(Special.) That railroad property In Oregon was assessed at only f 10,815,915.41, when it had a commercial value of nearly 170, 000,000, 18 one of the Important and Interesting: features of the report of the Oregon Tax Commission, which will be presented for the consideration .of the next Legislature. These figures relate to valuations In 1904, which was ihe latest year for which the commission could secure reliable In formation upon which to base its com putations. The Assessors of the several coun ties, each acting according to plans and Ideas of his own, placed various valuations upon railroad bed and roll ing stock, and In the aggregate found a valuation amounting to only about 15 per cent of the 'actual value. At the same time the Assessors listed property In general at about S3 per cent of its actual yalue. Census Bureau Values Higher. In placing the value of railroad property in Oregon at $69,401,188.63, tr:e commission pursued methods of cor-mutation somewhat different from thobc adopted by the United States Census Bureau, which found a still larger valuation, the total reported by the bureau being 375,661,000. Since the Oregon Tax Commission's figures are over 36,000,000 less than chose of the Census Bureau, It seems altogether probable that the Commission's calcu lation has brought a total none too high. The commission adopted the method which has been approved by the Ore gon Supreme Court, which was to as certain the net earnings of the road and then compute the amount of cap ital upon which these earnings would pay Interest at a determined rate per cent. In the case before the Supreme Court that tribunal used 5 per cent as the rate of capitalization for the reason that the bonds of the company bore that rate of interest. Various Kates Used. The commission has selected various rates, according to the current mar ket record of the purchase and sale of railroad securities. The rates ranged from 4.77 per cent to 6 per cent. This method of ascertaining the value of the property for taxation pur poses was based upon the theory that property is worth the amount of money upon which its earnings will pay the market rate of interest. Thus it was ascertained that the Astoria & Colum bia River Railroad had from 1902 to 1904 average net earnings, with taxes deducted, amounting to $141,787.33. At 6 per cent. this is interest on $2,363,122, so the Commission concludes that the road Is worth the latter amount. The road is 82 miles long, and Is therefore worth $28,820 per mile. At the same time that the Commission finds the railroad property of this company to be worth $2,363,122, It is' assessed at only $379,873. Low Valuation of O. R. & N. A similar showing is made with re gard to other companies. Thus the O. R. & N. Company, which Is assessed at a total of $4,523,327 in the various counties through which It passes, has net earnings in this state amounting to $4,445,985.04, which the Commission capitalizes at 6.439 per cent, showing the commercial value of the road to be $69,032,500. and that portion of it in Oregon to be $32,071,400, or seven times the assessed valuation. The Coos Bay, Roseburg and East ern Railroad is assessed ac $53,300. and the Commission finds Its commercial value to be $303,529. The Columbia Southern Railway Company had a total assessment of $214,300, while, according to the Com mission's computation, its market value Is $1,161,900. The Corvallls and Eastern was val ued by the assessors at $236,275, but the Tax Commission finds that it (has an actual value, as shown by its earn ing power, of $778,461. Big Increase . for Northern Pacific. The railroad property of the North ern Pacific in Oregon was valued by assessors at $310,405. The Commission places the actual value at $2,873,000. The Oregon Short Line has an as sessed valuation of $96,735, but an ac tual value of $1,100,600, as its value is ascertained by the Tax Commission. The Rogue River Valley Railroad has an assessment of $5025, while its commercial value is $24,000. The total valuation of the property of the Southern Pacific Railroad as determined by assessors was $3,685,830. The Tax Commission finds that the commercial value of the road in Ore gon is $24,065,500. The Sumpter Valley Railway had a total assessment of $S9.500, while the Commission finds Its actual value was $87.992. The Washington & Columbia River Railway Company was valued "by the assessors at 2fi5,399, while the Com mission computes its commercial value in Oregon at $700, 3S0. Permanent Tax Commission. For the purpose of securing a full and fair assessment of railroad prop erty In this state, the Tax Commis sion hRS recommended the enactment of a law for the creation of a perma nent Tav , 1 1 m m U.lnn nf fivM mAmr,rl who shall assess railroads, pipe lines and wire lines in this state. The bill submitted provides for the appoint ment of two commissioners by the -Governor, secretary of State and state Treasurer, these three officers to be the other members of the commission. The proposed law provides thai the Commission, In ascertaining the value of a road or pipe line, may personally Inspect the property, may consider the reports which the companies are re quired to file, may consider the earn ing capacity of the road and the fran chises it owns or uses. The Commis sion may ascertain the value of the road as a whole and then determine the proportionate value In Oregon and In the several counties, but in case the road be valued as a unit, deductions must be made for property already as sessed In the several counties by the local Assessors. The Board must hold an annual meeting for the purpose of hearing complaints and making cor rections, and any company aggrieved by the ruling of the Board may ap peal to the Circuit Court. An appeal does not stay the proceedings for the assessment of property pending the decision-of the court. Collapse of Strike Near. SEATTLE, Wash., July 25. (Special.) Another break has occurred among the striking shingle-weavers at Ballard. Five men returned to work in me mill, defying their union. The union officers have since declared that the fact that these men were given places is satisfactory to them, and they will be satisfied if no discrimina tion against - union men occurs. This is a pretty clear indication of an approach ing collapse of the state strike, for the union has demanded a closed shop and adoption of the union label by all mills. The manufacturers claim that five mills, which agreed to ' union terms, have- put into effect the open-shop policy. On the basis of the manufacturers' figures this makes fewer than 40 of the 382 shingle mills in the state running with union crews. Found by Good Samaritans. VANCOUVER, Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) While on their picnic to Co lumbia Beach members of the Vancou ver Lodge of Elks found a man who had been injured on the north bank road and who was living In one of the shacks used by builders as a dressing-room. "At the hospital they wanted to cut my leg off," said he. "I did not want this, so I came out here and am doing pretty well, but my money is almost gone." The amateur surgery performed by the poor fellow's own hands excited the sympathy of the open-handed lodgemen and a purse of $35 was con tributed for his needs. Medical at tention was also provided. READY FOB NEW WHEAT PENDLETON MILL MAKES LAST SHIPMENT OF OLD FLOUR. Forty Thousand Sacks Are Being Forwarded to the Orient New Grain Unhurt by Hot Weather. PENDLETON, Or., July 25. (Special.) Forty thousand sacks of flour, the last exportation of old wheat flour to be made by the Byers Mills this year. Is being shipped out over the W. A C. R. to Taeoma, from which port It will be transhipped on the liner Lyra to Hong Kong and Yokohama. New wheat is now coming into the mill and old wheat is about all ground. The markets In the interior of China and Japan, which never saw American flour before this season, have been sup plied with Byers' flour by the Hongkong & Yokohama merchants. This shipment on its arrival at Hongkong will be re shipped to Interior points by Chinese river junk?, by steamers along the coast and by rail. American flour is growing in favor In the Orient each year. New wheat coming into Pendleton mills weighs well, notwithstanding the ex tremely hot weather of the past three weeks. H. C. Dunn, who resides on Mc Kay Creek, brought a load of red chaff Into the Byers' mill today which weighed 62 pounds per bushel and was plump, rich and full of flour-making material. It had not been damaged in the least by the hot weather despite the anxiety felt in some quarters concerning the early wheat. C. E. McLellan broke the 1906 record by bringing in a load of turkey red wheat which tested 63 pounds per bushel, and which was the best specimen of wheat de livered In the city this year. The turkey red is a ragged-looking wheat while growing, yet it yields well and la a fav- drite wheat with all miners. VALUES ARE MUCH INCREASED "Vested Interests" In Pierce County Will Put Up Bitter Struggle. TACOMA. Wash., July 25. (Special.) The Increase in values of assessable prop erty this year ranges from 33 1-3 per cent to 300 per cent and over. The val uation of railroad and timber land hold ings have been jumped to double and sometimes treble the amount turned in and accepted last year. Already there are rumors of a bitter fight before the County Board of Equal ization. County Assessor Meath has been served with 'notice from one railroad that thousands of dollars will be spent In having the assessment fixed by him cut down. Promises of similar antagonism, lie says, have come from many sources, controlled by "vested interests." Assessment Raised In Montana. HELENA, Mont.. July 25. The State Board of Equalization, which under the laws of Montana fixes the assessment of the railroads of the state, today decided upon an Increase of about 12H per cent over last year's assessment of the main lines. Last year the main lines were as sessed at $14,432 per mile. The board to day increased this to $16,236 per mile. Mining Men Are Delighted. BUTTE. Mont., July 25. A Helena spe cial to the Miner says: An order has been received by B. H. Tatem. assayer in charge of the United States Assay Office in Helena, authoriz ing the reception of silver contained in gold deposits whenever the amount or silver in such deposits does not . exceed In value the proportion of one part silver to ten parts gold, and pay for the same at the current rate fixed By the bureau at Washington. The order, which becomes effective Au gust 1, next, is hailed with delight by mining men, as the ratio heretofore has been one part silver to au parts goia. which necessitated the shipment of much of the product to Eastern mints, entail ing a delay, often of a month. In obtain ing remuneration. The new order will also have the effect of Increasing the re ceipts of the local office. Horses Burned at Echo. PENDLETON. Or. July 25. Shortly after 4 o'clock this morning the Echo livery stable and harness shop, belong ing to Richard Jones, was burned to the ground, killing five work horses, and causing a total loss of about $5009. The barn had Just been filled with hay, and It is believed the fire started from spontaneous combustion. Al Wright, employed In the barn, was badly burned on the arm while fighting the fire. The entire stable, harness, horses and harness shop adjoining were com' pletely burned. The buildings and con tents were insured for $1800.

(Special.) In the case of J. F. Van Dyke, re spondent, vs. School District No. 77, of Lewis County, appellant, the Supreme Court has, according to a dissenting opinion, written by Judge Rudkin, re versed numerous former rulings of the court In the matter of appeals from the action of boards of school direc tors. Van Dyke was employed by the directors to teach a nine-months' term of school at $60 a month, but was sum marily dismissed after teaching less than three months, without any expla nation for their action on the part of the board. He sued to recover salary for the entire term for which he was employed, and was awarded the sum of $250. The case was reversed, on the ground that plaintiff failed to exhaust other means of appeal before resorting to the courts. He should have appealed to the County School Superintendent from the action of the school board, says the Supreme Court, and for failure to do so the case Is reversed and the ac tion ordered dismissed. The opinion KK iilililllllpBrt I ' ' " ' p i r '5 fc. . y r -I Mount, Crow and Dunbar a bare ma jorlty of the court. Judge Rudktn has written a dissent ing opinion, concurred In by Judge Ful lerton.

E IN DEAL WASHINGTON TIMBER LANDS INCREASE IN VALUE Northern Pacific Could Build North Bank Road on Profit Made by Weverhaeusers. SEATTLE, Wash., July 25. (Special.) At the present price for stumpage, with timber lands quoted at from $1 to $3 per thousand, according to location, the Wey erhaeuser Timber Company's big buy from the Northern Pacific six years ago is beginning to loom up as one of the best speculative moves made in the Northwest. The land secured from the Northern Pacific alone at that time Is worth seven and eight times its valua tion by the railroad company at the time of the sale. Outside railroad sources, no one knows the exact cost of the north-bank road, but It is pretty safe to assume that if the Northern Pacific had held to its timber lands up to the present that prop erty would not only have built the north bank line, but would have paid the cost of all the extensions the Hill system is making in the Northwest. At the time the property was sold to the Weyerhaeuser syndicate It was re garded as a good move by the railroad. Neither timber men nor the interested railroad officials believed the property was being underestimated in value. All the lesson that timber men read from the heavy advance in prices Is that the exploitation of the Northwestern timber lands really dated from the Weyerhaeuser buy, and that timber is certain to be even more of a lucrative Investment. The Weyerhaeusers have never had a dull moment since the timber land of the Northern Pacific was taken over. They have bought and traded ever since until the Weyerhaeuser holding in this state alone will run in the neighborhood of 1,200,000 acres. The Weyerhaeusers have got by the period of giving exact figures, but millmen and timber buyers know that the timber syndicate's prop erties are enormous. In the original purchase from the Northern Pacific were 900,000 acres. This property was purchased at the rate of $6.50 per acre, the timber being estimated at 15.000 feet per acre. Lumbermen in a position to know assert that the Weyer haeuser lands secured from the Northern Pacific will average 26,000 feet per acre. The present valuation is estimated at $45,000,000.

Borah Men Are Chosen and Told to Support Plan of Nominat ing a Senator. BOISE, Idaho, July 25. (Special.) The Canyon County Republican Convention was held at Payette today. The result has been somewhat of a surprise. It was supposed the convention would instruct both for Borah and Governor Gooding. However, it Instructed the delegation to support the plan of nominating a Sena tor without designating a candidate, but failed to instruct, for the Governor, al though it strongly indorsed his adminis tration. The delegation Is composed of Borah men, and, so far as known, they are for the Governor also. They were instructed to vote for the nomination of Judge Smith for District Judge, and also for H. A. Partridge, of Nampa, for State Treasurer. The important clauses of the resolution adopted are as follows: Resolved. That we favor the principle of the nomination of a gandld&te for the United States senate at tne rocaxeuo convention, and Instruct the delegation selected br this convention to vote for such nomination as a unit. Resolved, That we do hereby Indorse the businesslike, fearless and courageous adminis tration of Governor Frank R. Gooding, and that w indorse In unmeasured terms hm vigorous and consistent attitude touching tbo: matters that at this time vitally affect the best Interests of the' State of Idaho. BORAH MAY LOSE IN NEZ PERC Administration Forces In Control With Apparently Good 'Majority. LEWISTON, Idaho. July 25. (Speclal.)- Borah forces are on the defensive tonight. and if the numerical strength of the re spective caucuses held tonight Is any in dication of the trend of affairs tomorrow. Nes Perces County will elect a delegation to the state convention that will go to Pocatello opposed to the indorsement of Borah for Lnlted States Senator. The country delegates are in control of the situation tonight, and a caucus of the anti-Borah forces shows 130 delegates lined up solid for the administration pro gramme. The convention tomorrow will contain 196 delegates, leaving but 54 dele gates known to be for the Indorsement of the Boise lawyer. A coup was sprung by the administra tion forces this morning on the arrival of 1 the delegates from the country, when they proceeded in a ooay to woodmen Hall. ! i.rTJ where resolutions were passed Indorsing Governor Gooding and opposing the Idea of nominating a United States Senator In the state convention. This move took the Borah forces oft their feet and at a caucus tonight they appointed a steering committee, whose duty It will be to see that the Borah supporters are given some recognition fh tomorrow s convention. It is the geenral impression here tonight that Borah will be hi attendance at the convention here tomorrow. If he seeks to address the Nes Perces convention with the Idea that he can stampede It, as he did In Fremont County last Friday, he may find that no one but duly elected delegates will be given the floor until the business of the convention is completed. Lemhi Delegates for Borah. BOISE. Idaho, July 25. (Special.) A special to the Statesman from Salmon City says: The Lemhi County delegation to the state convention at focateno win be solid for W. E. Borah for United States Senator. The delegates are not instructed, but it is understood they are unanimous for the Boise lawyer. The resolution adopted indorses the state ad ministration, but the delegates are un- ln8tructed on every question. Poison Leads for State Senator. HOQUIAM. Wash.. July 25. (Special.) Politics in Chehalis County is on the move, and today has seen a big revival in the game. The main fight eeems to hinge on the State Senatorshlp, and several men are after the plum. Alex Poison, the well-known logger. Is at pres ent said to have the best chance, with George Jj. Davis and J. O'Donnell. of Elma, in the race. The fight in this end of the county is between Davis and Pol son, and the outlook Is all In favor of Poison. One by one the supporters are leaving the Davis procession to fall into the Pol son bandwagon, and it is reported the last two to leave these ranks are F. L. Carr, of the Lumbermen's Bank, and R. F. Lytle, the well-known logger and miU- man. This sudden switch came as a surprise, and Poison has a large gather ing of close friends working for him. nr. u. C. Watkins has been persuaded to take the office, of County Commis sioner, and H. B. Hewitt will make the run for Representative from this district. xne county seat question will not figure much until after the convention. thn the work will commence. 1KENY' TO GET SUPPORT ALLIANCE OF CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION ANNOUNCED. Senator Piles Addresses Big Crowd at Reception Held in Potts Hotel in Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash.. July 25. f Sne- cial.) "When we left the capital we left as friends; as friends we will go through the political campaign that is coming, and as friends we will return to w asmngton. In those words United States Sena tor S. H. Piles tonight told a big crowd at a public reception tendered him and Congressman Humphrey that the rvusuingiun tjongressional delegation has made an offensive and defensive alliance. His reference to the cam paign is the first public statement by any member of the delegation that the programme is renomination for the Congressman and support for Ankeny in the election of hold-over Senators. Later Congressman Humphrey con firmed Senator Piles' definition of the delegation's alliance. Senator "Tom" Carter added a political flavor by urg ing the retention in Congress of all the members of the Washington dele gation, declaring their continued serv ice to be essential to the West's In terests. Under the auspices of the King County Republican Club the reception was tendered to Senator Piles and Congressman Humphrey tonight. Though Intended to be non-partisan in character the vast majority of the crowd were Republican leaders. Of curious incidental interest Is the fact that the reception was given In State Senator "Billy" potts Hotel, and the man who Is fighting him hardest for renomination, Representative Frank A. Renlck, was made chairman of the re ception committee to balance matters politically. FREIGHTHANDLERS RESUME. Southern Paciflo Company Agrees to Advance In Wages. OAKLAND, Cal., July 25.
