MACHINE HITS CULVERT
Overturns and Pins Victims Under
neath, Killing J. Muller and
Badly Injuring His Wife,
Who May Xot Recover.
BAKER CITY, Or.. July 17. (Spe
cial.) This city was startled tonight
by the tragic death of J. Muller, and
the serious Injury of his wife, which
occurred in an automobile accident this
vening at the little station of Unity,
on the O. R. & N., between Baker City
and Huntington.
Mr. Muller, his wife and Harry Big
ham started for Boise from this city
about 3 o'clock this afternoon. At 5
o'clock they were .coasting down a
mountainside. Having reached the bot
tom, Mr. Blgham was in the act of
connecting the sparker when the ma
chine struck a culvert where dirt had
been washed from around it, gave a
lurch and turned over twice.
Xeck Broken by Machine.
Mr. Bigham was thrown clear of the
machine, but Mr. Muller was pinned to
the earth, the step breaking his neck.
Mrs. Muller was also caught beneath
the machine and suffered a broken arm,
broken shoulder and Internal injuries.
Mrs. Muller and Mr. Blgham were
brought In on passenger train No. 6,
and automobiles from Baker City were
snt after the body of Mr. Muller.
There is grave fear expressed that Mrs,
Muller will not recover.
J. Muller came from Helena to Baker
City about eight years ago and purchased
the Kentucky liquor store from Water
man and Schmitz. where he has conduct
ed a large wholesale and retail liquor
business ever since. The Muller family '
is very popular in this city and Mr. Mul
ler was one of the substantial and gen
erous business men. They have one
daughter. Miss Pauline, who is at pres
ent visiting relatives in Helena.
Aeronaut Perhaps Fatally Hurt.
This seems to be an ill-fated Friday for
Baker City. Following the tragic death
of J. Muller. the people of the city re
cleved a second shock when Professor
Hicks of Chicago, who was giving a bal
loon acceslon. was caught in the guy
ropes and thrown to the ground, just as
his balloon was rising, with- such force
that he became unconscious and was im
mediately taken to St. Elizabeth's hospi
tal, where he is reported to be dying.
As the professor struck the ropes, a
ple was loosened from the guys holding
it and struck two Chinamen, who are suf
fering from severe injuries.

NO FREE PASSES TO CITY
Aberdeen Officials Compelled to Pay
Toll to Cross Chehalls River.
ABERDEEN. Wash., July 17. (Spe
cial.) The old Morrison-street bridge
that served the people of Portland so
many years and which was purchased
by A. J. West and reconstructed over
the Chehalis River, where it is now
serving as a toll bridge, is causing a
commotion among the Councilmen. A
year ago the steamer Norwood collided
with a span of the structure and ,it
went into the river. There is a suit
still pending for damages. The Coun
cil, when it granted the franchise to
Mr. West, failed lo insert a clause
giving free transportation across the
bridge to city officials, and Mr. West
will not recognize them and they must
pay toll. The Mayor and Council are
up in arms and threaten to build an
other bridge or make a traffic ar
rangement with the Union Pacific Com
pany when it builds its proposed
bridge across the same river. Mr. West,
however, will stick to his determination
to refuse transportation, knowing that
the city is unable to build a bridge at
the present time and the time when
the Union Pacific will start is extreme
ly remote.

ROBBED AFTER. DEATH?
Wealthy Mining Man Dies Suddenly
in Seattle Hotel. '
SEATTLE, Wash., July 17. (Special.)
George D. Potter, a wealthy mining man
and the inventor of a streetcar fender
that is being given a trial by the Seattle

ease is believed to have been the cause
of his death. Last night he was in good
health. He hen had several hundred
dollars and a gold nugget in his posses
sion. The valuables could not be found
today.
Potter was a near relative of Patrick
Henry Winston, formerly Attorney-General
of Washington, and he came to Seat
tle about six months ago. He was well
known throughout this state. Idaho, Mon
tana and Alaska. He had mining inter
ests in the Coeur d'Alene country esti

course during the coming year at Colum

Cook has been in charge of the Aberdeen
ecbools for three years.
if added to the city taxes, which' were
collected this year, would have made
them between one-third and one-half
higher. The taxpayer who paid to the
city this year, say $12, would have paid
between $4 and J6 more if the charter
amendments had been in force. Had a
50-year sinking" fund tet- provided for.
the Increase would hav been J4, and
had there been a -5-year sinking fund,
the Increase would have been $6. The
extra levy would have been about 2
mills over the. levy of 4.B mills.
Burden Put on Property.
The big tax increase will come from
interest and sinking fund for the
J3.000.000 bonded debt, authorized for
the new pipeline from Bull Run. Not
water consumers will bear this ex
pense, as they do in most other cities,
and as they have done in Portland, but
property-owners. The law says: "The
said bonds and interest are to be paid
from taxes to be assessed, levied and
collected upon all real and personal
property in the City of Portland not
exempt from taxation."
The Interest on these bonds at 4 per
cent will amount to $120,000 a year an
nually; 150.000 additional which , the
city will be required to pay to the
water fund for fire . protection, will
raise that sum for taxpayers to
$170,000; and $60,000 a year more for
redemption of the bonds in 50 years
will raise the figure to $230,000 a year.
It is probable, however, that there will
be a demand for redemption in 25 years,
since the pipeline will hardly last for a
longer period than that.
Raise Levy to $290,000.
If it should succeed, the sinking
fund tax would be $120,000 a year,
which would raise the total to be levied
from taxpayers for the water-pipe, to
$290,000. This year -ae total city taxes
collected . from . property-owners
amounted to $9S0,000. The $290,000 ad
dition, therefore, would have increased
this year's city tax burden nearly 30'
per cent, the other city expenditures
would have raised the increase to 47
per cent.
Before the water bonds shall be sold
an effort will be made in the city elec
tion next June to change the amend
ment, so as to charge this burden up
to water-consumers, instead of to tax
payers. Only a little more than 10
months intervene until the next fcity
election. This will probably not be
a long enough period to sell the bonds
since the engineering project must first
be prepared, specifications and esti
mates made and bids advertised for.
Besides, in case of a determined ef
fort to change the amendment, there
could be injunctions on one claim or
another. As the amendment carried by
only 400 votes in the last city election,
the opponents of the tax feature think
they can make a successful fight next
time.
How Taxes Would Increase.
The following statement gives an
idea of the heavy tax increase that will
follow the new amendments:
Annual Tax Annual Tax for
for Interest. Sinking Fund.
Bull Run pipe. .$120,000 $120,000
Fire Dept '30.000
Parks -40.000 40.000
Docks JO. 000 Z'V.nno
Bridge 18.0OO 1S.0O0
Fire mains 11.000 11,000
Totals 25B.O0O ' $209,000
Annua! total tor Interest and Sink
ing Fund $468,000
Same total for redemption of
bonds In 30 years $363,500
Total taxes collected fcr Portland
- city government in 10O8 $P90.0O0
(Annual payment by city to water de
partment for fire protection.)
The increased' tax this year would
have amounted to 47 per cent, in case
lot bond redemption in 25 years, and 36
per cent in case of bond redemption in
50 years.
Esch of the new debts is to consist
of 25-year 4 per cent bonds, in denom
inations of $5000 or $1000. The amend
ments make no provision for sinking
funds. The maximum expenditures are
to be as follows:
Pipe from Bull Run .$3,OOO.onO
New parks l.OOO.OOO
Municipal docks 500,000
Madison bridge 4-V1.0O0
Fire mains 275,000
