' Mr. and Mrs. H. Morton Holbrook and I Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Moe. of Hood River, Sees Where Oregon and Portland, In Particular, Will Benefit Greatly by Orossway. Hundreds of organizations, civic, commercial and fraternal, in Multno mah County are Joining In the cam paign in behalf of the Interstate Bridge bond issue which will come to a vote in the November election, and the campaign is to be prosecuted with greater activity In the coming week than at any previous time since Its beginning. The campaign is to reach its culmi nation in the great interstate bridge day parade which will be held Novem ber 1 and the banquet of the North Portland Commercial Club, which will be held on the evening of the same day and to which all clubs will be in vlted to send ' representatives. Not only will all organizations of Mult- . nomah County participate in the move ment, but Vancouver Is preparing to take an active share in both the parade and the banquet, and speakers from that city will urge the voters of Mult nomah County to meet Clarke County naif way, since that county already has voted its share of the proposed bridge fund. Prominent business men of the coun ty continue to send into the head quarters of the association their en dorsements of the bridge plan and these communications are being made effective use of in the campaign work. Griffith Approves Croaaway. That the interstate bridge will be an Important factor In the develop ment of the city of Portland, and bring witnin reacn or the business center a large territory not now available, 1 the opinion of Franklin T. Griffith, president or tne Portland Railway, T.lo-ht JR. n ... n .. W It is his contention that rapid trans portation Is the most important factor in the growth of cities, and the con structlon of a bridge across the Co lumbia would furnish means of com' munication for the carrying of pas sengers to and from Clarke County wmcn would lead to the further growth of the contiguous country as well as provide Increased business in the retail district of Portland. "The conditions," said Mr. Griffith, "surrounding the bond issue for the construction of the Columbia River bridge are favorable to the taxpayers or Portland. Under its provisions Ore' gon will pay the Interest charges, and Portland the principal, when It be comes due. The principal can be taken and Mrs. TP, care or by means of a sinking fund I kane. Wash, spreaa over a period of 30 years, and in sucn a manner that the cost will hardly be felt. Our present valuation for taxable purposes is $300,000,000. ine proposed bond Issue for thl bridge Is Jl, 250,000. A levy of one tenth of a mill upon the J300.000.000 will produce J 3 0,000. which, with the Increased valuation which will follow from year to year, will produce a Buf- ncient amount to take care of the In vestment. The cost, In my opinion, will not be burdensome, and the advan tages which we -srill reap, will prove it to be one of the most progressive movements tne city has ever under taken. "All Should Support Plan." "There are parts of the city where the direct benefit will not be felt, but tne indirect advantages are so appar ent that no one should withhold his support Measures of this kind are for the general publio benefit and all should admit the right of such tax ation where the greatest good reaches tne greatest number. "The company that I represent now operates a ferry from Vancouver to the end of the streetcar Jine. The con struction of a bridge would end the usefulness of the ferry and the revenue derived would be eliminated, but we are more intensely interested in the POPULAR GIRL OF WASCO COUNTY DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS. & ., ' -SWH - ..'., i :tr- Jy : Era Genevieve Knoyvlea.

J. B. Walker was arrest ed last night by Detective Howell, and is held for the Federal authorities, charged with complicity In the bur glary.

For that reason, we think that the benefits to be derived are greater than any loss which would ensue from the dlscontin nance of the ferry.

PATTERSON LEAVES In the annual assessment roll of Multnomah County, completed yester day by Assessor Reed, an Increase of $4,689,350 is shown in the 1913 assessed valuation of county property over the valuation of 1912. The 1913 assess ment roll totals $308,683,515, as com pared with $303,993,166 in 1912. Neither of these totals includes Multnomah s apportionment of the tax levy on pub lic service corporations, which is made by the State Tax Commission. Last year this tax was $31,118,909. " If the apportionment is the same this year, the total roll when completed will amount to approximately $340,000,000, as compared to $335,112,074 last . year. The increase in the total roll is more than accounted for by the Increase In city and town lots and improve ments on lots. The 1913 assessment on land values was $177,627,950, as com pared to $175,471,295 in 1912, an In crease of $2,156,655. The Increase in mprovements is $4,638,125, the assess ments for 1913 and 1912 being $56,373, 695 and $51,735,470, respectively. Broadway Shows Increase. The greatest increase was in Broad way and riverfront properties, where a general Increase in valuations was made, and assessments on club prop erties and accounts of foreign corpo rations. The completion of the new Broadway bridge and the general j uliding activity on Broadway from Taylor street to the bridge are the causes for the upward tendency of the Broadway properties, while general business activities and harbor and river Improvements have caused the in creased valuations along the river. The increase In some Instances was more than 6 per cent The half block on which the new Morgan building has een erected was raised from $605,000 to $623,000, the Portland Hotel land valuation was Increased from $839,000 to $872,000, the property on which the new Northwestern National Bank building is belna- erected has- Increased from $484,000 to $520,000 and. other properties along Broadway have shown similar increases. Other general gains and a few losses in valuation have een occasioned by readjustments. These changes, however, have been small. The greatest single loss In valuation occurred by reason of the new exemp tion on household furniture, in do mestic use. This one item showed a ecrease of $5,740,630, the 1913 assess ment being $1,421,630 as compared with $7,162,255 for 1912. Land Gains Marked, The statement shows a material in crease in the tillable and non-tillable lands of the county. In 1912 only 176, 006 acres were shown on the assess ment roll as compared with 231,714.1 this year. This big Increase is ac counted for by the fact that this year all government land in forest reserve, totaling more than 40,000 acres, Is put on the assessment roll for the first time. ' This government land Is not Included for assessment purposes, be ing non-assesslble, but simply to show the location and ownership of the land. Mr. Reed said yesterday that he would mall a complete report to the State Tax Commission, which sits to morrow at Salem as a board of equal ization. Mr. Reed prides himself on the fact that he has been able to complete his assessment roll and have his report In the- hands of the State Commission when It meets tomorrow. Complete Roll Is GJven.
