NET INCREASE S29,S92
1913 Personal Property Valuation That
Much Higher Than 1912.

A net increase of $29,392 in the per-
sonal property assessment for Thur
ston county for 1913 over 1912 was
shown in the report sent to the state
tax commission this week by Assessor
J. c. Sans. The whole amount of
personal property in the county re-
ported to the commission was valued
at $2,501 1853, from which the county
board had allowed exemptions amount
ing to $651,950, so that the amount
upon which taxes will be actually paid
is $1,S49,903. The net amount last
year was $1,S19,Ol1.
Assessor Sans is now busy making
up his report on real estate valuations,
which he estimates will show an in
cerase of 100000 to $4,000 over the
1912 valuation, as finally fixed by the
board of equalization. A considerable
item in this increase is the valuation
of $4,000 already placed on that por-
tion of the Northern Pacifics Tenino
cutoff line which has been completed.

SAYS FARMER NEEDS
MORE COOPERATION
State Lecturer Urges More Uni.
form Effort, at Annual
Grange Picnic.

'Not until such time as we shall
who are interested in agriculture may
we look for betterment of condi.
tions," declared w. E. Powell of Tie.
ton, near North Yakima, lecturer of
the Washington State Grange, at the
annual picnic of the Thurston County
Pomona Grange at Priest Point park
last Wednesday.
The speaker, whose address was the
principal feature of the afternoon, en-
among the farmers and the elimina-
tion of what he called "the farmers
expense account"-the middle man.
He claimed that the farmers cooper
ative creameries and stores at Sunny
side were success and advocated a
wider scheme of cooperation among
the farmers than that now in vogue,
advancing the argument that the pro
ducer now gets but 35 per cent. of
what the customer pays. "Co-opera-
ton" was the keynote of his address.
The annual picnic, attended by some
$50 to 400 Changers, their families
and friends. was great success, the
weather being ideal and all the ar
rangements having been perfected in
such manner as to make the affair
highly enjoyable. Members of differ
ent Mason county Oranges Joined with
their Thurston county brothers and
sisters, at the latter's invitation.
Gathering at the park along about
noon, the Changers partook of a big
basket picnic dinner, after which a
fine program was heard. H. p. Briggs,
master of the Thurston County Pomo-
ma Grange, started the speaking with
a short address of welcome and then
introduced the state lecturer, Mr.. Pow
ell, whose talk was listened to in
tently.
At different intervals throughout the
program music and songs were fur
nished by Mr.. and Mrs. Calvin G..
Thomson, coon" melody being es-
pecially enjoyed. Miss Sherwood, dep
uty state superintendent of instruc-
ton, closed the speaking with greet
ings from her department, devoting
most of, her talk to the boys and girls
agricultural and industrial contests
The balance of the afternoon was
spent by the Changers in various ways
dinate Grange in the county making
it point to see that everybody got
acquainted Departing, the picnickers
expressed themselves as having highly
enjoyed the 1918 affair.

Totals 1855 mills 1885 mills
Thse levies are based on the same
property valuation as last year, mas
much as the county board of equaliza-
tion has not completed It's work and
therefore is unable to report the 1914
valuation for taxation purposes.
This year approximately $11,144 was
raised to apply on the old warrant in
debtedness upon which the city is pay
ing $50 per cent. interest. The coun-
ellis proposed levy of 1.65 mills, a cut
of 1855 mills in this item. will bring
but $5,352 for this purpose In 1914,
Mr.. Holmes says, an actual reduction
of more than $5,792.
"The city Is liable to be enjoined
most any time on this budget" Mr..
Holmes says" for any holder of those
old warrants can do 1t. Furthermore
he can compel the city to levy the full
amount of 81 mills the law permits
and require the city to set aside the
revenue from mills of that amount
to apply on these warrants. He can
also compel the city to apply the esti-
mated receipts of $4,000 from other
sources than taxation on these war
rants"
A levy of mills, according to Mr..
Holmes, would yield about $19,5O4, so
that holder of any of these warrants
could compel the city to pay $37,5OO
on them in 1914, instead of the $1,000
paid this year, and put quite a crimp
in the city's financial condition by so
doing. In view of this fact, the ques-
ton that 1t worrying the city officials
is whether reduction such as Is pro-
posed in this item would be good bus
mess policy, inasmuch as the indebt-
edness has to be paid some time and
the less paid now, the more that VIII
have to be paid later.
The levy as proposed by the mayor
for 1914 was 1855 mills, an item OF
$l0,225 being carried In 1t for the pay
ment of the warrant indebtedness,
which would have been only slight
reduction under this years payment
In apportioning the funds according
to the city's fixed expenses, however
the council was unable to distribute
them as they had been apportioned by
the mayor and the item Of payments
on warrant indebtedness was the one
that was pruned.
A little more than month remains
for the consideration of the budget. AS
last year, 1t is probable the Chamber
OF Commerce budget committee will
take 1t up and consider It,

CANNERY BUILDING
A NEW WAREHOUSE
60x90- Foot Addition Will Make
Local Plant Second Largest
in the State.

Construction of the framework OF
the new 6Ox9O, addition to the National
Canning company's plant on the water
front, to provide additional warehouse
room which will make this cannery
the second largest in the state, was
begun this week The completed build
ing will extend east to Main street
foundations for it having been laid
last week.
1--WE have had to build this addition,
al warehouse because of the slowness
Of the market and the difficulty we
have had in disposing of our pack -
explained Manager Mark Ewald. The
addition, which is being built on the
east end of the present structure, will
make the whole building 6Ox24O feet
and will give the cannery warehouse
capacity of 10000 cases, twice the pres
ent capacity.
The cannery is now busily engaged
in packing the string bean crop, which
though the crop was damaged to some
extent by the hot weather of the lat
ter part of the growing season, will be
one of the largest packs" at the can
merry this year. The first pickings OF
plums, prunes and pears began to ar
rive this week but not in sufficient
quantities to indicate the Wality OF
extent of the crop.
