ASSESS ALL TIMBER
Washington Assessors Favor
Full Valuation.
VAST -AREAS NOT TAXED
Tax Commissioner Frost Holds Up
Weyerhaeuser Company as 'Horri
ble Example or Holding of Un
developed Wealth.
SPOKANE. Jan. -14. Sentiment ex
pressed in the State Assessors' conven
tion today shows that body to be unan
imously in favor of en adequate and de
tailed cruise of all of the limber lands
in the state, for taxation purposes and
for the"asseesment of standing timber
on the same basis of its actual or mar
ket value that other property of the state
is esseesed.
"I know that -there is much effort be
ing made by the highly-paid representa
tives of the big timber companies to
create a sentiment in - opposition to the
taxation of timber lands as other prop
erty is taxed, on the ground that it will
cause the stripping of the lands of tim
ber. "The Weyerhaeuser Timber Company
Alone owns 250,000 ecres of the best tim
ber in Pacific County, 19S.O0O acres in
T-ewia County and 250.000 acres in King
County. This company is doing noth
ing to develop the state, it is not manu
facturing any lumber except in a email
way at one mill and it is not selling tim
ber from its own lands except at the
highest prices it can get from other mill
owners. It is simply waiting for others
to make its property valuable, selling it
off if it gets its own prices, and dis
tributing the proceeds in dividends to
stockholders living in other states or in
foreign countries."
The following resolution proposed by
the "committee on timber lands was ac
cepted: '
"Your committee on timber lands de
sires emphatically to indorse the result
of assessment valuations based on m
' ber cruises and to urge that counties not
already cruised undertake such work
at the earliest possible moment."

SPOKAKE, Wash., Jan. 14. (Special.)'
Meats of all kinds are higher in the
Palouse country than- ever known. Hogs

and 10 cents dressed, and local butchers
predict a price of 10 cents, live weight,

worth 4 cents to 4V4 cents; cows, 3hs
cents, and sheep, 5 cents live weight. 5

Tork, from 3 2 to 18 cents; mutton,
15 and 18 cents: beef. 10 to 15 cents;
veal, 15 to 18 cents; chickens, 15 cents?
lard. 18 cents; bacon. 20 to 22 cents;
hams, 18 to 22 cents.
The cost of living has never been as
high in the history of the Palouse
country, due almost wholly to the liisrli
prices paid for farm products. Kprtjs

(country), 35 cents a pound: -creamery
butter, 45 cents; flour, $6 to $6.60 a

POISON EVIDENCE SOUGHT
Stomach of Philanthropist May Re
veal Plot to Murder Family.
KANSAS CTTY. Jan. U. A theory that
a capsule containing- poison was given
to the late Colonel Thomas Swope, the
millionaire philanthropist, an hour be
fore his death, is being run down by the
prosecutor's office here.
One basis for this theory is that

Colonel Swope died in convulsions. His
death at the time, it was announced, had
resulted from apoplexy. The prosecutor
quoted a physician as saying: death from
apoplexy is not accompanied by con
vulsions. No arrests will be made until a re
port has been submitted on the examina
tion of the stomach of Colonel Swope
by the Coroner's physician.
Death was at first attributed to apo
plexy, but a quick succession of deaths
and illnesses among1 heirs of the Swope
estate led to "an investigation, culmi
nating in the exhuming of the body of
Colonel Swope and the removal of his
stomach' for the purpose of an autopsy.
"There is not a particle of doubt in
my mind," continued Mr. Atwood, "that
both- Thomas and Christian Swope were
poisoned.
The alleged murder plot, said to have
been planned with great deliberation, had
for its supposed end the extermination
of all the Swope heirs. It is stated that
shortly before Christian Swope died on
December 2, just xme month later than
that of his uncle, ColonefSvope, a man
visited the office of a. well-known bac
teriologist in Kansas City and secured
some typhoid germs. With these dread
bacilli, it is asserted, the man hoped to
inoculate the members of the 9wjpe
family.
