THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1906. PERSONAL TAXES-. OF LOCAL FIRMS Figures of Assessor Sigler .Show Increase in Ma jority of Cases. GREAT GAIN IN COUNTY Including Property Exempted Un der Law Last Year, Roll Will Be About $10,000,000 'Larger Than in 1905. A gain of between J7.000.0J0 and JS, 000, OuG is shown In tne personal prop erty tax roll of Multnomah County for the present year over that for 1S05, and the gain will probably be as high as $10,0ju,0ti0 after the meeting or the Board of Equalization. The hgures as they now stand give a total for the per sonal roll of $43.4!6,270. Last year the total, which is to be compared with the present figures, that which was submit ted to ti-e Board of Equalization, was J35.322.411. A general advance is shown in the personal assessments made upon the large firms of the city. A portion of the advance is also due to the addition of personal effects, hitherto exempt, but now Included as the result of a decision recently rendered by the State Supreme Court. The personal assessment roll is not en'irely completed but most of the values have been definitely set. In some cases, the Assessor has made approxi mate estimates which' may stand or may be changed after some belated affidavits are received. It is probable, however, that there will be very few changes maie In the roll before its sub mission to the board. After the personal roll had been acted upon by the board last year it was re duced to $33,344,596 or more than $10. 000,000 less tnan for the present assess ment. Assessor Sigler believes that the changes this year will be much less than nt that time, and it is probable that the advance will remain in the neighborhood of $10,000,000. The largest single Increases among the Portland firms are in the cases of Ladd Tilton and the Portland Flour ing Mills. The assessment of Ladd & Tilton is raised from $200,535 to $1. 111.700. The increase is based on an affidavit furnished by the firm and will stand before the board. That of the Portland Flouring Mills, of from $150. 000 to $1,000,000. is an arbitrary assess ment made by Mr. Sigler, and may be contested. Following are the personal assessment of some of the important local firms and large property-owners, as they now stuad. 19(15. 190 Acme Mill Co 24.r00 $ 25.000 Albers Bros.

Finzer Tells of "Work of Ore gon Team at Seagirt. That Oregon's riflemen acquitted themselves well In the National matches at Seagirt, N. J.. In spite of illness and hard luck, was the opinion expressed yesterday by William E. Finzer, Quartermaster-General of the Oregon National Guard, on his arrival from the East. While in Washington, General Finzer secured a complete set of new uniforms for the Guardsmen, and also rifles and ammunition for gallery practice. The extreme heat and the rain, while they were at Seagirt, brought on much illness among the Oregon riflemen and greatly handicapped them In the contests. They were still further placed at a disadvantage by drawing a position In the skirmish run which compelled them to face the sun in the morning while shooting.

W. A. WEARS TELLS OF TRIP Chamber . of Commerce Delegate Says There Is Plenty of Trade for Portland In Hawaii if It Is Worked TTp. Portland may acquire still another steamship line to Honolulu. W. A. Hears made the announcement yesterday after noon at a special meeting of the Chamber of Commerce that the American-Hawaiian Steamship Company was considering the advisability of having its steamers call at Portland regularly. Mr. Mears de- TERMINAL YARDS FOREMAN DISAPPEARS "Willis L. Brown, until September 16 foreman In the yards of the Northern Pacific Terminal Com ' pany. Is mysteriously missing and his anxious wife has enlisted police assistance In an effort to And him. He Is 44 years old but in appear ance much younger. Mrs. Brown called at police headquarters yes terday and told Chief Gritzmacher that she was much perplexed at the continued absence of her hus band, and declared she had no Idea why he disappeared . or where he has gone. Efforts of the police to locate the missing man have thus far proved unavailing, and the case is growing more and more baffling, according to Chief Gritzmacher. The Browns have been residing at 67 North Park street, but yesterday Mrs. Brown removed to 333 Third street. clared that in conversation with Captain Burnham. general manager of the com pany, the latter stated that it was prob able" that Portland would be made a. reg ular port of call. Mr. Mears stated that he had not asked Mr. Burnham to establish a line between here and the Islands, inasmuch as the Matson Navigation Company had put the Hilonian on the run. Without solicitation Captain Burnham said that his company wouud probably establish a similar line, but said he had no definite information to give out. . It is understood that the company intends to establish the line within the next three months. Constant pounding and hammering is the only practical and sure way for the merchants of Portland to build up profit able trade relations with the Islands, ac cording to Mr. Mears. At the meeting he told the results of his observation of his recent trip and told how business could be built up. While the attendance was not large, many of the largest wholesale, houses and business interests were rep resented. Big Order for Lumber. Mr. Mears had something more mate rial than an enthusiastic talk to offer the Interested business men who attended the meeting. He told of an order of 2.000.000 feet of lumber which had been placed in Portland, from firms in Honolulu, which was obtained by the mere asking. When Mr. Mears was in Honolulu he made inquiries regarding the market for lumber. He found that most of tne lum ber was handled by three concerns which had evidently formed a combine, but he also found that lumber could be sold nevertheless. Not wishing to transact business himself, he turned it over to another, who gathered the orders to gether and forwarded them to Portland. "If I were a dealer in any of the arti cles for which there is a market at the Islands, I would correspond with the big gest Jobbers," said Mr. Mears. "I would keep up this correspondence, and if I could not obtain orders I would most surely send a representative over there. "Keep it up. Don't write only once or even twice or- three times, but keep writ ing. Send a man over there and let him rustle for business. Keep pounding away and before you know it, Portland wjil have firmly established herself in the field. But no half-hearted methods will do It. Go in with the determination of getting business because . it is there, and can be had, and then you will get it. There is no doubt about it. "I don't want to scold the merchants of Portland, but they have not drummed up as much business as they might since the line was established by the Matson Navigation Company. When I was in Honolulu some of the merchants there showed me price lists they had received from Portland houses. In some instan ces but one price had been sent. Perhaps the merchants did not need anytuing just at that time. Later they might have, but no more price lists were received. Honolulu Anxious to Trade Here. "When I was in Honolulu, I received every possible encouragement. The busi ness men were apparently, much pleased over the opening up of another competi tive market. Eiveryone I talked- to seem ed greatly pleased over the prospects. Now, of course, it is easy enough to go there and when' calling upon the business men to receive the glad hand. But-1 was stopped Innumerable times by persons who had read of my being there and who were Interested in Portland's getting into the field." Mr. Mears stated that three Portland houses now had representatives in the Islands and two other concerns would shortly send men there. He said that there was a market for the following ar ticles which Portland should be' aDle to supply: Flour, feed, bags and bagging, belting and mill materials, teas and spi ces, dairy products, fruit, produce, drug6. dry goods, furniture, groceries, hardware, harness and saddlery, lumber, paints and oils, plumbing supplies, seeds and beer. The Hilonian, of the Matson Navigation Company, will arrive in Portland about next Monday to take on a cargo for the Islands. It will take away about 110 tons of freight, and perhaps 2000 tons. It will be the third time the Hilonian has touched at this port. The first trip it re ceived a cargo of 500 tons of freight and the second time SOO tons. As the Portland houses are making a greater effort for business, it is thought that when it calls for the fourth time, that it will receive a very creditable shipment. So far the steamer has been operated at loss on the run. but the of ficials of the Matson Navigation Com- pany are not discouraged, as shipments are picKing up. When they came here they expected it would take time and per sistency to work up a good business.and they are determined to give Portland a fair show. The Nevadan, of the American-Hawaiian Steamship line, has call ed at Portland once since the Hilonian was put on the run. It secured a cargo of 1000 tons. STIRS UP THE DEALERS Fitzgerald Arouses Second-Hand Merchants and Pawnbrokers. The second-hand dealers and pawn brokers of Portland are in the midst of trying times. The police purpose enforc ing the Sunday-closing law, and are seek ing to make It so strong that both second-hand dealers and pawnbrokers will have not only to refrain from doing busi ness, but also keep their doors shut on Sunday. This move is being fought hard, and the cases are pending before Munici pal Judge Cameron. In -the Municipal Court yesterday morn ing, S. Ryan, a North Third-street second-hand dealer, was up for trial before Judge Cameron, as were also tne Holz man brothers, pawnbrokers on the same street. The former was represented by Alex Bernstein and the latter by A. Wal ter Wolfe. Deputy City Attorney Fitz gerald was present for the city. The second-hand dealers are the hardest hit, if the court is to construe the ordi nance In such a manner as to compel them to keep the doors of their estab lishments closed on Sunday, and the court said yesterday morning from the bench that he was at present inclined to do so. It was for that reason that Attorney Bernstein requested a continuance, that he might present authorities to His Hon or. The city ordinance reads that the doors of second-hand stores must be closed on Sunday, but Attorney Bernstein argued that this means the doors shall not be open for business. In the case of his client, the family resides in the rear of the store, and it is largely upon the ground that he must have ingress and egress that Attorney Bernstein is making his plea for a .favorable construction of the ordinance. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald said that the ordinance meant just what It saiu that the doors of second-hand stores must be closed on Sunday. He said that the legislators who framed . and passed the law were sufficiently informed on human nature to know that unless the doors were closed business would be done. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald creat ed a sensation among the large number of second-hand dealers and pawnbrokers present by asserting that their business was closeyl associated with thievery, and saying that they had to be watched by the police and that the police should have one day in the week on which they might relax their vigilance and rest "from their strenuous work of watching the second-band dealers and pawnbrok ers." Attorney Bernstein replied, resenting Mr. Fitzgerald's remarks as to thievery, and again asking time in which to present authorities to prove his argument cor rect. Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald and Attorney John F. Logan clashed In the Municipal Court yesterday morning when Logan asked Judge Cameron to impose a fine sufficiently large to permit of an appeal to the Circuit Curt in the case of the city against W. L. Deil, proprietor of the Le Roy House, recently raided by the police. "I don't think any such request as that should go in thfa court," said Mr. Fitz gerald. "I think the matter should be left with the Judge and he should im pose whatever fine he sees fit." Judge Cameron imposed a fine of $50. and the case will be appealed to the State Circuit Court." The Le Roy House was raided by the "ipioral squad" at an early hour one morning of last week, when nine couples were arrested, charged with Immoral con duct. Proprietor Dell was also taken into custody on a charge of conducting a disorderly house. The domestic troubles of Albert Crosby and his wife, Ida L. Crosby, SOO Nelson street, were given a slight airing in the Municipal Court yesterday morning. Crosby had his wife arrested on a charge of assault and battery, he alleging that she attacked him with a poker because he wanted to go down town for a night's enjoyment. When Crosby appeared at the office of Clerk Hennessey in the Municipal Court and requested of Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald a warant for the arrest of Mrs. Crosby he was roundly scored by Mr. Fitzgerald, but persisted In having the woman arrested. Yesterday morning Crosby accused his wife of flirting with a street-car con ductor, but Judg Cameron did not per mit the case to go far, as he expressed the belief that It should be settled out of court. He said it never should have been brought into court. It was con tinued until this morning. The police are endeavoring to enforce the ordinance against leaky garbage wagons, and three arrests were made yesterday. Antone Burkhardt, an old of fender, was arrested Monday by Mounted Patrolman Kellar and was arraigned be fore Judge Cameron yesterday. He promised to repair his wagon and wa9 released. Upon motion of Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald. Judge Cameron yesterday morning dismissed the charge of exceed ing the automobile speed limit against W. J. Clemens, a mining lawyer. He was arrested upon complaint of Police man West. J. R. Crook, accused of taking a ladder that was not his property from an East Side house, was discharged, as the com plaining witness did not wish to prose cute. Crook took the ladder thinking It was his own, he explained. Red Eyea and Eyelids. Weak Ey And Tired Eyes Need Murine Eye Tonic. RIGHT HOME Doctor Recommends Postum From Personal Test. No one is better able to realize the injurious action of caffeine the drug in coffee on the heart, than the doctor. When the doctor himself has been re lieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum. . he can . refer with full conviction to his own case. A Mo. physician prescribes Postum for many of his patients because ha was benefited by it. He .says: "I wish to add my testimony In re gard to that excellent preparation postum. I have had functional or nervous heart trouble for over 15 years, and part of the time was unable to attend to my business. "I was a moderate user of coffee and did not think drinking it hurt me. But on stopping it and usine Postum in stead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to the change from coffee to postum. "I am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach. "When made right it has a much better flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustalner of the system. I shall con tinue to recommend It to our people, and I have my own case to refer to."

This unexpected contribution from afar turned an otherwise quiet day into one of rejoicing at headquarters. It brought the day's total up to $22,3S8. the largest day of the campaign, thus far. The contribution from Mr. Pratt came quite unexpectedly. He was in Portland during the Summer and at the time called on General Secretary Stone, of the Y. M. C. A. and inquired closely into the work being done here. Mr. Pratt is practically a stranger here, although Mrs. Pratt, nee Carrie Ladd, Is well known In Portland. The next largest contribution of the day was made by F. S. Doernbecher, $2500. Mrs. Marcus Simpson and Fred S. Mor ris each contributed $1000. The feature of yesterday's work was the exceptional showing made by the woman's committee, which raised $13,255, a sum greater than was secured by the three other committees together. The cit izen's committee reported $696o, the busi ness women $274.50 and the young men's committee $1867. The young men's com mittee has divided itself Into ten com panies of ten members each. Each com pany is striving to outshine the others in securing contributions. Confidence is expressed that the $150,000 mark will have been left far behind by noon today. The sum of $175,000 Is set as the goal for today's work. There remains to be raised at this time $202,437.50. "There Is still a strong tendency to put off the making of donations." said Mr. Stone last evening. "Men of means are 6iow in making their contributions, but all say they will subscribe. e are as confident as ever of success In the end." Mill Laborer Is Whirled on Shaft- Every Garment Torn From Body of Charles M. Geer, but He Escapes Practically Unhurt. CHARLES M. GEER. brother-in-law of Captain of Police Slover, was caught on a rapidly revolving shaft in the plant of the .Llnnton Lumber Company yester day and whipped about until every stitch of his clothing save his shoes, portions of his stockings and his necktie were torn from his body. That Geer was not killed ia regarded as almost miraculous, and those who picked him up after the machinery was stopped expected he would have to be consigned to an undertaking establish ment. To the great surprise of his fel low workmen he was only stunned and shocked. He was carried from the mill to his home, where a physician attended him. and he expects to return to his work in the lumber plant in a few days.

The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak ness, and 6he is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern ing' children involves ; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The ills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine tenths of the nervous prostration, ner vous despondency, " the blues," sleep lessness, and nerrous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Aryour spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying ? Do you feel something like a ball ris ing in your throat and threatening to choke you ; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to. light and sound ; pain in the abdominal region, and between the shoulders ; bearing-down pains ; nervous dyspepsia and almost continually cross and snappy?
