Company's Timber Cruise to Be Ac cepted in Certain Instances. $5 0,000 Forfeit Posted. CHEHALIS, Wash., Aug. IS. (Special.) The lonpr-drawn-out contest between the Lewis County Commissioners and the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company over pay ment of delinquent taxes has been com promised by a, reduction in the 1910 valua tions on certain lands. It Is estimated that the biggest timber owner in this county owes the county close to J268.000 in back taxes and accrued Interest. The statement has been made that the interest is accruing at the rate of 1ST a day. Under the terms of the compromise, which does not in any way affect the back taxes or interest due. the County Board has agreed to the follow ing: Up to date for taxation purposes the company accepts the cruise of timber made by the county cruisers on town ships 14 and 15 in ranges 5 and t east For 1910 and in the future, however, the county accepts thecruises of the com pany on the same lands, which amounts in substance to a reduction of 33 per cent from the cruise and valuations placed on the property by the county. On township 11, range 4. west, the county accepts the company's cruise, which is 20 per cent less than the county's cruise. The same reduction applies to any private holdings in the townships noted. George S. Long, of Tacoma, manager for the Weyerhaeuser Company, who was in the city this week, agreed on the settlement with the board, and as a guarantee of good faith deposited $30, 000 .forfeit that if the board would carry out the deal, the company within 60 days would pay up all its back taxes and in terest. There is at present pending in the su preme court a suit by some of the tim ber owners and operating mill companies of the county which it is expected will determine other disputed points growing out of the timber cruise made by the county about three years ago. When the Weyerhaeuser Company pays in its back taxes it will result in one of the biggest warrant calls ever made by the county treasurer and Lewis county will be much nearer a cash basis than it has been for many years, a, RIVERS AT LOWEST STAGE Oldest Settlers Say Record Beaten.
