First estimates of the total assessment of, property in Multnomah County for the present year were far too low. The pre liminary footings were completed by As sessor Sigler yesterday afternoon and the entire amount of taxable property, real and personal, aggregates about J182, 600,000, or more than J12.O0O.00O higher than was thought probable. The per sonal roll, as it now stands, totals J43, 496,270. The real property, which was computed yesterday, amounts to J139.O80. 188. These are practically the figures which will be submitted to the Board of Equalization, although some changes will be made In the personal roll. The figures will be increased rather than lessened, as several large firms have not yet filed statements and are not included on the roll. In 1905 the total assessment for the county, before its submission to the Board of Equalization, amounted to tl47,313.797. After that body, had acted, it was reduced to $143,863,797. It is thought that the decrease made by the Board of Equalization will be far less this year. There are fewer arbitrary rulings, an3 it Is probable that com paratively few contests of assessment will be made. Ohio Society Meets.

Thompson was discharged yesterday from the police force by the Executive Board because of numerous charges which had been preferred against him.

FUST M IS KEPT Jewish Day of Atonement to Be Observed in Portland. Y0M KIPPUR CELEBRATED Solemn Religions Holiday Calls De votees to Temples Special Serv ices Fill Churches. With Worshipers. Yom Kippur, one of the most sacred of Jewisu religious holidays, is being observed by the Jewish citizens of Portland and all other cities of the country this week. Last evening; at 1 e'clock Kol Nidre services were ob served at Temple Beth Israel and Ahavi Sholom and today, the solemn day of atonement, there will be services both morning and afternoon, the congrega tion spending practically the entire day in the temples. The day of atonement is a fast day and can be literally interpreted as to its eigniticance. All the services con nected with the observance of Yom Kippur are remarkably impressive and solemn and the music is ancient and has been used for this special occasion for many years. Dr. S. S. Wise has never fiuring his long residence in Portland as pastor of Temple Beth Israel, . delivered a more eloquent or touching address than that of last night, the eve of atonement day. He took for his text "The Waters of the Jordan," symbolizing the waters as the original and perfect religion of Judea. He significantly pointed out that the waters of the famous river had been carried into every part of the world in the effort to create new faiths and 4sms," but that the only ef fective way to benefit by them Is to wash In the Jordan itself and remain faithful to the sacred beliefs of Judea. Again he admonished his congrega tion that is not possible to atone in one day for the sins of the other 364 days of a year, and that every disciple of Judea should come to the temple .on the sacred fast day with the knowledge In his heart that he has lived an up right and righteous life from day to day. His entire sermon was replete with the teachings of the Jewish reli gion and the advice of a pastor who has the welfare of every member of his congregation at heart. It was a rhetori cal gem and delivered with a masterful style which impressed the congregation and the many strangers present as a God-given message. Of the music connected with last night's services too much cannot be said. There is no doubt that Temple Beth Israel has now as good a choir as can be found in any city in the coun try, and the voices of the quartet, indi vidually and collectively, seemed es pecially well fitted to the highly dra matic style ft the Kol Nidre musical numbers. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, as leader and soprano, and Miss Fisher, as organist, remain of the former organi zation, the quartet being completed with Mrs. Imogene Harding Brodie, contralto; Arthur Alexander, tenor, and Dora J. Zan, baritone. All of the vocal music was sung in Hebrew and the solus in each number were especially beautiful. Mrs. Brodie's voice is well adapted to the big auditorium of the synagogue and is deep and rich, while Mrs. Bauer's dramatic soprano 1111 every corner of the great building. Mr. Alexander's fine tenor and Mr. Zan'o rich baritone complete one of the finest musical organizations ever heard in a Portland church. In addition to the singing the serv ice included a violin solo with organ accompaniment. Joseph Meredith Ro sencrantz, a young San Francisco vio linist, was the soloist for this, playing "Kol Nidre," arranged by Max Bruch. He has a broad even tone, which sounds more like the cello than the violin and his bowing is true and even. His playing was one of the features of the beautiful service. This morning at 10 o'clock the day of atonement services will be observed in the temple, and at 2:30 this afternoon, between the Mlnchah and Neilah serv ices, the memorial services will be held, in which prayers for the dead are of fered. Dr. Wise will deliver an address at this hour on "Death's Truer Name" and the music will again be a beautiful feature. There will be two English an thems on this occasion, one being "Hold Thou My Hand," by Gounod, and the other "It Is God's Way." by Bartlett. WaldemarLind, Violinist at the Heilig THE WALDEMAR LIND concert at the Heilig last evening, opened the local musical season in a most auspi cious manner. The theater was com fortably filled with a fashionable and critical audience, which was unusually liberal in its applause of the brilliant programme given. Mr. Llnd's playing of the violin was an agreeable surprise to most of the musicians present, as he has not been prominently"before the public. During the existence of the Belasco stock com pany he directed the orchestra, but has been heard very little In solo work. The purpose of the concert was to bring Mr. Lind prominently before the public, and was a complimentary testi monial by his fellow-musicians. He is an artist of rare attainments, and his work last night established him among local music patrons. The concert was opened by Mr. Lind, who gave Vleuxtemps Concerta No. 4 In D minor1, which was well received. The Lakme Quartet, one of the best combinations of women's voices in the Northwest, directed by Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, sang an Irish '" folksong by Foote. and as a second number gave WeiUa "Spring Song." Mrs. Walter Reed sang "Le Chevalier Belle-Etolle' in especially good voice, and was followed by Mr. Lind, who played a group consisting of Tschai kowskys "Serenada Melancollque," Tenagha's Aria and Paganini's "La Campanella." Dom Zan was heard to splendid advantage in Dudley Buck's "Sunset." Mrs. Reed contributed two more numbers, "Barcarolle," by Rogers, and Clutsam's "Woodland Croon Song." "Tristan and Isolde," as sung by Ar thur Alexander, proved one of the most delightful numbers, and Mr. Lind com pleted the programme by playing Send ing's Concerto No. 1 in A. The receipts were quite satisfactory and artistically the concert was a de cided success. BEACH RATE REDUCED. O. B. N. Makes T-ow Rata to North Beach Point..

The Reed-Frencif Piano SIXTH AND BURNSIDE divorce for iviutes Couple Sundered-on Evidence Interpreted by Child. WIFE CHARGES DESERTION James Musgrove's Ijove Soon Waned. Judge Frazer Releases Two Other Couples to Whom Bonds Had Grown Irksome. When the case of Musgrove against Musgrove was called in Judge Frazer's department of the State Circuit Court yes terday morning, those present received ocular demonstration that while love may laugh at locksmiths, Dan Cupid is a novice in the game of committing bur glary on human hearts when pitted against the demon of domestic infelicity. Both the plaintiff and defendant in the action are deaf mutes, and Mrs. Clara Musgrove sued her husband James R. Musgrove." for a dlvorse on the ground of desertion and failure to provide. What made the case all the more in teresting was the fact that Bertha Flearty,- the bright-faced little 10-year-old daughter of the plaintiff by a former mar riage, acted as interpreter? and her deft fingers retold with tragic emphasis the harrowing tale of discord as it fell from her parent's tremulous digits. According to the testimony of Mrs. Mus grove a3 thus revealed, the couple were married here June 27, 1904. After living together about three weeks, the husband grew tired of the bargain and deserted her. When Judge Krazer in his kindly way asked the plaintiff if she knew where her husband was, as soon as his Inquiry had been communicated to her she ex ecuted a war-dance with both hands around her head, and the little girl re plied that she was in, Ignorance as to his whereabouts. Theire was no Issue of the marriage, and to the court Mrs. Musgrove wig-wagged that it was her In tention to return to her father in the East, if given the decree. Mrs. Martha White, another deaf mute, corroborated the plaintiff's testimony, as did also the matron of the Salvation Army Rescue Home, where she has" been residing of late. She has also been aided by the City Board of Charities, and Mrs. Millie R. Trumbull, its sup erintendent, declared that Mrs. Musgrove is a worthy woman. Upon this showing. Judge Frazer quick ly granted the divorce, and suggested the remittance of all fees in the case, which was done. The same court also severed the bonds of matrimony existing between Martha J. Wilcox and John Wilcox, incidentally taking occasion to call the attention of the authorities to the sworn statement of Mrs. Wilcox that her husband had been in the habit of compelling their 16-year-old son to drink intoxicating liquors, and thrashing him when he refused. According to her testimony, they were married at Leon, Decatur County, Iowa, April 18. 1SS9, and have one son, Willie Victor Wilcox, who was born June 6, 1S90. For the past 15 years they have been residing here, and Mrs. Wilcox owns their home at Lents. It developed that while the divorce proceedings were pend ing, Mr. Wilcox also occupied a portion of the family residence there, although under judicial restriction that he should be restrained from abusing the plaintiff. Mrs. Wilcox detailed many brutal acts of her husband, her testimony in this respect being corroborated by the son and Charles Warren, a cousin. The custody of the boy was also awarded to her. . f A divorce was likewise granted Minnie J. Houghton from George W. Houghton, whom she married here in June, 1887, al though Judge Frazer was rather dubious about the matter, as desertion was the only charge, and the court considered it very strange that a couple could not get along amicably after living together 19 years.

Armstrong, president of the Port land Business College, brought suit in the State Circuit Court yesterday against the Etlers Piano House and T.
