At ye**ciday'» morning and afternoon
ituioM of the Preabytartan «ynod mat
tHTM of a routine nature occupied the
t.rae of the gathering, while tbe evening
session was given over to short and timely
H.-', by attending m.aiste't.
Of the two most important matters con
sidered yesterday, one occupied nearly
the whole of the afternoon, and the other
was left for final action on 41 ruiay. The
lirst was the re-eiection of Rev. Thomas
M. Oma, of this city, as synodlcal m!«-
Monary. This carried with it the continu
ance of this very impcrtant branch of the
church work. Dr. «.unn has been the mis
sionary of this synod since it* organixa
tlon a«v»>n years ago. He has lately es
tablished headquarters in this city. Dr.
Guun travels on an average of 12.000 ml; s
yearly over the country embraced by the
district of Washington, which inclui:*
Northern Idaho, Washington and Alas
ka, F*w men are betMf acquainted with
ti»e resources and the people of Washing
ton than he.
The other matter rcfered to wm the
proposed removal of the Whit worth col
lege to Port Townwnd. This was laid be
fore tne nynod by the report of the corn
mitt** on aid for colleges at the morning
•• ••lon. The synod did not s<> Into the
merits of the q .estior. at that time, pre
ferring to leave it until Monday.
*rn<MlieNl MUilfinnrj ft*- (•Irelfd,
R*v. Thoma.i M. Ounn, synodical mis
sionary fur the Presbyterian Synod of
Washington, was yesterday re-elected to
the office which he Has held for nearly
twelve years. Dr Gunn's election was a
source ot great gratification to his friend.*.
it was brought about after a lengthy
<l.<ruMion over the advisability of discon
tinuing the office ahogether. Thi* was
one of the main questions to come before
the synod. It was decided, after pro
tracted debate, to continue the office for
another year, and in the meantime to call
upon the four preab> terirs in the district
to express their wishes In the matter, to
report at the next meeting of the synod.
The matter was brought up by the re
p rt of the committee on bills and over
tures. whi<*h conveyed the information
• hat the Olympia and Puget Suund pres
h/teri a had petitioned that the office be
abolished. A minority report against the
abolishment of the <>fTk < accompanied the
majority report, which favored It.
Then began the debate, in which both
•ides exhausted their arguments. No
e?;>ecia! heat was manifested, and it did
not appear that the issue was raised on
a -count of any personal feeling In the
matter. The r< asons by those ad
vocating the majority report were that
the separate presbyteries and ministers at
large ought to be well able to take care
of the work, and that the money allowed
by the board of home missions for the
missionary's salary and traveling ex
panses should be spent In other direction.-'.
Rev. Mr. A. L. Hutchison presented »n
amendment to the effect that the synod
continue the office for another year, and
in the meantime ask the f<»ur presby
teries to submit their wishes in the prem
ised.
The fact was hrought cut that the rep
resentative® from Eastern Washington
opposed the majority report of the com
mittee They Insisted that the office was
ne«-«>s*ary to the cau*e of the church and
cited many Illustrations In Dr Gunn's
work to show that promising fields would
have been lost but for his efforts.
Dr J R sujrgeat»d that Sf
Fistern Waahlnrton wanted a aynodlcal
missionary, the delegates from that •ra
tion ml*ht nominate one and the ay nod
■would elect him He declared that the
services of the tr»wl!rf mi alonary wer#
not ne«d<-d In Western Washington.
r>r, Roberta brought the fa.-t tn the at
tention of the evnod that cvm If the of
fice were abolished the full amount of the
appropriation by the hoard of home mis
sions would not he sp'nt In this synod,
but for the benefit of the church at lars*!
Rev. Mr Gilchrist said that the whole
T-ol • y of the rtaurch tn this respect was
w >n«r He advocated plae'r* the respon
e 1 illty for the miss'nns w'th the com
n '!>-•i of the vario i« pr* sb\ teris« and
♦he ministers at lar*« He cited fi*urea
showir.* that In th»« pa«' seven years flf
»\ churches had been org unlf-d and
twenty-four bad o!*d.
!>v. M W Condi' replied by stat:n<
that ■ ' »h- t*' -!tv? but "v#n had died
tn Eastern Washington ant the remain
der In Ti>at««rn Washington. wh<*re. It had
b »n staled, there was no need fir tha

An Error in the Levy.

That the People of Kin* County

Assessment Appear* Two Time*.
By an error in either the county audi
tor s office or one made by the stare board
of equalization K.ng county taxpayers
this year will los a just $-- >7O 97. They are
going to be forced to pay a d.uble tax on
$2, j*<27o. the aggregate equalized valuation
of " railroad track" in King county.
B. A. Knapp. the assistant county audi
tor, either made i mistake in sending his
figures of the assessment to the state
board, or else the latter miscalculated his
computations. Exactly who is to b.ame
is not known yet; each says the other :s
the cause of the error.
The mistake was made on so exceedingly
simple an affair that these who are up in
figures wonder how t could nave happent d
at all. It was discovered by the commis
sioners yesterday when they were getting
ready to fix the levy It seems that Knap|»
was supplied by the state board with a
blai.k form on w :-h he was to enter the
\aiuatlons of K;::g county property as
found by the county equalizers. Among
tho«e amour;:s so furnished on the blank
heaaed "Abstract of As.- sment of Real
Property" were the follow ng:
Aggregate valua of lands, including im
provements. as equaliaed. 111.315.376;
Aggregate equalized value of town or
city lots, including improvements, $25,-
T92TXI6;
Aggregate equalized value of all real
property. Including Improvements, except
"railroad tra k." srs (23,6^2:
Assrresat* equalized value of "railroad
track." 52.055.270;
equal zed value of real estate
and "railroad track," 13T.111.582.
In the first two amounts was included
the $2.055,270. "railroad track" assessment,
but the state hoard either did not know
it or purposely added it again, for it has
Veen placed in the total as though it were
not mentioned previously.
Chairman Ryan said yesterday that he
and Prosecuting Attorney McElroy were
at the meeting of the state b »ard. but the
mistake was not noticed at that time. "It
is a matter between Knapp and the state
board." said Mr Ryan. "Either Knapp
made a mistake in sending his figures to
the state board, or the latter made a mis
take in computing Knapp's figures. That
J2.065.270 placed on a line by itself was
simply a segregation of the totals $11,319,-
376 and $25,75<2,506. and should in no way
be added to them, as it had been counted
before. I think the state board is not suf
ficiently clear In its form*: they are easily
liable to be misunderstood.
"There are two bases for our taxation:
One for the county and one far the state.
We fix the total valuation for county par
poses, without regard to the state board
of equalization. This double payment will
be made for state purposes only."
Even if this last statement should be
correct, the loss *o county taxpayers
would be $11,517.55. figuring at tho levy of
.0057069 on a valuation of $43.6?>3,7,~.3. as
adopted. But it is generally considered
that the double taxation will be at the
regular 11-m!)l rate
Commissioner Nickerson said that the
taxpayers would have no recourse in the
courts against this double payment, as
the "state board would claim that King
county had to pay so much money, any
way. and it made no difference how the
taxes were apportioned."
B. A. Knapp could not be found last
night for his statement.
