Has Not Come Down Yet. An accident
or incident connected 'with exploding fire
works occurred 3uonday afternoon which
Tms not been reported, as the results are
not definite! known. Some one had rigged
up a stand lor the sale of soda water,
beer, etc., in a little grove in Upper Al
blna, near Williams avenue, and during
the afternoon had driven a thriving trade.
Finally two men come into the grove and
seated themaehes at a table and called
for beer, which was supplied, and they
drank several bottles. Then one of them
foil asleep in his chair and snored like a
cataract, till most of the customers moved
further away. The other of the two men
appeared to be of a Joking nature, as he
did not disturb his friend, but calling a
hoj, gave him a half-dollar to go to a
fireworks stand and buy some big bombs
the kind wrapped around with bamboo
splints, which make a noise like a Japan
ese torpedo, and have force enough to
sink a battleship. The boy returned with
a lot of these explosives and was directed
to pile them on a stove and place them
under the table at w hich the sleeping man
was sitting. His friend then gave the boy
a dime to touch them off, as he boarded a
car which was seen coming. When the
bombs exploded the table was lifted sev
eral feet in the air, and the sleeping man
was thrown over backward. He was badly
shaken up, but scrambled to his feet, and
gazing around in a dazed condition. In
quired what had become of his friend. A
boy standing near, and gazing skyward,
said: "He has not 'come down yet." So
far as known he has not yet come down,
but his friend got tired of waiting for him
and finally went home.
Plunged From the Lusted-Hill Road.
Dr. F. A. Short, of Gresham, and Frank
Southers, an insurance man, went over
the grade w hlle drh Ing dow n Lusted's hill
to the Upper Sandy bridge, a few days
ago, and both had a narrow escape.
Southers received injuries which will lay
him up for some time. The doctor escaped
with a few bruises, but his horse was
killed and his buggy wrecked. As Dr.
.Short was driving down, his horse became
frightened and dragged the vehicle and
the two men over the side of the road into
the chasm, filled with rocks, logs and
stumps. Southers was injured about the
shouldors and hips, but was finally picked
up by Dr. Short and brought to Gresham,
and finally to his home in Portland. The
horse was hurt so badly that it had to be
shot. What remained of the buggy was
recovored and brought to Gresham. From
their fearful plunge over the side of the
road down the steep slope of the Lusted
hill, it seemed that the escape of Dr.
Short and Mr. Southers from being killed
was most wonderful.
New Building for Baby Home. Sev
eral members of the finance committee of
the Baby Hume were out at the grounds
Saturday making an investigation as to
the proper place to locate the hospital,
when the new building is erected, which
will now be started within a short time.
F. Aiken, Ben Selling and A. L. Keenan
composed the party. The intention is to
move the present building, which has
sorved as the Home for the past 12 years,
to oneslde, and put up a modern building,
according to the plans which have been
prepared by Chappol Browne. A hospital
has been needed for a long time, so that
when one or more of the babies contract
a contagious disease they may be isolated
from the rest. The- new building has been
planned especially for the care of chil
dren and the convenience of the attend
ants A member of the finance commit
tee sain yesterday the money was coming
along po satisfactorily that It was con
templated to start construction within a
short time.

tire 'country.

Burplars broke into and robbed the Roose
velt! Saloon, at Sixth and Davis streets,
early yesterday morning, but their booty

tectives Snow and Kerrigan were detailed

Photographs as Advertishicents.
Portland la not being entirely left in the
cold in the matter of being advertised
abroad. The fine panoramic views of the
city, taken by L. Henriohsen and made
up In splendid style by the best artists in
Germany, are attracting much attention
wherever seen, and show off In fine style
the natural beauties of Portland and Its
surroundings. The "Birdseye View of
Portland," by the Lawrence Publishing
Company, a partial representation of
which appeared in The Oregonian of June
12, is also attracting attention abroad,
even among the Isles of the sea, as an In
quiry in regard to the cost and best meth
od of obtaining these views has been re
ceived from Honolulu. The most beautiful
thing seen yet In this line consists of five
views of F. D. Matthews' rose garden,
taken by an artist In the employ of the O.
R. & N. Company, and intended to illus
trate a magazine or tourists' guldo being
got up by that company. The pictures
are not to be equaled, the show made by
the roses being superb, especially one of
a girl standing embowered by blossoms In
an opening in the center of a circular
bed, and another representing Mr.
Matthews standing under a huge bush
laden with Caroline Testout roses. A
glimpse of these will make Dean Hole,
the great English rosarian, desire to
"hunt his hole" and remain hidden in It.
These pictures will be sent abroad over
the face of the earth, and will excite
wonder and admiration wherever seen.
They will cause many to desire to see the
land where such roses are grown, as can
be produced nowhere else but In Oregon.
Prospects for Good Apple Crop.
There Is every prospect of a bumper crop
of apples in Hood River Valley this sea
son, judging from the report of Eggart,
who has Just returned from that section.
He has set men at work thinning out the
fruit on his trees, being Informed that the
apples hang on the boughs in clusters,
like currants on bushes. He went all over
bis orchard, which comprises 1200 trees, G
years old, to see how much fruit It had
been necessary to remove, and found the
ground literally covered with apples about
one-third grown. Selecting a tree which
he thought was a fair average specimen
of the orchard, he counted the apples re
moved and found there were 410, and then
he counted the apples remaining in the
tree, a liberal supply, and found that
there were 300 of thCm. Just what would
have happened had the fruit not been
thinned out is difficult to say, but prob
ably many of the trees would have broken
down under their loads, and the apples
which remained to be harvested would
not have been of large or uniform size.
There is such a thing as an orchard being
too productive.
General Grant's Log Cabin Wanted.
P. Pferdner and H. E. Dosch, a committee
from the Department Encampment of the
Grand Army, recently held at Hood River,
appointed to solicit the loan of General
Grant's log cabin, now on exhibition at
the St. Louis Exposition, for exhibition at
the Lewis and Clark Fair, have asked the
co-operation of the Chamber of Commerce
In securing the consent of the owner of
the property, C. F. Blanke, of Chicago, to
Its transportation to this city. Mr. Blanke
seems to be unwilling to trust his property
In the West, or at least has not given
his consent, and the committee asks the
Chamber of Commerce to petition tho
gentleman for the favor. Mayor Williams
has consented to write a personal letter
to Mr. Blanke in behalf of the committee,
while the matter will be brought before
the City Council for its action.
Thieves Bust On Fourth. A number
of small robberies were reported to the
police yesterday morning, most of which
occurred early yesterday morning or late
on the night of July 4. E. S. Young, who

East Washington street, who says she

With the aid of piles and a few dolphins
along the channel of the draw of the Morrison-street
bridge, river boats may be
taken through without danger. With this
understanding the difficulty as to the new
draw pier of the bridge Is eliminated, and
there Is small chanco that the bridge will
be closed to street-cars for a longer period

AMUSEMENTS
The Star's Greatest Bill.
The appearance of Dereriaa and Green
at the Star Theater, Portland's fireproof
playhouse, is by far the most interesting
vaudeville event of the season. These
two clever jugglers have played In the
great European theaters and the same
identical act that won approval from
crowned heads Is given In Portland. The
act Is full of comedy as well as the most
skillful juggling of parti-colored clubs,
presenting a most brilliant spectacle.
The female impersonation of the Divine
Dodson is a ready mirthmaker. Dodson
is a clear-voiced singer, and has all the
wiles of a coquettish soubrette. The La
Tour sisters are two soubrettes, who wear
handsome costumes and sing catchy songs.
Emlle Chevrial, the Parisian violinist,
does wonders on the'violln, abandoning the
bow for a feather, a shoe and even a
washboard. The Randolphs in a Chinese
novelty act, Illustrated songs, and the
adventures of Don Quixote by the pro
jectoscope make up a great bill.
Johnny Brace is. making a great hit
with his funny black-face monologue.
Monday be appeared In the afternoon at
the Arcade because one act of that the
ater had been delayed, but his cqntract is
with the Star, and he is not engaged to
appear at both theaters. The programme
at the Star and The Arcade are entirely
distinct.
The orchestra at the Star is popular
with the audience, and management has
also provided a ladles maid and ladles'
waiting-room for the comfort of women
patrons.
Friday a coupon will be published worth
5 cents toward admission at the Star's
Friday afternoon matinee.
Great Acrobats at the Arcade.
The Fowlers present the best act on an
exceedingly excellent bill at the Arcade
Theater this week. They are acrobatic
marvels, and they do stunts that sur
prise and startle. A head-to-head balance
is only one of the wonders. The three
McDonald sisters are a trio of pretty
dancing and singing soubrettes; Harry
Newman is an eccentric comedian, full of
merry quips. Neela does difficult juggling
tricks with an ease and grace that is sur
prising. Emerson and Lynch aro two
comedians who abandon the time-worn
track ,and strike out into new fields of
.comedy. Kate Coyle sings a patriotic
illustrated song, "The Spirit of 'IS." The
American Bioscope presents a new series
of moving pictures.
Friday night is amateur night at the
Arcade Theater, and In addition to the
regular programme well-known local
amateurs will do some acts worth seeing.
Pigs That Tell Your Age.
Nearly everyone in this town has been
on a farm at ono time or another. And
the pigs have always been part of tho
rural menagerie. But this week at tho
Bijou, the old farm pig with a college ed
ucation and a post-graduate course is
seen in tho turn called "Farmer Jones
and His Educated PJgs." They tell the
hour, play musical bells, toll the age of
old maids In the audience, and put up a
good show all by themselves. The Lyric
is also exhibiting the World's Fair pho
tographs, by means of the vltascope. The
Rapiers have a comedy skit, Montgomery
and Montrose do a hobo and soubrette
turn, Edna Foley sings some s.wect illus
trated songs, and the firm of Kohl & Co.
are acrobats.
Cut Rates in Good Music
To hear a fine violinist usually costs
J2 or more; to hear Paul Boulon, the vio
linist at the Lyric this week, costs just
one-twentieth of that sum. The rest of
the show is well balanced, for there are
the Juggling Thorns, who do marvelous
things with ordinary kitchen utensils.
The man spins a washtub on a chair leg
then balances the chair on his chin.
The Hirschorns, dressed in natty Alpine
costumes, appear In a popular turn with
their harp-playing and warbling. They
crowd tho other two for the premier po
sition on the bill. Raymond G. Baldwin
sings "Down on the Farm" in a new way.
The Glrards knpw how to do good ac
robatic stunts, and Charles Dally does a
black-face turn. And the Vltascope is
better than usual.
Cordray's Great Attraction.
Instantaneous success marked the pro
duction here of "Just Struck Town," tho
great rural comedy-drama at Cordray's
this week. Everywhere Is heard the most
enthusiastic approval of It. Hulda Gun
derson. the funny Swedish girl, has won
a home In Portland. Tho flood scene and
the thrilling rescue are among the great
est of stage spectacles. The country fair
is wonderfully realistic, and each of the
great scenes la in keeping. Elmer Walters
and his fine company are all artists.
Portland's most popular dramatic offer
ing Is "Just Struck Town" at Cordray's.
"Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" Friday night.
She's a Queen.
An evening of entertainment An even

Funny comedy. Dazzling dancing. That's

TAX BLUNDERS ARE MANY
CHAS. J. SCHNABEL COMPLAINS
OF NUMEROUS ERRORS.
He Declares Lax Methods Are UsecfYn
Making Assessments, Levying
Taxes, Transcribing Records.
PORTLAND, July 4. (To the Editor.)
Following, Is a circular letter sent 'out
by the couiityj t
Dear Sir: Below find statement of amount of
delinquent taxes due om your property. i
Multnomah. County will commence on July 5,
to dispose of all its Interest In said property,
to Individuals. When it floerf so, you will be
at their mercy.
The rolls have been thoroughly checked, and
there can be no question In regard to the cor
rectness ot them.
The ear referred to below Is date of atate
and county taxe, not ctr.
Remit by express or'Postofflce money orders.
Checks on banks outside of city not accepted.
Yours respectfully,
F. S. FIELDS, County Clerk.
This letter, sent out by the county Just
onjthe eve of a change In certain county
officers, make it quite proper to call at
tention to the loose way in which assess
ments on real property have been made,
taxes levied and records transcribed; the
self-assurance offered "that the roll3 have
been thoroughly checked, and there can
be no question in regard to the correct
ness of them" has been disproved In four
instances N conilng under my observation
the past week.
In ono case thji client wen Informed that
his taxes for the year 1895 had not been
paid; this Involved time and labor on the
part of client and he had to look through
his old tax receipts and take thom to the
Courthouse, and upon exhibiting them,
was told that the then Sheriff had failed
to make proper credit on the tax roll;
however, the receipt was taken as suf
ficient evidence that the taxes were paid,
but In order to formally cancel them of
record ho must employ coun.se! and pre
sent a petition to the County Court
Client No. 2 receives a notice that ho
is delinquent for taxes assessed in 1S96;
he Is made to "dig" up his receipt show
ing payment when a search Is made at
the Courthouse and It Is found that .they
were credited to another man owning lots
In the same block. Tho result Is the
county loses the tax tha other man should
have paid.
Client No. 3 is notified that his taxes on
a certain lot and block in Caruther's Ad
dition Is delinquent and unless paid at
once will be sold at public vendue to a
broker. ThlB man spends an entire day
looking up his old receipts, and after
much trouble, finds It takes It to the
Courthouse, and in tracing the matter up
finds some transcribing clerk wrot& "Ca
ruther's Addition" Instead of "Carter's
Addition." The assessment laws, not al
lowing a county to correct the mistake
and reassess, the "Carter Addition" man
loses that tax to the county, funds.
Another client, a poor old lady, receives
a notice, becomes frightened, does not
stop long enough tcTlook up her old re
ceipts or to get advice, pays what Is de
manded and later on finds "that a similar
error was made In her Instance, hut hay
ing paid, cannot get her money back.
These four Instances, coming right after
each other, no doubt Is the experience
with many others, and much. If not all,
of these annoyances and delinquent col
lections could be avoided if more care was
exercised, first In making the assessment,
1. e., by follow Jng out, step by step, the
requirements of tho )&vv, among others,
assessing each lot or parcel of land sepa
rately, not In gross, following the same
practice when it comes to selling them at
Sheriff's sale; further, to having greater
care taken In the Collection Department
In seeing that payments are properly
credited, etc Taxpayers ought not to be
subjected to these many and petty an
noyances and because of blunders thus
committed by public servants, become the
Illegitimate prey of "tax-deed brokers,"
or else go to the expense of Instituting
suits to quiet title, thus practically paying
the tax over again in the shape of costs,
fees and expenses. What private firm or
individual would retain in his employ such
Incompetent, blundering clerks or em
ployes, and why should the county?
It Is to be hoped that the Incoming offi
cials will profit by these experiences, com
ply with every technical requirement of
the laws in the first Instance by making
every assessment legal In every sense of
the term; have 'each sale made In full
compliance with the statute, and have all
entries made properly. Then there will be
less delinquents; for, be It remembered,
that as long as, some technical Irregu
larity can be discovered In the matter of
assessment of property, or the attempted
sale by the Sheriff, just so long will one
find a large number of evading taxpayers.
If there Is less laxity In carrying out or
executing the assessment and tax laws,
there will bo a smaller delinquent list and
tho profits of usurious tax-salo brokers
cut off and tho county, as well as tax
payers, become the real beneficiaries
thereby. CHARLES J. SCHNABEL.
