ASSESSORS RAISE RAILROAD VALUATIONS Place Southern Pacific Road at $19,000 Per Mlle-Asse.eor Fallen Raises Valuations, County Assessor W. H. Fallin did not attend the assessor' convention held in Albnay Monday for the reason that be did not think the session would accomplish anything. He baa attended these convention before and the assessors would agree on a basis of valuation and then In making np their roll go on an entire different basis. This Albany convention was attend ed by the assessors of Multnomah, Clackamas, Marion, Polk, Linn, Lane, Douglas and Benion and it principal object was to fix basis of valuation for railroad, Pullman car and tele- pone and telegraph line. Under the schedule adopted railroad roadbed will be assessed at $16,000 a mile and roll ing stock at , .'(000 per mile. Here after in all the Willamette Valley oounties railroads have been assessed at about $0000 per mile. But Multno mah oounty last year raised valuations on all property and put railroads at $30,000 a mile. Josephine county was the next highest assessment, Assessor Fallin placing a valuation of $13,000 on the railroads. The third highest in valuation was Jackson county were Assessor Applegate raised the rail roads to $10,000 a mile. Assessor Fallin will make no mater ial change in valuations on the assess- met roll for this year other than to correct such inequalities as may be found. Last year he assessed all property at about two-third of its value except railroads which though greatly increased was not up to the two-third basis. This year he will probably raise the railroad to$!9,. 000 per mile if the . other assessor of Oregon adopt that basis. Next year he intends to assess all property in Josephine county at it full value. This basi will be more fair to prop erty owners and it will give the oounty a better standing with Invest or a it will show a low tax rate and a wealthy oounty. Assessor Fallin has his field work all completed for this year except for the Illinois Val ley and he and Deputy Assessor D. E. Dotson will go to Kerby Monday to assess that part of the county, which will take about two weeks. Men Wanted. 8a mill and lumber yard laborers, $2.25 per day. Woodsmen $3.25 to $3. Steady work.
