Oregon Assttwors In Convention lMs mihm This Weighty Problem, "Are dogs property?" "t'un they be assessed, and if so, at what rate?" "If ntwi'RHuble, under what heading are they to be placed?" "Are all dogs of the same value, and should a dog which Is good for nothing but bark be assessed at the same figure as a dog which Is good to chew up assessors or bite the tulls of eheep?" These are some of the questions with which the county assessors of the state labored in their annual con vention which Is being held In the of fice of County Assessor Slglcr In the city hall, says the Portland Telegram. For nearly an hour yesterday ufter nonn the dog question was discussed In all Its phuscs. Assessor D. B. Mc Knlght of Linn, opened the discussion by wanting to know If any of his brother assessors had "bumped" up against the proposition of assessing dogs, and If so, how had they proceed ed. He was eager for information re garding the question. Nearly ever assessor present had an opinion on the subject. It wus said that some dogs Were of considerable value. Some of the sheep dogs on the ranges were worth 11s high as 50 each, and It was thought that these dogs should be assessed fur the price asked for them l,y their owners Other dogs tvere good for nothing but to eat meat u, and it was I thought these should bo assessed I . .. . si me minimum sum. One assessor remarked that he hud n man come to him to have his dog as sessed, as then he could ny his dog was personal propel 'y and he would get out of paying a dog license. He thought It cheaper to do this. s tjm tax on the nvsessed value of th" dug would be less than the dog license. Stake Mooting. There will be a religious class con vention of the U D.

Sacra menfo, Jan. H. Lee Hoy, who was president of the Hop Sing tong, was assassinated here, last night by seven Chinese members of the King Kong tong.
