successive victory won In the state
supreme court by District Attorney
Gllbort U Hedge.
Tho Weyerhaeuser appeal waa
argued before the state supreme court
by Gilbert L. Hodgea representing
Clackamas county and C L. Starr, for
the land company. Hedge waa as
sisted by deputy district attorney
Thomas A. llurke and It. II. Heckett
while Starr had the assistance of Lit
tlefleld and Magutre. County Aaseasor
J. E. Jack and Deputy Assessor G. F.
Johnson also assisted the county In
securing tho reversal.
A petition was filed by tho Weyer
haeuser Ind company on September
19, 1914. with the board of equalisa
tion of this county praying for a reduc
tion on the assessed valuation of about
six sections of land valued at $1SS,-
145 by the assessor.
Following the denial of tho potltlon
by tho board, .tho company appealed
to tho Clnckomaa county circuit court
which flxod tho valuation at $92,502.
It was from this decision that the ap
peal was taken, which was mot by the
argument that the land was assessed
nt ItB tmo value whereas all other
property In tho county was assessed at
only 58 per cent of iU value-

District Attorney Hedges said in part
In the brief of the appollant: "This
whole matter is of the most vital im
portance to Clackamas county, and al
so to tho other timbered comities in
this state. If tho assessments placed
upon timber lands are to bo overturned
upon such flimsy and Inaccurate evi
dence as Iihb been Introduced In this
ciise, then the county officials might
Just as well turn over the assessment
books to the timber companies and
permit them to make their own assess
ments and valuation."
District Attorney Hedges Tuesday
afternoon expressed considerable grati
fication over the outcome of the case
and said that It was a "victory for the
email land holder."
"I always have held and still hold"
he said, "that unless the timber barons
pay the assessed valuation the money
must come from some place and the
small holder Is the one who must pay."

Pacific Coast Steel company recently
purchased 10 acre of land along the
Willamette river below Portland, at
WUlbrtdge, where a roller mill will
undoubtedly be erected ultimately to
handle the pig Iron to be turned out
at the Oswego plant
The big blast furnace at Oswego,
which at the time of It construction
was the only plant of It kind on the
entire Pacific Coast, ha not been op
erated since 1894, when the discovery
of the Mesaba range ore In Minnesota
reduced the price of pig Iron so much
that the Oswego furnace could not be
operated at a profit
The plant la of modern construction
throughout and waa built at' a cost
of about $300,000. Mr. Plgott said last
night that perbap $100,000 would be
spent In Improvement before the plant
la placed In operation, and that the
renovations and Installation would
probably require about CO days.
W. M. Ladd, president of the Ore
gon Iron A Steel Company, and A. S.
Patullo, general superintendent were
laying plans recently to tear the Os
wego plant down in order to sell the
Iron In its construction at the prevail
ing high prices. About that time Mr.
Plgott came along looking for a plant
site and looked the property over with
the result that the deal for the pur
chase of the entire holding was con
cluded yesterday.
Mr. Ladd is understood to have sold
the property at a reasonable figure
with the understanding that the plant
would be operated In the Portland ter
ritory and benefit the newly created
shipbuilding Industry.

CONDON, Or., June 26. The race
meeting given by the business men at
Condon recently was a most successful
one In every respect. The weather
was ideal and the crowds much larger
than a year ago. But best of all,
the races were top-notchers straight
Fortune, who managed the meet,
aroused the proper enthusiasm among
the local people before the races
opened and the town closed up for the
occasion. They put up liberal purses
and were out to see the events and
brought their friends all with them.
As the business men put up the money
to make the events possible it Is there
fore only right that whatever money is
spent by the crowd go to these finan
cial backers and under Mr. Fortunes's
policy the usual horde of cheap fakers
were barred out and every firm in
town enjoyed a fine run of extra trade.
Tho races were well contested. Some
of the best horses In the coast coun
try partlclpatd and M,r. Fortune was
emphatic in his praise of the horsemen
for the manner In which they sent
their entries to the wire and made the
start. There were none of the long
waits for races to start that have
