THE VALUE AND
SELLING PRICE
Misleading Prices from Coun-
ty Seat Concerning Taxa
ton Values
TO CREATE SENTIMENT
Price Named in Deeds Are
Rarely the Actual Consid-
Grafton for Property

The Sentiment Factory of the Tax
Dodgers is again in active operation
at the county seat. as will be seen
by the following dispatch. under a
Montesano date line of Nov. 1S, to
the Hoquiam Washingtonian: ~
among the deeds filed yester-
day was one from the White Star
Lumber company to John George
Koch and others of fractional
section in township H. range 5.
1t has something over coo acres
and sold for $6OOO
This is another case of cor
poration timber not having been
taxed for less than it should
have been. The taxable value
of the section as listed on the
tax rolls is $4,000. whereas if it
had been taxed at 40 cent of it's
actual value as shown by the
sale it would have been listed
at s24OO.
"Since the board of equaliza-
tion met there has not been
sale of timber lands that has not
shown on it's face that it was not
overvalued rather than under
valued"
The aim Of this sort of news (?)
becomes plain when the assessment
rolls are examined for the facts. The
rolls show this land to be assessed
at a valuation of $2,460. instead OF
s4,300 which at 40 per cent valua-
ton would place the actual value at
6,150. or within $3.50 of the alleged
selling price.
The object is again revealed when
The land is examined. Instead of be-
ing Corporation timber" the tract
in question is logged-off lands, and
the concern selling it is one of the
very few holders of large tracts Of
ouCu iouuo lhot 10 WlllAh6 W oCii a.
a reasonable price to settlers. The
writer Of the above dispatch must
have an abiding faith in the utter
ignorance Of his readers when he ex-
poets them to believe that timber
are selling timbered
lands at SO an acre.
The comparison of actual values
with the considerations named in
deeds is obviously unfair. as the deed
filed for record which names the ac-
tual selling price is rarity. The en-
tire story has every mark of an at
tempt to discredit county officials who
appear old fashioned enough to be-
lieve they owe the performance of
their duties to the whole people-not
q favored few.

EVERETT, Nov. 2O.-The first con-

under the state provision against mis-
representation in advertising goods for
sale has been secured by the Everett
Commercial club.
I. Blumenthal, merchant, was found
guilty before Judge Shelter and fined
$50. The conviction hung largely on
the fact that the Commercial club pur-
chased a fountain pen that had not

having belonged to another dealer.

DREDGING CO.
MAKES DEMAND
Small Prospect Now Of Set
Ting the Fill Dispute With
out Litigation
CITY COUNCIL DOINCS
Reorganization Of Fire De-
partment. Chehalis River
Bridge Expensive

The controversy between the city
council and the Tacoma Dredging Co.
over the First District FILL took on q
new phase Wednesday night, when
the Co. made demand for $3S,1S5, in
stead of the amount supposed to be
withheld by the city, which is, accord
ing to the estimate OF the engineer,
S1O.1S5.14. The demand, which was
made through Attorneys Bridges &
Bruener. claims $27,500 for excess
earth alleged to have been placed in
the fill, $2SS37 for filling the street
car tracks and $3.50 for removing saw
dust from Hume street.
The new demand appeared to dumb
found the council, as heretofore the
company has only been asking the
amount due according to the engi-
neers figures. The matter was re-
ferred to the city attorney and En-
gineer Kelsey.
The Chehalis River Bridge
A bill for $211, from the Oregon
Washington r. & N. Co., for the city's
share of the operating expense of the
Chehalis river bridge was held up for
investigation. The council believes
the city is paying more than it agreed
to for the foot path on the railroad
bridge. and the cost is assuming large
proportions. Under the ordinance the
city was to pay one-half the operating
exrenses and the council seems to
think part Of the maintenance cost
was being charged up.
An attempt to have the extra cost
incurred in the improvement OF South
X street charged to the general fund
failed. Councilman Morck and E. G.
Hunt, representing property owners
on the street, argued that the expense
was one for the benefit of the general
public in getting to the railroad sta
ton. A motion to make 1t payable
from the general fund was lost.
c. w. Miller appeared and com
panied that 100 feet of perfectly good
sidewalk was missing from his prop
erty in Fill District No. l, and asked
that it be replaced. It was referred
to the committee on streets.
Fire Chief Tamblyn reported on tha
proposed reorganization of the depart
ment, upon the arrival of the new auto
truck, which will be about the first
of the year. Under the new organi-
zation the force will be reduced by
five men, and all the horses will be
dispensed with and the sa'"ries OF
two men will be reduced from $S5 to
$50 month
Brecht introduced an ordinance
amending the peddling law, which
was referred until next week. The
ordinance is aimed at sewing machine
agents in particular, among whom
there is merry little war going ON
Just now on Grays Harbor.

FIRE BUGS IN ocosTA
Three incendiary Fires Destroy Five
Large Buildings Last Week.
No Clue to Bugs

Three incendiary fires that have

the greater portion of the population
