CUT VALUATION
ON PROPERTY
IN THE COUNTY
4O-Mill Limit anad Value Cut
Means Less Revenue; Big
Drop in Personal Property
is Indicated

Benton county is worth $780, TIT
less now than in 1892, according
to figures just compiled by the
county assessor. The 1888 total
valuation is set at $9,341,5 $40. The
last year figure was just over the
ten million dollar mark.
While the railroad valuations
have not been completed, their to-
tai is just about half the entire
amount. Mr.. Forsyth. estimates the
figures at $4,173,157 on real prop
erty and s428,1 1852 on personal
property belonging to the three
railroads in the county. He antici-
pates but few changes in these
figures.
Building improvements and the
property going back on the tax
rolls brought the property valua-
tions to 1882 200, compared with
$3,542, 920 in 1892. Real estate val
uations dropped 40 percent from
the 1881 valuations. Personal prop
erty valuations dropped 1910, 900.
The loss is accounted for in the
lower value of automobiles, fewer
livestock and the decrease in mer-
chandise in the stores of the
county. s
The lower valuations and the
40-mill limit will result in less
revenue for the county, Mr.. For
syth said. The county, however, is
in good financial condition and
warrants are being sought by res
idents, who six months ago refus-
ed to consider them as invest
ments.

help fight the second grass fire of
the month in Kennewick. This time
the frs ragged on Mob hill along
the south ditch bank. Famed
by stiff breeze, sparks crossed
the ditch ad set fire to barn be-
longing to Mrs. Schemlein. The
loss was estimated at about $3.50
and carried no insurance. A group
of relief workers was left guarding
the fire, but it was hard to get un-
der control and the fire truck went
back to finish the job.

GAME is
PROMISED TO
SPACE AREA
Game Commissioners Favor
Rearing Ponds in this ids
trict; Better Conditions in
Sight for Sportsmen

The smaller, less densely popu-
lated counties are going to be the
ultimate gamers under the new
set-up of the state game commits
sion, Chairman Tom Lally, told a
group of local sportsmen Tuesday
afternoon. Under the county con-
trolled system, the more densely
populated districts got the money
to spend while the smaller dis
tricts had to spend most of their
funds for police work instead of
preparation, he said.
In spite Of the wall being heard
from certain sections of the state,
within a year or so everyone will
be sold on the idea of the state
wide control, he predicted. The
reduction in the license fees is
limiting the scope of the commits
sion's plans, he said, but eventual
ly sportsmen will be better off
than ever was possible under the
old set-up.
The commission, which is tour
ing the state, stopped off in Ken
newick to interview local sports
men on their way to a meeting in
Yakima following a session in
Walla Walla. Special attention was
paid the demands of the local men
for the establishment of rearing
ponds somewhere in this area that
the millions of bass fry be saved
each year from destruction when
the flood waters recede.
Proper and adequate stocking of
field and streams in this area
were also on the commissions
they indicated at the
nesting with the local men, who
were present at the dinner served
at Piowman's. The countrywide
sportsmen's organizations were
by the commission
and local citizens feel that this
county will receive a recognition
from this department which has
never been possible in the past.

FOUR ROADS IN
COUNTY PLAN
OF RELIEF MEN
C Commissioners Endorse I'm
provement of West End
Highways; Want w. B.
Yakima Outlet and Pater-
son Oiling

Armed with the Endorsement of
the county commissioners and the
county work committee, road lead
ers in Benton county have made
application for public relief funds
to build four roads, A. G. Mcneil,
chairman of the Prosser Commun-
ity club road committee announced
at the Tuesday meeting according
to a report in the Yakima paper.
Included in the program is the
construction of the White Bluffs
Yakima road. Improving of the
Prosser-P Paterson route is project
No. / on the program, Mcneil ex-
planned. This road, he said, should
be classed as state project, as it
is the most direct route between
the valley and the North Bank
The route from Paterson to
Prosser is the only stretch be-
tween Denver and the Cascade
mountains that is not paved or
oiled, he said. Estimating the cost
at $4,000, the committee will re-
quest that the stretch be graded
and oiled.
The White Bluffs Yakima road
is project No. 2 on the program
and the cost is estimated at $780,
900. Other projects include build
ing of the Benton City Horn road
and q route from Kiona into the
Horse Heaven hills.
The county commissioners have
promised not to bond the county
to match state funds, Mcneil said,
and it is proposed that secondary
money allotted the coun-
ty be used to match state aid.

RISING PRICE
OF WHEAT is
BEN EFICIAL
Horse Heaven Growers Feel
Elated Over Yields and
Prices; Production Cost is
Lowered

Wheat growers of both Benton
and Franklin counties have just
reason for wearing a big smile
these days with wheat prices on
the steady upgrade, and prospects
for an ideal crop here.
H. r. Hechtner Of Strauss and
Co., at Pasco said yesterday that
wheat sales in this district had
been brisk since the beginning of
rising prices month ago, and add
ed that less than five percent of
last years crop was still being
held.
He declared prices on the ordin.
airy varieties had jumped 90 1-2
cents and was selling yesterday at
SO cents bushel, while the mill
ing and protein wheat had climbed
26 cents a bushel, and was selling
at II cents. The bulk Of the wheat
grown here is Of the protein mill
ing varieties.
Benton county has about forty
Thousand acres OF wheat lands, and
it IS expected the yield will aver
age approximately II bushels to
The acre, and in some sections the
average will be over 20. The neigh
boring county of Franklin has APP
proximately 1O0, 900 acre Of wheat
lands to produce this year, with an
average yield about the same as
in Benton county.
Hechtner said, grain buyers are
now offering contracts to growers
at 80 cents bushel, delivered to
the warehouse. which is considered
good price with the lowered cost
of wheat production.
HARVEST, activities in both Ben
ton and Franklin counties were
getting underway this week.

sermon in all Churches and So
cieties of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, Dec. IT.
The golden text will be from
John 1:l-3. I'm the beginning

with God, and the Word was
God. All things were made by
him and without him was not any
thing made that was made"
Among the citations which
comprised the lesSon-sermon was
the following from the Bible:
Thus saith the Lord. Keep ye
judgment, and do justice for my
salvation is near to come, and my
righteousness to be revealed
Isaiah SGD.
The lesson-Sermon also includes
the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook CSC
fence and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy :
"The finite must yield to the in
finite. Advancing to a higher
plane of action, thought rises
from the material sense to the
spiritual, from the scholastic to
the inspirational, and from the
mortal TO the immortal. All things
are created spiritually. Mind, not
matter, is the creator. Love, the
divine principle. is the father and
mother of the universe, including
man"-(p. 1861.
