BENTON'S
ASSESSMENT.
FINCH'S TRIAL i HARRiSBURG
SHINGLES.
The Times:
If figures count, Benton county really
does not amount to much. According
to official - computation at the court
houso, the whole works from beginning
to end is worth only $5,113,480 and it
takes a $5 dog to bring it up to that
total. We have tillable land l worth oi
an average of $23 an acre and five times
as much non-tillable worth $5 an acre.
We have $15,610 in cash and we don't
know what to do with that. The mer
chandise in Benton county reaches the
enormons total of $137,095-yet Phil
omath's enterprising merchants would
get insulted if any but the assesor ap-
raised their stocks at that amount. A
ozen firms in this city have stock that,
collectively, are woith more money
than that.
That there is only $15,610 coin of he
realm in this connty seems slightly ab
surd. Postmaster Jehnson alone carries
that much money around in his jeans
all the time.
We make the BEST. Every bunch
branded with our name. Look for it.
Our No. I's are the only first class
shingles in this market.
We make three grades, pack them
closely and use n dry kiln. , A shingle
