Lane, county with "8 has mors properties of this type than any other county. Likewise, business properties and industrial machinery and inventories hava been revalued. In each caa some values have been moved up and some down. Tn the ag gregate increases hava about offset decreases. Soma Sawmill "DlacovsradY Some sawmills in Lane, county we're not even on the tax hooks, said Mr. Galloway. Others had not been valued for many years. There, was a "net .add" of about. 91 .10.000 on Lane saw mills, about $140,000 on Industries and1 a net euf of about 9.180,000 on bus iness properties, particularly those on North Willametta and in stagnant erese of the town.-1 In various businesses, notably bak eries, laundries, canneries he said the ; appraisers found serious disparities i m tha assessment of big and small concerns. In soma caaea tha nnwill ingnesa of owners to cooperate in living; information led to appraisals which might be. too high but tha com missions aiwaya would b willing to levin if proper facta wera given. . Mr. Galloway challenged tha theory that tba division of state costs might bo unfair because ha aays this figure for each county ia calculated in dol lar! and centa and not in mills, tha figure being reached by calculating tha "actual value" of all property in any state and measuring this against the "actual value" for the state, tb ratio of assessment in each county govern ing theto- calculations. Questioned as to how often theaa county ratios bad been revised or andited by the state commission, Mr. Galloway aaid that because of de pression flotations and lack of men, no very complete checkup had been mad for several years hut that tha policy in normal times ia to check the county's ratio by comparing tax valuations with all recorded aalea. To have a simultaneous and uniform readjustment of the entire state, Mr. Galloway said would require 200 men anr1 a vast appropriation; It would fake a force of 20 men ten years, and the present choice ia to do something or nothing. Questioned aa to tha need of more adequate financing and staffing of the state's work, Mr. Galloway con-' reded thnt Oregon la lagging; far be-! hind many states in this work, the j total appropriations for this work S being- only a fraction of those in j Washington.

The corn crop, it reported", was j entering the critical stage in many areas, although it bad not yet suf fered serious damage. Ia Iowa., the hi-art of the corn growing states, Meteorologist Charles , O. Reid, said that "very dry from now j on with temperatures of HM degrees or higher means irreparable injury ! and deterioration to the state's phn- 1 cipal crop. ! A furrher pmtur of the damage wrought by the terrific heat was given by Reid. "The grains have actually been cooked in the dough stage," be said in reporting that the oars and barley crops were reduced by half in the southern and western portions of the stare. "Much of tha crop ia not worth harvesting and is being pastured." Little Rain Needed However, an immediate return to normal temperatures, he added, would bring most of the corn through with out much rain. A similar picture could be drawn in the other great corn-producing states ' Illinois, Indiana and Nebraska hope for a crop provided the tem perature drops.

Lubin's repo rt continued, the wholesale prices of grains advanced per cent. This ad vance presaged a similar rise in the price of meat, which fa affected al most in direct ratio by thrt cost of livestock feed. Lubin snid higher prices aVso wre reported for cotton, apples, alfalfa hay. fresh milk at Chicago, peanuts, seed, dried beans and potatoes. Live stock and poultry rose 2-5 per cent.
