ROundtree FOrfeits 500 Bail.

Fire Warden H. Roundtree. of the
Bald Hills district, failed to appear
in Justice Crosby's court Tuesday to
stand trial on a charge of having VEN
isOn in his possession out of season,
and forfeited 500 bail. His arrest
followed the arrest of four Tacoma
men by the Pierce county game war
den near McKenna last Thursday,
when several packages of venison,
neatly wrapped and addressed to Ia
coma people, were found. The Pierce
county official notified Game Warden
James Fennell, who went to the Bald
Hills and found some venison in
Roundtree's possession. The four
Tacoma men exonerated Roundtree
and put up his bail. Two deer had
apparently been killed.

SAME NEXT YEAR
DEPARTMENTS ASK FOR MORE
MONEY-MAYOR PROPOSES
REDUCTIONS.

Total increase of about IL per cent
over the allowances for the current
year is asked for by the different city
departments in the estimates SUBJ
mitted to the city council Tuesday
night. The increases are desired by
the police and fire departments and
the city engineer, the amounts asked
by the other departments being the
same as for this year, except the
legal, which is $3.50 less.
Work of preparing the budget for
the coming year was started by the
council Tuesday night, and it is ex-
pected that before that body gets
through, all of the increases will be
denied. The budget for the current
year allows $4,000 to the various
city departments, while the estimates
for next year total nearly $4,000
more.
Mayor Cuts Items.
In contrast with these estimates,
Mayor Mottman submitted to the
council at the same meeting budget
which shows reduction of approxi-
mately $500 under the allowances
upon which the departments have
been operating this year, decrease
he says is necessary because of the
reductions in the city's assessed val
nation. 1t will not have the effect Of
reducing the tax levy, however.
In this budget there is no provision
for elections, as none will be held
next year, the library fund is cut
from $3.50 to $1,000, and the allow

Present prospects are that the mu-
nicipal levy for next year will be 20M
mills, the same as this year, IL mills
for current expenses, 6 mills to repay
and 2h mills for inter-
est. The appropriations as proposed
by Mayor Mottman for the clerks Of
fee, health department, municipal
dock, city park, and police judge will
be the same as last year; the city
treasurer will be allowed $25 more
and the fire department $40 more.
and the following reductions will be
made:
Attorney, from $3.50 to $1,700;
engineer, from $4,000 to $4,000;
street from $11,400 to $10,690;
from $3.50 to $1,000; hall
from $2,44O to $4,000; incidentals
from $4,000 to $1,417; jail from
$4,13O to $500. 1t is estimated
that the street lighting next year will
cost about 5000 more than this year.

SNOW DISCUSSES
FARM AGENT PLAN
DECLARES IMPROVEMENT OF
MARKETING CONDITIONS TO
BE CHIEF AIM.
Editor Washington Standard:

Editor Washington Standard:
Since reading the article in your
valuable paper dated August II re-
garding the county agent, written by
Sister A. E. Sheldon of Brighton
Park Grange, l can plainly see there
is great misunderstanding by her
and probably most of the opposition
to the county agent plan, and l am
glad she has brought out the thohght
she has in this last issue, and l beg
at this time to make an explanation
which l am sure will meet with the
approval of Sister Sheldon and all
farmers of our county.
am willing to admit at this time
that especially Thurston county has
an over-production in all lines except
hay and grain. We are consumers,
or at least most of us are. taking the
last dollar from our pockets and
turning it over to our dealers for
such products, and by so doing it is
hard for us to even pay our taxes, to
say nothing of trying to provide the
necessities or any of the luxuries of
life. Therefore here in our county
farming has become drudgery.
We have too many grade cows in
our county-cows which are not pro-
ducing profit to the owner. We
have too many grade sires-I dare
say that at least five-sixths of the
sires of Thurston county have lost
practically the last drop of good pro-
ducing blood that ever flowed within
their veins. They are simply sires.
The Cow Testing Association is plain
ly bringing out this fact to me. These
sires have been picked up by the road
side. They are fit neither for the
dairy nor the butcher. When you go
to sell one of them for beef, the
butcher tells you they are all horns,
head and bones.
The Cow Testing Association has
brought out the fact that only a few
cows have reached the 4O-pound
mark, out of more than 500 that are
being tested monthly. and this at the
best time of the year. You do not
hear much complaint from f. Mum,
a man who has built up his herd until
1t ranks No. l in our county as a
herd.
We are over-producing in the po-
the small potatoes that are grown,
but we are not over-producing in
good, marketable potatoes. And so
on in all lines. We are growing too

THURSTON COUNTY
HAS MORE CATTLE
MORE SHEEP, TOO, AND MORE
AUTOS, But FEWER HOGS
MANY ITEMS LESS.

Thurston county has 1,172 more
stock cattle and 18 more milch cows
this year than it had last, just about
an equal number of horses, and some
$50 more sheep, but it has 500 less
hogs, according to the assessment
rolls in the Office of County Assessor
IL. G. Sans.
Increases are shown in a number
of other personal property items,
such as manufacturers materials and
manufactured articles, which are list
ed at about $4,000 more than last
year, and automobiles, which in
creased in number from 4O1 to 566
and in assessed valuation nearly
$4,000. And by the way the as
sessed valuation of automobiles in
Thurston county totals $1O6,84O,
which on a so per cent basis means
that the residents of Thurston have
more than $4,000 invested in
autos.
The item of household property
shows an increase in assessed valua-
|tion Of $4,000. There is drop of
about $3.50 in farm machinery
though this is almost Offset by an in
crease in the valuation Of threshing
machines, hay presses, donkey en-
gines and the like. The steamboats,
owned in the county were assessed
for $4,000 less, and the stocks of
shrunk to about half what they were
in 1915.
The stocks of goods in the various
mercantile stores of the county were
assessed at $4,000 less; the liquor
stocks and bar fixtures of the saloons
in Olympia, Tumwater, Tenino and
Bucoda which went out of business
the first of the year were responsible
for the loss of $4,000 more in per-
sonal property assessments, while
the closing of the brewery and the
disposal of the beer stock chopped off
another $4,000.
$4,000 Loss ON WaterwOrks.
These items. Mr.. Sans points out,
account for $4,000 Of the total of
approximately 100000 decrease in
personal property valuations in the
county under the 1915 assessment.
The largest loss of all. however. and
almost equal to the total Of these
three items, is the assessment of the
waterworks recently taken over by
the city, which previously had been
valued at $4,000 on the county's tax
rolls but which is now free from tax
alton.
The county board Of equalization,
composed of Commissioners Little
John, Dodge and Rowe, Treasurer
Stocking and Assessor Sans, is now
going over the assessment rolls for
this year and hearing complaints of
taxpayers Only unimportant changes
have been presented to the board so
far.
