supposed Corvallis is the market
sought. .';.'V ': ' '"'' : ' " '.
The document was filed April 7,

ON INHERITANCES.
Heirs Must Pay the tax State Treas
urer Collects lit. 1
The hew law, taxing inheritan
ces, goes into effect about the 20th
received a copy of the new session
laws, from which" it " appears that
the inheritance, act should collect
a large revenue for the state. The
tax is levied against the sum , that
heirs receive, but does . not affect
estates whose total value is under !
$10,000. In case there is reasonSto
believe that the administrator's
appraisement is low,' provision , is
made for an independent appraise
ment, and for i ; taking testimony
relative to' the value of the property
in the estate. When. the estate
goes to heirs of the ' first degree,
that is a wife, husband, daughter,
son, and the like, the levy is one per
centum against the portion of each
heir. It is collected by the state
treasurer, and placed in the general
fund. In the case of uncles, aunts,
and other .relatives of other heirs of
the second degree, the rate of tax
ation is two per cent of all above
$2,000. In' relationship further
removed. or in the case of bequests
to corporate bodies, the Tate
three per cent from $500 to $5,600;
lour per cent 'trom S5, 000 to S20.-
000, five per cent to $.so.dooand
six per cent on bequests above the
latter figure. ' - ,: -;
The law provides that the coun
ty clerk shall provide ; the state
treasurer, with copies 01 appraise
ment and many other papers hied
by the administrator in estates sub
ject to the tax, and 'establishes
complete system that seems to make
it impossible for "' the payment of
the tax to be avoided. A ' similar
law is in successful - operation in
nearly all other states. ; ; ' ' u ; J '

financial success is, now , president
or the beattle, city council, and is
reputed to be president of a . three
million-dollar fruit syndicate which
has purchased a thousand acres of

Here is what "the California. Fruit
Grower has to say about him:
W-illiam Parry, , who is presi
dent of the Seattle . city council,
and president of a reported newly
incorporated California Fruit , Syn
dicate, arrived in San Francisco on
Monday last and is quoted as say
ing that his organization had been
successfully effected and had al
ready acquired by purchase in the
neisrhborhood of 1,000 acres of the
choicest producing orange groves of
southern California. , ; ,
The incorporators and directors
of the company are all . people of
prominence in Seattle. The organ
ization was effected under the laws
of the State of Washington with ,a
capital stock of $3,000,000. :
This is all, that can ' be - said on
this matter at this time, such de
tails as are in fhe hands of Califor
