The East Oregonian reports that Umatilla County’s total property value climbed from about 18 million to 48 million dollars over ten years, with 400,000 additional acres on the tax roll and a rise of 50 percent. However cattle numbers fell by 1,000 and sheep by 66,000, while horse counts rose by 6,570, signaling stronger land value but weaker live stock wealth. The assessor warns Salem plans to seize railroad and public service properties for state taxation, risking a quarter of local taxable property and raising taxes locally.
