TICKET Assessments of Timber Lands. matters referred to above as it would seem to that a great deal of the tim ber lands in this county have been placed on the 1914 assessment roll considerably below its cash value and also out of proportion of other class es of property. During the last few days I have talked to a number of people who are interested in timber in this county and it seems to be the general opinion that timber that is accessable to the P. R. & N. R. R. or water transporta tion is worth from 75c- $| 0° Per 1000 feet quality being the same, more than the timber located along the headwaters of the Kelchis, Trask, and Wilson Rivers. After you have made a full investi gation of the above matters referred to 1 would ask you to make whatever changes in the valuations of the dif ferent classes of property that you consider fair and equitable. If you wish me to turn over to you any information or letters relating to this matter please advise me. Respct. yours, W. G. Dwight. Circuit Court Cases.
