Escaped Whipping Post
A. Schroeder, a German resident of
this city, has to thank a patient and
long-suffering wife that he la not tho
first victim for the whipping post In
Clackama county. Becoming thor
oughly Intoxicated, Schroeder on Sun
day went to his home at Groen Point

Miraculously Escapes Death
Tony Blair, aged 19 years, of this
city, was found unconscious at the foot
of the bluff In Railroad Avenue about
7:30 o'clock Monday morning. Judg
ing fiom the disturbed condition of
moss on a projecting ledge in the side
of the bluff and the very extensive
bruise on the young man's body,
there Is every reason to conclude that
he walked off the bluff and fell to the
ground more than 90 feet below. That
the youug.man was not Instantly kill
ed is accounted for from the fact that
In the descent the body came In con
tact with shrubbery on the side of the
bluff that greatly hindered the fall.
The lad was thought to have sustain
ed severe Internal Injuries, but will
probably recover. About two years
ago an Intoxicated tramp fell off the
bluff at the same place a did young
Blair, but he escaped uninjured, with
not even as much a a scratch.
Will Seek More Information
J. H. Reld, Fruit Inspector for Mult
nomah and Clackamas Counties, will
leave for Corvallls tomorrow, where
he will "go to school" for a few days
The County Assessor' convention
held at Portland last Friday and Sat
urday, decided In favor of making as
sessments on a true cash valuation as
the statute provides. There was a
great deal of discussion upon the sub
Ject and much divergence of opinion
expressed. Assessor Sigler, of Port
land, who has made a full cash assess
ment this year, asserted that there
was nothing else to do under the law
although It had not been obeyed In the
past. The old plan was to assess at
about 50 cents on the dollar. Some
Assessors wanted to know If the re'
olutlon was adopted whether It would
be binding on all of them. It was ex
plained It would be, and the resolu
tlon was finally adopted.
The next meeting of the Assessor
will be held In Portland December 4,
1900. President Sigler appointed C
F. Strain of Umatilla; D. B. McKnlght,
of Linn; and A. G. Stosgdill, of Wasco,
to assign the subjects for addresses at
the next session. B, D. Sigler was re
elected president, and J. F. Nelson, of
Clackamas County, secretary. The
convention adjourned Saturday after
noon.

County Treasurer Cahlll Gives His
Ideas on Tax Collecting.
"Good times during the last few
years rather than the operation of the
3 per cent rebate system In the col
lection of taxes la more largely re
sponsible for the minimum delinquent
tax roll In the various counties of the
state," said County Treasurer Cahlll
this week.
"I am opposed to the rebate system
for the reason that I consider It In the
Interest of the moneyed classes who
can pay their taxes at any time" con
tinued the Clackamas county treasur
er. "Again It Is expensive because of
the extra clerical help that Is required
in the tax collector' office during the
tax collecting period. Counties that
are in debt gain nothing on account of
this extra expense while counties that
are not In debt get their money when
they require it. I am in favor of the
township 'or precinct assessor as a
satisfactory means of accomplishing
an equitable assessment of property.
Such a plan would prove more econ
omical beside giving the Individual
taxpayer an opportunity to detect and
unearth the tax-dodger. I would have
the taxes fall due in the Fall of the
year, about October 1 with no penalty
added for non-payment before Janu

for the first month, 2 per cent for the
