Editor Leader :- Being called along 'with each assessor of Oregon before the State loard of equalization to give inform ation and testimony to assist them in adjusting the State apportion ment. And after testifying before the board and listening to the tes timony of all of them I have these impressions and opinions. First that the assessment of property is a very nard task, and my reasons for faying this is several of the assessors testified that they had for the year l'JOS .messed the property of their counties at full cash value, or at 100 Inr ecnt, but I dua't think out .of the whole bunch of 34 assessors there was one but what failed to maintain this 100 per cent and I also believe each one of them knows for himself aa well as the 33 others condition as himself that he failed. My Impression is at, t he property of the State of Oregon is double what the assess ment rolls of the state will show, also that there is not a county in the state that will show more than CO per cent of her property on the 1908 tax roll with the lowest per haps 25 per cent. Second thai, it is imposible for any man to assess his county at full cash value and get it equal alone, Imt if the people would give him all the information they could and make a fair list of what they own and what they consider the value, then it would be equalized in some thing near the right way. But this is only my impiessions arid I give them to you for what they are worth. ' W. E. Ball. FOR NEW CROP SEEDS AND UP TO DATE $ GROCERIES GO TO R. S. VAN CLEVE f m TOLEDO.

Editor Leader: I have just been reading "What the Present Duty on Hides Means to You" from the Chicago-Record Herald of January 1, 1909. If you have space in your worthy paper I would like to say what is in my mind. It has been a query to me that commodities made from leather should be so high and raw hides so cheap. I have bought more or less hides for the past ten years, not for profit but to accommodate the peo ple, by trading goods for them. Sometimes having to hold them nearly a year before I could sell them. There has now been a small tannery started on Siletz Bay and a shoe shop by Mr. Wick. We now can buy shoes made by him for from one to two dollars less than for shoes shipped in. We save shipping leather out and shoes Now. is the time to visit California When Summer has passed in these northern states, the the sun is only mild under the bright blue skies (of Southern California. This v is one of nature's happy pro visionseternal summer for those who cannot endure a more severe climate. . California has been called the "Mecca of the winter tourist.
