MWAK VALUES
IN THIS COUNTY
SET AT MILLIONS
County Assessor Establishes 49,
100000 Blanket Assess
ment Figure
'$l25,OO0 Too Low
Was Total Valuation Submitted
By Dam Builders, Assessor
Revealed

The Mason Walsh Atkinson Kie1
company, general contractors of the
Grand Coulee dam and owners of
Mason City, were informed last
week by John F. Thorp, county
assessor, thai a blanket assessment
OF 100000 had been placed by his
office on the equipment, houses and
other property owned by the COM
pany on the Okanogan county side
of the dam.
Mr.. Thorp revealed to the Tri-
bune that this assessment valuation,
which Is SO per cent of the total
valuation estimate set by his office,
had been decided upon after he had
received list of equipment and
housing values from the MWAK
which established the total valua-
ton at only $125, 900.
Says Values Too Low
Mr.. Thorp declared that figures
ofequipment costs filed in the coun-
tyt auditors office by the company
indicated that many of the valua-
tons set by the firm are but a frac-
ton of the actual values.
Further indication that the COM
pany had depressed values for
assessment purposes, he said, was
given in the rental charges made for
cottages in Mason
City.
Under the provisions of the con-
tract let by the federal government
the maximum rental charge for
cottages furnished by the company
to it's employees is per cent of
the capital cost per month, Mr..
Thorp stated. However, the firm is
charging rentals of $40 per week
for it's Groom houses, and $8.75 for
it's 4-room houses.
In the list of valuations the
MWAK furnished Mr.. Thorp, 127
Type-B, or 3-room houses, were
valued at $2O,587.9O, or $162 each.
Figuring per cent for rent each
month, this would put the rental
rate at 1924 per month, instead of
he $40 per week being charged by
the company.
Low Values On Houses
A total of SO 4-room houses were
valued by the company at $20,077.75,
or 1928 each. The 2 per cent rental
rate would bring the rent for these
cottages down to $4.56 per month,
instead of the $8.75 per week now
charged.
Mr.. Thorp declared that this
discrepancy strongly indicated that
the cottages were of much higher
valuation than listed by the MWAK,
but explained that part of the rent
charged by the company covered the
use of an electric heating unit in
each house and the water used. A
separate charge is made for the
electric energy used by the house
holders.
Some of the valuations set by the
company on its larger equipment,
all purchased new at the beginning
of work, follow: Three cts" cater
pillar diesel tractors, $1,000 each; 3
LeTourneau bulldozers, $3.50 each;
q White trucks, $4,000 each. The
school was valued at 1896; recrea-
ton building, 1901; store, $6,946;
and theatre, $1,284.

 Millions of salmon also pass these islands yearly, and the natives are very expert in netting them and pre- serving them for food.
 The women and children gather great stores of eggs of aquatic birds that breed along the cliffs and the rocky shores, and for many years the most provident of the islanders have caught young wild geese alive and by clipping their wings have etOlllCSllSdlCo ldl SG llOShS Ol lIlClll The present hunting grounds of the natives extend over outlying rocks and reefs some distance to the east ward and southward, but in spite of all disadvantages and discomfoits the islanders are strongly attached to their birthplace and have de- clined many offers by captains of trading vessels to remove them to more favorable locations.
 Large numbers of sea lions and seals are killed annually in the vi. cinity of Attu, and nearly every b!t of these huge animals are put to some use. Of the skins they make boat covers and boots, and also use them for covering their houses or barabaras The intestines are made into waterproof garments, the large intestines making the kamelinka, most popular of native garments re- sembling a coat or a jacket.

Inhabitants Are Among The Poor est of AIeut Tribes--Live On
 Birds Eggs and Sea Food

Attu Island, one of the Aleutian group, is the farthest west of any land on the American continent and the first settlement established by the Russians when they sailed in l747 from the Commodore Islands on the coast of Kamchatka, was es- tablished at this desolate God-For- Saken wind-swept spot. Nevodchi- kof, a trader and navigator of note, landed here during that year and established trading post and small settlement. At that time the adjoin- ing island of Agatoo was also inhab- tied by the Aleuts, but today the only settlement is one of about 100 lonely souls at the head of he land- locked harbor of Chichagoff.
 These Aleuts are, perhaps, pecu- niarily, the poorest people on earth. The sea otter, which at one time fur nished them with unlimited wealth and barter from the Russians and upon which they depended for their clothing, food and luxuries, were kill ed off by merciless hunters, until to- day perhaps Is or 20 skins comprise the total number caught, and which are disposed of surreptitiously, as the law prohibits the taking of this fast vanishing fur-bearer for per iod of years. Officers on the revenue cutters informed the writer that the sea otter are rapidly increasing and that within a few more years an op- en season may be obtained, but at present the only furs which may be sold legally are those obtained from animals which have drifted in from sea, wounded or dead
