He was informed that Prince was run ning a barber shop for the negro A cut ot 10 per cent In the valua tion of 'hent land, the withdrawal of some unpatented land in govern ment Irrigation districts from the tax roll according to a court decree, and a lower assessment against banks are responsible for a cut o $3,379,007 from the assessed valuation of Uma tilla county this year, according to County Assessor R. O. Hawks, who has Just completed compiling the fig ures. The total valuation without the exemption of $54,910 to old soldiers and their widows, and without the public utility valuations, which are made by the state tax commission, is $44,132,449. The valuation ot util ities Is expected to amount to about $10,000,000. The reduction In assessments of banks comes about because of the fact that banks have in cases been com pelled to take over land on which they held mortgages, Mr. Hawks ex. plained. This land when taken over by banks Is not assessed. There Is a drop of $461,590 under the head of merchandise and stock In trade. The chief loss under this score cor us from the smaller stocks of v. heat held by farmers this spring under what they hel din 1921.
