The entire 3 acrea la assessed thia year at liao.ooe, or a. little mora than $60 an acre. .- , ' . ast of and adjoining the Cook river frontage is a S3 acre tract owned by the City Land company, which la as sessed thla year for $00 an acre.

Neither the O.-W.

Thia property is ss Kfsaed this year at $79,000, or, about i9 an acre. : Total AsMssad TalutlOB, 1800,000. The entire 1350' acrea ia asaasaed this year at about $100,000. which is s little more than one-eighth of tha aggregate price at which it is held by tha various owners. . . That these land are worth what tha owner iold them at Is considered ab surd by those who are familiar with conditions on tha opposite sides of the river from Swan island. During the annual spring freahets In the Columbia river nearly every foot of tha whole 1650 acres ia covered - with water , from five to fifteen feet deep. In 1(94 tha average dentil of water on theae landa was more than SO feat and much of it under 2 feet of water. Tha rec lamation of any or all of the area in cluded in the Swan island project by private enterprlae is believed to ba out of tha question, because of the urohlbi , tiv cost That tha diatrlot can he re claimed only by the expenditure of an immense sum of money by some public way, eucn aa tne city or Fort of Port land, la the opinion generally held by those who have studied conditions in toe jower rortiana harbor.
