One protest coming from farmers in the Big Bend district brought out the disparity in valua tion between farms in the same lo calities. Charles Flegel. manager for the Eastern Oregon Land company was another protestant, showing that range lands were being valued at around $1 per acre whereas the act ual value was only $1.125 and that on a percentage basis the valuat ion was not equitable where farm ing lands were valued at around 50 per cent of their value. No action has been taken yet on the protests, but it is expected that the board will bring it’s session to an end the latter part of this week or the first part of next, when rec ommendations and definite action will be released. A. A. Selander, chief appraisal engineer for the State Tax Commission and two as sistants have been in the county making a survey of tax appraisals in the county for a report to the State Tax Commission. This survey has no bearing on the meeting of the county board. —Nyssa Fall Festival Sept. 6-7— Washington, D. C.
