TRANSPORT IS PROMISED
TJEPARXMEXT SHOWING FAIRNESS
TOWARD PORTLAND.
'Senator Mitchell Aslcs That Grant
'Load the Tvrent -eighth Regi
ment Here Probably Will.
It is very "probable that the Twenty--eighth
Infantry, now at "Vancouver Bar
racks, will be sent to the Philippines in
the near future, to relieve troops whose
term of service has expired. With a
view to having the Teglment embark at
this port for their destination, Senator
Mitchell sent the following dispatch to the
War Department Sunday:
Portland, Oct. 27. General "XL L Ludlngton.
Quartermaster-General, "War Department,
"Washington, D. C General: I understand It Is
the intention ot .he .department to transfer to
the Philippines at an -early date the new
Twenty-eighth Regiment of Infantry, recruit
ed at Vancouver Barracks, and ffll now within
the Department qf the Columbia. Cannot the
transport Grant, now at San Francisco, as I
understand, or some other transport, be or
dered -to Portland for the purpose of transport
ing said regiment direct from here to the
33V.Ulpilne;. It can be shown beyond all ques
tion by men thoroughly conversant with the
Columbia and "Willamette Rivers, that ships
are now going up and down these rivers al
most dally,, drawing 22H apd 23 feet with per
fect safety, .and I believe none of the transports
go beyond 23 feet draft.
If this can be done It would go very far
towards alias Ing the feeling- among our people
that they bavo been discriminated against. It
Js my earnest desire that all parties, both the
department and our port, have fair treatment.
Yesterday Senator Mitchell received the
reply as follows:
Washington, D. C, Oct. 28. Hon. John H.
Mitchell, Portland. Or.: Reference to your
itelcgram of 27th, matter of sending Grant
to Portland to load the Twenty-eighth In
iantry. has been considered by the department,
provided Twenty-eighth Infantry Is ordered to
Philippines. Major Long and Colonel Jacobs
are in jcommunlcatlon with each other regard
ing the possibility of the Grant being able to
get up the river drawing 25 feet which will
be her draft after being loaded. If she can
pet up and out of the river In safety, and the
Twenty-eighth Infantry Is ordered to the Phi
lippines. It is most likely she will be sent.
- KIMBALL, Acting Quartermaster-General.
ORDERED HERE.
War Department Will Send the
Grant to Portland.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S. Orders have
.beon issued to send the transport Grant
to "Portland, Or., to take the Twenty-
clGbth Infantry to Manila, if It is found
that there is sufficient water for the ship
to go up the Columbia River.
FOR FREE SWIMMING BATH
Entertaining: Programme at Arlon
Hall by Order of Eastern Star.
A very pleasant entertainment was
given last night at Arlon Hall by Myrtle
Chapter No. 15, of the Order of the East
ern Star, for the benefit of the free bath.
The programme was an exceptionally in
teresting one, doing great credit to those
who prepared It, The large audience was
in a thoroughly genial and appreciative
humor, encoring every number, and re
warding the services of the performers
with choice flowers.
Parsons Orchestra opened the pro
gramme, after which an address was
given by Alexander Kunz, which success
fully broke the ice and set things going
in the right direction. A humorous reci
tation was given by Mrs. Ham, which
brought a hearty laugh and an encore.
Mrs. G. Kuhn contributed a violin solo
that was greatly enjoyed, but called forth
an all too brief response. Miss Nellie
Daley and her teacher, Miss Huggins,'
gave a piano duet that was the occasion
of much pleasant comment from all who
heard it, because of the spirited rendering,
the ability and excellent training of the
young 9-year-old.
The pretty ' dancing of Mildred - Meyers
was one of the most delightful features
of the programme. This was followed by
vocal solos by Miss Gilbert, which
brought some of the warmest applause of
the evening. The Scotch dance by Miss
Millie Houguez, in Highland costume, was
a particularly pleasant novelty. The pro
gramme concluded with the bright one-act
comedy, "All on Account of a Bracelet,"
with the same cast as that of three weeks
ago, when it -was given at Masonic Hall.
It would be well if other organizations
would second this public-spirited effort
to increase the bath fund, for the task
is a most grateful one, as shown by the
large and appreciative audience of last
night at Arlon Hall.
HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION.
Clan Macleay Gives an Enjoyable
Concert and Dance.
Clan Macleay, No. 122, held a pleasant

OREGON FRUIT AT BUFFALO
Its Fame Spread to Carolina 'and
Gets in the Papers.
Oregon's medal fiom the Pomologlcal
Association of America for excellent fruit
has attracted much attention In the East.
As a specimen of the references to It made
by the press, the following, from tho
Charleston (S. C.) News and Courier, is
interesting:
One of the Buffalo papers notes that Oregon
is displaying in the Horticultural building, at
the Pan-American Exposition, a medal award
ed to the state by tho Pomologlcal Association
of America, "for the highest excellence of
fruits," the medal being shown with tho ex
hibits of apples, peaches, pears, plums and
prunes for which the award was made. That
Oregon should hae won the prize from all the
United States and Canada Is, of course, greatly
to the credit of the fruitgrowers" of the state,
but how very much credit belongs to them
will more fully appear from a short statement
of the recent and difficult beclnnlng of their
now thriving industry.
The first fruit trees, it. Is stated by Colonel
H. E. TDosch, commissioner' from Oregon ' to
the Pan-American Exposition, were planted in
tho state -in 1847, and. were one-year grafts
brought all the way across the plains In a
wagon box by a man named Llewolflnp. "They
were planted In the box, "and were watered
faithfully night and morning during the five
months of the Journey." The varieties were
apples, pears, peaches and cherries. The apple
trees bore their first fruit In 1853, and that
ear and the ear after every apple oa. them
was sold for $1 apiece. A little later they
sold for $10 a box of 45 pounds, and sold
quickly at that nrlce. Some of the original
trees are still living, and the state Is now
winning prlz3 for the finest fruit grown on
the continent.
Tho story 1? an Interesting one In Itself, and
It has one plain moral, which Is that natural
disadvantages for the growing of fruit In any
region need not prevent tho development of
the Industry in a very high degree by patient
and Intelligently directed Industry: The record
shows that Oregon did not have a fruit tree
on Its soil 50 years ago, and It Is now among
the foremost fruit-growing states.

TAX LEVY WILL BE LOWER
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TO MAKE
IT IN JANUARY.
Promises o Economy for Next Year
Are Made About $100,000 Cut
Off From Assessment.
The County Board of Equalization has
completed its work of considering pe
titions for reductions of assessments, and
it is estimated that the total amount of
reductions will he about S100.0CO. This
includes the cancellation of an assess
ment of $35,090 on personal property which
cannot be assessed because it has been
removed from Multnomah County. Allow
ing for this, the reductions amount to
only $65,000, out of a total assessment of
?4S,000,Xw.
- The reductions have been for the most
parti on. personal property, and very few
-wcrc-aiIowed..on real restate. Jn consid
ering the latter the bo'ard examined the
assessments of others owning property in
the vicinity of the protestant, and if things
appeared to be about equal no change
was made. Assessor McDonell's work is
said to have been very correct, and his
judgment good.
There are about 10,000 taxpayers alto
gether, and as there were only 200 pe
titions filed asking for reductions, it will
bo seen that the large majority of people
have no time to make complaints, and
are satisfied to accept the valuation
placed upon their property by the As
sessor, aid to assume that he has acted
impartially and intelligently. Some per
sons kick every year, whether their as
sessment is high or low; but unless a good
showing is made, a protest is of no avail,
as the Equalization Board investigates
all matters presented fully before taking
action.
As the assessment of ?1S,000,00 is ?17.
000,000 in excess of what it was a year ago,
the tax levy will necessarily be much
lower. The tax rate will be fixed by the
County Judge and Commlslsoners at the
January session of the County Court.
Judge Cake said yesterday that they
Avlll be able to comply with the popular
demand for a lower levy, and that the
coming year will be one of economy In
county affairs. The levy last year was
33 7 mills. The county levy was only 4
mills, out of which to Improve roads, do
the ordinary county work and pay inter
est on a large amount of outstanding ln
cebtedness represented by warrants.
Then all of the taxes are not collected, as
Is shown by the delinquent roll. Judge
Cake stated further that if all people
would pay their taxes, the county could
meet its obligations. His expression that
the coming year will be one of economy
was concurred in by Commissioner Show
ers, who was standing by when the state
ment was made.
