Show ' County Assessor Reports Increase of $140,665 County Assessor Grange's report to thestate board of equalization embodied a healthy increase of $140,665 over the total valuation of last year, the 1915 va!u:uion amounting to $2,068,412 while the 1914 valuation was $1,927,747. The increase is due to a great extent to the clarification of the real property. Tnere is but one thing that shows up bid in the report and that is the unbelievable unbe-lievable total of but 7 acres of fruit land in the county, valued at a total of $375. It is evident that some of our citizens somewhere have been ducking on this item and at the expense of their county's wellfare. We brag of our excellent ex-cellent fruit-growing climate and soils and have some of the best orchards in the state to back up our claims, while here, in an official report which will be scattered broadcast throughout the country we are credited with a measly 7 acres of fruit land! For shame!
