sess at as high a rate, or as nearly
at its true cash value as the state
tax commissioners had assessed the
public utilities corporations.
Ratio of Assessed Value to Real
Value.
After the transfers are all listed
and the true consideration determ-
ined by the best available source, in
cluding inquiry of both the grantor
and grantee, the tax commissioners
VIII require the assessor to copy his
assessment to the several tracts, and
by comparison of his assessment
and the consideration in the deed
or that determined by Mr.. Miller in
this county, the state board of equal
ization will arrive at the ratio which
the assessed valuation bears to the
real value.
Upon this ratio depends the
amount Of public utilities assessment
distributed to each of the several
counties by the state tax commission
ers. Iffhelr findings show that the
county assessor has assessed prop
erty at its full cash value the public
utilities assessment will be returned
to the county in the full amount as
sessed by the commission, but II the
county assessor has placed his values
at but one-half Of the actual valua-
tion, according to their finding. the
county will nave but one-half OF the
assessment of the public utilities

GRAPE GROWERS
FORM ORGANIZATION

Enthusiastic grape growers from
Grants Pass, Hells Gate, Jones creek,
Murphy and Fruitdale gathered at
the Grange hall in Fruitdale at noon
Saturday for a discussion of grape
culture, organization and the mar
ket problem.
The promised college grape spec
iallst failed to materalize, but most
practical discussion was heard by
one of the largest and most success
ful exponents OF the industry, A. II.
Carson of Murphy, who gave freely
of his rich store OF experience which
has brought a large measure of sue
cess for his endeavors, and numer-
GUS questions we're asked and ans
wered, bringing out the discussion
of grape culture grape diseases and
profitable marketing.
Mr. Carson, who can be said to be
a grape expert, declares that the ter
ritory suited to grape raising on the
coast is extremely limited, Josephine
and Jackson counties having the
monopoly OF the soil and climatic
conditions necessary. Tokay rails
Ing In California is fast being aban-
doned as the low, fiat, black soil
which produces a grape with a high
percentage Of sugar but lacks a quail
ity which makes their product a good
keeper; that they are obliged to ship
In refrigerated cars, and that their
packs do not stand up" we'll He
declares he has repeatedly shipped
grapes to the Atlantic coast in hot
weather by express and the grapes
were reported in perfect condition
after eight days or longer He
claims that this immediate locality
will soon have practical monopoly

ASSESSMENT VALUES TO
BE PROBED BY STATE.

State Tax Commissioners j. B. Eat
on, when in Grants Pass a few days
ago, arranged with Attorney w. T.
Miller to make a list of all the war
ranty deeds placed on record in the
county clerks office between March
l, 1912, and March /, 1913. This
list has just been completed by Ella
Harper, and consists of more than
five hundred transfers, and will re-
quire much inquiry to determine
whether the consideration named In
the deed is the true consideration
and II 1t is not, what the actual con-
sideration, or purchase price, is. AS
the transfers are scattered all over
the county Mr.. Miller will be busy
for some time gathering the re-
quired data.
Assessment at Cash Valuation.
The list will be used for several
purposes, one OF which is to keep
tab on the county assessor to determ-
Inc whether he is complying with the
law requiring full cash valuation In
the assessment. The tax commission
ers are having the same work done
in each Of the several counties OF
the state, having found such a course
necessary owing to the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Co. having sent its
representatives last year into each
Of the counties through which its
lines pass, and having prepared such
lists, and in some cases, though, not
in ALL they went out into the country
just as the commissioners are doing
this year, and learned by personal
inquiry what lands actually sold for.
The contention Of the railroad COM
pany before the state board OF
equalization being that the county
assessors had not assessed the prom
erty which they are privileged to as

Mines, who spent Tuesday in the
city in conference with mining men,
and looking after details of the work
that is being done here this summer
in the way of making a survey OF the
mineral districts OF the state. Mr..
Lawrie spent some months in the dis
trict when the old Greenback mine
was in operation, and is familiar with
It's naturalization.
The party that has been in the
southern Oregon field by the bureau
is now working in Josephine county.
having completed its Investigations
in Jackson. This party is headed
by DR.. Alex Winchell, of the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin, with him being
Louis E. Reber of the same institu-
ton, and G, B. Watson of Ashland.
This party will remain here the rest
of the summer and will make an ex-
haustive reconnaissance OF the ore
bodies and of the county as we'll as
of the geological formation with ref
erence to its bearing upon mineral
lied rock. The results of the inves-
tlgation will be published early next
spring, or as soon as the data can be
worked out, for distribution through
the proper channels. The party first
Investigated the Granite Hill dis
trict, and will next go to the Waldo
country.
Other parties under the direction
of competent biologists are working
in the other districts Of the state, and
there will be made available thor
ough report on all the mineral de.
posits of the state by districts. Prof.
Solon Shedd of the State College of
Washington, one of the best inform
ed geologists of the west, is In charge
OF party under the direction OF the
bureau, and will produce a relief
map of the state, Shedd being of ma
tlonal repute in this class of work.
A map of this nature will be valu-
able in many directions other than
its bearing upon the mineralogy OF
the state, and II will have especial
value in the laying out OF good roads
systems.

Mr.. McKinstry's Remarks.

The inception Of the present effort
of the people to get the road to the
coast was told by Mr. McKinstry,
who had been identified with the Pa
cific-Interior board through which
the first work was done. At that
time the citizens had subscribed more
than one-third as much as was now
asked, the first subscription being
practically on a cash basis, whereas
the present subscription is not due
or payable till the road is built
through to the coast. Only some ST.
500 was ever called on the Pacific
Interior subscription, this being
used in the first payments on the
right-of-way and to be returned from
the sale of the bonds Mr.. McKin-
stry was especially optimistic over
the benefits to come from the coast
road, and made a strong plea for i'm
mediate and final action.
Committees Of business men have
been appointed, and the citizens will
be solicited at once, It being expect
ed that with the sentiment as
friendly and as unanimous as 1t is
that only few days will be required
to complete the Grants Pass end Of
the work. when II will be up to the
builders 70 take definite action to
ward the construction of Me road

oPei aliou ana OF the interest OF the
public The Judge said that during
the past few weeks he had given his
entire time outside of court sessions
OF the raising of the bonus that had
been demanded of the coast terminal,
and that when he left home Sunday
to come TO Grants Pass that he had
raised total OF s2O1.75O, and that
the balance Of the $3.50, 900 was in
sight. The Judge said that n did not
matter what these people wanted of
the bonus, or what they would do
with II when they got it, that the
people were getting all and more
than they were paying for, and we're
giving but small part of the finan-
cial benefit that would come to them
from the road.
Bond Issue an Investment.
DR.. Reddy told of the difference
between the municipal bond issue
and the bonus. The former, he said,
was simply an investment, to be re-
turned to the city with interest The
latter also was an investment, it's di-
vidends due in the form of reduced
freight rates for all time to come.
This community, he said, was paying
out annually $150,00O more than it
was taking in, the Southern Pacific
freight rate gouge making 1t impos-
sible for the producer to make pro-
gress, the new road and connection
with the coast being necessary to re-
lease the district from its bondage
to the s. p company.
Following DR.. Reddy, the quartette
composed Of the Parker sisters, Mrs.
Ireland, Mrs. Veatch and the Misses
Parker, sung Miss Doerner's origin
al song, Building Through the Val
ley" and the audience Joined In the
joyful chorus.
Mayor Smith Speaks.
Mayor Robert G. Smith said that
If the Hill people or any of the other
great builders were to come in and
offer to construct another inland line
through Grants Pass that the people
would tumble over themselves to
raise bonus of almost any amount,
when as matter of fact another in
land line would not have the hun
dredth part of the benefit for the
valley that this line to the coast
would have. He decried the benefits
of stub road to the Illinois valley,
and could see only the most meagre
help to the community from such
line as the S. P. had proposed build
ing to the Kerby district. The de-
velopment of the copper fields, said
the mayor, depended upon the con-
struction of this road through to the
coast, whereas a stub road would
prove of small assistance in the de-
velopment of the mining industry.
Build this line to the coast" said
the mayor, "and the population of
Grants Pass will double and treble
within five years" He explained
again that the expenditure of the
amount to be derived from the bond
sale of the city owned portion of the
road, the first unit, was being safely
guarded in every way for the city's
interests, and that the time had now
arrived for the people to respond to
the call that was being made. When
he asked that all who were ready to
do their part in the raising Of the
bonus rise to their feet, few in the
house failed to respond on the in
slant.
