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.

HEINOUS CRIME IS FOILED
Attempt to Burn Family Alive Avert
ed in Xlck of Time.
BELLINGHAM. Wash.. Sept. 21. Only
the unexpected return of a roomer saved
Mike Olebar. his wife and seven children
from cremation at 211 Mackenzie avenue,
early this morning.
The only egress from the building is a
doorway opening directly on the sidewalk,
the house standing on high pilings. Pitch
pine knots had been piled against the
door and fired, the door falling inward

LABOR TROUBLES WILL END
Unions and Y. M. C. A. to Have
Conference Regarding Work.
Difficulties between the building trades
unions of Portland and the Y. M. C. A.
are in a fair way to settlement.. It is ex
pected that a conference to be held this
morning between delegates from the
Building Trades Alliance snd the Y. M.
sp. A- building committee will adjust the
present bad feeling. 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.
BIG INCREASE IN EUGENE
SCHOOL ENROLLMENT FIRST
DAT IS 1687.
This Is 345 More Than Opening Day
Year Ago More School Room
Must Be Provided.
EUGENE. Or.. Sept. 21. (Special.)
The Eugene public schools opened to
day with much the highest first-day's
enrollment In their history. Before
noon today 1400 pupils reported In the
grades and 286 in the High School,
making a total of 1687, as compared
with 1392 on the opening day last Fall,
or an Increase of 345.
A striking feature of today's enroll
ment Is the number of new pupils.
While it was Impossible to get a close
count on the number of new puptls in
the grades. 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. The Geary
School today is quite the most crowded
of the four buildings and an Immediate
readjustment must be made to accom
modate the pupils.

MIS FEE IF
RATES ARE GUT
F. W. 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. Murray prob
ably carried over either of the other
two candidates, but In which Lewis will
lead Erwln, Mr. Lewis has a majority
over Erwln of 5859. Estimating that
Erwln will carry Spokane, his home
county, by 5000, a very liberal estimate,
the figure being placed no higher by
Mr. Erwln's friends, Mr. Lewis prob
ably wins the nomination by about
1000 majority over Erwln.

HEMBREE DENIED RETRIAL
Judge Burnett Sentences Convicted
Man to Be Hanged.
DALLAS. Or., Sept. 21. (Special.) Cir
cuit Judge George H. Burnett this morn
ing overruled the motion to have the
verdict set aside and a new trial ordered
for A. J. Hembree. who was convicted of
the murder of his wife last- June, and
sentenced the prisoner to the death
penalty. Even at that most trying mo
ment the remarkable nerve of the
prisoner which has held him up in
stoical calmness throughout the changing
fortunes of his case, did not fall him.
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.

Dyspepsia
Mrs. W. Warner, New Orleans, La.,
After Suffering for Years from
Dyspepsia, Found Immediate
Belief From the Use of
Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey.
Recently she wrote : "I have been
suffering from dyspepsia for the last
12 years, and have tried almost every
thing, but failed to get relief. I was
told to try Duffy's Pure Malt Whis
key. I went to the drugstore and
bought a bottle, and before I finished
using it I was relieved. I 'have been
taking Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for
some time and am glad to say it was
the medicine that cured me. I highly
recommend it to any one suffering
from dyspepsia."
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
is an absolutely pure distillation of
malted grain, great care being used to
have every kernel thoroughly malted,
thus destroying the germ and produc
ing a predigested liquid food in the
form of a malt essence, which is the
most effective tonic stimulant and in
vigorator known to science; softened
by warmth and moisture, its palata
bility and freedom from injurious
substances render it so that it can be
retained by the most sensitive stom
ach. 1
If weak and run down, take a tea
spoonful four times a day in half a
glass of milk or water.
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is Eold
throughout the world by druggists,
grocers and dealers, or shipped direct
for $1.00 a large bottle.
If in need of advice, write Consult
ing Physician, Duffy Malt Whiskey
Company, Rochester, New York, stat
ing your case fully. Our doctors will
send you advice free, together with a
handsome illustrated medical booklet
containing some of the many thou
sands of gratifying letters received
from men and women in all walks of
life, both old and young, who have
been cured and benefited by the use
of the world's greatest medicine.
