WORD 18 THE FIRST
Sheriff Pays His Taxes Ahead
of All Others.
HE SETS A GOOD EXAMPLE
Great Task of Collecting Taxes Be
gins Some Persons Taxed Less
Than One Dollar One Man's
Bill Is Thirty Cents.
Sheriff Word was the first person to
pay taxes on the 1P04 assessment roll,
the collection of which was begun yes
terday. The fact had been well adver
tised and the clerks were kept busy
throughout the day. A great many peo
ple called to obtain statements of the
amount of their taxes and will liquidate
later on.
Jn 1903 the Legislature repealed the $300
exemption clause and at the special ses
sion in December, 1903, called to fix up
a tax law muddle, the 5300 exemption
statute was re-enacted. The re-enactment
did not go Into effect In time to
apply to the 1901 assessment because 90
days were required to elapse after the
passage of the bill. Assessor McDonell.
in 1904, therefore assessed all personal
property, large and small. The result is
that the tax roll contains entries of
taxes amounting to as little as 20 cents
against one person, and many other
small amounts. 25 and 50 cents. If people
neglect to pay those trifling sums. It will
cost more to send field deputies out to
collect the amounts than will be realized
from their work. Besides, many persons
will -be found to have moved away and
cannot be located.
ASSERTS HE HAS ONE YEAR.
Attorney St. Rayner Says Walton Ap
peal May Yet Be Filed.
Henry St. Rayner. attorney for Charles
W. Walton says he has not neglected
his -client, although he has not yet filed
notice of appeal to the Supreme Court.
Under the statute he has a year to ap
peal in a criminal case. Mr. St. Rayner
asserts that he has filed the bill of ex
ceptions in the case and has matters In
shape to proceed with the appeal when
ever he gets ready to do so. Judge Cle
land states- that he would not Issue a cer
tificate of probable cause which would
have permitted Walton to remain In the
County Jail pending the decision on ap
peal, because the attorney did not perfect
the appeal.
"I did not want to let Walton stay In
the County Jail five or six months while
Mr. St. Rayner was making up his mind
whether he wants to appeal or not. I
asked the clerk a number of times if a
notice of appeal had been filed and as
certaining that Walton's attorney had
not done so, 1 told him one day to make
Out the commitment."
Walton has a 25 years" sentence before
him. and he received no credit for the
time he spent In the County Jail.
ASKS FOR DAMAGES.
Suit Grows Out of the Sinking of the
Barge Monarch.
B. D. Strauhal, administrator of the es
tate of Otto Pannier, deceased, has sued
the O. R. & N. Co., Oregon Round Lum
ber Company and the Portland & Asiatic
Steamship Company 'to recover $5003 dam
ages. Pannier was drowned on January
10 while loading coal on the steamship
Arabia from the barge Monarch, by the
overturning of the barge. The barge is
owned by the Oregon Round Lumber Com
pany and was in the control of the O.
R. & N. Co when engaged in coaling the
steamship Arabia. The complaint recites
that the barge was In an unseaworthy
condition, and was negligently overloaded.
and that Pannier while at work did not
know of his dangerous position.

WENT TO SEE
THE CARS
Three-Year-Old. Boy Takes Long
Journey Without Escort.
To satisfy a boyish longing to see the
giant engines In the yards of the Term
inal Railroad Company and to watch the
steamboats as they glided along the river.
little Frederick Gregory Olln, strong and
healthy, but under the age of three years.
slipped from the home of his parents yes
terday afternoon, and without hat or coat
to break the strong- wind, wended his way
frpjn 373 East Third street North, and
across the Steel bridge.
In and out among the heavy trucks, de
livery wagons, streetcars and general
traffic that always floods- a river struc
ture, the tiny toddler went, unnoticed by
the hurrying throngs, until he found tho
great roundhouse where scores of mighty
"Iron horses" were puffing. .
At the roundhouse the fair-haired lad
was quickly noticed by the grimy rail
road men, who crowded about him to ad
mire their new-found friend and to In
quire his name and how he came to be out
on such a bitter cold day, hatless and
coatless. unescorted, too.
"I 'tame to tee tars," was all the lad
would say in reply to questions asked
hlm.-
"Better .carry, him to police headquar
ters, where it1!! not be long till his mama
or papa will call for him," suggested a
veteran locomotive engineer to a com
rade of the cab. V
So the railroad man bundled the tiny
mortal Into his arms and started for the
station. At Third and Burnslde he met
Patrolman Endicott, to whom he delivered
his charge. Endicott took the child to
headquarters and turned him over to Cap
tain Moore. The boy was In a hafcpy mood
and played about in the large room be
fore the cheerful fire that blazed In the
heater. He was oblivious of the sur
roundings and cared but to romp and
race.
While the boyish laughter rang through
the station men and women, old in crime,
peered through the bars of their cells to
catch a glimpse of the owner of the sil
vers voice.
"I'd give a million dollars. If I had It.
to be as happy as that baby, and have
life to live over again," said a case-hardened
prisoner to those about him.
Soon the telephone rang and Acting
Sergeant Hogeboom was asked by a
woman If any little boy was at the sta
tion. She was Frederick's mother. She
described her son and was told he was (
there. The father came and carried him
home.
"mat boy is a pippin." said Captain
Moore, and the station staff agreed.
SPEAKS TO LARGE AUDIENCE
Dr. Brougher's Services at White
Temple Proving Interesting.
"What He Got for His Curiosity" was
the topic presented by Dr. Brbugher at
the White Temple last night. In the spe
clal services which are now being held.
There was a large attendance. In spite
of the blustery weather, the services be
ing opened by baptism and the singing of
the Ollphant sisters. Dr. Brougher, in
making announcements, said that he ex
pected to speak next Monday evening on
"Which Is Right: The Editor of the
Evening Telegram or Jesus -Christ?"
apropos of a recent editorial on revivals.
He also referred to the attack on Dr.
Matthews and said that he did not believe
a solitary word of the charge made by ,
the president of the Seattle Council was
true. He further said: "If that man knew !
guilty of the crime of which he charges
him, he would have exposed Dr. Matthews
long before this. The president of the
Seattle Council is In a corner, and he is.
now trying to stir up a lot of mud to
hide his own ..misdoing. I expect to send
Dr. Matthews a telegram assuring him
of my confidence and the sympathy of
this congregation. I hope that he will
stand by his guns and send the dirty-
scoundrel who slanders him to the peni
tentiary." Dr. Brougher's topic for tonight is.
"Why People Commit Suicide." There
will also be baptism.
In "What He Got for His Curiosity."
Dr. Brougher took the incident of
Zachaeus climbing the tree to watch Jesus
pass. Among other things he said: "Curi
osity leads more people Into sin than all
the other faculties. Even Reuben coming
to town Is always nosing around to satis
fy his curiosity. Why should churches
let the gambling dens, theaters and sa
loons excite curiosity and lead mea Into
sin, and we not do It to lead them to
Jesus Christ? "The Lord loves to beat
the devil over his back with his own
stick. Is It not worth while to turn
curiosity where it will lead to good In
stead of to evil? Jesus Christ 'came to
seek and save that which was lost.'
"Zachaeus curiosity led him to do some
thing. He did not have a cotton string
for a backbone, nor a cholocate eclair. He
was not ashamed of the Christ. He came
down from the tree and took Jesus home
with him. He got Christ for his curi
osity." BEADS INTERESTING PAPER.
Mrs. H. C. Wortman Addresses Uni
tarian Alliance on Art.
The members of the Unitarian Alliance
had the pleasure and benefit yesterday of
hearing Mrs. H. C. Wortman read a paper
In which she gave a very thoughtful and
intelligent view of the way to judge pic
tures. Mrs. Wortman is president of the
Art Class, has made a thorough study
of art and has seen a great many of the
world's best paintings, so that her audi
ence yesterday felt thut her ideas were
of much educational vuiue and appreciat
ed the lecture very fully.
We are not each of us called upon, as
Mrs. Wortman said, to admire the same
pictures; there are different phases of art
to appeal with pleasure and profit to dif
ferent people, and the broad-minded
critic respects the feeling that comes from
all standpoints. It is the pleasure one
gets from a picture, whether a portrait,
historical composition, figure study or
landscape, that gives it value, and if It
brings helpfulness or joy, It has fulfilled
Its mission.
"In criticizing a portrait," said Mrs.
Wortman, "it is the characteristic like
ness we look to see, rather than the real
likeness," and this is also her idea In re
gard to landscape, or rather that a cer
tain quality of Impressionism Is. essential-
one should not expect to be able to count
the leaves on a tree, but merely to feel
that they are there.
During a recent visit In the Eastern
States, Mrs. Wortman visited all the well-
known art galleries and enjoyed particu
larly La Forge's mural painting of "The
Ascension," In the Church of the Ascen
slon in New York, a picture in which
there is a glorious mass of color and
splendid modeling of "figure, shown with
no suggestion of outline.
The Boston library, which contains
much splendid work by Sargent, and
where tne famous Abbey room is to be
seen, was a delignuul place to Mrs.
wortman. Her talk yesterday was Illus
trated by a Spring landscape by Oliver
Hall, who Is one of the foremost English
artists.
SAYS CHAKGES ARE ABSURD.
Bishop Denies Catholic Church Uses
Influence to Get Indian Funds.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 1. Right
Kev. u. nomas conaty. bishop of this Ro
man Catholic diocese, today entered an
emphatic denial of the charges made ves
teraay in Washington by United States
Senator Bard, that the Roman Catholic
Church had endeavored to Influence the
Senator's action ln the distribution of In
dian funds by the promise of political
support.
The charges are absurd," said the
bishop. "Jn the first place they cannot
apply to this district, because we do not
receive any Government funds for use In
the schools. We take care of our Indians
with our own money. The Catholic
Church does nothing that is not ODen
and above board, and the statement that
a representative of a Catholic Associa
tlon promised to carry certain districts
for Senator Bard in consideration of a
continuation of favorable contracts,
ridiculously absurd."
The bishop stated that Scharf. who
Senator Bard said, was his informant.

LINES
Travel Between Portland, Coos Bay
-- and Eureka increases Freight
Tariff Not Cut.
Cutting of rates has Increased the pas
senger business between Portland and
points down the Coast, and residents of
Eureka and Coos Bay are taking advan
tage In large numbers of the row that Is
on between the several steam schooner
lines. Rates to San Francisco on the
large steamers are being maintained and
it is not believed the Coast war -will af
fect them. Should It spread, however, to
the Harriman line, things will become de
c1"' Interesting.
The war was begun by the California &
Oregon Coast Steamship Company cut
ting the fare to Eureka to 57.50 and $5
and to Coos Bay points to $5 and S3. Their
steamer Homer, which is In port, will
sail south tonight, taking passengers at
these rates.
I Russell &l Rogers' steamer F. A. Kil-
burn, which has heretofore maintained
the old rates, began slashing on her up
trip, charging $10 and JG from Humboldt,
and JS and S3 from Coos Bay points.
The independent liner Redondo called in
at Eureka on her way up and went the
others one better, naming $7.25 and 5.5
as her schedule of charges, and secured
a -ood load of passengers there.
All of the steam schooners running
through to San Francisco are on the same
basis to that port, $12 first class and $S
second class, Russell & Rogers being the
latest to put the rate Into effect. Freight
rates up to the present time have not
been Interfered with. There is much In
terest in the course that will be pur

pany, operating the steamer Roanoke. In

WILL NOT BE ISOLATED.
Portland Can Help It3elf if Govern
i ment Does Not.
Commenting on the statements of a Se
attle daily paper that Portland was ln
serious danger of being Isolated from the
.ocean by the possible failure of Congress
to pass a general river and harbor bill,
the Railway and Marine News, of Seattle,
ln Its latest Issue says:
"Such statements bear not only the evi
dence of Ignorance on the part of those
making them, but of a deliberate and wil
ful refusal to seek and ascertain the facts.
The port of Portland Is In no danger
whatever of ever being cut off from the
sea. and those who entertain such fears
are laboring under a serious and unfound
ed misapprehension. A certain amount of
work from time to time is necessary in
order to keep the lower reaches of the
Columbia in the best condition, and the
people of Portland, as well job those of the
larger portions of tooth Oregon and Wash
ington, are asking that the Federal Gov
ernment continue In the future to contrib
ute to that work as It has In the past.
"But the people of Portland long ago
ceased to depend entirely -upon Congres
for the Improvement of the deep water
channel leading from their city to the sea.
When Portland was a struggling city of
20,000 people the channel of the lower Co
lumbia ln places was les than 18 feet
deep at the lowest stages of water. When
essels of 12 and 14 feet draft began to
be replaced by larger craft drawing from
18 to 20 feet, and It was found that a
deeper channel In the river was needed.
the people of Portland raised some money
themselves, received some more from the
Government and set to work to deepen
the channel. This policy has been contln
ued constantly since that time.
"Today the channel from Portland
to the sea hae a minimum depth
of 25 feet, or ten feet greater than
the minimum depth, when the work
of deepening It was begun, and the
population and wealth of Portland and
the tributary country if fully six times as
large as it was then. The work of adding
another ten feet to this- depth, when It
Is undertaken, as sooner or later it will
be, will be a less serious burden on those
people than was that of deepening the
channel from 15 feet to 25. The shifting
policy of the Federal Government In
granting appropriations one session of
Congress for the Inauguration of Impor
tant Improvements, and in denying ap
proprlatlons at the next session, for con
tlnulng the work begun has hampered
the Columbia Improvement as It has ham
pered everj other Important Improve
ment undertaken by the Federal Govern
ment. But the people of Portland and of
Oregon are a self-reliant people and they
have learned by experience that the way
to get a thing done right Is to do It your
self, or at least to stand ready to do It
yourself if necessary. This has been their
policy In the past and will continue to be
ln the future.

AT THE THEATERS
What the Press Agents Say.
BATES MATINEE TODAY.
Belasco Star Will Appear This After
noon In a Double Bill.
There will be a matinee this afternoon
at the Grand Theater In which Miss
Blanche Bates will appear In a -double
bill, "My Aunt's Advice." which was writ
ten by her In conjunction with Mr. George
Arllss. and is a genuinely humorous piece.
and "Madame Butterfly, by the authors
of "The Darling of the Gods," a tragedy
of Japan. It was her remarkable success
In the one-act Japanese play that gave
to Belasco the Idea of writing the larger
and more ambitious play, "The Darling
of the Gods."
This double bill Is a very attractive one
and will prove unmistakably that Miss
Bates is by no means a one-sided artist,
but that she possesses versatility of a
hl"h order.
"Madame Butterfly" .was. first seen at
the Herald Square Theater. New Tork
City, and had a. run of over 300 nights.
New York went wild over the piece, and
that alone established Miss Bates In a
tlrm position ln the affections of the
metropolis. Her portrayal of the heart
broken Japanese girl Is dainty as a piece
of delicate bric-a-brac, and yet in the
end the true note of keen tragedy is
touched so that it moves all hearts.
The advance sale shows that there will
be present a large and representative au
dience, and beyond a doubt the double
bill will greatly delight all who have the
good fortune to be present.
Tonight "The Darling of the Gods" will
be repeated, and that play will be the
bill for every night this week, up to Sat
urday night, as well as for the Saturday
afternoon matinee.
