THE MORNING OREGONLAN, MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1901. TAXES TO BE HIGHER Slight Increase on 1 900 Rate Is Probable. STATE LEVY SHOWS DECREASE Extra Mlllasre Put the City in Good Financial Condition Municipal Authorities Are Not Flffnrins: on Increase in Expenses. The total tax levy for all purposes In Portland this year may be a trifle more than that of last year, which was, 38 mills, according- to City Auditor Devlin, who was interviewed yesterday on the subject. "The increase of 2 mills for city purposes will provide a fund sufllcient to cover the expenses of the police and Are depart ments, as well as for lighting the city," he said. "There is a deficiency of $11,000 on the lighting fund of last year, but whether this will be made up to the company in 1901 Mr. Devlin could not say. "The Board of Public "Works," he said, "thinks the amount should be paid, ,as it Is a moral obligation on the part of the city. "The state levy this year Is a trifle leas than in 1900, and so is the special school tax. but the advance of 2 mills on the city tax and the addition of mill for park purposes will more than offset this. The assessed valuation also is higher than last year, so tha taxpayers of the city must make up their minds to pay out more money for taxes than they did. in 1900. Taxes are not high, however, in Portland, as even the advance in assess ment does not represent the full cash value of property, by any means. Every department of the municipal government Is run on economical principles, and no expense is being incurred that can pos sibly bo avoided. "The exact total of all tax levies cannot be figured up for a while, as the county levy has not been made, nor has the new charter been framed Into a law by the legislators at Salem. The county levy may be made this week. "Tho city authorities are not figuring on any increase In expenses this year, though the fire department will need some new horses, as well as a certain amount of new hose. Besides this, there are sev eral elevated roadways which have to be kept up, at the expense of the city, as the abutting property is not valuable enough to stand all the expense. Bridges across Sullivan's Gulch, and over several ravines in South Portland, must be kept up from 4he public treasury, as these bridges are a necessity to a very large neighborhood adjacent. They have not been kept up as they should be, during the past year, on account of lack of funds. Then there are a good many cross walks on city property and sidewalks sur rounding city parks that need attention. Aside from theso necessities, no other ex tra expense Is contemplated for 1901. The street-cleaning department is running shorthanded, but whether Its usefulness can be extended this year depends upon circumstances. "The amount paid Into the general fund for fines has averaged $4000 per month for the past five months, making some $30,000 in all. This has been used to help pay interest on bonds, which amounts to $136, 000 h. year. This police revenue, however, will decrease now, as the city has de cided to suppress gambling. Chinese lot teries and slot machines. Money derived from licenses has also been applied to tho Interest fund, and In this way delin quency In payment has been staved off. "Keeping up the various county roads of Multnomah Is largely done at the ex pense of the city, and fully $57,000 was laid out in this way last year. Besides, the city expended over $7000 on repairs of roadways and on crosswalks within its limits. Thus the street and road fund Is a very large Hem. of expense in the pub lic budget." COMING ATTRACTIONS. Pnlomn. Schramm Concert at the Marquam Tonight. At the Marquam Grand tonight, the music-lovers of Portland wjll have an op portunity to near two of the most tal ented musical children the world has ever seen. Paloma Schramm is admitted to be the greatest of all musical wonders. and her little sister Karla, only 8 years of age, who appears with her, is said to bo nothing less than a genius. The pro gramme that will be rendered tonight Is one which Is very seldom heard, and could be given by no one that is not a thorough master of the instrument. For a little girl of such tender age to ren der a programme made up of such dim cult compositions is little short of mirac ulous. "The Christian. The sale of seats for the most powerful drama of modern times, "The Christian," will open at the Marquam Grand this mornlnc at 10 O'clock. Tho nnmnnmr will begin its engagement "Wednesday nignt, continuing Thursday, Friday, Sat urday matinee and night, January 30, 31, February 1 and 2. The organization Is one of the first-class enterprises, the qual ity and equipment of which Is not fnimii by any other theatrical firm In America; in fact, to see a Liebler production on the road Is to see a perfect ensemble and per formance equal to the New York produc tion. "The Christian" company embraces 60 people, and the equipment fills two 60 foot baggage cars. The managers of the aters are requested to give a clear stage, and tho manager of the organization mounts his play with the perfection ob served on Its first metropolitan night at the Knickerbocker Theater. This is a commendable innovation In theatrical per formances, for It Is well known that, while excellent productions are seen In the metropolis, the road companies pre senting the same are a very poor Imita tion. The fame of "The Christian" com pany has spread from one end of the land to the other, and, though It is doubtless tho most expensive modern dramatic pro duction on the road, it has In less than three seasons earned a fortune.

A third peti tion asking for the establishment of a route for rural delivery of mall from Colfax was sent to Congressman Jones at "Washington, D. C, today. This route runs east from Colfax, along the Palouse City road, thence south to Spring Flat, thence back to Colfax. The entire length of the route Is 22 miles, and the petition contains the names of 12S farmers who will bo patrons. This Is the tenth petition for rural delivery from Whitman County. LONDON STOCK MARKET. Dnll Tone Prevniled Lost Week, Dae to Queen's Death. LONDON, Jan. 27. The stock exchange last week was under the shadow of the fatal news from Osborne. Dealings were on a small scale, and a dull tone pre vailed in most departments. A more cheerful tone prevailed Thursday, but there were adverse influences of a depress ing character, such as the prospect of further government borrowing, the like-, lihood of reduced dividends and traffic returns in home railroad securities, and the prolongation of the war In South Africa. Nevertheless, the city was in clined to attach considerable Importance to Emperor "William's visit as an augury of peace, and there was an undoubted Improvement In the monetary situation. Americans, although wabbling through out the week, seem, to have reached a condition of equilibrium, as no strong tendency either way was discovered, and fluctuations appeared to be merely the effect of realizations as the bulls and bears alternately took profits. "What trad ing there was seemed to be purely pro fessional, and the market closed strong at the best figures of the week.

SECTION OF A MAP FROM LESLIE'S WEEKLY SHOWING THE "DISTRIBUTION" OF 31INERALS IN OREGON, WASHINGTON, IDAHO, MONTANA AND "WYOMING. Leslie's Weekly, New York, Is publishing a. series of Illustrated articles on tho subject, "Why America Should Be Great." The sixth paper Is entitled, "The Varied and Immensely Valuable Mineral Deposits of the United States; Their Distribution and Utilization." A feature of the article Is an outline map of the United States. In the space occupied by the states is printed the names of principal minerals found. Article and illustration are published over the simature of Dr. Edward D. Jones, a professor of the University of Wis consin. Dr. Jones' knowledge of the mineral resources of the Northwest appears to be very much obfuscated. In Oregon he marks "Iron" about where Oswego Is located, and "nickel" down about Grant's Pass. In "Washington "Iron" is marked along the Olympic Range, and in the northeastern part of the state, near the British boundary. Idaho is completely overlooked. All the Northwestern States have been endeavoring for years to Interest capital In their mines, and It is aggravating, to say the least, for a publication of the standing of Leslie's Weekly to misrepresent them in the hour of success. Had Dr. Jones made a correct mlneralogical map of Oregon, "Washing ton and Idaho, he would hae dotted all three states with Indications of valuable deposits. Oregon produces gold, silver, copper, lead, coal, iron, cobalt, quicksilver and other metals. Its output last year was $4,155,000, of which $3,770,000 was gold. Can It be possible that Dr. Jones has not heard of the Eastern Oregon gold belt, Bohemia, Blue River, Southern Oregon placers and quarts mines, Harney's borax deposits, or the coal fields of Coos Bay? "Washington produces gold, silver, lead, copper and coal. Has Dr. Jones never heard of the great Republic gold camp, of the Monte Crlsto district. In the northwestern part of the state, of St. Helen's district, of the coal meas ures of King, Pierce and Kittitas Counties? Mining Is more extensively carried on in Idaho than In any of the Northwestern States. Its output last year was $10,011,200, of which $4,125,220 was gold, $0,248,610 of sliver. $2,514,507 copper, and $3,122,803 lead. Has Dr. Jones never heard of Boise Basin, the great placer producer of olden times, of Coeur d'Alene, or of Buffalo Hump? Leslie's Weekly has done the Northwest a great Injustice by misrepresenting Us mineral resources, and should hasten to correct It. the last named rising 4 points. Among the other Increases were: Illinois Central, which rose 2 points; Northern Pacific, 1; Missouri, Kansas & Texas, V; New York Central, 1; "Wabash preferred, VA, and j several stocks showing a rise of from V4 to VA points.

The news of the death of Queen "Victoria affected the Ger man bourse very slightly, although some realization selling was caused In conse quence of the closing of the London stock market. The stagnation of the previous weeks continued. The only department showing any life last week was that of the domestic government funds. In this department, the growing abundance of money and the success of the Saxon loan, together with the increasing distrust in industrials and American securities, caused lively buying, and the week was the best those funds had seen for months. Imperial and Prussian 3s rose more than 1 per cent on the week. The preference of the public for government securities is growing, and It affects also the market for American railway shares. The Frank furter Zeltung reports much selling of Americans at Frankfort for investment In government 3s, and it continues to warn the public against Americans at the pres ent prices. On the Berlin bourse, Americans vacil lated sharply during the week, the Ger man public continuing to sell. TO LOOK FOR MISSING SHIPS Revenue Cutter Grant Sails North from Tacoma Today. TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 27. The revenue cutter Grant, Captain R. F. Tozier, starts Monday morning on one of the most perilous voyages ever undertaken. Ship ping men and underwriters of the entire Pacific coast will anxiously await her re turn, for she goes in search of missing vessels and distressed mariners. Twenty flvo vessels bound for Puget Sound and the coast are missing, supposedly driven north. "Vessels from Alaska report the entire "West Coast of "Vancouver Island, 250 miles of rocks and reefs, strewn with wreckage. The Grant will examine every square inch of Vancouver coast as far north as Cape Scott in small boats and launches, and will search every piece of wreckage for identification. The Treasury Department Is highly commended by shipping men for send'ng the cutter north and, although realizing their peril, officers of the revenue cut ter service are too familiar with danger to question their orders. ' BANK TELLER MASSING. Accounts AH Straight Father Thinks He Has Been Kidnaped. CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-Arthur F. Barnard, teller of the Zion City Bank, the private financial institution established by John Alexander Dowie four years ago. has disappeared. His father, who wag cashier of the bank, is of the belief that bis son has been kidnaped and is held for ransom, which belief is shared by other members of the bank. The police think it more probable that young Barnard has been held up by robbers and Injured. His ac counts are in perfect order. Against Professor Rosa. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 27. A commit tee appointed by local alumni of Stanford University to ascertain the confidential and other reasons for the enforcea resig nation of Dr. Edward Ross, head of the department of social science last Novem ber, .has completed its labor. The report sums up the controversy with the con clusion that the action of Mrs. Stanford in asking the dismissal of Dr. Ross in volved no infringement of tho right of free speech. BTrupp'a Dock Plan Rejected. BERLIN, Jan. 27. The Town Council of Kiel has rejected the plan of Herr Krupp to build Immense floating docks adjoining the Krupp shipbuilding works, at Kiel, as the Chamber of Commerce and the National Society had objected on the ground the project would obstruct the harbor. RAILROAD LEGISLATION OREGON BILL FOR CHANGES IX PAS SENGER AND FREIGHT RATES. Former Shall Not Exceed 3 Cents: a Mile, While Latter Shall Be Same to All Shippers. SALEM, Or., Jan. 27. At this session of the Legislature, as at every other, there are many bills aiming at the con trol of railroid corporations. The first bill of this sort to be Intro duced was House bill No. 15, by Colvlg, of Jackson County. According to the provisions of this bill, it is unlawful for a railroad company to give freight rates to one person at less figure than is given to all. All such freight rates must be reasonable and shall not exceed the rate charged on January 1, 18S5. All per sons who pay their fare must receive equal treatment, provided that the rail roads may provide separate accommoda tions for passengers, except that no dis crimination shall be made on account of race or color. Nor shall any railroad company or Its officers charge or receive from any per son who is to be conveyed over any rail road or railroads" in this state any sum exceeding 3 cents per mile for the dls- MISREPRESENTATION OF THE NORTHWEST. tance to be traveled by such person, and all persons engaged as aforesaid shall furnish, without discrimination, the same facilities for carriage, receiving, deliver- Ing, storage, and handling all property of like character by him or them, and perform with equal expedition the same kind of services connected with contem poraneous transportation thereof as afore said. No break, stoppage, or- Interruption, nor any contract, agreement, or under standing, shall be made to prevent the carriage of any property from being treated as one continuous carriage, in the meaning of this act, from the plictr of shipment to the place of destination, unless such stoppage, interruption, con tract, agreement, or understanding was made in good faith for some practical and necessary purposes, without any In tent to avoid or Interrupt such contig uous carriage, or to evade any of tho provisions of this act, unless prevented by unavoidable accident. House bill No. 40 has for its object the regulation of passenger rates and provides as follows: "Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any railroad company, corporation, person or persons operating lines In the State of Oregon, to demand, collect or receive a greater compensation for the transporta tion of persons than three cents a mile. "Sec 2. Any such railroad company, person or persons neglecting or refusing to comply with the provisions of this act shall, upon conviction thereof for each and every offense, be fined a sum not less than J200 nor more than J2000." House bill No. 41, by Butt of Yamhill, is the same as No. 15, with the exception that it provides that the freight rates shall not exceed those charged on Jan uary L 1901. The wording of the two bills is the same throughout, with this exception, and also with the difference that 41 has an emergency clause. Senate bill 34 Is the longest railroad bill yot Introduced. It provides schedules of maximum freight rates to be charged by a railroad company alone or In associa tion with others. The 3 cents a mile maximum is placed on passenger rates, and equal treatment of all lsvrequlred.

For all hauls In excess of 300 miles the rate for the excess shall be not to exceed the average rate for the iast 50 miles of the 300-mile limit. For all points between minimum and maximum points, for example, between 25 and 50 miles, 50 and 100 miles, etc., the rate shall be in addition to the minimum rate not to ex ceed a rate per mile from such minimum point to point of destination equal to the quotient resulting from dividing the differ ence In rate between the minimum and maximum points by the difference In mile age between such points, taking always the minimum and maximum points be tween which the point of destination lies. Provided, that In no case shall the com pany be required to make a less charge than 25 cents for transportation of freight. Sec 3. "When freight is transported over two or more railroads or across navigable waters, as provided In this act, the freight money so earned by such continuous haul shall be divided by the companies Inter ested on equitable principles, to be by them agreed upon, and in case they do not agree, to be decreed by any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 6 prohibits every act declared unlawful and persons damaged by a vio lation of the law may recover treble dam ages, and if the court finds that the vio lation was wilful, an attorney fee shall be allowed the person damaged. Section 7 provides a fine of from $100 to $1000 to be Imposed upon any director or officer of a corporation who permits any violation of the law. The establlsment of district and county high schools Is the purpose of Senate bill No. 103, by Kuykendall, of Lane County. The bill provides that when one-third of the legal voters of any district petition for a high school, the School Board shall submit the question to a vote of the district, and if a majority of all the votes cast are in favor of the high school, it shall be the duty of the board to es tablish such school and provide for its maintenance. The district School Board shall have power to use any part of the county or state school funds, or any funds raised by taxation of the district, for the nec essary expenses of the high school; pro vided, that none of the funds of any dis trict shall be used for the purpose of maintaining a high school, unless said district shall also maintain at least eight months' instruction each year in the low er grades of the school system of this stale.

Janitors, and other em ployes, and discharge such teachers and employes when deemed advisable by them, and to do any and all other things necessary to the" proper conduct of the school. The expenses of the high school must be kept within the revenues. The county board may contract with the board oi di rectors of any district in the county that now maintains or may hereafter maintain a high school, to teach county high school pupils at such rate per capita or In the aggregate as they may deem. right and Just, and pay for the same out of the high school fund. The course of study for High Schools In this state shall embrace a period of four years above the eighth grade ofthe pub lic schools of the state, and shall con tain two years of required work, which x-v, be r""rT3 in all High Schools of the state.

House bill No. SO, by Poorman, of Marlon County, has for Its purpose the fixing of the liabilities of corporations owning or operating railroads within the state, for injuries done employes, and for the protection of railroad employes in gon eral, and fixing penalties for the viola tion of the same. Section 1 provides: "Every corporation operating a railway within this state shall be liable for all damages sustained by any person, including employes of such corporations. In consequence of the neg lect of agents, or by any mismanagement of the engineers or other employes of the corporation, and In consequence of the willful wrongs, whether of commission or omission, of such agents, engineers or other employes when such wrongs are In any manner connected with the use and operation of any railway, on or about which they shall be employed, and no con tract which restricts such liability shall be legal or binding." Section 2 requires that railway employes shall be given at least eight hours' rest after every 15 hours' work, except in cases of detention caused by unavoidable accident. "Violation of this section sub jects the company to a fine of $100 to J500 for the first offense, and $1000 or more for each subsequent offense. Every railroad company is required by the first day of July, 1901, to fill or block all angles in frogs, switches, etc., with tho best-known appliances.
