RIVBR COPRIBR, GRANTS TAX ROLL OPEN MONDAY Big Rebslt on Taxes If Paid By March 15th. County Clerk S. F. Cheshire and his deputy, T. P. Judson, will have the duplicate copy of the 1904 tax roll for Josephine county completed this Friday, and Saturday It will be turned over to Sheriff Geo. W. Lewis. Monday morning Sheriff Lewis will have all in readiness to receive taxes. Those paying before March 15, will be given a rebate of 3 per cent By paying one-half of the amount by the Bret Monday in April, a taxpayer can have until the first Monday in October in which to pay the remainder. The 3 per cent rebate Is not allowed on first half payments and if the second balf is not paid byOctober 2, a penalty of 10 per oent is added and a further penalty of one per oent per month from April 8, is added. Where no pay ment at all is made a penalty of 10 per oent is added to the amount of the taxes and a further penalty of one per cent per month dating from March 15, to the time the taxes are paid. With these heavy penalties on delinquents it behooves taxpayers to call at the sheriff's office promptly and to not de lay until the last day of grace is at hand, just before March 15, when the rush is liable to be so great that all can not get their receipts before the delin quent date. The total value of all taxable prop erty in Josephine oounty.as shown by the roll of 1904, is 3,084,0U5. For 11)03 it was $1,800,005, a gain for last year of $233,490.

Fallia has been at work for some time getting in readiness for making tho assessment for 1905, which he will begin on March 1. Ho is now correcting np the preseut ownership books of his olllco and hns filed a request with the United States laud office at Rose burg aud with the state lands board for a l'st of all government and state laud that has been patented dnring the past year. Before making his regular assessment of Grants Pass, Assessor Fallin will go over the city and asoertaiu tho location aud values of tho buildings erected during the past year. To accomplish this thoroughly, he will go over the city street by street aud from a porkot edition of his present ownership book and a plat of the city that shows the locatiou and value of all building' in the city on March 1, of last year, he will bo ahlo to locate all the new buildings. As many lots are owned by uou-rosidouts, the assessment of which is made iu the assessor's office, the only way to ascertain if houses have been built upon tliom is to per sonally inspect eaeh lot. The first year Mr. Tallin was In onloe, he found, when looking up the now houses, over 50 houses that had been overlooked by the previous assessor. In addition to his regular assess ment work Assessor rallin will be reqnird to take a census of the county this year. This work is sup posed to he ilone at tho same time tho assessment is mado, but as the secretary of statu has until May 1, to end out the blanks aud has not begun their printing yet, as the ivork was Id olf pending the session of the legislature, lest changes should be made iu the law, it will probably be some timo yet beforo the blauss will bo here aud Assessor Fallin may have to do extra work on the census.
