SALEM, Or., July 25. (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.

discharged.
Russ Neuman, her husband, has been"
running a "Joint" at Cleone, 1-miles from
here. He went home drunk and com
menced to beat his wife. She warned him
of the consequences if he did not desist,
but he only answered with a curse and a
blow.
Mrs. Newman then drew a revolver and
shot her husband through the fleshy part
of the left forearm. He still came to
wards her, and this time she shot him
through the neck, the bullet entering a
little to the left and coming out at the
back of the neck.
rr. J. F. Wood, who was called, dressed
the wound, and Newman will recover, al
though a half -Inch either way would have
caused almost Instant death.
At the preliminary hearing it was clear
ly shown that it was a case of self-defense,
and Mrs. Newman was acquitted.
Newman formerly tended bar at this
place and in Arlington.
Mrs. Newman was tried in Circuit Court
here a year ago for breaking the school
house door In Arlington because one of
her children had been punished. She was
acquitted of the charge.
OWNERS RUN THE PUNT

STRIKE AT MONTESANO.
Workmen Had No Grievance and
Are Given Stock in the
Concern.
MONTESANO, Wash., July 25. (Spe
cial.) The Montesano Shingle Company's
mill, which haa ben shut down for several
weeks. In consequence of a sympathetic
strike ordered by the Shingle Weavers'
Union, started up again yesterday with a
full crew, and will be operated from now
on by the actual owners of the plant,
each of the workmen having been made a
stockholder In the company. This plan
has been under consideration for some
time, and has met the full approval of
the men, all of whom are permanent res
idents of this city, they having no griev
ance against the management, and only
went out under protest when ordered to
do so by the union.
The mill has a capacity of 200,000 per
day, and will be run on full time from
now on. The Sylvia shingle mill, located
just north of town, has not been shut
down at all. It not being a union mill nor
its management connected witb the State
Association.
DISCHARGED W ITHOUT REASON
Schoolteacher Is Denied Damages by
Washington Supreme Court.
OLYMPIA, Wash., July 25. (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

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.
Says Companies Will Deal Fairly.
OAKLAND, CaL. July 25. Representa

"I cannot say definitely Just what our

issued, but I may say that we do not pro
pose to deny all claims as some com
panies have done."
Mr. Mullins intimated that the earth
quake clause would play a part in the
settlement of the losses.

GOOD WORD FOR COODING
CANYON COUNTS" DELEGATES
ARE NOT INSTRUCTED.
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

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

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.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL'
CURE BY CUTICURA
"I received your letter asking fof
information "about using the Cuticura
Remedies. I used them for eczema.
The doctor said it was the worst case
he ever saw. It was on both limbs,
from the knees to the ankles. We
tried everything the doctors knew of, .
but the Cuticura Remedies did the
most good. I was obliged to lie with
my limbs higher than my head, (or ths
Fain was so terrible I could not walk,
suffered untold agonies. One limb
wasted away a great deal smaller than
the other, there was so much discharga
from it. I found the Cuticura Rem
edies very soothing, and I still keep them
in the house. I am very thankful to
say that J. am cured, and you can pub
lish this statement if you wish. I found
the Cutioura Remedies all that you say
they are. I hope that you may be
spared many years to make the Cuticura
Remedies for the benefit of persons suf
fering from the torture of skin diseases, '
such as I had. I remain, yours re

CURED OF CHAPPED HANDS
" I have used the Cuticura Soap for
chapped hands, which I had been
troubled with for about three years. I
Buffered intense pain and itching. I
used nearly two cakes of the Cuticura
Soap, and my bands were completely
cured and have never troubled me
since. I also took the Cuticura Resol
vent for the blood at the same time.
I can recommend the Cuticura Rem
edies to others suffering the same.

Every Mother knows, or
should know that the terrible
Mortality among children is caused by
Stomach and Bowel troubles. Colic, Sour
Curd, Cholera Infantum, Summer Com
plaint, Measles, Rashes, Scarlet Fever
even Mumps have their first cause in
constipation.
The Delicate Tissues of a -Baby's
Bowels will not stand rough treatment.
Salts are too violent, and Castor Oil
will only grease the passages, but . will
not make and keep them Clean, Healthy
and Strong. j
There Is no other medicine as safe for a
child as Cascarets, the fragrant little Candy
Tablet, that has saved thousands of families
from unhappiness.
The Nursing Mother should always keep
her Milk Mildly Purgative by taking a Cas
caret at night before going to bed.
No other medicine has this remarkable
and valuable quality. Mama takes the
.Cascaret, Baby gets the Benefit.
Cascarets act like strengthening Exercise
on the weak little bowels of the growing
babe, and make them able to get all ths
Nourishment out of Baby's Natural Food.
Larger children cannot always be watched,
and will eat unreasonably. The Ready
Remedy should ever be at hand Cascarets
to take cars of the trouble when it comes.
No need to Force or Bribe children to
take Cascarets. They are always
more than ready to eat the sweet little bit
of Candy.
Homo is not complete without the ever
ready Box of Cascarets. Ten cents buys a
small one at the Corner Drug Store.
Be very careful to get the genuine,
made only by the Sterling Remedy Com
pany and never sold in bulk. Every tablet
