Conforming to the terms of the state inheritance tax law passed at the last Legislative -session, the Superior Court of this county recently appointed a board of appraisers to ascer tain the value of the estate of the late Mrs. A. H. H. Stuart, the object being primarily to secure to the state the proper per centum. According to the report Just filed the total valuation placed on the es tate is $72,710 35, as follows: Personal property, ?13,0G0 35; real property, J27.CW. The itemized list of the property is very extensive. Mrs. Stuart was possessed of considerable ready money. She had cer tificates of deposit representing no less than $26,043, as follows: With Ladd & Til ton, Portland bankers, $10,331; In the Olympla National Bank. $S100; in the Capital National Bank, $S21L At the time of her death she had in cash on hand $3312 20. The appraisers find that her Jewelry, all bequeathed, is valued at $937 75, which appears a small valuation. Judging by the number of separate articles that appeared In the published will. The property is known as the Stuart block Is valued at $26,G5p, which will be generally considered a fair valuation. She held various notes agalnstlocal people, all of which would appear to-be secured, and they will aggre gate in face value approximately $12,000. There is some question as to Just how much the state is entitled to, under the provisions of the inheritance tax law. Ac cording to one interpretation about $3000 would go to the state, but5 there is a suit testing the law now in the Supreme Court that may alter this considerably, and the amount finally to be taxed against the estate may be much less, -t DELEGATES FROM WALLA WALLA.

OREGON CITY, April 3. A large delegation of citizens attended the Council meeting last night to watch the action of the municipal body on a petition asking for the enforcement of laws relating to gambling. The petition bore the signatures of S0Q legal voters and 450 wives, mothers and daughters. In support of the petitlon,"Rev. A. J. Montgomery, pastor of the First Presby terian Church, addressed the Council. He insisted that the laws be enforced. The petitioners were not after hidden gamb ling, because they knew It could not be suppressed. They were after slot ma chines and open gambling and wanted the saloon men to be given to understand that gambling would not be tolerated. The matter was discussed at fomc length and Mayor DImIck stated that there was no open gambling In the city, to the knowl edge of the" authorities. Most of the agi tation has started from hearsay evidence. As long as he possessed executive au thority the affairs of the city should be conducted exactly as they had been In the past. Councilman Goerner introduced the following resolution, which was adopted: "Resolved, That the City Council Is in full sympathy with the sentiments ex pressed In this petition, and considering the fact that the Mayor, by virtue of his o ce, is the executive of all city ordi nances, we refer the petition to His Honor." Aside from conducting a campaign of education, the anti-gambling crusade haa accomplished little. Mr. Montgomery Is satisfied, however. He did not expect, with the present administration, to suc ceed In having open gambling suppressed. Ho said today that the agitation had opened the way for a strong move at the next city election, when he expects to fight the question out on its merlta For Rail-war Franchise. An ordinance was presented by the Port land City & Oregon Railway Ccmpany asking for a 25-year franchise to operate freight, passenger and express cars on Main street and on Third street from Main street to the Willamette River. The fran chise asked for Is practically the same as the one which Fred S. Morris secured from the Council In December, 1900. The Circuit Court declared the Morris fran chise void. The railway company is pre paring to appeal from the decision of the Circuit Court to the Supreme Court. The matter was referred to Councilmen Koerner, Huntley and Sheahan, with In structions to Tcport at an adjourned meet ing to bo held next Tuesday evening. Smallpox Scare. Rumors of the existence of several cases of smallpox at Gladstone have been cir culated about the city for several days, and this morning the Board of County Commissioners sent County Physician C. A. Stuart and Dr. W. E. Carll to Glad stone. They found five cases in the fam ily of Harvey E. Cross. Mr. Cross and four of his children are convalescing from varioloid. Captain J. T. Apperson and Judge William Galloway reported that Mr. Cross had attended church last Sun day, and had told Captain Apperson that he believed that he was coming down with smallpox. The family was ordered tore maln in close quarantine for several days. At Clackamas Heights there are three cases in the family of Alex Brown, all children. All of the cases are of a mild form. It is believed by the physicians that half of the people in the city have been exposed. The Board of Directors of the Oregon City public schools have made an order that all children attending school must be vaccinated before Monday or show a certificate from a physician that vaccina tion is not necessary. The authorities are taking active measures against the possible spread of the disease. Drinking; Fountain. Tho Council appropriated $100 for a drinking fountain on Main street. This sum is to defray half of the- cost, and the balance will be contributed by tho Clack amas County Humane Society. Preparing: for Encampment.

It is the intention of Company A to place in the field the strongest and best-drilled company In the state on the field at the coming encampment. Want Higher Wagres. Seventy-three employes of the Wlllam- r ette Pulp & Paper Company and the Crown Paper Company last night formed a branch of the American Federation of Labor. It Is supposed that the men have united to obtain a higher scalo of wages. The same wages are paid for 10 hours of day work as. for 12 hours of night work.
