where It relates to this year's crops,
and the farmers of the Willamette
valley are ready to admit that they
have in years past devoted too much
attention to raising a single crop,
namely, wheat. Their hops, fruit
and livestock have only been side
issues, and thought to be of little
consequence.- But farmers in this
section, the most favored naturally,
■ if any land on earth, are coming to
the realization of the fact that a
greater diversity is their immediate
salvation. Wheat will give place to
meadows and pasture. Farms will
be cut up into smaller fields that can
be pastured to a better advantage.
The dairy interests will be separate
and distinct from the beef producing
interests in the introduction of the
peculiar grades of cattle best suited
to each, and then the great Willam
ette valley can grow livestock a great
deal more cheaply than can eastern
Oregon, whose outside ranges are be
coming barren, and where stock
must be fed during four or five
months each year. Stock growing
will be much more profitable than
wheatraising, andean be carried on
at less expense w-hen once fully in

What has become of Umatilla county’s
property values? They have gone down
$1,500,000 in one year. What are the
causes? They are not far to seek. Take
d peep over the Cascades.
Last year the Willamette valley and
Portland assessors cut down the assess
able values of their taxable property and
refused to be raised. Other parts of the
state complained, but to noavail. Again
this year the same rates are being ap
plied west of the Cascades, but what is
happening on this side of the mountains
can be ascertained by examining Assess
or George Buzan’s books of this county.
He has reduced assessments by about 25
per cent, which makes a total of about
$1,500,000 less than the total valuation of
last year. Mr. Buzan says he and other
eastern Oregon assessors at the state
meeting last winter endeavored to come
to some agreement with western Oregon
assessors, but could obtain no satisfac
tion. lie -has himself acted indepen
dently and supposes that other assessors
have done likewise, in reducing the as
sessments to keep pace with the western
part of the state. He says the prevailing
opinion is that this must be done. East
ern Oregon does not desire to pay more
than its share of state taxes, and this ap-
jiears to be the only means of self-pro
tection.
