grazing lands are better and more ex- tensiyely used than in this district, the average per acre was S1.5O. In the minds of many of the local men the assessment of the lands used for cattle feeding in the north and in the south should have been equaliz6d. However according 10 reports. the tax commission considered that in this part of the state the assessments should be higher, due to the number of cattle fed On ranges of the lower part of the state as compared with the number on the ranges in the north.
 As compered with the remainder of the state in assessment Cochise coun- ty is by far the lowest In only a few of the counties or this state does the assessment On the hundred dollars drop below one dollar In Maricopa county, the next county to this in val uation, the assessment is in the neigh borhood Of six cents higher than in Cochise. In Gila county the assess ment comes near that of this county. and citizens of that county win pay only ninety-siX On the hundred dollars.
 The rate for this county was based
 as follows IT for schools. 225 for general funds 10 for roads, which
 with the state tax rate of .445 makes
 the total for the county of .g4 for this year. This low rate reflects great credit on the present board of super. visors, moi alone in the manner in
 which they have managed the affairs Of the county continually reducing the taxation with expenses. making this one Of the least expensive coun. ties of the state and at the same time the best governed county of the state. The tax rate of Cochise county has been reduced gradually during the past four years In 1910 the rate was S255 per hundred, in 1911 S275: in lsl2$2.35; in 1913. SlO5 and in 1914. S94 During that time the board has disposed of a floating indebtedness of over $2+0O0O. In 1910 that indebted ness was S24OO24: in 1911. S192 487. 83. in 1912, $195,235.87 and in 1913 it was ehuIely paid orr SO at the pres ent time the county is strictly on a cash basis as far as a floating indebt. edness is concerned.
 The assessed valuation of the coun- ty has increased during that time con siderable but the increase in the val nation has not been the means Of in- creasing the taxes of any of the small taxpayers but was mainly on the rail- roads and mine assessments.
 The schools of Cochise county have
 been the largest increase in expense during the past four years and have
 increased from &l29,69A56 in 1910 to
 $229.53L02 last year, an increase of nearly $lOOO0O while the estimated expense for the coming year has been
 placed at &266. .42956.

HOP BUYERS ARE BUSY.
Assist in Organization of County As.
sociation in Polk.

A meeting of hopgrowers was held
at Independence on Tuesday, when
Louis Lachmund, Frank Durbin, Joe
Harris, James Linn, George Lewis,
George Roseo, John Roberts, D. P.
MacCarthy, Julius Pincus, Harry Tai
bot and O. 0. Mcclellan, hop buy
ers, were present to make the necess-
ary arrangements for a permanent
organization. Among the prominent
growers present were W. w. PEREZ
val, C. A. Mclaughlin, S. B. Walker,
Frank Laws and Miles Porterfeld.
1t was decided to hold a meeting
Saturday afternoon in the Isis Thea
ter, where permanent organization
would take place, and a committee
was appointed to invite each hop
grower in this territory.
The purpose Of the association is
to carry on a campaign of education
in this state, in order to teach the
citizens and taxpayers the value of
the hop industry to the state and
show them the damage that would
accrue should the state go dry at the
next election. The value of the last
hop crop was about $6,OOO,O0O and
it is predicted that should the state
go dry, there would be trouble in
finding a good market for the crop.

COUNTIES GET SHARE
GOVERNOR SAYS ROAD FUNDS
NOT LIMITED TO FEW.
Commission Does Not Intend to Aid
Only Those Voting Bonds for
improvements.

Recently The Observer stated that
only those counties issuing bonds
would receive aid from the state high
way fund, its statement being based
on Salem dispatch to that effect
Governor West now makes the state
ment that the Highway Commission
had not declared its intention of Civ
ing state air only to counties issaing
bonds, but that all counties contrib
uting to the highway fund were en-
titled to share in its benefits. The
Governor says:
"The Highway Commission has not
declared its intention of giving state
aid to counties issuing bonds. All
counties contributing to the highway
funds are entitled to share in its ben
efits. Counties have right to build
roads without bonds if they see fit
1t is the Commission S desire, how
ever, to put the limited amount of
money at its disposal into roads at
an early date, and to this end it de-
sires to build through cooperation in
several of the counties demonstration
roads. 1t is not likely, however, that
many counties other than those that
have issued bonds and thus have
funds on hand will be able to COOP
crate with the state just at this time.
In time both the state and other
counties will have additional funds
and further cooperation will be pos
sible.
"The state is constructing
stretch of road in Sherman county
and has declared its willingness to
cooperate with Washington county
in the construction of a permanent
section of the Rex-Tigardville road.
Neither of these counties have issued
bonds. The bonded counties which
have funds on hand and are in po-
sition to cooperate at this time are
Jackson, Clatsop and Columbia.

benefit his health. His condition,
however, grew worse rapidly and his
wife brought him home a week ago.
Mr.. Pettyjohn, son of Albert Petty
john, of Marion county, was born in
Polk county, 35 years ago. He is

THE CLASSIFIED "AD."


In learning to utilize Class
flied Advertising, you take a
"six-league" stride toward
; success! There are still some
; people living in Dallas and
Polk county who have not
learned to use The Observers
classified advertising columns.
They know that there are
"such things as "want ads, :"
and probably assume that
= some people must find them
useful. But, for some reason
or other, they have not put
these "ads" to the test of
usefulness to themselves.
These same people have
"caught up" with events in
many other directions. They
utilize the telephone, the tele-
graph, gas, electric light, the
street cars. They adopt mod
ern conveniences for house
keeping. They utilize time
and labor-saving appliances in
business.
But, having a task for a
classified advertisement to do,
they try to find some other
way to accomplish it. If it is
a renting task, they depend
upon a placard. If it is a
property selling task, they
put up a "For Sale sign.''
If it is a position-finding task,
they rely upon personal
friends to help them. If they
have furnished rooms to rent,
they place an advertisement in
the window or over the door
bell.
When these people make
their first successful use of
want advertising, they acquire
a new optimism. Irksome
tasks become mere business
matters. New possibilities
without number open to them.
They learn to utilize the "Six-
League Boots" of publicity
when occasion requires-and
every little daily problem be-
comes manageable. The OBJ
server is published Tuesdays
and Fridays, and gives re-
suits. 1t has been proven.

The Observer Is Expanding.

The Observer now has more room
in which to spread itself. Mr.. J.
C. Hayter, owner of the building it
occupies on Court street, this week
caused an addition thereto to be
built which will afford opportunity
for expansion. The Observer has en-
route considerable amount of new
material, including some of the lat
est type faces, and the room was
needed to properly house it.

Give Road Two Coats.

Alderman Hayter, believing that
two coats of road oil upon city streets
will materially. improve their wearing
surface and make good roads late in

prove his theory. A considerable piece
of road abutting the respective prop
critics of DR.. Hayter and U. S. Grant
was last week doubly oiled, they
bearing the expense jointly.
