OF ASSESSMENT
THIS Is the home cannliiK season.
The family uuotn of fruit will
soon lo "pur up." Tho small
frultn, strawberries. raspberries,
blackberries, cherries have all been
tared for by the thrifty Coos Huy
housowlves and now pouches will fol
low to their place on tho shelf that
holds so many toothsome "Hoodies"
that will brhiK a breath of summer
Into tho urny days to eoine.
Thoro Is perennial Inspiration In
the sljjht or (hoiiBht of n house
heepor worhlnr; with preservInK pots
nnd jars. It tithes ono back to tho
days when tho family was moro
noiirly self sufficient, before the
baker, tho butcher and thu milkman
eamo dally to undermine one's In
dependence, before the race hnd
made tho aciiialutuneo of "air
lights," canned niniilo and canned
meats.

Tho library has Just received a

.in. .1. T. McCormae. Among this
e il'i'ctlon on Hawaii Is a volumo
on llnwnllnn mat and basket weav-,
lug and nets and netting. Anyone
skilled In .weaving or basketry would
find many suggestions for new pnt
lorns in this. Drawings show each ,
atop In the processes through which
tho worker passes In making tho
MinBkets nnd nets. The largo colored
plates displaying tho completed work
are examples of well dovelnped art

by the steamship companies as well

The August llarpcr'H has an excel-
lent article In tho "Keillor's Easy
Chair," on the recent voto on the (
ten most useful Americans In the
Independent. Straws shows which I
way the wind blows. This election
Indicates, Howells points out, tli(
trend or aspiration and achievement
In tho United States In l!M:t. In the '
HUNio magazine Is an essay, "What
Makes a Story (ireat." The writer
says It Is not plot, incident or de
scription, but the vitality of the
Assessor Thrift Completes
Compilation of Tax Roll of
Coos County This Year.
County Assessor T. .1. Thrift com
pleted a summary of the assessment
roll for Coos County for tho yenr
1SH3, which shows the value of all
property in the county to be over
$22, (i-i l.i'Tu, an increase of three
and one-half millions over last year.
It was, however, expected that tho
aggregate would reach $2, 000. 000.
The State Tax Commission nssesses
railroads, telegraph and telephone
companies, and when this Is made
the total will probably reach $211,
000,000. One feature of tho assess
ment figures Is tho dearth of money
In Coos County, there being among
Its approximately 10,000 inhabitants
but $9,S50, certainly a most deplor
able financial condition.
There nre 20, 175 acres of tillable
lands, valued at $1,1551,800, and
SI 0,020 acres of non-tillable lands,
valued at $ 1 :t,4 S 1 .S?r. The Im
provements of deeded Innds total
$072,000, whilo tho Improvements
to town and city lots, which are
valued at $:!, 7 10,(552, aggregate $1,
115,(15. Improvements on Innds
not deeded amount to $10,105.
Thoro nro 3!l .1-1 miles of logging
railroads valued nt $30,100, and tho
valuation of tho rolling stock is
given at $S3,S00. Steamboat, snll
boats, stationary engines and manu
facturing mnchlnes within tho coun
ty nre valued nt $501,200, and mer
chandise and stock In trade shows
on tho roll at $:rr,7,225.
At the tlmo tho assessment was
made there was lint $!)S50 fn money,
while or notes and accounts there
was $r.!.2 ir., and $227,!' 15 In shares
and stocks.
Tho valno or household rumrture,
watches nnd Jewelry being only $10,
5S0, shows conclusively that Coos
County people aro not oxtrnvugant
In their homo furnishings, flaunt
an astonishing sinatl amount of Jew
elry and either reckon time by the
sun's movements or prey upon
central for tho necessary Informa
tion. ''arming Implements, wagons, car
riages, automobiles, etc., get .r totat
assessed valuation of $80,150. Thoro
aro 2.5S7 horses and mules, valued
at $111,085, unrf t .1,07-1 catrfo val
ued at $:iti7,2 Iff.. Of goats and sheep
there are 7200, valued at $18,1150:
202,'l swine valued at $8:155, whllo
the 021 dogs aro valued nt $5080,
or nearly one-half as much as nil
tho household furniture, Jewelry and
watches, and more than two-thirds
us much ns two thousand head of
hogs. It Is somewhat ivmnrkablc
let' It be snfd Incidentally, how a
people who have but $0850 In cold
cash can nlTonl dogs valued nt more
than half that sum. Hut thoy do,
nevertheless, for the Assessor says
so.
The board of equalization, con
sisting of the Assessor, County
Clerk nud Comity Judge, will meet
on September 8, There will prob
ably ho something doing at the ses
sion, many of tho timber owners
preparing to color a protest agntnst

Coos Hny Dredge Formally Christen'
od nt Seattle Kiiturdiiy.
The P. S. Mlehle, tho $350,000
bar dredge which tho Government
Is building at I'uget Sound for Im
proving the Coos Hny bar, was for
mally launched Saturday afternoon.
Henry Sengstackon received an In
vitation from the builders, the Seat
tle Drydock and Construction Com
pany, to attend, but his Invitation
came too late to attend.
Tho bottle or champagne with
which the dredge was christened, was
broken on tho bow ot" tho craft' by
Miss Elennore Chittenden, daughter
or General ChltteiulVn, retired,
chairman or tho Port ol" Seattle Com
mission. The dredge was built as n cost of
approximately $350,000 and Is 230
feet long, with a enpocfty of 1000
tons of sand. Illds were opened here
In tho ofrice or Major Morrow sev
eral months ago and the' contract
was awarded to tho Seattle Drydock
& Construction Company titf the low
est bidders.
On her completion tho Obi. P. S.
Mlchlo will ho brought to Coos Hay
and will eugnge In deepening the
bar channel in line with tlie proj
ect which the Government has In
hand.
Colonel Mlchlo, for whom tho
dredge Is to bo named, was professor
or natural experimental philosophy
at West Point for more than 30
years. Tho dredge will bo ready to
go to work In six weoks nftor being
launched.
