Binger Hermann Tells of Life
of the Late Oregon
Ex-Congressman.
PARENTS PIONEERS
Grandfather Made Survey of
Mouth of Umpqua and
Located Many Umpqua
Valley Townsites.
(By HON. MNGEJI HERMANN.)
A few words in memory of the lute
"rat" McArlhur who for S years was
until recently a congressman from
Oregon. These may be of no benefit
and no Injury to him. for he is no
more, but his eventful life may be an
incentive to the young men of our
slate, and lluue memoirs may be of
value. His father, the late Judge
LewlB A. McArthur, and 1 were edu
cated In the came instlution near
Daltitnore City, later known as Irving
Collej-e. The Judge's younger brother
Col. Milbain E. McArthur aud 1 were
class mates, and when in congress, I
made him my private secretary. While
acting as such, during my vacation in
Oregon, the Colonel, walking the
streets of Washington City jluring
one very hot summer day, fell to his
death by a stroke of cerebral hemorr
hage. The McArthur family came from a
very distinguished American slock,
going back to the revolution. On Pat's
maternal side he had the blood of
Oregon's old, and much loved senator
and early pioneer, James W. Nesnilth
i and a close friend of Presideut Liu
; coin, although elected as a liouglas
democrat from Oregon. His paternal
grandfather was Lieutenant W. P. Mc
I Arthur, of the U. S. Navy, and who
! had charge of the roast and geodedic
i survey of the Pacific const in 1S5II.
and In that year surveyed the mouth
of the Columbia river. And, what is
of local interest to us here, made the
first survey of the mouth of the
. Cmpqua river. This was Just after
the arrival over the bar of the ship
"Samuel Roberts" with the Colony of
, I'mpqua explorers lead by Colonel
. Winchester from San Francisco, and
who located and eurveyed future
i town sites -in our valley such as
"I'mpuua City" at tile mouth of the
i river, Scotl.shurg at the head of wa
. ter navigation, Elktnn, still above, and
across the river from old Port I'mp-
qua of the Hudson Pay Eur company,
i and Winchester at the old Aiken and

aa a democrat delegate from Oorefm. )
to the national democratic convention
but he was sH the more anxious
have the little Pat meet a president
of the Cnited States for he was even
then a young politician.
Unfortunately congress had Just ad-1
jourm d and the president, wearied 01 f
his conflict with congress, had with-'
drawn to hk country estatg near thei
city, only returning to cabinet noet-!
inus. Visitors were not retehed. li
well recall how deeply disappointed j
was the Judge, and Mrs. McArthur,
to say jiothing of the important little
Pat. They being my friends und con
siiUithts, I was filially jiieved, and I
redoubled by efforts to secure the an
xior.'.; interview. Through the kindly
intercession of Colouel L;,iaont. thuj
' president's private B ert tary, Mr.
, ('1 veland was prevailed upon to re-'

Assessor Calkins Completes

Tax Levy.
VALUATION IS LOWER

More Tkan $1,000,000,
Report Says.
The rcunty nn I slat" tax levy for
the coming year is Hi. 8 mills, ac
cording to au announcement made
today by County Assessor Frank 1
Calkins, who has Just completed the
task of figuring the levies for the
various funds for which money is to
be raised. The stute tai amounts to
more than six mills, and the geueral
county tax to three and six-tenths
mills. The general road tax levy
Is two1 and a half mills, while the
various other funds which must he
made up from taxes to be paid next
year, bring the total levy for stale
and cotinly purposes u to l.s mills.
This leyy Is to he made on a coun
ty valuation of $:i:i.lH!l,r,su, a de
crease of $1,1S7.(IOO from the 1 S
assessment. The last ussessinent
made gave a total county valuation
of :H.S!(7,240, but the 'new check
nf properly gives a reduced valua
tion of :U.l!9,5ts0. which includes
public utilities.
This reduction is made as a result

Some savanl which Webster tells
us Is slang for "wise guy" once!
declared that "actions speuk louder j
than words." Some other equally
erudite scribbler averretl that "mon-1
ey talks a language that all ran tin-
derstand." Iloih of these obseiva-"
tious are apropos the activities of A. j
U. Marcus, whose 'Hello Prosperity "
will be presented at the Antlers The-
aire one night, Thursday. December
' 1 :lrh
Most anyone cn say that there Is
no such thlnx as hard limes but
when a cold, shrewd business man
Invests a lortiine In such a hazardous ;
underiaklug as a big musical prodtic- ,
tion the action makes more couWnr-;
lug argument than the mere mouih-:
ing of professional optimists. Due i
hundred thousand dollars indeed I
speaks a language that all can under-1
stand. It is that amount and more i
that Is represented In the opulent
production Marcus has aflorded the !
current extravaganza bearing his j
name. j
Tweniy-nlne scenes are visible In i
the big harlequinade. Mere canvas 1
and paint Is no longer considered
gorgeous for the trappings of this
exhibition. Now silken hangings
supplant the more pleblan materials.
Especially elaborate are the scenes
depicting the Century Roof, New
York: a court room in Reno; a fu
turistic ship; the flying field at Mln
eola: a liroadway Chicken farm aud
a country-side In California.
More than a score of costume
changes serve to enhance the native
beauty of tho numerous I'iguartes
who, as for several seasons, appear
under the familiar trade murk of
Marcus Peaches.
Miss Pee Winsome and her sister
artistes are Indeed creatures of beau
ty and a Joy forever. The whole af
fair Impresses the beholder with the
Idea that its sponsor must be a iniilii
milliouaire gone stark mad or a slick
showman who feels that the public
will buy quality any time.
TIE OUT POLES
The Kift of eight of the cluster
lamp posts to tho highway service itta
tion for the benutification of its
grounds and building on the corner
of hou.'las and Jackson streets, has
n suited in a saving of around ?2."u to
the city of Koseburg.
When the new street lights Were
turned on, the city was faced with tho
proble mof removing the old posts.
These posls were set In the con-
crete sidewalk, the base extending
down for about IS jm lies with a heavy t
iron collar at the sidewalk level. The I
city endeavored to luid some way of j
removing these pent a and consulted
numerous mechanics regarding some J
plan of removing them. To dig them i
out. It was found, would prove ex
it would cost from $4 to fu to cut i
them off either with chisels or toieh-,
ea. in the last named procta the ;
poles would be ruined for Hither us;
The highway s n ice station c un-1
pany asked lor eight of the pub a and ;
were advised that they could have;
th'-m it they would remove them. As !
the result, the city learned h trick
which Is takin;; oiii tt.e old pohs :tl
a cost of about tn cents each. '
A heavy iron collar with projec-1
lions on two sides has been lorgwl t
antl r lamps around the iron latup
pests. A screw Jack is placrd under,
these projeetlons and a pressure ex-i
erted upward. Tbit pressure is great,
