FIREBOAT MAY USE OIL
Chief Campbell Recommends Aban
donment of Coal as Fuel.
Oil probably will soon replace coal as
fuel for Portland's fireboat. Chief Camp
bell reported to the fire committee yes
terday that he had been investigating the
question of using oil on the fireboat and
had come to the conclusion that the
change is desirable. He suggested that
the substitution be made at the beginning
of the year.
While on his recent trip to the con
vention of fire chiefs at Calgary, Chief
Campbell paid particular attention to the
use of oil as fuel on fireboats. Me round
that it costs about $1S00 to make the
change but that a subsequent saving
results In addition to that, oil has sev
eral advantages, most important of which
is the freedom from smoke which some
times interferes with effective service
while fighting fires.
In his report the Chief also called
attention to the necessity oi a water
tower, claiming that it is indispensable
apparatus to a good fire department.
While on the trip he watched the prac
tical working of the water tower owned
by the Seattle department.
- ' " ..
J' ? " -
The close of the day's session of
the County Board of Equalization
yesterday witnessed another exemplifi
cation of the biblical injunction that
"the first shall be last." When a rep
resentative of the Mitchell, Lewis &
Staver Hardware Company appeared
before the board a few moments before
"quitting time" and not only filed the
last, but 'the protest involving the
largest amount of the 69 that went in
during the day.
The Mitchell. Lewis & Staver Com
pany was assessed S120.000 on its stock
of merchandise, $100,000 on its money,
notes and accounts. $230 on tools, wag
ons, etc., and $250 on its horses. It
did not dispute the merchandise item,
but objected to the money, notes and
accounts assessment as excessive, and
set up the claim that a great many of
their accounts represented stocks in the
hands of dealers- on contracts, whereby
the dealers or merchants carrying these
stocks were paying the taxes, and con
tended that it would be double taxa
tion for them to pay on such accounts.
They asked that this item re reduced to
$50,000.
Rs?d Estate Files Protest.
The estate of Amanda W. Reed,
through Martin Winch, executor, made
objection to the assessment on 59.25
acres in section 20. township 1 north,
range 1 east. Willamette Meridian: lot
7, block 10. and west half of lots 6 and 7.
Couch's Addition: block So, Carter's
Addition extended east 40 feet: lots 4
and 5. block 2S3, lot 1. block 264, lots
4 and 5, north half of D. and lots 1 and
8, north half of D. Ciiy of Portland, for
various reasons. Relative to the land
in section 20 Executor Winch says:
"One-third of this land lies in the
lake similar to the land belonging to
Corbett and Strong, adjoining, which is
assessed at $50 per acre. The Cottle
piece, which lies much nearer town, is j
assessed at $S00 per acre. In compari
son with land adjoining, I think that
$700 per acre would be the outside limit
at which this land should be assessed.
The entire piece overflows at high
water "
In discussing city property belonging
to the estate. Mr. Winch recites in his
protest that lot 7. block 10. Couch's
Addition, is assessed at $22,000. Just
acrossthestreet.be claims, lot 2. block
9, is assessed at $15,000. This he con
siders is not a proportionate assess
ment. The west half of lots 6 and 7,
block 65, is assessed at $9000. Lot 2.
block 64, lying just north and having
100 feet frontage on Couch street, is
assessed at $5000. declares Mr. Winch,
which, he also thinks, is out of pro
portion. He also claims that the other lots
belonging to the estate in the city are
assessed beyond their real value.
The Eastern & Western Lumber Com
rany protested against an assessment
of $2S5 per lineal foot on their water
front property, alleging that property
directly across the river, with a much
larger depth, and on which a great
many of the larger warehouses are
located, is assessed at $75 per lineal
foot; property on the north, also with
greater depth, is asessed for $150 per
lineal foot, while property adjoining
their neighbors on the north is assessed
for $45 per lineal foot. The lumber
corporation also claims that its prop
erty is assessed as high as any on the
river in and around Burnside street,
and asks that its assessment be re
duced to $175 per lineal foot.
N. J. Blagen thought his assessment
of $46,000 on lots 6 and 7. block 9.
Couch's Addition, should be reduced
about 10 per cent.
Xorthrnp Asks Reduction.
H. H. Xorthup asked a reduction of
JoOOO from the $53,600 assessment on 1 66
acres in section 4. township 1 south, range
1 east.
W. Mackintosh and J. Closset declared
that the assessment of $24,400 on the west
75 feet of the north half of lot 8. in block
4. City of Portland, should be reduced to
$15,000. as the property was purchased last
November for $17,500.
The Dayton Hardware Company, which
was assessed $12,000 on merchandise and
$aoiO on money, notes and accounts, con
tended that the true value was merchan
dise $?000 and money, notes and accounts
$700
The Board of School Trustees objected
to a $30,000 assessment on the west 150
feet of the north 100 feet of south 2-V
feet of block 7. Johnson's Addition to
Portland, claiming that the entire north
100 feet of the south 2n0 feet of said block
had been assessed $30,000, and under the
circumstances $10.iv was deemed suffi
cient. John B. Harrington protested against
an assessment of $17,500 on lot 3. block 29.
City of Portland, on the ground that lot
2 of the same block had been assessed
at $16,000. The other protests follow:

the early part of next week. He 16 now on his way from Washington. General

Fourteenth Infantry, which is stationed at Vancouver, when it was in the
Philippines. WhPn he returned from the islands he was made a member of the
general staff of General Greely, with headquarters at San Franciccc.
General Jocelyn Is what may be termed a self-made military man. The pro
gress he has made and the honors he has achieved are due to a natural military
instinct and ability, coupled with hard work and perseverance. He fought his
way up from the ranks, and many promotions came to him because of distin
guished service. He began his military career in 1SS3, when he enlisted as a
private in a Vermont volunteer regiment in which he served through the Civil
War. In 1S66 he was promoted from the volunteer -regiment to the regular Army
with the rank of Second Lieutenant. In 197 he was appointed Colonel and two
years later became Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1901 he was appointed Colonel of the
Fourteenth Infantry.

Mr. Cohn yesterday afternoon purchased
the M. A. Gunst property, at the north
west corner of Eleventh and Washington
streets. The consideration was $115,000 for
the quarter block, which is entirely un
improved. Goldsmith & Co. made the
sa'le. and Mr. Gunst, whose home is in
San Francisco, was represented in the
negotiations by Gus Simon, the manager
of his Portland stores.
The property is a portion of . the half
block which was purchased a little more
than a year ago by Russell & Blyth for
$100,000 The quarter block fronting on
fatark street was subsequently sold to R
B. Lamson for $50,000. Mr. Gunst pur
chased the Washington-street quarter for
$90,000. therefore making a gain of $25,000
by the present transaction. A transfer of
the quarter block to a San Francisco
buyer was reported several weeks ago, but
the. deal fell through, and negotiations
were begun with Mr. Cohn a few days
ago.
May Be for Apartments.
On this quarter block Mr. Cohn will
soon begin the erection of a six-story
brick. The ground floor will be occupied
by stores, and the upper floors will be
either offices or apartments, he has not
decided which. He will at once have
plans prepared by an architect, and will
begin excavation within a month. He
plans to erect one of the finest buildings
on upper Washington street.
Mr. Cohn is also the owner of a quarter
block at the northeast corner of Thir
teenth and Washington streets, on which
he will begin the erection of the five, or
six-story building within the next nine
months. If he decides on an apartment
house for the Gunst corner, a modern flat
will be placed on the Thirteenth-street
site. Otherwise, an. apartment-house will
be erected on that corner.
Mr. Cohn has recently returned from
an extended trip abroad and in the E&st.
While visiting the Eastern cities he
kept a watchful eye on the real estate
situation and an no place found oppor
tunities for investment equal to those
offered in Portland. He has great con
fidence in Washington street property
and is now the possessor of two of the
finest corners on the upper part of that
thoroughfare. His Thirteenth street cor
ner is diagonally across the street from
the large brick building now under con
struction by Mrs. M. M. Gearin.

corner of Thirteenth and Morrison

Skull Crushed by Falling Tree.
ASHLAND. Or.. Oct. 4. (Special.T
William Abbott, employed in a logging
camp on Wagner Creek, five miles west
of Ashland, had his skull crushed in by
a. falling tree yesterday while at his work
and died early this morning from his in
juries. He was snaking logs down the
w
E axe about to publish a new weekly. rA magazine so different
in purpose and scope and usefulness that people will wonder
why it was not published long ago. It seems to us that this
great country of ours, with all its forcefulness and enterprise,
can afford to be constantly in touch with itself. We believe that
we have discovered a way by which we can give the people something that
they very much want and something t hat they now have no other way of
getting.
The unique feature of Ridgway's is, that it will be published from four
teen cities simultaneously every Saturday morning. How are we going to
do it? Well, here is our plan, and we think it will look as good to you as it
does to us. We shall maintain a complete organization in each of the fol
lowing centers where Ridgway's is published: New York, Chicago, Phila
delphia, Boston, San Francisco, Washington, New Orleans, Seattle, At
lanta, Denver, Cleveland, St. Louis, Pittsburg, St. Paul and Minneapolis.
In each of the fourteen cities there will be a managing editor, with associ
ate editors, correspondents, special contributors, artists, advertising and
circulation managers. We intend, with the aid of our editors all over the
country, to get to the scene of every important event at the earliest mo
ment after it has happened. At midnight of the day preceding publication
each of the local editors will wire to New York a brief editorial story of
the events of his section, that he believes will be of interest to the rest of
the country. In New York, editorial writers with Samuel Hopkins Adams
in charge, will go over these stories, shape them up, being careful not to de
stroy the local color, and wire three or four pages of finished editorials
back to each branch, thus the whole country will contribute to the National
editorials. A few hours later Ridgway's will be on the presses in fourteen
cities, being printed at newspaper speed.
The local news and editorials will be treated just as thoroughly by the
local editor for his own section. We have secured the best man obtainable
in his district, one who can reflect the life of his section in Business, Poli
tics, Sports, Finance, Society and Education, week in and out. There will
be nothing but clean, crisp, up-to-date news that will keep wide-awake
readers alive to the big events that are happening around them.
What about stories and illustrations and general articles ? We shall
have plenty of them. The best we can buy. We believe in humor and every
form of wholesome amusement. Nothing will be left undone to make these
features a great success with our readers. We shall seek contributors
everywhere. Ridgway's will undoubtedly make a great many literary rep
utations, just as Everybody's did. We are alreadj' able to announce a great
serial story by Joseph Conrad, to be called ''The Secret Agent." It will
begin in the first issue. Mr. Conrad has written sea stories that have made
him famous. In "The 'Secret Agent" he has entered a new field. It is a
story of European Diplomacy. The scene is laid in London, well known as
an asylum for European Anarchists. A story of this kind is necessarily full
of action and fascination. "The Secret Agent" is especially so.
Gelett Burgess will conduct a department of humor, consisting of at
least four pages each issue, fully illustrated. It will be kept up to date.
When you see the first number you will appreciate how good this depart
ment is. Mr. Burgess will have the aid of the best artists and illustrators
at home and abroad. Another feature of the illustrations will be a sixteen
page section printed in half-tone on calendered paper, depicting important
happenings, local and National. There will be weekly full-page cartoons,
true to the topic and the times.
Here are some of the contributors who are now at work for us:
Emerson Hough
Broughton Brandenberg
Ernest Poole
Harvey J. O'Higgins
Franklin Matthews
Samuel Blythe
Ralph D. Pame
Winston Churchill
Agnes Laut
Eleanor Hoyt Brainerd
Jacques Futrelle
Dr. Henry C. Rowland
George W. Ogden
Lucia Chamberlin
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
One of the greatest features of Ridgway's will be the Washington Bu
reau, under the direction of Martin Egan. We propose to tell you in an in
teresting way, every week, just what each department of the National Gov
ernment is doing in your service. Mr. Egan will have a staff of twelve as
sociate editors in order to cover every department of the Government.
There will be special representatives for the Senate, the House and the Dip
lomatic Service. This Washington Bureau will make us better Americans.
We are all interested in our great big Government, yet, how much do we
know about it?
What will be the policy of Ridgway's? principally to tell the truth
and make the truth interesting. We shall not try to run down or over any
body. We shall stand squarely on the platform, a militant weekly for God
and Country. If we feel that any individual in the public eye is not getting
a square deal, we may think it wise to give him an opportunity to tell his
own story. What we want is facts; facts that are fresh in the making. If we
give things as we find them, the average American citizen can be trusted to
reach a very definite conclusion by the shortest possible route.
Ridgway's will be on sale everywhere tomorrow morning. It will be a
64-page weekly, and will be sold at 10c a copy or $5.00 a year. We advise
you to get your order in early, because advance orders indicate a big de
mand, and we shall not print beyond immediate requirements. You can
buy Ridgway's in the same way as your newspaper or magazine. It will be
sold by the newsdealer and the newsboy, on the stand or in the street.
