it will amount
to considerable and the railroads never
pay anything that they can get out Of.
In any event there is strong probability
Of the constitutionality of the fruit tree
exemption being settled before the
next assessment is levied.

Gill and GiIism Go Down to Defeat

The mayoralty election in Seattle has

attracted statewide Interest. The an

there is in life-who believe in moral

place and power men who favor law
lessness, and immortality, for which the

munity Seattle was on trial before the
whole country and most nobly did she
raise the standard of righteousness on
the walls of a great and proud city.
saying to the world We deserve to grow

With an unfailing faith in the virtue,
the integrity and the patriotism OF a
majority of the voters the result is just
as we expected and predicted.
II it shall ever fall to our lot to reside
in a community where majority OF
the citizens by their vote show they
favor what Gillism stands for. We shall
quickly get out Of that community, as
we do not think there could be that
respect for life or property that would
promote peace Of mind.

the rich and prosperous Northwest

are entitled to better protection from
the money grabbers that infest our
