Simpson of Portland this week in forming her of the death of her father, Mr. M. N. Keck after a short illness with BrightB disease, at Bellevue Ohio. Mr, Keck and family were for many years residents of Albany. His wife and eeven children survive him. Mrs. Keck, Helen, Deborah and Crystal live in Bellevue, Mrs. G. W. Simpson at Portland, Mrs. W. A. Mack et Pendle ton, and Newton and Mifllin at Chicago, Assessed Too Low. Timber land in Linn county is ftseesBed at $2 and less an acre, perbapB . some slightly more. It is the same else where in tbe state. The Democrat calls the attention of the county officials to the fact that this is too low compared with the assessment of other property. Good timber land is worth at least $15 an acre. As consid erable of this land is owned by outsiders it is only right that the assessment should be in keeping with that of other property.
