OVKR DETAILS OK THE SOUTH- HIS OPINION OP THE EQUAL
33RX OREGOX COMPANY'S AC-' IZATION OF THE ASSESSMENT.
rinox.
COQUILLE. Or.. Nov. 5
190S.
SSditor Coos Bay Times,
Dear Sir: We note that
the
Southern Oregon Company through
ht Secretary, R. E. Shine, takes ex-
eeptions to my statements as to the
actions of the Board of Equaliza
tion, and more especially to the fact
that the "Southern Oregon Com
pany did not advocate the raising of
other assessments until the company
found that it could not have the
assessment on its own property re--dnced."
"Also when they could not
set a reduction, Mr. Shine pointed
out property here and there he
.-thought should be assessed higher."
In the article the company states,
"'This statement is incorrect and mis
leading and has a tendency to create
a wrong impression of the position
of the company in this matter."
"With all due regards to the repre
sentative of the company, we wish to
act forth what actually transpired at
-that session of the hoard and let the
people judge for themselves as to the
-statements made.
Mr. Shine appeared by duly filing
Ills petition with the Board of Equal
ization which petition sets forth the
present unequalized assessments of
the Southern Oregon Company hold
ings, and other adjacent holdings in
the peninsula of Tp. 23 SR 13 West,
and a few sections in the northern
part of Tp. 2G SR 13 West. This
petition further sets forth that the
company holdings were assessed
higher than other holdings in the
immediate vicinity which is to some
vextent true.
-Later, when Mr. Shine appeared
"before the Board in behalf of his peti
tion ie claimed there were great dis
crepancies in valuations and in his
plea for an equalization suggested
nt of the goodness of his heart that
It would be better to reduce the as-
sessment of the Southern Oregon
Company holdings, than to go to the
-trouble of notifying the numerous
jjroperty owners of the before men
tioned vicinity. When the board ex
awessed their unwillingness to re
duce the company's valuation's he in
sisted very much upon the equaliza
tion of valuations. This certainly
4Hd not mean to let the assessment
trcmaln as it was and he was cer
sfcainly advocating either the lowering
ol the company's property or the rais
ins of the adjacent holdings.
3Ir. Shine's position in the matter
was -well taken and merited the
board's consideration. Yet, after ex
pressing his belief that no property in
ihe county was assessed to a ques
tionable cash valuation, we cannot
tinderstand the plea to the board to
equalize the assessment and not go
ito the trouble of notifying the nu
merous property holders of the inten
sion to raise their valuations, if it
were not a plea for a reduction on
the Southern Oregon Company's
Tholdings.
.Mr. Shine certainly advocated the
reduction of the Company's holdings
as being the most feasible adjust
ment for the present year, and a re
adjustment of all valuations when
he next assessment is made.
would be pleased to verify the
correctness of thebe statements by
Ifjavlng anyone interested interview
tt.no members of the board and In
spect the petition and plea filed of
record by the Southern Oregon Com
pany. Respectfully yours,
T. J. THRIFT.

EMPIRE RESIDENT EXPRESSES
EMPIRE, Ore., Nov. 4, OS.
Editor Times:
Sir: I hope the people of Coos
county will see that Assessor Thrift
eivps Etnnlrn a smiare deal. I don't
jbeHeve ,n cards but SqUare dear
,g what Mr shIne sa,d we want and
I think the assessor should be on the
square with us.
North Bend and Marshfield
each larger than Empire and
are
why
should they not be taxed higher ac
cordingly. The Marshfield district
for instance has 732 school children
and Empire only 42, or less than one
seventh as many. Why should not
Marshfield pay seventeen times as
much tax? Then at Marshfield is a
modern mill said to be the most up-to-date
in the world, and in North
Bend are the Simpson mills and fac
tories. Here the mill wheels have
not turned for ten years. This should
increase the proportionate rate of as
sessment and taxation for the up-bay
towns. Though the population of
both. North Bend and Marshfield, is
much larger than that of Empire,
the population of Marshfield, for ex
ample, is probably nine times that
of Empire. On that basis why should
not Marshfield property be assessed
nine times as high as Empire prop
erty owners? Again, North Bend and"
Marshfield are farther from the ocean
than Empire and the distance from
the bar should be taken into consld-
eration in fixing assessment valua
tions. Marshfield, at the head of the
bay, should certainly be assessed"
higher than towns near the sea. Al
together, property owners at the
head of the bay, conservatively
speaking, should be assessed at about
thirty times the valuation of similar
property on the lower bay. For in
stance, if a lot Is valued at $100 in
Empire the same lot should be valu
ed at $3,000 in Marshfield.
We do not wish to interfere with
anv one ejse's assessment, but the
actlve mnis, new brick blocks, fac-
torles and towns of paved streets,
the Oregon Coal and Navigation Com
pany, the Flanagan estate and Mer
chant estate should surely pay thirty
times as high a rate as Empire, and
the rest of the Southern Oregon Com
pany. FATHER OF FOUR.

A CURE FOR RHEUMATISL
Each recurring attack of rheuma
tism makes the disease harder to
control, but the fact that it is not
in itself dangerous causes people to
neglect it awaiting a change or a
settled condition of the weather for
relief. It is often only after the dis
ease has become so serious as to in
terfere with business that the suf
ferer -will seek more than temporary
relief. Chamberlain's Liniment Is a
remedy for rheumatism which any
on can apply. It not only gives
prompt relief from pain, but in a
large majority of cases it brings
about permanent results. The first
application will surprise and delight
you as immediate relief Is almost
sure to follow. For sale by JOHN
PREUSS.
