That Assessment.
High Compliment to fir. Tongue.
The Iudian War Veterans of
Washington County, at a meeting
ield in Hillsboro on Saturday last,
far the purpose of formulating plans
for applying for pensions under the
neurit act of Congress, showed their
appreciation of the efforts of Con
gressman Tongue by unanimously
passing the following resolutions:
uWe, the undersigned, constitut
ing the Iudian War Veterans of
Washington County, Or., being
billy coguizant of the untiring ef
forts of our congressman, Hon. T.
B. Tongue, to secure for the Indian
Tt'ar Veterans those rights which
are granted to soldiers of all wars,
and being grateful for the effoits
wbioh have led to success in pen
aious heing granted to them, do, ir
lespective of party, here resolve:
"That, inasmuch as in Mr. Tongue
found all the qualifications neces
mry for a successful representative
fa state of the great Northwest,
we do herebv give him a vote of
confidence and ask the Washington
County legislative delegation to
support bim for the high office of
United States senator, and to that
end we pledge our influence and
our support for his elevation to that
kouorable'position, which, in our
opinion, he has earned by his in'
eiefatigable efforts."
The resolution was introduced by
"W. H. H. Myers, of Forest Grove, a
staunch Democrat, and supported
ir everyone present regardless of
polities Before the vote was taken,
Mr. Tongue, who was present, said :
T am not a candidate for tbe
United States senate in any man
ner. There are gentlemen who are
candidates for that position who are
personal and political friends of
mine, and whose aspirations I could
aot and shall not antagonize. It
would be ungrateful on my part to
do so. They have assisted in secur
ing my elrction, and I certainly
cannot antagonize their political
aspirations. Besides, the people of
this district have bsen very kind to
aae. It would be ungrateful to them
indicate in any way teat l am
sot content with - the position to
which they have elected me with
inch a handsome majority. Fidelity
B my mends and gratitude to tbe
voters of tbe First Congressional
.District both preclude me from be'
pig a candidate for the United
Slates senate. As an expression of
X'iur good feeling it would not be
or.jic:ionable, rather gratifying, but
I Lope yon will not take tbis res.ilu
tinn for more than this."
The above expression is what
sight have been expected from
Thomas H. Tongue. Loyalty to
Sis friends and his party baa been
characteristic in his career, both
, pabiic and private. Mr. Tongue
would receive strong support all
TOB-the state should he allow bis
jtme to be use as a candidate for

The Enquirer has discovered a mare's
nest tn the nuaosMiioiit of the county.
in me issue oi June L'JHh it makes a
uumber of fearful aud wonderful (mis)
statements. The 11 rat In that "If reports
aro to be relied on Assessor Pendleton
Is making from SO to 40 per oent reduc
tion In valuation." Well, reports are
not to be relied on In this cueo. As
sessor Pondloton tolls us that when his
assessment roll is completed it will
probably show an average reduction of
from 12 to 15 per oent. He is making
this reduotion In an endeavor to more
uoarly equalize valuations In property
throughout the county, not in an at
tempt "to square himself" as the En
quirer states. Mr. Pondloton has done
nothing during his tortn of office that
needs "squaring." Hols "square" in
his dealing, both publlo and private.
Horace threatens that the people of
.Jaokaon County will raiao a disturb
ance If there la any reduotion In rail
road valuation. There is no special
necessity of anyone donning war paint

On tha Invitation of Jas. . Smith
aud W, K. Phillips, a" representative
of Tins Mail took a stroll last Friday
over their tine places at Knob Hill, In
Knat Modford. Those gentlemen are
retired miners and while not claiming
to bo agricultural experts, thoy aro
putting into elToot Ulcus that are mule
ing thutr places that any up-to-date
farmer oould pattern after. One no
tioeablo thing that Is wanting tn
many farms la the perfect order
which all implements aud things aliout
the farm are kept, for everything has
its place and Is there when not In use
and being properly oarod for and hooped
there Is not that improvident waste
practiced by so ninny farmers. And
another thing that Is noticeable is the
thoroughness in which all work la done
for there is no evldenoa of slip-shod
methods and put-up-for-tomorrow stylo
of work about their places. The build'
ings which tbey have put up aro mod
els of convenience aud good appoarauce.
One of the things that they havo done
that Is especially appreciated by rest
dents of East Modford Is thu Olllug up
really ought to bo satisfied with that.
Iu speaking of the assessment of last
year Horace says Mr. Pendleton "never
stopped to think when making the as
sessment last year of tho seven mill and
extra levy." Now, In that little sen
tence, Mann does one of three things
He either gives Mr. Pendleton orodlt
for more than usual foresight; presumes
on the iguorance of his readers, or him
self is Ignorant of the fact that the levy
was made by the county court in Janu
ary, 1002, while Mr. Pendleton had fin
Ished his assessment or the county in
September, 1901.
The accusation that Mr. Pendleton,
by the valuation placed on property bv
h'm, Is responsible la any way for an The Medford M.ur, newsman, in his
increase In taxos throughout tbe search for the ever elusive news (torn
county is absurd. Probably Instances visited the photographio irallory, re
might be found where one man's taxes cently built by R. Vinton Beall, on his
bad been increased proportionately father's (R. V. Benll) plnco three miles

in 1033 loads of earlh, which they got
by stripping the dirt from above the

othor work of a public nature that thuy

high or low, it will make no difference
in the amount the taxpayer will bo
compelled to pay, If tbe assessment is
equable, and no one claims that this
one was not. The county court settles
that part of it, the assessor has nothing
dered uneigbtly by one side being too
dark and the other too light. His larg

court an estimate Is made of the amount
of money necessary to meet expenses
for the year and a sufficient levy is made
to raise that amount from the taxable

large the levy will be low, If valuation
is small tbe levy will be hiith. but

Medford, Oregon
The Mail has the news.
the amount of property he owns. Last
year Mr. Pendleton started In to raise
valnatioos on property In the county
with the assurance that tbe levy made
by the county commissioners court
would be lowered in proportion. The
levy was made one mill lower and
would have been still more so, but for
various conditions, an increase In state
taxes being one of them, something be'
yond the control of county officials,
and the consequence was the tuxes
were more than they had been. If Mr.
Pendleton had placed the same valua
tion on property as he did the year be'
tore tbe levy would have been still
higher, but the amount of taxes , paid
by each taypayer wonld have been about
tbe same. When the Enquirer eays
that "some have expressed the opinion
that the levy he (Pendleton) is now
making will not next year meet the
county's expenses," he surely knows
that the man who makes a remark like
that doesn't know what he Is talking
about. Mr. Pendleton docs not mnke a
levy, he makes an assessment- places
a valuation on tbe property and it lies
with the county commissioners court to
make a levy on that valuation sufficient
to raise money lor tbe county's neods.
.Besides, Horace didn't have to rely on
rept,7t8 about tbis thing. He sees Mr.
Pendlew00 every few days, and could
learned pbotograpby as an art, for In
addition to being an expert in all thi
mechanical details, be thoroughly un
derstands posing, a feature llttlo under
stood by many photographers, as is
proven by the awkward figures made
by many persons who have been posed
by them. Mr. Beall does all the latest
in pbotograpby, Including carbons,
platlnotypes, platinos, voloxes, opaU
and transparencies.
Mr. Beall is also a practical chemist
and has quite a laboratory In his dark
room, which is one of the most com
plete in Oregon. Mr. Bc-all's work
speaks for itself, for It is equal to tbe
best that is done In any of the galleries

C. If. Lewis, who is one of Portland's
leading merchants, and who last vrar
bought tho splendid orchard south of
Medford. known as the Weeks A Orr or
chard, has let the contract to G. f
chermprborn to errrt for him nt hit
orchard a cottage, or rather a bungalow,
for in style it will bo entirely differen
from any residence about Medford, be
ing more like a bungalow of India. It
will be 311x32( feet, one story, but w.ith
12 foot walls. There will bo a board
porch along two sides of the building
and on tho side facing Medford will be
a balcony of a design both unique and
hsndsomo, differing from anything In
that line In Oregon. A fireplace 3x8
feet will add comfort and good cheer to
this model home.
The bungalow will sit on an eminence
in tbe center of the big orchard and
from the balcony magnificent viuw
can be had of the Rogue river valley
dotted with towns and orchards, with
historic old Table Rock in the distance
and the Cascade and Umpqua mountains
to the east and the north, while to the
south Wagner buttcand the foothills of
the Siskiyous can plninly be seen.
Mr. Lewis had an eye to value when
he purchased that bis orchard and h
certainly had an eye to the beautiful
wnoirne selected tne site and the de
sign lor ins dwolling house upon it.
. Hotel Nash Improvements,
It is about settled tbat the Mash ho

modern hotel. Architect I. A. Palmer
Is now making preliminary drawings so
as to ascertain the approximate cost of
the improvements, after whioh Oapt. J
r. u. Nash will deoldo whether ho will
rebuild or not, bnt it (s almost certain
that the Improvements will be made,
Mr. Palmer's plans call for an entire
rearrangement of tho building. The
hotel office will bo in tho middle of tbe
Seventh street front, with tho saloon
on the corner and the barber ebon to be
between the offioe and the meat market
which will remain where it Is. The
dining room will front on D stroot and
iv anu tno Kiicnen win occupy tho en
tire south side of tho building. The
ladles' parlor will be enlarged and
made more convohlent. A third story
will be added to tho building and tho
unsightly baloony to the second story
will be removed. It is Mr. Palmer's
plan In bo far as it can be carried out to
make Hotel Nash Into a well arranged
ooiivenienl hotel and to be a building,
the appearance of which will be a cred
