A French Scientist informs us that the earth may be 700,O00,O00 years old, although other scientists have never dared to estimate the age of our planet at more than 100,OO0,0 ,000 years. We would become vitally in- terested in this matter if it were not for the fact that 1t would be just as hard as ever to stay in the earth, even if we were to establish proof of the correctness of the French scientists es, innate.

DEMOCRATS NAME DELEGATES
Will Go to State Convention a,
Walla WalIa.
Sentiment Favorable to Wilson.

The Democratic mass convention. held
at Newport on Saturday afternoon, did
not bring together avery large array
OF the Democracy of the county. A few
were present from down river, but the
bulk OF those in attendance came from
Newport and surrounding country.
The convention was called to order at
8 o'clock p. m. by Ralph R. Isaacs, of
Locke, county chairman. j. w. Rauch
was chosen permanent chairman of the
meeting, with M. F. Ryan as secretary.
1t having been announced that the
county was entitled to eight delegates
to the state convention at Walla Walla.
and it being the desire of the convention
to name only such as could be depended
on to make an effort to attend the state
meeting, on motion a committee, con-
slstlng of George T. Heslin, A. S. Sher.
lock and John Fl. Long, was named by
the chair to present list of parties
who will be willing to go as delegates
to the convention for consideration.
The committee reported the following
list of delegates:
M. F. Ryan, George T. Heslin, Geo.
Mckee. J. W. Ashpaugh, Newport;
George w. Johnston, Tweedie; George
H. Bobier, Wolfred; w. /. Fountain,
Locke; L. c. Ashpaugh, lone.
Alternates were selected as follows:
E. Thackston, lone; P. H. Sullivan and
R. R. Isaacs, Locke; J. w. Rauch, John
Long, F. M. Smith and R, D. Troyer,
Newport; Mrs. George H. Bobier, VOL
fred.
The report of the committee was
unanimously adopted and the names
submitted accepted as delegates.
George T. Heslin addressed the con-
vention, advising that straw ballot be
taken to determine the choice of the
Democrats assembled as to presidential
candidates. He did not favor instruc-
tions, but thought that the delegates
should be advised as to the wishes of
the members of the party.
Despite the protest of several sup
porters of Champ Clark, who evidently
feared that the ballot would result un-

were called upon to pay less than previ-

The real purpose of boosting the tax
able valuation and lowering the levy is
to increase the bonding capacity of the
county and the various towns and school
districts. For instance, the county was
able to bond for only $72, 900, because
that sum was the limit of Il per cent
valid Indebtedness that the county could
assume under it's 1911 valuation. There
fore the county must pay per cent in
terest on some $40, 900, instead of get
ting it at per cent, which could have
been done had our valuation been higher.
If the county's valuation is increased
two or three million dollars this year,
it's bonding capacity is increased u per
cent of the increased valuation and the
difference in interest saved. and at the
same time the tax levy can be cut. and
no greater amount of taxes collected
than previously.
School districts can bond for per
cent of the taxable valuation. If the
valuation of district No. is increased
$780, 900 we can bond for $40, 600 more
for the new school facilities that the
district needs so badly, yet for general
taxation no more money is needed than
before, and the levies can be cut at a
corresponding rate as the assessment is
raised
The taking of the assessment of the
town of Newport has stirred up consid-
cradle resentment among property
owners of the town. and from present
indications it is likely that when the
Board of Equalization meets in August
it will have large delegations of pro-
testing citizens to placate. It is not
anticipated that changes in the work,
as returned by the assessor, will not be
necessary, but the Board of Equaliza-
tion will be in shape to make compari-
sons with complete records before them
and every taxpayer will have an oppor-
tunity to air his grievance.
To illustrate the manner in which the
real estate assessment of the town of
Newport has been carried out the fol-
lowing figures have been compiled:
Corner lots on blocks Z, 8, IL and 13,
the two business blocks on Washington
avenue between Second and Fourth
streets have been assessed on basis of
$685. 33 per front foot.
Corner lots on blocks and 4 on
Washington avenue between First and
Second streets at $26 per front foot.
Corner lots in blocks 9 and Is in

ASSESSMENT IS BEING MADE
All Property Valuation to be On
Higher Basis.
Tax Levies to be Gut Accordingly.

On undertaking the work of making
the assessment of the county this year,
Assessor Purchase, after conference
with the County Commissioners, who,
with the assessor and county treasurer,
will constitute the Board of Equaliza-
ton, decided to make an attempt
to bring the assessment of the county
up to so per cent of actual value. The
the state shall be listed at actual value,
but it has heretofore been the custom
of assessors throughout the state to
assess on basis of so per cent or less.
After the county assessors complete
their work the State Board of Tax
Commissioners goes over the same and
compares the valuations of the several
counties throughout the state, and, act
ing on the best information at their
command, arrive at the percentage of
actual value. For instance, last year
year the State Board found that Stew
ems and Pend Oreille counties were as
sessed at only % per cent of their actual
valuation, while the average throughout
the state was 40 per cent, and there
fore raised our valuation to 40 per cent
for state purposes only.
The members of the local Board of
Equalization, having agreed to attempt
to raise the percentage to so per cent,
also agreed that the levies for taxation
should be reduced to such an extent as
would make the net amount of taxes
collected no greater than it was for last
year. In other words, it would cut no
figure whether one pays high rate of
taxation on a low assessment, or low
rate on high assessment. The results
would be the same as far as individuals
are concerned.
Last year the assessors of Idaho were
instructed to place all property on the
tax rolls at 100 per cent of it's full value
Local parties who own property in
Idaho will recall that they anticipated
that their taxes would amount to a
ruinous figure, but were agreeably dis

CLEAN UP DAY IS ORDERED
Citizens Requested to Clean Up
Their Premises.
Penalty For Noncompliance.

Notice is hereby given, by order, of
the health committee, that Tuesday,
April %, will be cleanup day. All
property owners and tenants. are re-
quired to clean their premises and alleys
OF all refuse. Any person not comply
ing with this notice will be subject to a
fine not exceeding $50 and costs of
prosecution, as provided by Ordinance
No. IL of the town of Newport, Wash.
Signed, COMMITTEE.
The annual Cleanup Day, as desig-
mated above by the Board of Health
Committee of the town council should
result in a general observance of the
day and united effort on the part of
our citizens to put their premises in the
best possible condition.
Not only will the sanitary condition
of the town be bettered, but the general
appearance of public and private prop
erty improved. There is already no
ticeable a disposition on the part of
property owners to comply with the
provisions of the town ordinances, and
they have already started the work of
getting rid of the accumulation of rub
bish.
Newport is now in position to be
proud of it's general cleanly condition,
but there is always room for improve
ment. Our citizens take much pride in
the well kept streets of the town and
the cleaning up of alleys and back yards,
as called for by the town ordinance,
will show that we are striving not only
for goodlooking front, but also be-
lieve in being clean in every respect.
With general cleaning up this spring
and then the exercise of little care in
keeping down weeds on vacant lots and
adjoining parking strips, Newport will
be ''spotless town" that we may we'll
be proud of.
Let's all take a hand in the work of
cleaning up next Tuesday, and the re-
suit will be gratifying to all.

Clearing Land For Strawberries.

Good progress is being made in the
clearing of 40 acres of land for the
Strawberry Growers Association and
as much as possible of the acreage
will be set out this spring. $4,000
plants of the Clark seeding variety
have arrived from the Hood river coun-
try for setting out on this tract.
Interest in the Growers Association
is becoming quite widespread and
ranchers near neighboring towns are
preparing to get in line and handle
their product through the Association.
In order to supply plants to those who
desire to plant berries in line with the
association plans, about 10000 of these
plants are offered for sale at cost at 81
per thousand. They can be secured
from C. M. Talmadge, of Silver Birch
Farm.

Elsewhere in this issue of THE MINER
is reproduced the essential parts of the
instructions delivered by Assessor Pur-
chase to his field deputies, and on which
they are expected to make their re-
turns. It will be noted that these in
structions, faithfully carried out, will
result in bringing about raise to 50
per cent of full valuation on all classes
of property throughout the county. The
timber cruises of all the big companies
of the county have been opened to the
inspection of the county assessor, and
their holdings will also be placed on a so
per cent basis.
It is not anticipated that an equitable
assessment of all classes of property
can ever be secured until a cruise can
be made, and in the meantime the field
deputies must be relied upon to do the
best work possible in their limited time.
When their work is completed compari-
sons of the results with those of the
year before can be made, and it will
then be discovered whether the proposed
increase to the so per cent basis has
has been effected in the various towns
and school districts. Such changes as
are necessary can then be made bH the
Board of Equalization. Until the work
is completed it will be difficult to say
whether any community or individual
has been dealt with unfairly.
