are to choose between Vawter and
Pavey, Ttie two candidates went to
that county on the late train last nigrht,
for It had been agreed between the
Representatives there that they are to
choose today, on the occasion of the
shippers congress in Albany.
Should Vawter win In Iinn. he will
continue a vlKoroun flgrht. but should
he lose there, he will probably ccaso
active efforts for the place and con-
rede the victory to I-avey. Even with
Linn County support 1 nf h I m. lie would
have an uphill Art lit. and the Davey
forces say that he could not be elected.

to put forth their supreme effort there.
I'matUla Leans Toward Davey.
Both side rented on their arms yes
terday, so far as winning votes went.
Iobbln, of Wallowa, arrived, but gave
rut that he bad made no choice and
won rrl .not make any until after con
ferring with the 17m .ti 1 la delegation,
t'onslatinx of Steen, Barret and Sluslier,
the last named of wiiom had not yet
rome to Portland. Slusher la expected
to be in the city this morning:, and then
the Umatilla Representatives and Dob
bin are expected to make their an-
iiouncenwnt. There Is lltle doubt that
the three Umatilla men will support
fave -; such In thA leaning: of Steon and
Burrett, who were In the city yester-
day.
Other Eastern Oregon Representa
tives who are expected to be In Port
lurid this mornlnsr are Donnelly, of
"Wheeler, and Moore, of Baker. Jvlnjc,
ot Maineur, arrived yesterday and made
known that he Is a supporter of Davey.
Both Moore and Donnelly will probably
vote for Davey, also. Pike, of Sherman,
I on nelly's colleague for the Represen-
tatlve District of Sherman, Wheeler and
Gilliam, was In Portland as a supporter
of Davey, but would not sign the Davey
pledcre until he shall have conferred
with Donnelly. ,
Vawter stoutly maintained last night
that he has a good flyrhtlns: chance and
averred that he would win Linn today.
Pavey asserted the contrary Just as
strongly.

B. I Barry, of Dayton, Or., who re

ports that absolutely no trace lias been

drowned in an attempt to cross that

Iran craft In which the fatal trip was
undertaken. A thorough search for the
bodies has been fruitlessly conducted
since Monday morninsr and the attempt
to locate the remain- was abandoned
last evening because ot the formation
of Ice on the river. The victims of the
tragedy were: "VV. K- Murray, of Ftut

Barry; Carl Llndstrum, manager of
M rOowans' cannery: William Wallace,
of MrGowans; James Jackman and Sam
Hindi, both of Stevenson. Murray and
Lindstrom were married men.
All five of the victims, reports Mr.
Barry. were thoroughly acquainted
with the river, and their drowning- is
attributed solely to an error in judg
ment on their part. They attempted to
cross the turbulent .stream in a 16-foot
craft, leaving Butler, on the Washing
ton side, for McGowans, at dusk last
Sunday evening. Murray suggested the
use of a heavier boat, belonging to
Wallace, but Llnd8trom, in whom the
members of the party had all confi
dence, assured his companions that the
trip could safely bo made; in the lighter
craft. "Don't drown us. Carl. re
marked Murray, and to this admonition
Lindstrom significantly responded. "If
I do, I'll go with you." This conversa-
tlon was overheard by men who wit
nessed the depa rture of the party, of
which not the slightest trace has since
been found.

Commission AS an Adjunct of
GOTernment" Convention
AVU1 End Tomorrow.
Testerday's session of the Conven-
tion of Oregon Assessors was devoted
e"tlrely to a consideration of the re
port of the Oregon Tax Commission
and n? many recommendations relating
to assessment and taxation. Only a
part of the report was reviewed, but
the assessors concurred with the Tax
Commission In its recommendations.
Unanimous approval was had of the
Buggestlon that the state poll tax of i
bo Hholfshpd. and as a.n alternative,
that It be added to the road poll tax,
bo that the latter siiaii be $4 instead
Of $S per annum. Under tthe pregent
praotice the 1 poll tax Is'a dead let
ter In this state. The assessor Is directed-
to collect this tax, but Is given
no authority to enforce the collection.
Another more or less complex sub.
Jeot considered at ycBtrday'a snsion
was that of pornonal property, and the
convention Indorsed the recommenda
tions of the Tax Comm Ifision in this
reg-ard also. Among- the other features
of the tax laws considered were : Ap
portionment of liquor license fees be-
twecn the state and municipalities and
inheritance taxes.
There wns an Increased attendance
of Assessors yesteraay. but the work:
of the association will not be con
cluded before tomorrow. In fact, sev
eral of the delegates will remain in
Jills city until next week:. In the
meantime they are trapy buttonholing
members of the Legislature in thft in
ter?st of several measures the Asses
sors expect to have Introduced at Sa

will go to Salem and further present
their interests and enlist support in the
pending measures.
Paper by Assessor Strain.
Assessor siyicr, president of the as-
SOelaHon. read an exhaustive paper
yesterday afternoon on "The Commis
sion as an Adjunct or Government, and
the Report of the Oregon Tax ConimiS-
wn," prepared and forwarded by c.
P. Strain. Assessor of Umatilla Countv.
Discussing the report of the Commis
sion, Mr. Strain takes exception to the
recommendation tor a unit System In
nltulnsr assessments. He. commends
the work: of the commission as a whole,
but save it is in need of many
amendments. Mr. Strain propose a
constitutional amendment, providing
reasonable exemptions to all. letting
taxation rest upon all property In ex-

cludlnjr his paper, for which the Writer

to County Assessors. ,
I do not object to this scheme as an ab

Among: the minor recommendations, these
are Important:
J. Requirement for flTlnir objections to as

2. A single roll.
3. Making personal property taxes a lien

4. Collection of delinquent taxes on real

5. Apportionment of liquor license taxes
between the state and municipalities,
8. Corporation organization fees.
I did not expect to dlscuas precinct -Assessors,
but I find sufficient sentiment In favor
ot it to warrant its consideration here.
So loner as the County Court makes the
levy for the whole county, a. at present, the
prectnet plan of UMUtuent - a n not be adopt
ed without violation of an Important principle
of taxation.
The boundaries of the assessing district ana
of the tax levying- district should be the same.
My county baa 40 precincts and one County
Court.
Give us 40 Assessors, each Independent of
the other 38, ana we shall have assessments
made at 40 different percentage of actual
value. with a progressive tendency toward
lower valuations from year to year.
While the state made a. levy Cor state pur-
pose upon the valuation as returned by
County Assessors, even though these were ub-
ject to equalization by a state board, this
tendency prevailed.
It In boynd to pre-vmll everywhere that an
opportunity is afforded a precinct to cheat

The County Assessor can have but little

would be possible under the precinct plan.
In conclusion, permit me to say that while
I do not fully arree with them, the Commis
sion have made a report of such value sa to
entile them to the gratitude of the state. IC
wisely acted upon by the legislature, It Will

Itepresenting Principal Towns
in Arizona.
If Tucson, Ariz, is in earnoM, Port-
land's baseball club Is In for a fine time
durlnsr the Snrinir traintnir season. Man
ager M"Cred1e yesterday received a lettor
from CJcorge W. flttook. city editor of
Tucson Dull)- star, o?Rin lilm whether
arrangoment could be made with him. to
bring the Portland baseball club to
Tucson and pl,y a series of -games with
the crack baseball clubs of Arizona.
Mr. Pittock. is well known in Portland.
He is a brother of IT. La. Tittock. mnr
ager of The Oreponlan. and having a
warm spot in his heart for Portland, he
wanta to have the Pacific Coast heague
champions of visit Tucson. Mr.
TMttoek states in Ills letter that the busi
ness men of Tucson are baseball fans of
the first water. Several of the large
cities in the territory support bung-up
baseball teams and It Is Mr. Plttock's
intention to take the Portland team to
Tucson and arrange a series of games
with the clubs of other cities and have
all of the games played at Tucson.
The Idea of taking his team to Tucson
has made a favorable impression on Man
ager McCredle and. he Is willing' to Ret
his team for 1307 together ty the last
of February and take the men to Ari
zona, provided the Tucson people will
afcree to his trms. McCredle has writ
ten to Mr. Pittock stating his willingness
to go to Tucson and all that he asks Is
that Tucson agree to pay the expenses
of the team, while there and their rail
road transportation to the training camp
in California. In BpeaKing of tills trip
Manager McCrpdte said.
"Nothing- would please me better than
a trlt of this sort. I would "be willing
to take about 36 men to Tucson, In fact
I would rather go there and play a series
of Karnes with the Arizona clubs than
spend all of the time in a training camp.
We could get down there in time to. get
the boys limbered up, and a series of
games with other clubs would bo better
for the players than ten weeks of train
ing in California. J . understand the
climate there during- March Is fine. "We
