THE OKEGONIA, THUBSDA.Y, DECEMBER 22, 190. TAX 18 38 MILLS Will Be Larger Without Bonds for High School, LOWER THAN LAST LEVY increase of Two Mills Will Be Re quired if High School Is Built by Taxation Former Levies Are Compared. The total tax levy to be made on prop rty -within the Portland city limits next Fear will be very close to 38.5 mills, if money to build a new High School is to be raised from bonding the district In stead of from taxation . Otherwise 2 mills additional will be needed. The levies for the various departments of government, compared with those made this year and In 1903, will be about as follows: 1905. 1904. 1903. Mills. Mills. Mills. State 5.6 7.5 5.0 Etate School 5.0 5.0 5.0 County 6.4 6.4 6.7 Road 2.1 2.1 2.7 Special county (li brary) 2 .2 .2 Port of Portland.... 2.7 2.8 1.5 City of Portland 9.5 9.5 9.5 Fire boat (special) ... 1.5 School District No. 1 6.6 6.5 4.5 Totals 3S.1 40.0 36.6 The foregoing items of the levy are very close to those that will be adopted by the several departments of government, and the total will vary but a small fraction of a mill from the above, provided that 2 mills shall not be added for a new high Echool. The Board of School Directors has recommended this levy to the tax payers of the district, who will meet next Tuesday to fix the tax. Yesterday the City Council decided on a levy of $ mills. The Port of Portland Commission has already levied 2.7 mills. The state school levy will doubtless be 5 mills, tho same as this year. County Judge Webster said yesterday that the same levies will probably be made for general county purposes, and for the road fund as before. The state levy will be considerable less, as 5.6 mllles will raise Multnomah's quota of the $1,000,000 that the state will need from taxation. Sec rotary of State Dunbar has estimated the total expenses of the state for the com ing year at 51.140.000, of which $100,000 will come from the Eddy corporation tax and $40,000 from other sources. As Multnomah pays 31.23 per cent of the state tax. its share of the $1,000,000 will be $312,300, - to raise which a levy of 5.6 mills will have to be made on the county's assessed val uation Of $56,427,577. TTAT.T. BEACHES OUT. Seattle Magnate Is After Princeton Pitcher. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 2L (Special.) Buss Hall is doing business with Charley Reilly and Homer Hlldebrand, who played with, him when -he was in the Pacific Nn tlonal League. Reilly played third base and managed Spokane last year, but it is an open secret that he would like to be back in this league. In case Hall signs Reilly, he will be played at third in place of Delehanty, who will either be traded or changed to first. Hlldebrand, the other player the Seattle manager, wants. Is the Princeton College catcher who played a "brief engagement with Oakland after the Pacific National League blew up. Lehman tried hard to hold Hlldebrand the rest of the season, but he was bent on going back to his father's ranch in North Dakota, and only played a few games with Pete. In the short time he was here the Princeton man made a fine impression. George P. McNear second. Golden Buck third; time, 1:11. . Second race, five and a half furlongs- Sad Sam won.

BALL-TWIRLER IN DEMAND. Fisher In Quandary Over Possibility of Losing Overall and Graham Mike Fisher, king of the Tacoma Tigers, may not after all lose Captain Charley Graham and Pitcher "Ovle" Overajl. Both players were drafted by the major leagues and for a time Fisher felt that he would find it necessary to secure another cap tain and catcher and another pitcher. It bo happens, however, that neither Gra ham nor Overall had reserve clauses in their contracts, so they are at liberty to either accept the offer or reject them. It is a well-known fact that Graham has been trying to get out of the baseball business for several years. He has a lucrative cracker manufacturing business In California, to which he is anxious to devote his entire attention. He would have stayed out of the game last year, but Fisher needed him, inasmuch as he was entering a new town, so Graham consented to play ball another year. With Overall it is different. Overall was draft ed by Cincinnati, and was anxious to ap pear in fast company. Since Cincinnati drafted the big pitcher, he has sent the Red manager his terms. They were ex ceedingly high, and as yet he has received no response. Fisher in the meantime has not been idle. The King of the Bengals has made Overall a splendid offer, and the big fellow who was so instrumental in Tacoma's winning the pennant may again sport a Tiger uniform. It now looks as If Fisher would have his champions Intact for 1905. GOLD ROSE'S FIFTH VICTORY. TnYeo Short-Enders Finish First oji Ascot Track. EOS ANGELES, Dec 21.

Thousands of Mill Men May Thrown Out of Work. a NEW YORK, Dec 21. Dispatches from Western Pennsylvania are to the effect that industrial activity In many centers is threatened on account of the protract ed drouth. Unless conditions change soon it Is possible thousands of men may be thrown out of employment in the mills, mines and coke fields. This has been the longest drouth and the dryest year, according to the records for that section, since 1871. There is one-half foot of snow on the ground, but even should it melt the situation would not be relieved. The snow, however, has saved many persons and cattle from thirst. In the Allegheny Mountains and along the foot hills melted snow is used extensively. The mines in the mountains are reported to have used sulphur water until the pipes and boilers have been greatly damaged. Officials of the railroad east of Pitts burg are experiencing great difficulty in keeping their tanks supplied. Mountain streams in which past years were pro duced a fahiy abundant amount of water are drained, and despite the fact that trains are being used to transport water from far Eastern points, it is said to be difficult to meet the demands of the Pitts burg division. In the towns along the Pennsylvania Railroad various water companies have ordered all bathtubs shut off. Many manufacturing industries have not had any water for a week. At La trobe firemen when called by an alarm could not get water to extinguish a blaze. They stood by and saw a house and barn burn down. The water company at Irwin is issuing only a limited supply daily. Beginning at Gresson. on the mountain top, to the bottom of the range, water is being carried in barrels. The Alle gheny River Is pouring out a fair supply of water. The Allegheny and Pittsburg waterworks are supplied from this river, which, however, is gradually getting lower. Towns farther up the Allegheny are in a distressed condition. The Youghlogheny River, running past Connellsvllle and through the coke region, is dry from its source to the mouth, and the Monongahela Ri-er is so low and sul phurous that the water is unfit for use. KTJSSIAN LOAN IN NEW Y0SK. Overtures Said to Have Been Made to a Number of Bankers. NEW YORK, Dec 2L Overtures are reported to have been made to a num ber of local bankers concerning flotation here of a part of the forthcoming Rus sian loan. No definite steps have been taken as yet toward placing the bonds, but bankers express the belief that a fair-sized block will find a market in this city, and there may even be a public offering, as in the case of the two re cent Japanese loans, , which were placed half here and half in Europe. The amount of the new Russian loan, as al ready announced, will be $260,000,000, and it was said that perhaps $65,000,000 of this amount might be placed in this country. This loan was to have been brought- out in January next, but it is now stated that the issue will be postponed prob ably until the middle of February. A certain amount of the previous Rus sian loan was taken in this country on direct subscription, principally by banks and Insurance companies. NATIVES' SKILL INCREASES.

Charles Wanzer, newly appointed City Engineer, called on the Mayor in the City Hall yesterday morning and at 11:25 o'clock took the oath of office, adminis tered by Deputy Auditor "W. S. IOtan, in which he swore to support the Consti tution of the United States and of tho State of Oregon, and to faithfully perform Charles TTanxer, Who Will Be Ciljr Engineer After January 1. to the best of his ability tho ' duties of the office of City Engineer of the City of Portland during his stay In office. Wherefore, Mr. Wanzer is duly quali fied to wield the powers- and to enjoy the immunities as upon him conferred by the law and constitution of the land, and all that remains to make him a full-fledged City Engineer Is to Induct him Into office a ceremony that will be performed prob ably on January 2, the day after New Year's turkey and cranberry sauce shall have gone their proper channeL Among tho archives of the city in the Auditor's big vault reposes Mr. Wanzer's appointment, written and signed by the Mayor's own hand. "You are hereby ap pointed City Engineer of the City of Portland, Or.," runs the document, and ends up short by adding "to take effect January 1, 1905." Mayor "Williams was gratified to hear yesterday that his choice was univer sally approved. Mr. Wanzer Is a well known engineer, with a reputation for efficiency, and the fact that the Mayor repelled political influences in making the selection was commended. Next week Mr. Wanzer and Mr. Elliott will examine the sewer to determine how best to redeem It from its present odium. They will do this at the request of Mayor Williams, who desires to know as soon as possible what ought to be done, and then to do it at once. Both engineers agree that the proper way to save the sewer is to place a layer of concrete on the outside of the tube and then tamp the earth solidly- around it. By this plan the arch will be made much stronger than If the tunnel were reinforced from the In side and the bore will not be lessened, as it would be by the latter method. Mayor Williams says the sewer can be made more durable and satisfactory thereby even than if It had been built to conform to the specifications, and that it will not cost property-owners any "more money than the contract price; indeed, that the cost will be less, because the expense of $3000 for extras will be eliminated. Mayor "Williams has been Informed on what he regards expert authority that 75 per cent of the sewer Is In good shape. What changes Mr. Wanzer will make in the office force was a matter ho would not discuss yesterday: In fact, he would not talk of any plans he had In mind. He excused himself from answering questions ly saying that he was not familiar with the routine of the office. Yesterday reports were circulating that Mr. Elliott would "seek to get even" on certain members of his force whose al leged Inefficiency has caused him trouble and whose services had been forced on him by political pressure, by dismissing them before he steps out, much the sarao as did Sheriff Storey. But Mayor Wil liams denied that any such coup was pos sible, because the charter prevents the discharge of city employes without cause. Mr. Elliott himself said that he had no such scheme In mind. "I expect to lay off three or four men," said he, "but the reason will be that work in the office has slackened up until their services will not be required. I have al ready dismissed three Inspectors for that reason. I shall not discharge any man for Injury that he may have done to me though. In Justice to myself, I ought probably to do so. Mr. Wanzer can find out their Inefficiency and do as he sees fit with them. With Mr. Elliott will go out George Scoggln, who has been drawing $115 a month as assistant. The chief deputy, A. M. Shannon, has been receiving 5115 a month, and the chief draughtsman the same amount. Mr. Elliott said that he had no Intention of taking them out with him. Four surveyors received -a salary of $123 each In November J. S. Hannam, C. M. Wanzer, J. It. Hansen and P. G. .McMullen and two other surveyors $115 W. Xi. Chapman and H. I.. -Chandler. The other highest salaries were drawn by A. L. Powell, C. F. Bodman, William Braden, Inspectors, and E. Landenberg, computer. Mr. Elliotts salary- has been $200 a month. TJynumbor of employes on the payroll'of the cSty Engineer's De partment Jn November was 87, and there were more in October. Of these, six were surveyors, six transltmen, 13 chalnmen. Inspectors, four engineers on street rollers, five sewer repairers, 12 carpen ters and 18 laborers. . TTRT.P FOE SELF-HELPERS. Andrew Carnegie Would Found a Cooper Union In Boston. BOSTON, Dec 21. At a meeting of the Benjamin Franklin Fund managers, of this city, today, a letter was read from President Prltchett, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology containing a pro posal from Andrew Carnegie to duplicate the amount of the fund, $400,000. provided the total be devoted to tho establishment of a school for the industrial training of men and women along the line of the merchants' and tradesmen's school of New York and Cooper Union. Mr. Carnegie further stipulated that the City of Boston should furnish a site for the proposed In stitution. The board voted to thank Mr. Carnegie for his offer and to give the matter early consideration. A committee was appoint ed to study the question of what can be done with the Franklin fund In the way of establishing an institution along the lines of Cooper Union. In his letter to President Prltchett, Mr. Carnegie said: "I am a trustee of both the schools men tloned. and do not hesitate to say that to tho best of my knowledge no money nas produced, more valuable results. think It is from the class -who not only spend iaoonous days but also spend la borious nights fitting themselves for hard work, that tho most valuable citizens aro to come.
