CONFER WITH COMMISSIONERS Officers of the League Explain How SnvlnKB Can Be Made in Sev eral Departments Money Spent on Count- Roads. The Taxpayers league declares the tax levy for county purposes this year should not exceed 4 mills, and 1 mill for county roads. The total levy last year was 10 mills. A delegation of the league called upon the County Commissioners yesterday consisting of J. N. Teal. William M. Ladd, L. Allen I.ewls, J. C. Alnsworth. John Klernan, Gus Rosenblatt, and others, and ursd that this action be taken. Mr. Teal was fortified with statistical tables which the league hadreparod, and among the Items of expense which It was suggested can be saved this year were the fol Idwlng: New furniture bought last year, 53000. Additional furniture will not be needed this year. Through reforms set In forco by the Judges of the Circuit Court. $2000 at least in Jury fees. Assessor's office. $5000, and varying amounts through all other offices. There will bo no election or registra tion expenses this year, which last year cost $13,000. Alblna ferry repairs, $2500, which will not have to be done again soon. Madison-street bridge repairs. $53,000, and rodeeklng Steel bridge, JG300. which will not be required this year. Collection of taxes a very large amount. Mr. 'Teal called attention to the fact that $100,000 was spent on county roads, nnd a large saving should be expected here, and that the general result would be that the county levy could be held down to '4 mills, and the road tax levy to 1 mill. Tile total saving proposed by the league amounts to over $100,000. The board listened attentively, and, as sisted by Auditor Pope and the clerk, carefully considered the items of expense of the past year. Mr. Teal stated that It was obvious to all that It is necessary to make the tax levy as low as possible, and that people were burdened with taxes. He said ho would show where It was feasible to re dtico expenses. Including salaries, and the board ought to transact public business with the same due regard to economy as with private business. "The city gets only $7000." he said, "with which to keep the streets In order. Of the seemingly immense sum of money that was levied for road purposes last year this city paid K per cent of the total for the building of county roads. Our county roads are not merely country roads; they are boulevards. I have heard that we have exceptionally good roads in some parts of this county and people tell me that they are rcalU better than are need ed. The road to Latourcll Is one, and the road to Llnnton Is another. Might not you gentlemen find it practicable to re duce the road levy? I am strongly In favor of good roads, but 1 suggest that it might be possible to do this year with a 1-mlll road levy, or 14 mills." Chairman Steele and Showers Inter rupted to say that this year the bridge over Columbia Slough would have to be replaced and partially rebuilt at a cost of somewhere in the neighborhood of $16,000. That would have to be considered. In a side remark Mr. Showers said that it was worth while to plead that the present Commissioners were not respon sible .for the building of boulevards in country districts. "There Is another thing a little out of the ordinary. remarked Mr. Showers later to the spokesman of the delegation. "The Armory has to have a sidewalk all GET FULL SUPPLIES OF No better invertmfint could be made than buying for future needs from our reliable makes, at clearance sale prices.

It is hardly worth while to lay a board walk " "I would not think of laying a board walk," Interrupted Mr. Ladd. "And," continued Mr. Showers, "the Armory has to have a new flooring and the foundation needs renovation." Mr. Teal argued that the revenues of the county from the mortgage tax and other sources would help the county great ly this year, and there was no need of a high tax levy. Mr. Lewis spoke on the road question again. "I think there has been two or three times as much money expended on the roads as is necessary," said he. "For in stance, there is the road to Llnnton. That is a boulevard. On driving out to Latour ell recently I found an excellent road 12 to 15 miles out. The road must have been graded and a good surface put on it no less than 40 or 50 feet wide." Mr. Showers said that there was 14 feet In the center of the road that was macadamized as a rule. The rest of it was earth. "The taxpayers feel this burden of tax ation," said Mr. Ladd. "Just at this time, while there are Easterners coming In here, it is highly Important that our taxes be made as low as possible. I have lately seen two parties of men, people who are contemplating starting factories here. They have had a good deal to say about taxation. They have been over to Seattle, and they have come back here full of the idea that our taxes are high. They say that our rate Is excessive." Chairman Steele here stated that it was always to be remembered that with a high valuation of property the levy could be made lower. He said that If the property In the city and county were represented on the tax rolls at one-third of Its value, perhaps there would be no complaint about excessive taxation. "We must not lose sight of the fact," resumed Mr. Ladd, "that at this time, when trans-Pacific business is coming this way, and with the talk of an expo sition here, we are attracting consider able attention. When settlers are coming In here we want them to stay. High taxation may drive them out. The busi ness men are willing to spend money, but the tax levy must be kept down. This is the time to be careful." After some further discussion, the Com missioners called attention to the scalp bounty bill Just passed by the Legisla ture. "It does not specifically state that a levy will have to be made by us," said one of the Commissioners, "but It may have to be done." "Multnomah County will have to pay for Idaho" and Washington scalps prin cipally," said Mr. Teal. "I think it is next thing to an outrage." The Commissioners promised to con sider the suggestions made concerning road matters. The main Item to be looked after will be the repair nnd re building of the Vancouver bridge, at a cost of frpm $15,000 to $18,000. In regard to the scalp bounty bill, pub lished In Wednesday's Oregonlan, the Commissioners have encountered a snag, so to speak, being unable by reading it to determine whether a 1-mill tax for scalps must be levied by Multnomah County, or whether the state levies the tax. The matter was yesterday referred to District Attorney Chamberlain for his opinion. The tax levy will not bo made until this question Is settled. EARLY CURTAIN TONIGHT.

TAKEN TO STATE'S PRISON TWO CONVICTED MEN SALEM. SENT TO Nevr Policy Inaugurated Tovrards Prisoners Whose Counsel Are Dil atory With. Bill of Exceptions. James L. Warren, under life sentence for the murder of William Kirk, and J George Dixon, the deed forger, sen tenced to 10 years in prison, were taKen to the penitentiary yesterday afternoon by Deputy Sheriff Horace Thielsen. Both of these defendants have filed notice of appeal to the higher court, but Judge George yesterday denied the motion for certificate of probable cause, which would have the effect of keeping the men here In the County Jail until the cases on appeal have been decided. The action was anticipated on account of the recent decision by Justice Wolverton, re fusing to reverse the action of Judge George in previously declining to order certificates of probable cause In these cases. The Supreme Justice held the mat ter to be one within the discretion of the trial court. A. S. Clark, one of the attorneys for the defendants, stated when the motion J to have the commitments stayed was renewed, that he could do nothing more for tho poor unfortunates who were lan gulshlng In Jail, but must submit to the order of the court. He intimated that it was done merely that the County of . Multnomah might thrust upon the shoul- ders of the great State of Oregon the burden of paying board for the prison- r fnr thp next 30 or 60 davs. while the appeal was being perfected. He declared this was not Justice to tne men, ana that when they once donned the stripes, their degradation had commenced, and the term of servitude amounted to but little. In civil cases, he said, the appel lant has sufficient time, and he thought the prisoners at the bar should granted the same Justice. District Attorney Chamberlain, in be I ply, said that the attorney had saia Dut little in regard to the case, but had passed a mild censure on the District At- tornev that the real motive was to en able the County of Multnomah to es cape the payment of a few dollars for "the board of the prisoners, which was untrue. The only motive was to see the laws of Oregon vindicated. Continuing, Mr. Chamberlain said: . .!..... .... . Vio. wii(fn namf in miutuci woe ,..,....... "named as co-respondents. Mrs. Llndsey un Dcrore x was in ims uiuiw, we uc- fonse has cast all possible obstacles in the way. and In an entire year haa not perfected the appeal or presented the bill of exceptions. This was not the fault of the court. When I did come into that case, I was so unionunaie as iu iun u against a mutilated record, a matter to which I would not refer if my motives In the present Instance had not been Impugned. The writ of probable cause was granted in that case some time 'ago, and nothing may be done. In the mean time, witnesses for the state may disap pear, and if the matter should come to trial a second time. It might be difficult for the state to make out a case. Take the trial of Warren. He was convictea of murder and sentenced to life Imprls - onment last October, but notning nas been seen of the bill of exceptions. A similar state of affairs exists in tho Dixon case, and I will Insist that the bill of exceptions In cases of this kind bo prepared more promptly." Mr. Clark, who did not appear as coun sel at the McDaniel trial, although his present partner, Henry t. Rayner. did, remarked that he did not wish to say anything at which counsel might take offense. As to the McDaniel case, which had been mentioned, he knew little and cared nothing about It. Judge George, In granting the motion, stated that he saw but one path open to him, and that was to commit the prisoners. Their rights of- appeal would not be Injured in the least by this action. McDaniel remains here because a cer tificate of probable cause was allowed in his case a long time ago. Decision Todny.

Schnabel appeared for the defendant and asksd that the sentence be light on account of the boy's mother, who needed his as slstance in the support of a large family, and also stating that It was his first offense and he promised to reform. Ed Tibbetts pleaded guilty, to a charge You: KH GLOVES? Take prices they are now of uttering a' forged check for $185 and was sentenced to two years in the pen itentiary. He comes of a good family in this city, and was tince employed as bookkeeper in a mercantile house. Mattle Miller, an old offender, pleaded guilty to larceny and was sentenced lo two months In the County Jail. She was tried and committed in the lower court, but took an appeal and yesterday chang ed her mind about standing trial. She was let off easily because she has al ready been in Jail two months. Conrt Notes. The Inventory In the matter of the estate of Sarah J. Noyes, deceased, was filed yesterday. The appraised value of the property Is $73S5. The final account of Edwin J. Taylor, executor of the will of James Taylor, deceased, has been filed. The receipts were $4oi6. A bequest of $700 was paid to Sophia Purson, and administration cf $SS9 each was made to George, Mary J., Emma E. and Edwin J. Taylor. The trial of the suit of Mary E. Hart against R. A. Frame, a money-broker, to recover" $390, was begun in Judge Prazer's court yesterday. Mrs. Hart asserts that this sum is due to her as the balance of a loan of $2900, and Frame denies owing her anything. The parties have previ ously had trouble, and the trial promises to be a spirited one. Joseph & Schlagel appear as attorneys for the plaintiff, and Judge Pipes for the defense. In the suit of S. W. Sigler' against the City of Portland regarding the payment of a Portland Heights street improve ment, Judge Cleland yesterday overruled "e uemurrer to me complaint, ana tne case which has been in court for eight years, will soon come up for trial. The c"y contended that a recent decision of the Supreme Court knocked this suit ut, but in overruling the demurrer the court refused to sustain the contention. Sallle Carlson has begun suit against J. P. Carlson for a divorce on account of desertion said to have occurred In July, 1S99, and she also charges him with infidelity. The parties were married in Portland In 1895. The plaintiff alleges that she Is the owner of a, house and lot at Astoria, which she soys she deeded to her husband in trust and she asks that It be restored to her, and also that she be permitted to resume her maiden name, Kenpler. The papers were served by the Sheriff of Clatsop County. ' The divorce suit of J, W. Lindsey against Maggie Llndsey occupied the time In Judge Cleland's court yesterday, and the hearing will be resumed this morning. Llndsey charges his wife with having been unfaithful to her marriage vows. Frank Swanks and one Dodson are 1 . it, ooVc fm. ; nocniirinc also asks for a decree dissolving the mat rimonial bonds, and in her crossbill ac cuses her husband of cruel treatment. There is a contest over property rights, and also concerning the legal custody of their child. Llndsey admitted having been divorced from a former wife. A large number of witnesses have been called. AN EMPIRE IN ITSELF. WTiat Harney Connty Wonld Be WlthRailroad Connection. Southeastern Oregon is the best place on earth for homeseekers to go. in the , opinion of' George W. Hayes, Register of the UnltedStates Land Office at Burns, Harney County. "We have 9,500,000 acres of public lands open for settlement," he said, yesterday at the Perkins, "and .one fifth of thjs area is good agricultural ) soil. The whole vast region is excellent pasture land and Is now supporting great numbers of cattle, horses and sheep. ! . "We "have one valley 63 miles long, by 30 miles in width which Is so level that oner can drive for fully 65 miles along Its length without reaching an elevation of 23 feet. The soil produces well, with out Irrigation, and water can be found at a depth of eight feet over nearly the whole surface of the valley. If irrigation were resorted to. an abundance of water could be stored in the adjacent mountains with the aid of well-located dams. "Although this valley has an elevation of 4,444 feet above sea level, fruits and vejy- l etables are raised in the highest pT-' j fection. while the wheats grown in the !

Mr Hayes says his land distdlct is as big as a good-sized state. It embraces the greater part of six Eastern Oregon counties, and settlers therefore come a long distance to file, prove up, and attend to contest cases. The business of the Burns land office has not been very large of late, because settlers do not come to take up land so remote from the rail roads. When any of these lines are once assured, matters will asume a llyely turn and the region will begin to develop rapidly. There are no odd sec tions claimed by railroad companies," and the only grant In the district is that of 'the Willamette Valley & Cascade Wagon Road, which embraces 200.000 acres In Harney County alone. The town c Burns Is within the boundaries bf this grant, but town lots are not held at very high figures, good locations being avail able at $50 each, for lots 50x100 in size. Ho thinks Burns will 'always bq a good town as Its location Is so favorable that a railroad survey through Harney Valley could hardly avoid lt The livestock Industry Is about all that thrives in that region now, but stockmen do not interfere wrth the settlement of I the country even wherethe publlce lancm have been Inclosed with the deeded lands of the stockmen. Mr. Hayes likes the climate of Harney Valley as neither heat nor cold is ever oppressive. The highest point recorded by the thermometer in Summer Is 104, and the lowest 25 below, but Jthese in ex treme, cases, the ordinary se'ason falling much Bhort of these figures. The heat is never uncomfortable because the at mosphere is dry; and the cold is not felt very keenly, as the air Is perfectly still while the quicksilver Is shrinking to the .zero mark "I might mention one enterprise in our district which is belng developed to the benefit of San Francisco instead of Port land," Mr. Hayes, concluded, "and that is the digging of- Borax, 110 miles south east of Burns.

Inasmuch as the men of Woodstock have been referred to as "hegs," because it has been said that they have agreed not to surrender their seats to ladies, I am asked to state the "facts of the case" to the readers of The Oregonian. Travel on this branch of the City & Suburban has greatly increased during the past iyear or two. It has grown 60 large that the evening cars are iouna maaequaie to accommodate It, so at the solicitation of Its patrons the company, about two months ago, added an extra car, to run between Third and East Twenty-First streets, during the hours of the con gestion. Singular to relate, however, the very people it was Intended to serve de- cllne to ride on It. -It was first thought that the cause .of j this declination was the lack of knowledge on the, part 'of those persons respecting the purposes of this car. hence those passengers residing east of East Tjventy-First street, made i a'pointto 'fsprea'd-'thVBlad'tfdlngs of M Refurnish the Home 2 At Little Cost 1 mfiis M$i w Hi A mi? -. . . h Have You Supplied g the Linen Closet? gj 1 m If not, only two days remain in which to choose at present prices.

Clinton-streeters and those west of the special car's terminus still refuse to be accommodated by the new. servlqe, hence the resolve of the Woodstbckers no longer to work all day and stand up in a car crowded to suf focation during the 40 minutes' ride to their homes. The Clinton-street car precedes the Woodstock car by about two minutes, and just why the persons for whom the service Is intended so ear- . - - nestly repel It. is something Woodstock- ers fall to comprehend. Some allege that if conductors would announce the car before its departure from Third and Yamhill, the remedy would be applied others remark that the omission Is In tentional, because the company desires to demonstrate that the added service Is superfluous, and will use this as a pre text for Its discontinuance. At all events the Clinton-street car "trudges Its weary way" almost entirely unoccupied, while the following Woodstock car is so. bad ly crowded that it is next to Impossible to obtain a foothold on Its steps.
