EARLY FIRE IN FOREST Portland Hunters Driven From the Woods Beyond Cazadero. Dana Sleeth. editor of the People's Press, accompanied by Frank F. I.lerhke. was driven by fire out of the forest southeast of Cazadero on Sun day. The two men had gone Into the timber on a prospecting and pleasure trip combined, and on Friday after noon when they returned to thir camp, remarked on the beautiful view and rlesr atmosphere. - The next morning when they a.-ose they were surprised to note volumes of- smoke rising from the hillsides, apparently coming from each of the many valleys lying between their campsite and Mount Hood. Going to the top of a ridge, they saw evidences of a forest fire that seemed to have sprung up in as many as IB different places, coming together to form a sight that caused the hunters to seek safety. The section Is the same that was burned over about four years ago. when several lives were lost in the flretrap. Mr. Sleeth says that while it Is unusual for forest fires to break out so early In the year, the section they visited is covered with masses of fallen timber and heavy underbrush, which is surprisingly dry, and he feared the fire would obtain great headway before checked. There are but few people In that locality, so far as he could observe, but the tract is literally alive with big and little game. He saw tracks of cougar and deer, which will be driven out If the fire progresses. "I don't know just how far the flre will BPread." said Mr. Sleeth. "but after taking a good look at the pros pect from a high ridge, we decided it would be mora comfortable in Port land, and here we are."

TELLS STORY ON STAND declares Slie Wad Seldom Given Money and Was Forced to Work In the Harvest Field to Earn Her Living. Mrs. Rosetta Smith testified before Judge Gantenbein yesterday afternoon. In the divorce suit brought toy her hus band, that during the 20 odd years they had lived together, he had given her so little money, she had almost forgotten Its appearance. Her statements are made in a counter suit, asking for legal separa tion, and the custody of Marie, their 16 year old daughter. The wife alwo charges that her husband, as a Spiritualistic rpedium, had compelled her to partici pate In his seances until she was nearly Insane. lt was the insane asylum, or leave him she said. "I left him, and I never rogretted it." R. B. Smith, a lumberman, originally brought suit for divorce against his wife some time ago, but the figse was con tinued to secure additional depositions and evidence. The story Is one of many complications, among which is the charge against-the woman of infidelity, and that she made the statement that she did not love her husband any more, and wanted to leave him. They were married in Vancouver. Washington. November 18. 1S79, and lived together with more or less trouble until February, 1902, when mat ters reached a climax. "Ever since we have been married,' Mrs. Smith said. I have helped my hus band make a living. I worked with him In the held, only stopping long enough to eat my meals. About the only money he gave me was $150 as consideration for my interest in a pljce of property in which I signed over all my rights to him He says I etole $20 from him. He gave me $25 once, which I placed in a clock. He looked for it later, but I took it, and would not let him have it back, because he seldom ever gave me more than j quarter at a time, and very seldom any thing." Smith, on the stand, charged his wife with kidnapping his youngest child; also with neglect of her family, and a cold ness towards hlni which he could stand no longer. Mrs. Ida Smith, a sister of the defendant, testified that the husband when sent to buy eggs, butter, and other articles, spent the money for a pair of slippers, which he gave to a Mrs. Bowers, whom the wife names as the one with whom Smith flirted. After his wife left him. Smith took his two youngest daughters to Portland. He allowed the younger to go to a matinee, and the girl did not return. He found her at the home of her mother, he said and regained possession of her after s fight with his wife. He then sent the girl to Ills sister's home near Oregon City to live, and when he returned again to Portland the other child was gone, so he testified. "When the court adjourned at 5 o'clock Mrs. Smith was being grilled under cross examination by Attorney Cleeton, for the plaintiff. ALLEGES FA1XT7RE TO PROVIDE Mrs. John E.

Seattle and King County are experi encing shock after shock these days, since County Assessor T. A. Parish Is assessing the property at something ike its real value. Two years ago when B. 15. Sigler became County As essor of Multnomah County, the large property-owners of Portland received similar unpleasant thrills. Assessor Parish is following practically the tac tics adopted by Sigler. In 1904, the porperty in the County of Multnomah was assesed at $56,000. 000. In round numbers. Assessor Sigler made his first assessment in 1905. when the figures jumped to J143.00O.O00. Like unto Seattle, the property-owners besieged the Assessor with protests and petitions for mercy, and about 1000 protests were filed. Last year Mr. Sig ler increased the valuation to sisi.- 000,000, and this year the appraisement will not be less than t200.000.000. The newspapers tell of how Parish, when he went Into office, found that department stores had paid taxes on the same valuation for as much as six years at a stretch. In Portland, the first year Assessor Sigler was In office he appraised property as high as $150,000. where before it had been as sessed at $25,000. "Since I have been In office." said Mr. Sigler. last night. "I believe that the small property-owners pay less in proportion than they did, and the larg er holders a larger percentage. Va cant lots and shacks do not make a city. For this reason I assess im provements as low as I possibly can, under the law. "Take, for instance, an individual who puts up an elegant building In Portland. As soon as that building is up I have to go around and fine him for making the improvement. T have to place the fine. It Is nothing else, but I make it light as I can consistently do so. Land I try to assess within 5 per cent of Its cash value. "The valuation this year will be placed at not less than $200,000,000 for the county. The property in the city will be valued at about $185,000,000. Last year It was $166,000,000. Property in some parts of the city has had but slight increase, but I know of some lots that have doubled In value during the last 12 months. "Tn King County the cry Is raised that by increasing the valuation the city Is made to assume an unjust por tion of the state's taxes. In Multno mah County It is entirely different. In Oregon, the counties have to pay a certain proportion of the taxes. For instance, Multnomah County furnishes nearly one-third of the state taxes, and whether the valuation is high or low In this county makes no differ ence." NEGRO MASHER IS FINED G. L. Joell Must Pay $10 for Annoy ing Women. G. L. Joell, a negro editor with a propensity for street flirtation, was fined $40 in the Municipal Court yes terday forenoon, when found guilty of having annoyed Miss Edna Hui, a young white woman.

He was arrested shortly after ward for having annoyed the young woman. Patrolman Nelson testified that Joell offered to bet $250 that Miss Hauz would not appear against him. The colored man's defense consisted of a denial of all the charges against him. He denied having followed the girl, having flirted with her, having spoken to the detectives about her conduct, and Baid he did not offer to bet with Policeman Nelson. Judge Cameron found him guilty and imposed the fine of $40. MINISTERS HOLD MEETINGS Church Topics Discussed by Baptist and Methodist Churches.

MELDRUM TO FACE BARS Order Given for His Imprisonment at McNeill's Island.

He will also have to pay a fine of $5300. Yesterday United States Attorney Bris tol asked Judge Wolverton for an order directing that process issue against Mel drum according to judgment, and that he be committed to the custody of United States Marshal and conveyed to the place of imprisonment. Judge Wol verton immediately ordered the clerk of the court to issue the proper process, and a United States Marshal will appre hend the ex-Surveyor-General upon his arrival. Meldrum was convicted about three years ago, on an indictment containing 21 counts, on a charge of making fraudu lent surveys and collecting the fees for the same. For nearly two years the case dragged along, but when Mr. Bristol came into office he argued a motion for a new trial before Judge Wolverton, with the result that the case went to the Circuit Court of Appeals, where a de cision was rendered against Meldrum. The ex - Surveyor - General protested against going to Washington to testify against his old friend, Hermann, and only consented to do so when Mr. Bristol, after a dramatic scene with Meldrum, threatened to send him to Washington in irons.

Other states will doubtless follow, but New York has led the way in laws made in the interest of the insured. The Mutual Life Insurance Company operates under these laws. Its policies have the state's approval.
