As I unders'and it, tne exemption it allowed as the law provide on the date when tlie aaaewment is made, and if the law on that day does not authorize an exemption, none ran be allowed. Inia, of course, is mv off-hand opinion. S ben the bill was before the legisla ture it waa taken for granted that there would he no lapee in tbe allowance of exemption. If tbe new law could go in to rllect lebruary 29, the exemption could be allowed. Attorney-General Crawford snppoeed, as did everyone else, that the exemption law would be effect ive on tlie assessment of 1904, and was surprised to learn that any' doubt existed on that point.

The Oregon City Transportation Com pany is having more than Its share of trouble. A lew days ago a collision put its steamer Altnna out of business, and yesterday the steamer Pomona went to the bottom, says Tuesday's Oregooian. The latter boat was wrecked by strik ing a sunke nag at Carey's bend, about 45 miles south o Portland. She was coming dowo frqm Corvallis in command of Captain 8 pony and bad a good lint of passengers and freight ca'go. Reaching the bend at 2:30 p. m , proceedings were brought to a sudden stop by an in visible snag tearing a gaping bole in the steamer's hull. The Pomona quickly filled and sank. However, as the river is very shallow op that way the water only covered the lower deck of the ves sel, and the passengers escaped a wet ting The steamer Leona, of the same line, bove in sight about two hours alter tbe accident and, after standing by awhile, took aboard the passengers of the wrecked boat, and will bring them to this ciiy. Wrecking barges with pumps and other apparatus will be taken np the river today and the boat will be raised and brought to this city. As the repairs will be quite extensive, there will be no boat on the Corvallia route for some time. It requires a boat of very light draft on that run, and aa tbe Pomona and Altona are both out of commission, none other is available. Tbe Altona was disabled last Wednes day morning in a collision win the O. K. A N. steamer Modoc on Jones mill. She is now at tbe yards of the Portland Shipbuilding Company in Soulb Port land, but will probably be ready for ser vice Saturday. In the meantime tbe little steamer Leon a is attending to tbe company's business on tbe Portland 6a!etn run. S8 EXEMPTION THIS YEAR. Attorndy-General Crawford Says Law II ad Jio Emergency C'laose. W. E. 'Wilson, a local saloon man, was last Bsturday fined $10 for selling liqaor to a minor. Wilson pleaded guilty to tbe cbarne. Tbe arrest of O. H. Yonng, another liquor dealer, was caused on the same charge, but Kaymond lee ana Art Bail, tbe minors to whom the intoxicants were sold, explained that they made tbe pur chase at Wilson's place ct Business, whereupon Young was released. Tbe arrest of tbe saloon men was tbe sequel of the srreet the night before of yonng Lee and Ball on the charge of be ing drunk and disorderly. Tbey were making themselves objectionable on tbe streets bv uung proline and abusive lan guage and when arra'gned before Mayor iimick were lined $i eacb."Bcajfe of the fact that it was their first offence, tbe fines were reduced to $2 50 eacb, pending good behavior. Following tbe release of the boys, Ward Lee, a brother of one of theui. caused warrants to be leaned for tbe arrest of the saloon men on the charge of Illegally selling liquor, STOLE A MLVER St 005. Some of the Stanford University Boys Get Gay la Oregon City. The alleged theft of a silver spoon by one tbe collegians from a local saloon at a late hour lat Saturday night, very nearly delaved the departure from this ci y of the Stanford University Glee and Man dolin Club. Following tbe entertainment by tbe members of tbe club at the Armory and while the party wss awaiting tbe arrival of the last car to Portland, some of tbe collegians entered a saloon and simulta neously with tbeir departure disappeared a silver spoon. Tbe enraged mixologist gave chase and overtook his suspected customers at their hotel. He demanded tbe immediate return of bis property, but his command was not complied wilb. Officer Noblitt appeared on the scene and, learning of the trouble, requested the saloon man to indicate the lellow sus pected of the theft, whom be at once pro ceeded to search a la criminal style. "Mavbe you don't know wtjo 1 am;" queried the collegian as he remonstrated against the thorough search that was be ing made of bis person. "You bad better dispeuse with any back talk or yon will learn in a very short time who I am," was the retort of the officer, who continued tbe search. But the stolen spoon was not found and the incident closed with tbe departure of tbe car for Portland with Ihe jovial col- leirians. whose conduct while in toe city, with this single exception, was good. inct, a tax of 2 mills wss voted for school purposes. The tax lat year for the srne purpose was 7a mills snd the re duction in the levy this year is made possible by the doubling of the assess ment roll of the county by Afsessor nelson. The board of directors, consisting of Dr. W, E. Carll, chairman; Geo A. Harding, CI' an. Albright, Chas. Caiifield and T. K Ryan, submitted its annual report in which the expenses of the dis trict for the fiscal year beginning June 0 next, were estimated at $10 241. Of that amount the sum of fr70 is allotted for teachers' salaries The estimate nlo includes an item of $1000 for the building of cloet3 and the making of sewer con nections at the two school buildings. The income of the district for the corres ponding time is spproiimated at $H39l and is Irorn the following sources: Tui tion, foOO; county apportionment, fOOOU; state spiHirtiomnrnt, $1891, leaving a total of only 18o0 to be raised by special levy. In its report the directors state by con solidating tbe grades and employing Miss Clark as city superintendent, the building of an addition to the Etatliam building, which would otherwise have been imperative, baa been obviated and eeveial hundred dollars saved to the dis trict without impairing the thoroughness of the school work. Il is the sense of the Roard of directors that if tbe attend ance at the schools increases during ths coming year, the building of an addition to one of the school buildings can on'v be avoided by refusing tuition pupils ad mittance to the schools and extending the accommodations of the present schools to resident scholars. The total indebtedness of tbe district amounts to $14,000 and is made np of these items: Bonded indebtedness, $12,000; floating ind-btednese, $20)0. Witb a levy of 2 mills, it will be pos sible for tbe district to cancel a portion of the floating indsbtednees and at tbe same time meet all of tbe expenses of tbe district. 15D0RMED R00SETELT. Oregon Legislature at Special Sessioi Unanimously Adopts Regulations. Unanimous indorsement of the admin istration of President Rooaevel'. was mace T member of the Uregon Legislature at tbe special session held at Salem last week. The resolution waa presented in joint session by Senator Brownell, of Clackamas county, presi dent ol the Senate and tbe motion for their adoption was carried unanimously. The text of Senator Brownell'a resolu tion follows: "Whereas, The Legislature of tbe State of Oregon has been convened la special seesioo, immediately following the independence of Panama, which has made possible tbe opening of the gates of commerce between the East and the West, united by a common brotherhood tbougb separated by a continent; and "Whereas, Oregon will hold ao elec tion previous to the one which will name our next President, therefore, be it "Resolved, That we, members of the Legislature and of the Republican party for the btate of Oregon, in caucus as sembled, heartily indorse tbe firm course pursued by our fearless President, Theo dore Roosevelt, and hereby and in bar monv witb tbe sentiment of this state and the North Pacific Coast demand bis renomioation and hereby pledge him tbe unanimous eupport of the Republican party of the State of Oregon." Tbe motion to adopt the resolution was responded to by a rising vote and continued applause. That there will be no $300 tax exemp tion on tbe assesment of 1904 seems ap parent from tbe laws as tbey were left by tbe special session. As tbe law now stands there is no exemption author ised. Tbe next assessment will be made on March 1, 1904. Tbe act passed by the legislature reviving tbe $300 exemption will not take effect ontil 90 days from December 23, or oo March 23.
