THE 3IORIG OKEGOTIAX, TTTESDAT, SEPTEMBER 22, 1908. 6 if motors- i TQ BHSt VftUSES Cheias Assessor Tells Tax Board That Commission ers Cut His Figures. ELECTRIC ROADS PROTEST Will Groves, of Spokane, Declares Unnecessary Burdens Are Im- . posed on Internrban Lines. Suggests Plan to Board. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Sept. II. (Special.) A decided surprise occurred at today's meeting of the State Board of Equaliza tion. when the Assessor of Chehalls County testified that assessments In that county were only 18 to 29 per cent of true values. Asked why he had not made assessments at 60 per cent of the value, as directed by the State Board, he said he had tried to raise the values last year little bit. but the County Commission ers had cut them down. Superintendent Reed, of the Western Union, and Forehand, for the Postal, ap peared before the Board to urge that as sessments for those companies be re duced. They said that In making up the property lists of the companies, the Tax Commissioners had included a lot of stock owned by the companies, but which were not a part of their operating prop erty. Late in the afternoon the Board took up the protests of representatives of the electric lines of the state. The first speaker was Attorney Will Graves, of Spokane, representing the Spokane & In land. He asserted that there seemed to be a general disposition to throw un necessary burdens upon such lines, and as examples he said that the Spokesman Review had started a campaign in Spo kane to force construction of concrete bridges and to compel his company to pay one-half the cost of any such bridges it laid tracks on. He said that an effort had been made In Spokane to hold his company up on a new franchise for a IB-mill earnings tax and declared also that from what he had beard West Side cities were throwing heavy burdens upon electric lines. He said the assessment of his company was decidedly unfair as com pared with Its competitors. The O. R. & N.. he said, is assessed about two and one-half times the Inland road, though It has three times the trackage, actual connections west and east, and net earnings per mile 21 times as great. In Spokane, he said, the Washington Water Power Company was assessed but half as much as the Graves' line, although Its earnings were eight times as great. He said further, that to day the stocks of the Graves' lines are not worth a cent, because they are paying no dividends and that their value Is purely speculative. He In sisted that the only fair basis for tax ing the electric lines was upon their earning capacity, and said that the tax as levied by the State Tax Commis sion, one-third of their net earnings, was confiscatory and would put elec tric lines out of business. Proposes Schedule to Board. In closing he submitted a schedule which is apparently agreed to by the other electric roads for a new method of valuation which will greatly reduce the assessment levied by the commissioners. This method Is to assume that the aver age operating expenses of electric lines is TO per cent of gross-earnings. .Graves says It works out at about this percent age in the whole state. Subtract this 70 per cent from the earnings and capitalize the remaining 30 per cent at 8 per cent, which he says Is a fair rate of interest. deduct from the amount thus received 10 per cent for depreciation and the re sult will be what Mr. Graves and other electric men declare would be a fair value. In the case of -the Graves road this would be S3.361.770. as against W.706.603, returned by the Tax Commission. Of course Mr. Graves would have this figure further reduced for assessment to 60 per cent or whatever other basts the State Board adopts for all property. Jacob Furth. of Seattle, representing the Stone-Webster lines, addressed the board in favor of Mr. Graves' plan, as did representatives of the electric lines.

Difficulties between the building trades unions of Portland and the Y. M. C. A. are in a fair way to settlement..

Numerous confer ences have been held lately between the opposing Interests And. Xti situation tias been thoroughly canvassed. At such a meeting yesterday, ft was thought likely that an adjustment would be effected, but matters were delayed until today that the union delegates present miKM. refeT the proposed settlement to the Building Trades Alliance, which met last night. At that meeting, it Is understood the question was gone over In detail and a a 1 i.i m i . wA v l.tJ to the Y. M. C. A. at today's conference. I The details of -this would not be divulged last night -by the union delegates, they preferring to submit it to the Y. M. C. Itt before making it public In a general way. it Insists upon an eight-hour day instead of working certain mechanics employed upon the new Y. M. C. A. building ten hours, as Is the rule at present. Secretary H. W. Stone has played the part of the pacificator in the present trouble, having taken the matter up actively some time ago. It is now be lieved that matters have progressed far enough to warrant the assurance that in all probability, the existing difficulties will be adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned at today s meeting.

In the High School between 15 and 20 per cent of those who re ported came from points ouuside the city: In face of the additional recitation rooms furnished by the annex to the High School building, the schoolrooms will be taxed to the limit.

Gains Frames Deal With Farmers of. Eastern Oregon. LATTER ACTED HASTILY Seeking Now to Repudiate Any Promise Made to Gains Should Hallway Commission Secure Lower Wheat Tariff. Whether F. W. Gaines, an enterprising Union County , man. shall collect from a large number of Eastern Oregon farmers a commission of 50 per cent on any re duction In freight rates that may be made on the O. R. & N. and Its branches by order of the Railroad Commission. Is a question just now agitating the minds of a number of farmers and also of the members of the Railroad Commission. Mr. Gaines expects to get the commis sions running into large but unknown sums. The farmers and the members of the Commission won't let him get the fees if they can help It. Last week J. L. Woodell, of La Grande, and W. T. Walllnge, of Allcel, shippers of grain, were in Salem attend ing the State Fair and while here they held a conference with Railroad Commis sioner Oswald West. The story they told was that last May F. W. Gaines went among Eastern Oregon farmers, reminded them what high freight rates they are paying on their wheat, told them he was working on the subject in conjunction with the Railroad Commission and might be able to get an order from the Com mission reducing the rates. Farmers Act Hastily. This would require much work and ex pense on his part, but would mean a great saving of money to the farmers. In order that he might be reimbursed lor his work and expenditure, Gaines in duced a large number of farmers throughout Eastern Oregon to sign a con tract agreeing to pay bim half the amount of the reduction in freight on their grain the first season after the order reducing the rates should be made. When the farmers got to tninmng tne matter over some of them wondered whether they had not acted hastily. After consulting with Railroad Commissioner West, Messrs. Woodell and Walllnge had no further doubt that they had acted unwisely. Mr. West declared today that there is no reason whatever why any farmer or other shipper should pay any man a com mission or fee for securing a reduction in freight rates. Board Busy on Own Initiative. "The Railroad Commlsssion was created for the purpose of Investigating railroad service and railroad rates and Is authorized to order that reasonable services be given and a reasonable rate charged. The Commlsssion has been busy with work of this kind ever since It was created. The state appropriates money to pay the expense of the investigations. It requires District Attorneys and the Attorney-General to aid the Commission at all times and we have found all the state's attorneys ready and willing to perform their duty," declares Mr. West. The Commission, on Its own initiative. has been working for some time on the question of grain rates In .Eastern Ore gon. This work we have done without aid or suggestion from Mr. Gaines. Hav ing gathered information which satis fied us that a formal hearing should be had. we made an order on September 3 directing that a hearing on the reason ableness of the grain rates be held. A week later Mr. Gaines filed a complaint asking that such be had. We shall go ahead with our Investigation and hearing just as though Mr. Gaines had not filed his complaint. The Commission Willi call witnesses and pay their mileage and per diem. The state's salaried attorneys will render all the legal aid shippers may need. J can see no reason, therefore, why Eastern Oregon farmers should pay or agree to pay any man a fee In case a reduction in rates should be ordered." LEWIS WINS NOMINATION Aberdeen Aspirant Successful as State Treasurer Candidate. ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 21. (Spe cial.) With complete returns from 31 out of the 37 counties of the state, John G. Lewis of Aberdeen, has a ma jority oyer E. K. Erwln of Spokane, for the Republican nomination for state treasurer, of 5624. Counting the Incomplete returns from Pierce County, which J. L.

LOW VITALITY A Dangerous Attendant Symp tom of Ansmia. Many Sarloua Disorders May Roault from Impoverished Blood but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Prevent nd Curt Thank ... Besides the thinning of the blood in SpgTTiia. there is a low vitality which is a matter for serious consideration be cause it gives opportunity for any latent trouble to develop. Thus, ' anaemia (bloodless) people often, have reason to fear consumption, and the blood failing to give proper nourishment to the nerves, debility, neuralgia, and even some form of paralysis may result. Mrs. E. L. Harrod, of 413 South Ohio avenue, Muncie, Ind., recommends Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because they re stored her to health -when all other medi cines failed. - ''Fifteen years ago," she says, "when I was living at Belief on taine, Ohio, I was suffering with ane mia. I was pale and had a wax-like color and was so short of breath that I couldn't go up stairs withtmt stopping to rest or couldn't stand the least little exertion. I was run down ana very thin, didn't feel like eating and didn't want to talk to-orsee anyone. My heart would palpitate so that I would feel weak. I couldn't sleep well, coughed constantly and had pains under my shoulders. I was so miserable that. I wanted to die. "The doctors told me that my blood wag turning into water, and that I was going into a decline and asked me if there had been any consumption in my family. They didn't help me at all and I had read so much about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I decided to try a box of them. They helped me so much that I gave up all other medicine and pinned my faith to them alone. I took several boxes and in a few weeks was completely restored to health. I became strong and healthy and was able to work again. I know Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved my life and I heartily recommend them. " A helpful booklet "Diseases of the Blood" giving more information about anaemia will be sent free upon request. If you are suffering from impoverished blood you cannot afford to wait another day before giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a thorough trial. They are for sale by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 cents per box; six boxes for $3.50, by the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. T. and a barely perceptible change of color was the only evidence which he gave that he had heard or heeded the words which pronounced his doom. A second motion similar to the first was filed by the at torneys for the defense and again over ruled, and they were granted until No vember 1 to file a bill of exceptions. SOUTH BEND TO COLUMBIA HILL LIXE HAS AGENT BUYIXG RIGHTS OF WAY. Proposed fiine Believed to Be Exten sion of North Bank Railroad. Opens Fine Country. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Sept. 11. (Special.) The Grays Harbor & Co lumbia River Railroad has, through Herman Martin, of Tacoma, been en gaged for some time in buying right-of- way for a railroad through the North River, Nasel and Nema valleys. The right-of-way from the Willapa River to Grays Harbor has been prac tically secured and Mr. Martin is now working from the Willapa toward the Columbia River. ' It is said the new road will traverse the North River valley, crossing that stream eight times and will cross the Willapa River at the lower end of the Potter ranch, which is situated Just below South Bend; thence it will fol low the contour of the bay to Bone River, then cut through to the forks of the Pallx River and thence through the Nema and Nasel valleys to the Columbia. The new road is a branch of the Northern Pacific and will probably be a continuation of the North Bank road. It will open up large sections of rich land to settlement and assist mate rially in the development of the re sources of the country. EXCITING HUNT FOR BEAR SOUTH BEND SPORTSMAN EN COUNTERS SIX IN BUNCH. Animals Appear in Sight One After Another He Succeeds in Killing Two and Wounding Two. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Sept. a. (Spe cial.) Harry Steele, a recent arrival here from California, had an exciting ex perience Saturday while hunting on the outskirts of the town. A crackling of the brush drew his attention and he saw a bear standing upon its hind legs and looking at him. He took a shot at the animal and wounded it in the breast. At the sound of the shot another bear rose into view a short distance away and Mr. Steele shot at it and killed It. No sooner had he done so that a third bear appeared at a somewhat greater distance. While Mr. Steele was taking careful aim at this one a fourth bear came into view between him and the third one. This one he also succeeded in killing and within a few seconds two other bears appeared in sight, one of which he wounded. Three of the bears were cubs and three old ones, and all came Into sight at dif ferent spots within a few seconds of each other. Although Mr. Steele might have been pardoned for becoming somewhat "rattled" under the circumstances he evi dently kept pretty cool, as he killed two of them outright and wounded two others, only two escaping unhurt. Bears are numerous in this section this season, but Mr. Steele's experience beats all previous records. IMPROVING UPPER VALLEY Prominent Portland Men Interested in Hood River Country.
