Tbe assessment of 1899 lsincreaaed 5104.-465, which represents new property added to the roll, with the exception of a slight increase in theT value of cattle. Old values have not been enlarged. In fact. Baker County reflects the sentiment of most of the counties, in the country districts by showing a tendency to lower valuations, to meet the sweeping reduction made JnMultnomah, Despite' this dispo sition, and the fact that a large number of sheep and cattle have been driven from the state since the 1S99 assessment, a substantial Increase prevails.. The sum mary is as follows: Acres of tillable lands, 59,397 $ 393,K4 Acres nontillable lands 123,722 219,035 Improvements on deeded or pat- ented lands. 1S8.43& Town and city lots 451,oo0 Improvements on lands not deed- ed. or patented 31,590 Miles of railroad bed. 99.6 299,200 Miles of telegraph and telephone 4inesU 356 14.805 Rolling stock 45,7 Steamboats, sailboats, stationary engines and manufacturing ma chinery 83,390 'Merchandise and stock in trade.. 216,700 JFtarming Implements, carriages, wagons, etc.. 36,923 Money ,., 28,710 Notes and accounts 87,150 Shares of stock, 1105 K. 51,975 Household furniture, watches, jewelry, etc. 33,1C0 Horses and mules, 3474 42,820 Cattle, 15.15 199.113.
