NEW BUILDINGS PAID FOR COUNTY GROWS I FIVE MILLS LEVY IS DUE Iiarge Increase Necessary Over 1912 Is Due to Appropriations and Expenses Incurred by Last Legislature. SALEM, Or.. Nov. 8. (Special.) The tctal value of ' taxable property as equalized by the county boards of equalization in Oregon, not including the property of public service corpora tions which will be assessed by the State Tax Commission, for 1913 is $835. 263,527, according to an announcement of the Commission made tbis afternoon. The increase over 1912 is $42,173,346. Messrs. Baton and Galloway, State Tax Commissioners, stfid the levy which would be made December 1 would be about 6 mills, a large increase being necessary to meet the appropriations and other expenses of the last session of the Legislature. The lowest levy in the history of the state was in 1912, it being 1.2 mills, and the highest was 7 mills In 1904. It was more than 6 mills In 1902. Announcement was made by the Com mission that the county ratios of tax able property of public service corpora tions would be about the same as last year, which totaled $905,011,679. The State Board of Equalization expects to flx the ratios in a few days, the law providing that pumic service corpora tions shall be assessed at the same ratio of other property in the various counties. For instance. If a county assesses other property for taxable purposes at 75 per cent of its actual value, the public service corporations ""t u7 hubcbsihi at lii o same niLio. General Fund Exhausted. State Treasurer Kay announced sev eral weeks ago that the general fund had been exhausted as a result of the small levy this year, and that it would be necessary to borrow about $1,000,000 to tide the state over until the taxes were received next year. A bill was passed at the recent ses sion of the Legislature giving the State Tax Commission power to anticipate appropriations and expenditures, so in the future there will not be as great differences In the levies as has been in the past. Commissioner Eaton said the Com mission would fix the county ratios on tho property of public service corpora tions on a basis of last year's ratios, but that all of them probably would be somewhat larger.' The ratios in 1912 were aa follows: 1012 Ratios Here. Baker, 68 per cent; Benton, 60 per cent; Clackamas, 66 per cent; Clatsop, 31 per cent; Columbia, 63 per cent; Coos 63 per cent; Crook. 60 per cent: Curry, 77 per cent; Douglas, 67 per' cent; uiumra, 71 per cent; Grant, 61 per cent; Harney, 63 per cent; Hood River, 71 per cent; Jackson, 76 per ient; Josephine, 63 per cent; Klamath, 72 per cent; Lake, 75 per cent; Lane, 68 per cent; Lincoln, 88 per cent; Linn, 64 per cent; Malheur, 74 per cent;!

COURTS WILL NOT MOVE s Proposed Million Dollar Portland Building Will nave Eight Stories. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 8. The supervising archi tect of the Treasury today advised Sen ator Lane that data have been com piled on which to base plans for' the new Postofflce building at Portland and It Is found that the appropriation of $1,000,000 will be adequate to erect an eight-story building, which will provide sufficient space to accommo date not only the postoffice but all other Government offices In Portland that now occupy rented quarters. The architect doubted, however, whether the appropriation would be sufficient to provide space for the Fed eral Courts in the new building? Sena tor Lane said It was desired that the courts remain In their present quarters in the old Postoffice building and the architect said he would proceed on that theory and not figure on moving the courts to the new building. The competing architects will be fur nished with information on which base their plans within the next few days and work will proceed at once. They probably will have 60 days In which to prepare their sketches and plans. VICE CRUSADE EFFECTIVE Women of Baker's Restricted District Flee Law's Threats. BAKER. Or., Nov. 8. (Special.)

Xew Council Credited With Desire to Settle Problems Which Have Been Confronting City. SEASIDE. Or., Nov. 8. (Special.) Plans for the complete rejuvenation of the City of Seaside are being consid ered by the newly elected members of the City Council, who will take of fice in December. The subject that is receiving most attention is the opening and widening of streets. Bridge street, which runs from the Spokane, Portland & Seattle passenger depot to the ocean front, has been & bone of contention for sev eral years and according to the new Councilmen, some definite action will be taken. One plan that has been meeting with considerable favor is the opening of a street on each side of Bridge street with bridges across the Necanicum River and the clostng of Bridge street to all vqhicle traffic, making it an es planade from the Necanicum River to the ocean front. A $30,000 natatorlum is to be commenced January 1 at the ocean end of Bridge street by J. E. Oates. The scheme of having three fine streets running parallePfrom the rail road to the beach includes the idea of rounding the corners of all buildings at street intersections, to give more open space for street traffic. All the new Councilmen have ex pressed themselves as desirous of ad vancing the interests of the city by giving all possible aid toward the opening of streets, the building of good sidewalks and the construction of an adequate sewer system. The women members of the Im provement Club and the Woman's Club served a luncheon on education day and netted over $25 for the benefit of the free public restroom.

AID WOULD BE FURNISHED Proposal Is to Bring- 30 Families First Tear With Minister, locat ing Them Close Together on IxBged-Off Area. CHEHAUS, Wash.. Nov. 8. (Spe cial.) N. B. Coffman. president of the Southwest Washington Settlers' Agen cy, and secretary Larsen of this city, held a conference this week In Cheha 11s with I. V. Van Zanten on a coloniza tion scheme, which It Is hoped will be successfully worked- out to the advan tage of Southwest Washington and Western Oregon. Mr. Van Zanten. who is from Hol land, proposes to secure on long time thousands of acres of logged-ofi lands In the sections named for use In set tling colonies of Hollanders. Mr. Van Zanten Is a retired merchant and a man of considerable wealth. He has visited different portions of the United States and Canada, where immigration and colonization plans are being ex ploited and has satisfied himself fully that this section of the Pacific North west is better suited to Ms purpose than any other. Near Lynden, What com County, Washington, there la s, prosperous Holland colony. Mr. Van Zanten desires to secure op tions eventually on 1,000,000 acres, which he plans to settle gradually. Under Mr. Van Zanten's plan he would settle 1200 acres of land the first year, 4000 acres the second and S2.000 acres the third year, with a 40 acre limit for' each settler. Under the plan proposed Mr. Van Zanten believes that by working set tlement onto the more desirable lands of the river bottoms and developing them, later settlement of the uplands would be comparatively easy. The pur pose in a way has an element of phllan-r thropy in It. or with the Intensely crowded condition In Holland there must be a chance for expansion and where the Increase may be comfort ably cared for so that they can make homes for themselves and live In com fort. There is no question but that the Hollanders who would come to uUs country would make good. oretary Larson, of the Settlers' Agency, attended a big meeting of rep resentative owners of large tracts of logged-oft lands held In Hoqutam last night, and there seemed to be a strong disposition to take the matter up ac tively. If the plans are .carried out Mr. Van Zanten proposes to bring his first colony Into the Northwest next year, approximately 80 families to be the first delegation. He would settle these people close together, and vhe llrst building to be erected would be their -.hurch. a preacher to accompany them from their home country. Mr. Van Zanten. who has been malt ing his headquarters in Portland dur ing his stay in the Northwest, will make a short trip to California on other business matters, after which he will return to this section to conclude his work hete. In the meantime it i. confidently believed that the s.gnin up of many thousands of acres under a satisfactory agreement to the owners will have been arranged. There are so many possibilities in the plan that the men who have been carrying on the campaign for settle ment of the logged-oQ lands of this 3x6 ft.
