MILL VALUES
ARE INCREASED
Assessed Values of Timber
Products Show Large Gain
Over Last Year
INCREASE NEARLY $500. 900
Assessor Wiley Has Lumber
and Logs Tailed, With
Expected Result

MONTESANO, July IL. Especially
Assessor Robert A. Willy has COM
pleted the assessment sheets of the
mills and other wood working plants
in Chehalis county and according to
information given out today, the in
crease on personal property is ap-
proximately s79764O. The total per-
sonal PROPERTY assessment for the
year is $1,671,O13 against sS73,373
last year
The great increase is due to the
fact that Assessor Wiley tailed the
mills of the county, securing the lum.
Der in the yards, which has hereto
fore practically escaped taxation and
also his personal tally of the logs in
the booms and RATS in the harbor
The assessor found 10S,697,5 500 feet
of lumber which is valued for taxa
tion purposes this year at $473,557,
while last year, the mills turned in
72,424,550 feet valued at $219,4S0
The saw logs in the mill booms last
year were put in at 1O,925,515 and
valued at $36,77O, while this year
the logs totalled 27,S9S,5OO feet and
were valued at s113,557.
Shingles last year were assessed at
$22,735 for 25,3o1.315, against $4,000,
for a total of T5.55S,S51 this year.
The valuation of machinery in the
mills was increased over last year
from $507,545 to $967,933.
An arbitrary assessment was made
against the Hoquiam Lumber & Shin
gle company and the Northwestern
Lumber company OF Hoquiam, the
managers of these concerns refusing
to give the assessor any information
until late in the month of June, too
late for use in making up the assess
ment roll.
Speaking of the assessment, AS
SCISSOR Wiley said:
81 found number of the mill men,
willing to give me the necessary in
formation, with great desire to play
absolutely fair with the people of Che
halls county in the matter of taxation,
and from these firms, l received the
fairest treatment. They were the
Grays Harbor Lumber Co., Coats
Shingle Co., Eureka Cedar Lumber &
Shingle Co., Ideal Door Co., of Ho-
quiam; Wilson Bros. Lumber Co.; s.
E. Slade Lumber Co.; Grays Harbor
Shingle Co.; General Package Man.
ufacturing Co.; American Mill Co.; A.
]. West Lumber Co., of Aberdeen.
"The remaining plants turned in
lists so ridiculously low that they
were not considered by my deputy,
who placed figures on the plants, aft.
er securing the best information from
reliable sources that he could.
"There developed during the work,
an opposition from a certain quarter,
which retarded our work materially
relative to the so-called large plants.
The smaller mills in the east end of
the county willingly turned in the in
formation desired with one excep-
tion.
There are number Of matters,
which I did not feel competent to in
crease, but I shall ask the board of
equalization to assist me in increas-
ing the value of the mill buildings,
which are now on the books at very
low figure.
"The above figures do not show the
increase to be very large, but after
the equalization board meets in
August, shall have a number of i'm
portant recommendations to make to
them"

OIL ON Hob RIVER
IS CERTAINTY
Aberdeen Party Returns from
Trip on Hob River Fully
Convinced of Oil

III had any doubts about there
being oil in the Hob river country"
said A. H. Griffin. who returned yes
terday with l.. II. Burnett. Engineer
A. w. Lane and others. who left for
that locality last Saturday. "they have
certainly been dissipated. IL believe. ''
said Mr.. Griffin. that the men behind
the jefferson Oil company are giving
the people square deal on the pro.
position. and IL oil Is not found In
large quantities. II will be because the
Out-croppings and indications so far
may prove misleading. The Jefferson
Oil company is building road to the
oil section, they have the machinery
on hand and they are spending money
doing what they have agreed to. In
the we'll that is down something over
20 feet and the land drips with the
oil and oil is evidenced all about the
district.
Expressing his confidence also in
the oil field and its promising future,
l.. II. Burnett. who said the trip was
one of the hardest imaginable. states
that everything points to oil in paying
quantities and he feels assured that
the Jefferson Oil company has told
the exact truth about everything and
that they will give the squarest deal
to the people that any company ever
gave.
Trip Made With Horses
The party took horses over the trail
from the Indian agency beyond Mo
clips. On account of the rain the trip
was very disagreeable. Taking the
horses over the Raft river suspension
bridge was one of the difficult prob
lens of the journey. Mr.. Griffin says
that if oil is discovered the race to
the Klondyke will pale into insight
ficance for the reason that men OF
money all over the State OF Washing
ton and in California have been
waiting for probable results. Oil City
he says, is the name of new settle.
ment started near the oil lands.
