County Assessor Mady said the
county's loss in valuation would not be
sufficient to reduce it to a third-class
county. The valuation of next year
can be $4,000. 900 lower than this year
and still the county will retain Its
present rating, he said. There is a
prospect that valuations on some lines
Of property will be higher next year,
according to Mr.. Mady.
The tabulation Of valuation by
classes is as follows:
Mineral reservations and patented
mining claims: $500 acres. or 81
more acres than last year; valuation
500. 99S, or $34,51O more than last

class is due to the act that Northern
Pacific mineral reservation, assessed
at so cents an acre, heretofore as
sessed in another class, were changed
to class / this year.
Irrigated lands: 1896 acres, Of p
2S5 acres more than last year; valua-
ton S521. 545, or $293, TAT less than

due to the fact that 2,2S5 acres were
eliminated from the assessment TINS

preme court decision holding that
reclamation lands on which final Ger
tificate has not been issued cannot be
taxed.
