PORTLAND, ORE. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiauiuiiiiuiiiuiiiwiniiiiiiniwi4iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiu in I VALUATION THIS YEAR IS HIGHEK THAN LAST. More Property Listed This Year and Many Changes made In the Valua tions of Land. The assessment for Umatilla coun ty and Pendleton for thn yut- isno has been completed and the- field dep- uiros nave turned In their books to County Assessor George Buzan. It will bo weeks beforo thn nrt amount -of the assessment is known, but It Is said the amount will total quite a little more than the assess ment of last year. Mr. Buzan has. been wnrlHni since being placed in office to cot an equal assessment on all property according to its exact value. Of COUrSe this Is miltfi a tnafc nnri sidering the fact that all values have ueen taKen heretofore at what the owner saw fit to nlaco unon his nmn-i erty, it involves more or less care to get uiings equal. Some values oav been lowered, where thn ns:rsn. thought it was placing thn v. one man's property a lit.ln nh. v what the property adjoining him wr vaiuca at, uut in few cases has nv thing been taken off but almost everything saw a raise. Again, the assessing has been gone at m a more systematic way than ever befoe. Blanks wero prepared in advance for every pieco of proper ty in the county and every man who had land registered as deeded was found. The increased assessment on values will cause a general voice of approval from almosfr all taxpayers, and while it will raise some individ ual taxes a little it will be better for them In the long run, for the money paid into the county this way will go toward paying off the indebtedness of the county and stop the large in terests the taxpayers are paying. The assessment this year was sev eral weeks later than usual, which was owine to the nrenarinir of thn blanks spoken of above and it makes a little more worK in transferring the assessment to the rolls, but one sat isfaction in doing it is in knowing that every mian owning property got it assessed. It will be several weeks before this work is completed in the office, but several deputies will be busy at this after the 26th and It is expected that they will havo it com ploted by the time for the sitting of tne equalization board in AukusL when all errors ore supposed to bo tcUusted by the board.

The early closing movement is again being agitated, and tho ques tion is occupying tho minds of tho clerks as woll as tho -merchants Thursday afternoon a committee from the local Clerks' Union, consist lng of Mrs. A. M. Clark. J. C. Allen and W. H. Harrison, waited upon all tho merchants of tho town and asked them to sign a potltlon agreeing to close at 6 o clock. This was signed by most of the merchants, but a few refused. The clerks commlttco will endeavor to get all to sign the agree ment. If these few who are opposed to closing, continue to refuso to sign tho petition, what the outcomo will be is hard to determine. Tho clorks think they are working too many hours and are asking for a chance to have a little time from behind tho counter. This is their idea, and while they ask for tho shorter hours, they are not attempting anything that will In tentionally injure tho merchants, as they contend that just as many goods will bp sold from 8 o'clock in tho morning to 6 In the evening as will if the stores stay open day and night. A great many of the busntess men look at the thing in the same light, and nre anxious to close, but a few cannot close without loss to them selves, If some stay open.
