by Commissioner Wilson, who asked
him how he knew Morarity received
such instructions.
Because my foreman heard Nc
Gillicuddy tell him so and | believe
what he said,' was the reply.
rs this the same foreman, who
said the timber was no good, but
latter told of what fine logs he was
getting out of it, was what Wilson
said. and Reed said he had nc
knowledge of what Wilson referred I
to.
The Simpson Logging company pro-
tested against a valuation of $3.50 per
thousand in 2l-1, against a valuation
CT 50 per thousand on timber in 2l-S
using the argument that the timber
i'll the latter township was closer to
market and should be assessed high
er. They, asked for a reduction OF
$3.50 to 50 per thousand fee.
During the discussion over Town
ship 2l-1 the fraud exposures made
by the Aberdeen Herald were referred
to by Commissioners Hopkins and
Davis, with which they did not appear
to be any too we'll pleased. In fact,
it was plain throughout the day, that
the surmise of the Herald, that those
two members of the board were not in
sympathy with the county cruise, had
not missed the mark very far, and
that if the other classes of property
are to receive a square deal, they will
have to depend upon the other three
members of this equalization board.
1t is said here today, that Assessor
Jones will not file for reelection, and
that he will take a stand for uphold
ing his rolls, unless errors in the
timber cruise are proven by the
claimants. OF this be true, a mere
statement of timber company cruis-
er will not be accepted over the re-
port of the official cruiser of the cOun-
ty. But, unless Assessor Jones OF
Treasurer Paine take stand with
Commissioner Wilson, timber barOns
are likely TO have their way-as
usual
This morning large number of
notices were sent to owners of prop
erty in South Aberdeen, to appear
Tuesday and show cause why their
assessments should not be raised
above the valuation placed by Deputy
Assessor Stanley Smith.
Rudolph Distler made several COM
plants against the assessment Of the
Grays Harbor Commercial company,
among which was that their merchan-
disc stock was not all included in the
assessment.

MONTESANO, Aug. 7.-(Special)-
Declaring the timber cruise of Che
halls county to be excessive by more
than 1SS,000,000 feet over cruise
made by men in their employ, the
Mason County Logging Co. today ap-
peared before the county eQuali-
alton board and asked the board to
reduce the cruise to their figures.
The Logging company was repres-
ented by T. Bordeaux, it's president.
and Tom Fisk, he of steam roller
fame at the recent republican state
convention in Aberdeen.
The complaint filed with the board
asserted that the county cruise show
ed timber amounting TO 311,949,0O
feet OH property belonging to the Ma
son County logging company and that
cruisers sent out by the firm could
find but 1913, ,335 900 or difference OF
11S,614, 900 feet
The company holdings are located
in sections 2S, so, SO and "a in Ia
and section in 1914 The cruise
for the lumber company was made by
S. A. Graham.
In addition to the demand for a re-
duction in the valuation by the Ma
son County Logging company, the
Simpson Logging company, with
headquarters in Shelton, was repres
ented by its president, Mark Reed
who charged that Cruiser Morarity
had not made fair and impartial
cruise of the timber of his company
and entered protest against the as
sessment based on the. cruise made
by the county.
The case of the Simpson Logging
company was presented to the board
by Tom Fisk, each section being gone
over at time. While the work of
Cruisers McElfresh and Campbell
seemed to suit the firm, yet in every
instance. they presented their own
cruise to show that the work done
by Morarity, to be an excess.
An application for reduction of
certain section on the ground that
it was logged off land brought forth
some repartee, when Commissioner
Wilson asked Mr.. Reed why his COM
pany had not given in the land as
cut off, when the assessor visited him
March l.
81 promised to bring this down to
Mr. Jones, but when l came he was
busy and l have since neglected it,"
was the reply.
"But don't you see that the assessor
made up his total valuation on infor.
nation at hand and now you come and
say it was wrong"
This is not unusual" remarked
Commissioner Hopkins, taking stand
with Mr.. Reed.
Another time during the hearing,
Mr. Reed in making charges against
Cruiser Morarity, stated that the
cruiser had been given instructions
to cruise every dead stump and snag
on the property was called to account
