THE O. E. ft H. CO.-S PETITION.
An Eighteen Hnndred Dollar Per Mile Re
daction Asked For-Sheep and
Croats EunaltKed.
From the Salem Statesman,
At yesterday's meeting of tbe state
board ot equalization, Abio 3. Watt, tax
agent of tbe reoeiver of tbe O. B. & N.
tail way oompaoy, presented a petition
asking the board to oorreot the assess
ment of tbe company's track valuation
in Gilliam county by reducing tbe same
from $4,800 per mile for tbe main line
and S3, 800 on the Heppner branch to
$4,000 on the main line and $3,000 on the
other; also a relative reduction in agri
cultural lands; also asking a roil notion
of the assessment of rolling stock in the
same county. His petition was fortified
by many plausible reasons presented in
a most engaging and gentlemiuly man
ner. F. W. Benson, olerk of D mglas county,
addressed the board, but hml no p'irtia
ular request to moke, except t suggest
that borses in bis county were listed
rather high .
Tbe event of tbe day in tbe li .e of elo
quence aud argument, was the presenta
tion made by Hon. H. H. Northrop, the
well-known legislator, at present county
judge of Multnomah couuly. He took
tbe board in imagiuxtlon through nil the
multifarious suburban additions to the
metropolis; through tbe abiudoned
business streets of tbe city; through the
elephantine blocks reoently ereoted there
and illustrated the necessity fur the val
uations, claiming thai the ten million
reduotion in tbe Multnomah roll from
last year was more than justified by
present conditions.
An equalization of tbe valuation of
sheep and goats was made on tbis basis:
There was no change made in those
counties whose assessment was $1.09
per head or lees, and all other counties
were reduced to as near $1 as 5 per cent
or a multiple ot 5 would bring them,
which 1' aves tbe valuations as follows:
baker, Clatsop, Ooos, Ourry, Crook,
Douglas, Gilliam, Graut, Harney, Jose
phine, Klamath, Lake, Morrow, Mult
nomah, Sherman, Umatilla, Wallowa,
and Wasco counties, $1 per bead; Ben
ton and Clackamas, $106; Folk, $1 07;
Lane, Malbenr, Washington and Yam
hill, $1.05; Jackson, $104; Linooln, Linn
and Tillamook, $1.03; Marion and Union,
$1.02; Columbia, $1.01.
A partial equalization of borses was
reached. In tbe following counties tbe
valuation was allowed to atand as re
turned by the oounties: Curry, $20 89;
Clatsop, $23.83; Lane, $27.60; Linooln,
$24.62; Multnomah, $16 99; Tillamook,
$24.14; Washington, $31.87; Yamhill,
$31.04. A reduotion of ten per cent was
made in Clackamas unci Coos counties,
leaving tbe first $28.04 and tbe latter
$25.38. Benton and Columbia were re
duced 15 per cent, leaving them $27 24
and $27.32 respectively. . Douglas was
reduced 20 per cent to $27.72; Linn was
increased 25 per cent to $27.90; Polk was
inoreased 20 per oent to $30.90, and
Marion was raised 15 per oent to $30.62.
A reduction was made in Sherman,
Umatilla, Union and Wasco to as to
bring tbe valuation ot horses as near $15
each aa 5 per cent or ita even multiple
will make.
The foregoing figures are not neoea
sarily final simply preliminary, and do
not reaob all tbe counties yet.
Messrs. Wills, Watkine and Wood
cock were the committee to arrange tbe
state into districts for tbe classification
ot sheep.
Messrs. Hunter, Wingate and Auldon
were the oommittee to district the state
for the classification of swine, and they
reported that the whole state be taken
together.
Ringing Noises
In tbe ears, sometimes a roaring buzz
ing sonnd, are oaused by oatarrh, that
exceedingly disagreeable aud very oorn
mon disease. Loss of smell or head
ing also result from catarrh. Hood's
Sarsapurilla, the great blood puiifier,
is a peculiarly sooefssful remedy for
this disease, which it cures by pnrifiiog
