COUNTY'S VALUATION SINKS
$48,175 DURING LAST YEAR
The total uhhc'shoiI valuation of
ClurkumiiH county tins shrunk from
094,200 to L'3.06,02S in the hint
year, a decrease of $18,175, according
to figures prepared by County Asses
sor J. H. Jack for the board of equal
ization which meeta tliin week. These
fllturos excludo the lotm of the Ore
gon A California grant lands.
The county's lo3s of assessed valu-
ntlon Is due principally to wind storms
Id the Cascades during lust winter
and spring. Assessor .luck sent men
into the mountains to estimate the
damege done and they returned with
tho report that millions of feet of
Hti'.mllng timber had been lost by tho
force of the wind. In places the
trees were plied so high and so thick
that It is impossible to get through
them. Tho assessed value of timber
holdings was cut fllO.OOfl because of
these storms.
Only six cases have been brought
beforo tho board of equalization. The
Portland Presbyterian church asks
that the assessment of Its property
in this county, used as a refuge for
bumnn derelicts, he reduced. Action
lies been taken In none of these cases.

(ieneral llrown held in an opinion here
today.
llrown held that precinct commit
tcenien have a right to fill a vn,
cancy whoro tho vacancy Is caused by
death or removal from the district, bill
not otherwise.
Convert was nominated for senutor
to fill a vuciincy caused by the resig
tuition of Georgo M. Mcllrido. Mcllrido
did not remove from tho district and
he Ih alive.
Even if Hie statutes were broad
enough to permit the filling of such a
viieuney by committeemen, precinct
committeemen of counties could not
do It, buciise a senator Is a state offl
cr, llrown asserts.
"Tho precinct committeemen attend

nor less a right, as nny republlcnn
electors of their respective counties
have, to attend and participate In said
convention," suys Drown.'

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. Orders
were issued by the war department to
day for the discharge from federal
service us soon as practicable of 12
National guard regiments comprising
about 13.000 men recently withdrawn
to their home states from the Mexican
border and a number of smaller or
ganizations of some 1500 colleges and
university students. The Third Ore
gon is Included in the list.
Orders for the mustering out of ad
ditional units are expected to follow
soon. The next regiment to leave the
federal service will be the Fourteenth
New York Infantry, now at camp near
Flshkill, N. Y which will go as soon
as its members are freed from danger
of para-typhoid contusion.
There are about 40,000 guardsmen
still in state mobilization camps and
these probably will be dispatched to
the border soon to relieve men now
serving there. . Secretary Baker fa
vors giving all the state troops a
chance for the training to be acquired
on the patrol line.
Today's orders wer construed by
some officials as a preliminary to the
withdrawal of General Pershing's reg
ulars from Mexico. Officers of the
general staff insisted, however, that
the release of the guardsmen resulted
principally from the improving con
ditions on the border.
