shows taxable property to the amount of »9.457.198.95.
I-ast year the «•-
sessment roll totaled »9.214.030.75. minus the property exempted by the
board of equalization.
"Last year.” said Assessor Strain "there were a great many more
exemptions by the board than there were this year.
The equalized prop-
erty for 19»4 is In round numbers »50.000. and with the exception of a
few hundred dollars In small claims, the entire exemption was taken from
the stock of the Oregon Building 4 Loan Association."
The asseasor's figures ahow that there are 385.725 acres of tillable
land in Vmatllla county, and 50*.444 acres of land that are non-tlllable
There are 491.15 miles of railroads, telegraph and telephone lines.
Fmatllla is known as a stock grazing region,
There are 9887 mules
and horses.
The cattle amount to almost twice the number of mules and
horses, while the sheep are almost 170,000 strong.
It will be noticed that the total amount of real estate in 1904 Is con-
siderably above that of 1903.
But there is a falling off In personal prop-
erty.
This decline in personal property Is doubtless due to a desire of
the asses»<ir to partially allow the 1300 exemption which the law contem
plated. but which the legislature failed to provide for this year.
