When the fire was discovered the second time, it had gotten under such head way, that he could do nothing towards saving the house. But little of the contents were suved.

Won't Raise" the Assessment, In the matter of the raise of the assessed values of property of Linn county us returned by the stale board of equalization for the year of 1896: The order having been presented to the county court, by the secretary of slate, as authorized by the state board of equalization, raising the assessed valuation of all city and town lots 10 per cent, merchandise and aoeounts 10 per cent, and cattle 25 per cer.t,. from t he assessed values as enumerated on tiie assessment roll for 1800, as lawfully made and returned by the county assessor, and it appearing that this arbitrary and unjust raise of assessed values is not warranted by fact, justice, equity or law, and It further being shown conclusively lo the court that the property affoted by suid order is usseased by the county ussessor as by law required at their cash value, also realizing that it is the exception to find a net productive piece of property among the enumerated city and town lots on the basis ot present assessment, also having evldenoe that the cattle of Lino county are assessed at fully their cash value of today, and farther believing that the legally elected and qualified assessor of Linn county is a man more competent to judge of the true caBh value of : the property he views add assesses, than the state board of ssssesors, many of whom never set foot in Linn oounty, and also realizing that a compliance with this unwarranted aud Illegal order from the state board of equalization, would cause additional work on the assessment roll to the oost of $500, all of which would be wrung from the already heavily taxed property owners of Llnu county. It Is therefore order ed that the county clerk of Linn county, Oregon, be, and tie Is hereby directed to make no changes lu the values ot the properly enumerated iu the assessment roll of Linn county for the year of 1896, as wus equalized by the oounty board of equalization und Die county court.
