MAY BUILD ALBANY PLANT
Report That Portland Packers Will

ALBANY. Or.. Aug. 25. Special. ) A
report, said to be well founded, was cur
rent here today that O'Shea Bros., of
Portland, are planning to erect a $20,000
packing plant in Albany. Barred from
the Portland field by the terms of the
sale of the Union Meat Company's 'plant,
they have selected Albany as a desirable
site because of its railroad facilities.
According to reported plans, they have
a site of 25 acres in view and will soon
commence work on the plant. The foun
dation for this rumor lies In the fact that
John O'Shea spent several days here last
week. But real estate men, with whom
he consulted, assert that he was merely
looking for a residence, desiring to make
VIEW OF
Albany his home, and that if he had any
business plans here, he gave no intima
tion of them whatever.

RAILROAD VALUES
MAY BE REDUCED
Washington County Boards of
Equalization Thwart
Commission.
CUT MADE IN ASSESSMENT
Failure to Assess Other Property at
60 Per Cent- of True Value
- May Decrease Figures
for Roads.
OLYMF1A. Wash.. Aug. 26. (Special.) I
The attempt of the tax commission to
' ,.r 'if, i
THE SOUTHER.V PACIFIC WRECK NEAR EIGEE.
fix an assessed value on railroad prop
erty In this state equivalent to 60 per
cent of its true value as ascertained by
the railroad commission, has- apparently
been thwarted by King and other coun
ties. King and numerous other counties
have failed to assess other property at
60 per cent of Its true value and mem
bers of the state board of equalization,
which this year has the full power to fix
the assessed value on railroads, admit
that railroads cannot legally be assessed
on a higher proportion of their true
value than other property.
The railroad commission's valuation
placed on railroad right of way and roll
ing stock was approximately $225,000,000.
Heretofore the tax commission adopted
60 per cent of that value for assessment
purposes and started, a campaign
throughout the state to induce county
assessors and boards of equalization to
fix a 60 per cent value on other property.
The taxable value of railroads under
this plan would have been about 135,
000,000, or a little more than three times
the assessed value in 1907.
King County Board Makes Cut.
In King county the assessor returned
what is declared by the tax commission
to be the best' and most equable assess
ment ever returned in a county in the
state and the values were fixed with a
high degree of uniformity at 60 per cent
of the true value. But the county board
of equalization made, a horizontal cut of
25 per cent on the assessor's figures! It
Is admitted that it would now be illegal
to fix a 60 per cent valuation on the
railroad property In King county.
According to the returns of the last
statr board of equalization King county
possessed within its boundaries nearly
one-third of all the taxable property in
the state. The question now arises
whether the state board of equalization
can fix a 60 per cent value on railroads
In counties where other property is as
sessed at 60 per cent and fix the value
at only 45 per cent In King and such
counties that are under the 60 per cent
valuation on other classes of property.
There Is a strong probability that with
other counties In the same category as
is King, the state board will be com
pelled to reduce the tax commission's
railroad valuations to about 40 per cent
of their true value or to about taO.OOO,
000. making a reduction of $46,000,000.
At $90,000,000 the total value on rail
roads in this state would be about double
Instead of treble what It was In 1907.
County Officials Still In Control.
Under the existing law the taxation of
railroad property has been taken entirely
out of the hands of the assessors and
county boards of equalization, but this
year's experience -with the law Is demon
strating that the county officials can still
control the situation.
The King county horizontal cut of 25
per cent is openly charged by J. E. Frost,
of the tax commission, to railroad and
political Influences. The railroad repre
sentatives, it is charged. Induced the
owners of Income business property,
which was raised greatly In Seattle, to
Join with them in a protest to the county
board of equalization and the pressure
brought to bear was so strong that the
board yielded in the face of the fact that
a committee from the Chamber of Com
merce, which had gone thoroughly into
the sltuatfbn with the assessor and tax
commission, approved the assessor's val
uations. The result, If as now expected,
would have a political significance were
it not that it will not be known until
after the primary election is over. If
railroad valuations are put In at 40 per
cent the claims of increased revenue
from the railroads made by the Mead
forces in behalf of the railroad and tax
commissions will be reduced one-half.
In Session Next Month.
The state board of equalization begins
its sessions Wednesday, September 9, and
will continue In session 20 days. At a
preliminary conference yesterday after
noon the difficulties that confront the
board as a result of the counties failing
to adopt a uniform 60 per cent valuation
were discussed and dates for hearings
were fixed.
The railroads, which have been at work
for months compiling statistics showing
the proportion to the true value at which
other property is assessed, will be given
the fullest opportunity to be heard. The
hearings on equalizations between coun
ties will be reduced to four days. Five
days were allowed last year. The pro
gramme for the session follows:

VALUATIONS ARE ' REDUCED
Number of Changes Made by Pacific
' " County Board.
SOUTH BEND. Wash.. Aug. ' 25. (Spe
cial.) The Pacific County board of equal
ization has adjourned after a tempestu
ous session. The trouble started when
taxpayers of South Bend and Raymond
were notified, that their real estate val
utions would be raised 100 per cent, In
order to conform to timber valuations
which were taken as a standard. Tim
ber has been assessed at 60 per cent of
its actual value., an average -of $1.75 per.
1000 feet. Members of the Taxpayers
'League then spent three days before the
board in a determined effort to have the
timber valuations reduced to 30 per cent
of the original assessment, and In this
tney were nnauy buuccmiui. ncoj coio.o
valuations in the .two above named cities
were allowed to stand at Assessor's val
uation. The next to make a fight were
the mill owners, who demanded that the
valuation of their plants be materially
reduced. Their., demands were twice
granted and as many times the decision
was rescinded, and the original valua
tion was finally decided upon. A delega
tion of fishermen from the Lower - Co
lumbia then came over and asked that
the valuation of trap locations be cut
in two. - The original valuation of these
locations was fixed at $3000. The request
was granted.

Piano Values That
Attract Attention
The attraction to this store to the piano buyer is not alone in the
great collection of instruments shown here, but also in the values
which are evident to all who make investigation and comparison.
By reason of the magnitude of our wholesale business, we are
enabled to command resources and to control facilities by which we
reduce our selling cost per piano to a much lower point than is pos
sible for the retail dealer.
Our business is principally that of wholesaling, but we are selling
many pianos here in the city from our wholesale warerooms because
it can be done without any additional expense.
This is our wholesale distributing point for the entire Northwest
and it costs us nothing extra to sell a piano to a private individual.
How can' you expect to buy a piano as cheap elsewhere T All retail
dealers have to add to the cost of each piano their expense for lights,
clerks, and a retail store, which is usually enormous. We have no
expense whatsoever to charge that department.
Some of the world's best pianos are on exhibition here and the
low prices at which they can be purchased is already the talk of the
musical fraternity. Why not investigate for yourself? Our liberal
plan of deferred payments makes it possible for you to own even a
MASON & HAMLIN (the costliest piano in the world).
