" $1.25 THE YEAR DOG VALUES VARY WITH COUNTY LINES Highs, Lows and Intermediates Run Be tween Extremes, According to Who Does Assessing Salem, Ore., Jan. 19.—If you are a resident of Union county, and if you own a dog, and if it is an aver age Union county dog, that dog is worth $50.83. But if you live in Clatsop county and own an average dog there, your canine property is worth only $2. These respective valuations are set by the respective assessors of the two counties named and equaliz ed by their respective boards of equalization. The figures are taken from the summaries of assessment rolls of Oregon counties, as compil ed by the State Tax Commission. They represent the two extremes of canine valuation in Oregon. Be tween these extremes of highest and lowest there are a lot of inter esting highs, lows and intermedi" ates. Average value of a dog in Mult nomah county, for instance, is $11.- 58; in Tillamook, $22.65; Washing ton, $6.25; Yamhill $5.02; Marion, $29.05; Lincoln, $28.57; Malheur, $4.06; Curry, 450; Lane $16.82. According to the assessor there are more dogs in Yamhill than in any other county of the state. They number 1828. Union county pays taxes on the lowest, 6. Multhomah pays property taxes on but 76 dogs, while Curry, the most sparsely popu lated county, pays taxes on 312 dogs. Clackamas, which adjoins Multnomah on one side, pays taxes on 1756 dogsand Hood River, which adjoins Multnomah on another side, pays taxes on but 108. Next to Yamhill and Clackamas, Linn pays taxes on the greatest number of dogs—1141.
