ho In order to properly look after the
farming property which they have
acquired there, and It Is their Inten
tion to devote their time to that
work henceforth. However, they
are still the owners of considerable
real estate In Pendleton, and will
make occasional visits to this place.
Don't Forget.

lished a permanent office In Pendle
ton, 106 East Alta street
T. L. DUN8MORE,
Manager.
Kx-tlovernor McConnell, who Is In
the city from Moscow for a brief visit,
expresses himself as very much dis
satisfied with the recent action of the
state officers, sitting as an equaliza
tion board, In raising the assessment
of land over the stale, while making
almost an infinitesimal Increuse in the
valuation placed upon the railroads at
the state. v
"Figures compiled by the fedchul
government." asserted the ex-governor
in speaking of the matter, "show
ed beyond any cavil that the railroads
last year were assessed at only 11 per
lent of their commercial valuation.
The figure on the main lines up In
the north was 39000 per mile, and this
has been Increased to $9500 the pres
ent year, which figures out by simple
proportion to be Just 11.61 per cent,
or an increase of nearly two-thirds of
one per cent of the commercial valu
ation. "Meanwhile the land over the state
has been Increased from 6 per cent
in our own county (Latah) to 25 per
cent in Kootenla, and cattle and other
property of the farmers of the state
has been assessed up to Its full value.
Cows, for illustration, are valued for
purposes of taxation, at $18 per head.
"The assessment of railroads at
11.61 per cent of their commercial
valuation, as fixed by the government,
is a trifle over one-ninth of their true
value. Then, to keep the proportion
good, unless the farmer has been as
sessed as greatly more than his share,
the cow of the poor family that Is
Just carving out a home must actual
ly be worth nine times the assessed
valuation, $18, or the enormous sum
of $162.
"I understand the land here In Ada
county averages an assessment of $13
per acre and even at that was raised
10 per cent by the state board. Thut
makes the land of the county actually
worth, for commercial purposes,
something in the neighborhood of
$125 per acre, Including the new land
on the outskirts, Just being reclaimed
from the deesrt.
"There is some talk, also, of ex
empting new railroads from taxation
for a period of five years or so, in ad
dition to all the other privileges.
There Is surely as much reason, or
more. In exempting the land of new
settlers, and of throwing the entire
burden of taxation upon those pion
eers who have braved the dangers of
early days and wrought order out of
chaos, In order that these same rail
roads and new settlers might have a
glorious young state to come to.
"I don't know what all these things
will end In, but It seems to me there
will necessarily come a change, that
the people will not submit to It. 1
am a republlcnn and expect to re
main a republican, but It Is surely
true that something must be done, or
that the state will not remain as It
now It, politically."
TEXAS I .AMDS OPENED.
Six Million Acre Will lie Taken by
Afluul Settlor;..
Austin, Texas. Sept. 15. About ,
000.000 acres of state lunus, situated
In various parts of the state and here
tofore mostly under lease for cattle
grazing purposes, were placed on the
market for actual settlers under a law
passed by the last session of the legis
lature, today. The cattle men have
Ijeen strongly opposed to the sale of
those land and predict that the with
drawal of them from pasture purposes
will work great Injury to the cattle
Industry of this state.
Under the law which goes Into ef
fect today, the state lands are to be
sold to actual settlers in tracts of from
one to eight sections. The price Is $1
an acre, payable In 40 annual Install
ments, with 3 per cent Interest. Each
purchaser must live upon the land for
three years to acquire title. After the
sale of these lands that state will still
own about 12,000,000 ncres, which Is
under lease to the cattle men.
