STATE TAX BOARD RXESTHE VALUES Arrive! at Valuation of Railways, Telegraph and Telephone Lines THIS COt.NTY AT MILLION AND HALF Ahead ol Yamhill Cosily by A boat Half t Million Dollar The state tax commission has finally arrived at the assessed valuation of the public Bervice corjxjrations, and sent out their figures to the various county clerks. The grand total of assessment reaches $97,203, 304, and Washington County's valuations, now to be extended on tax roll, stand at $1,541,016. which is about a half million more than the Yamhill County assessment. To give Argus read ers an idea as to how the assess ment ts made in all counties, the following table will be of interest -and it might be well to state that the assessment is about what was expected: B t 6.0M.JI4 Benltn 670 aSi CUckam.. 3.1536.7 C'ataop 871.81S Columbia 3,054.

M. Wendt vs. OtillieC. Wendt in which the criminations and recriminations of the old pleadings in the case were set out in substance. Lest your numerous readers might, there- rom. gain the impression that Dr. Wendt was given a decree of divorce upon the charges contain ed in the old complaint, permit me to say that the decree was granted on an amended complaint from which the wild charges originally preferred by the Doctor were withdrawn. 1 he decree was granted on what, in many of the states, would be recognized as incompatibility of temperment Mrs. Wendt did not appear at the trial, and thus the tale of mharmony, which might have been revealed, had she appeared and testified, remains untold, to the betterment of the community where both she and the Doctor live. I offer this to protect a good woman's name from any in ference that might arise that she had acted at all improperly. His Honor, Judge Campbell, awarded Dr. i Wendt a decree, after the parties had compromised their principal differences and had, as you have said, adjusted their property rights out of court Dr. Wendt started the suit, and was, by Mrs. Wendt s permis sion, alone, permitted to finish it Very Respectfully, John H. Stevenson, Attorney for Mrs. Wendt MRS. TOMPKINS Mrs. Sarah Jane Tompkins died at Forest Grove, at the home of her son, Robert Tompkins, Jan uary 8, 1911. She was a pioneer of 1845.

La ter she was wedded to James Tompkins, tbe veteran horseman. and who was one of the big men in Hiilsboro Fair days, and who died over in lulamook, in 1906, She is survived by the following children: Mrs. George Bacon, Hiilsboro; Mrs. C. F. Miller, wife of the Forest Grove pioneer drug' gist; J. W. Tompkins, Tillamook; Mrs. N. J. Myers, Tillamook; Robert Tompkins, Forest Grove, and A. ki., postmaster at War renton, Oregon.
