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."

Mrs. Smith Could Not Stand
Husband's Seances.
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.

FOLLOWS PUN OF SIGLEH
SEATTLE ASSESSOR. SHOCKS THE
PKOPEKTYOWXEUS.
Values Property at True Worth and
Raises Assessments High Above
the Former Level.
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

G. L. Joell, a negro editor with a

testifying in the Hermann case, and con
veyed to McNeil s Island, on the Sound.

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.

From New York
rather than "the man
it
who said show me" as to life insurance. Everyone
knows that the New York Legislature investigated the
insurance situation but everyone may not know that the
insurance laws of New York are now recognized as the
best in the world. 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. It is withal a mutual company
belonging to its policy holder and they must therefore
participate in the vast savings and economies which have
been put into effect by the new management. Things
are bound to be good for the Mutual Life policy
holder.
The Time to Act is NOW.
