STATE TO MAKE NO CLAIM
East Portland rrojxrt y-Owners on
Proebstel Estate) Undisturbed.
SAX.KM. Or., Oct. 1 (Special.) Gov
ernor I'hamberlaln announced today that
the suite of Oregon will not bring pro
cee d ', nK to escheat the property of the
Jane I'roeostel estate, covering a large
tract of land in Kst Portland, upon
which there are now hundreds of homes.
Sometime ago question was raised as
to the title to the property the assertion
having been made that there weie no
lielra and that the property should have
escheated to the state when Jane
Proebstel died 30 years ago. Governor
Chamberlain said today that even If the
state had a chance of recovering the
property, he would not permit suit to be
brought after the title has been ac
cepted as good for many years.
Vcaxie & Veaxie. Portland attorneys,
asked the Governor to announce his in
tention as some enterprising attorneys
have been going among property-owners
In the Proebstel tract securing ISO con
tributions toward a fund for the purpose
of defeating the state's claim. Since
the state has no claim, those who have
contributed the money are out the
amount of their contributions.
TO HURRY CRIMINAL CASES
Judge Burnett Establishes New
Grand Jury Practice.
SALEM. Or., Ocl 2. (Special.) Cir
cuit Judge George H. Burnett has es
tablished a new grand Jury practice
which will tend to carry out that pro
vision of the state constitution which
guarantees every accused man a trial
without delay. He has arranged to
have criminal cases at each term of
court investigated by the grand jury
drawn at the term preceding, thus nav
ing the Indictments filed before the
trial Jury is drawn. Demurrers and
dilatory motions can thus be heard and
disposed of and the cases prepared for
trial by the time the trial Jury Is ready
for work.
In the oast it has been the practice
to draw a grand jury on the first day
of each term, and then have the grand
Jury proceed to. investigate criminal
charges.- As the men are frequently
new at the work and must take con
siderable time to hear and weigh the
evidence. It is usually late In the term
before indictments are filed. Then, If
demurrers and motions are filed, the
cases must be set for hearing on these
preliminary questions. When these
have been disposed of it Is frequently
too late to have a Jury trial at that
term.
UnOr the new practice, Jnflge Ben
nett did not dismiss the grand Jury
when it completed its work at the July
term, but had it adjourn until one
week before the beginning of the Oc
tober term. The July grand Jury will
therefore Investigate criminal charges
for the October term. If indictments
should be filed, all preliminary ques
tions can be heard promptly, for the
court will not be busy with work of
the October term. Then, when the Oc
tober term begins, the cases can be set
for trial before the Jury on their merits.

Washington's State Board of Equal'
lzatlon Attempting to Strike Av
erage for All Parts of
Commonwealth.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Oct. 1 (Special.)
The State Board of Equalization in mak
ing up its estimate has based all property
in the state upon 140 percent of Its real
value, has then found for each county
what percentage of true value has been
returned by each county board of equall
zation and has ascertained that the aver
age value returned Is 43.0S percent of
actual value. So that this latter basis will
be the basis for this year's levy ot state
taxes.
These findings were made up from the
special hearings held by members of the
Tax Commission In many of the counties
and from the evidence submitted by the
railroad tax agents, county officers and
others at the State Board session. Tak
lng these percentages as found the office
force of the Board of Equalization is a
present figuring out the state valuation
for each county so as to bring the higher
ones down and the lower ones up to the
mean average of 43.08 per cent.
Had the State Board accepted the fig
ures as submitted by the several county
boards, the counties which are assessed
on a low percentage of values would have
paid proportionately little state tax, while
those like Spokane and King, which made
a high assessment, would have been pen
alized by having to pay proportionately
higher state taxes.
Last year's assessment on presumably
a 60 percent basis aggregated $573,000,000,
while this year, on a 43 percent basis. It
totals $748,000,000. The board's findings
show Skamania County has assessed at
63.73 percent of true -alue. Ferry 60 per
cent; Okanogan 57.33; Columbia 61.69. Fifth
highest on the list is Spokane with 61.64
percent. King Is listed at 46.78 percent,
but this Is figured after taking off the
20 percent cut made on the assessor's
figures by the County Board. Pierce is
below the average, with 42.33 percent.
Chehalis is the lowest, with 23.42 percent.
In working out the amounts to be paid
by the several counties along this plan
the result will be that for instance, Spok
ane County will pay proportionately about
one-half as much state taxes per thousand
dollars county assessed valuation as will
Chehalis County. King County profits al
most relatively as well, and Pierce County
will Just about break even.
OFFENDERS GET NO MERCY
Must Plead to All Indictments and
Suffer Jail Penalty.
PENDLETON. Or.. Oct, 2. (Special.)
That no mercy will be shown the vio
lators of the prohibition law, even
though they should plead guilty, was
declared by District Attorney Phelps
today. The opinion has been freely ex
pressed that the Indicted men would
be allowed to plead to one indictment.
pay a nominal fine and then go free
with the other Indictments hanging
over their heads to enforce good be
havior. Phelps declared today, how
ever, that such would not be the case
and that In order to escape trials, pleas
of guilty must be entered to more than
one Indictment, thus practically Insur
ing Jail sentences for every man ac
cused.
The case against Tom Murrell has
been set for trial Monday. He has en
tered a plea of not guilty. The other
cases will evidently be tried as fast
as they can be reached. In addition to
the Indictments previously given out it
was announced today that true bills
had been returned against Henry
Kopittke. of this city, and Charles
Newcomb, of Pilot Rock, for Illicit
liquor selling.
STATE TAX LEVY 4.8 MILLS
Lowest Assessment In Washington in
Many Years.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Oct 2. (Special.)
The State Board of Equalization yester
day fixed the tax levy as follows:
State general fund 1.6 mills, state
school fund. 5 mills, state military fund
.2 mill, state highway fund .6 mill.
Total 4.S mills. This Is a reduction of
8.06 mills over the levy of last year and
Is one of the lowest levies In the history
of the state. Last year the general fund
rate was 2.6 mills, school fund 6 mills
and the highway and military funds half
what they are this year. The two latter,
however, are fixed by statute and not
by the equalization board.
While no detailed figures have been
given out, nor will they probably be
fore Sunday, the total assessed valua-i
tton as equalized by the State Board
will be In excess of J74&.000.000, as com
pared with $573,070,528, for the preceding
year. The new levy. In spite of the
largely increased valuation, will raise
somewhat less money for general fund
purposes that last year, but receipts
from other sources. It Is believed, will
be ample to provide the state revenues.

NEW SKIN REMEDY
STOPS ITCHING
Skin Troubles of Infants and .Adults
Quickly Cured.
When It Is known that poslam, the
new skin remedy, will stop the tortur
ous Itching attending eczema with first
application and bring immediate relief
and comfort to sufferers from all skin
troubles, its merit will be instantly ap
preciated. On the tender skin of char
lng li:fants, poslam may be used with
soothing and beneficial effects. It is
applied externally, and Its remarkable
healing powers begin their work at
once.
All skin diseases. Including eczema,
acne, herpes, rash, tetter, etc., yield
readily to Its remarkable curative prop
erties. Occasional applications of
poslam, in small quantities, will quick
ly banish pimples, hives, blackheads
blotches, and will relieve and cure itch
ing feet, scaly scalp humors, etc. A spe
cial 50-uent package has been adopted
for those who use poslam for these minor
troubles. This, as well as the regular
two-dollar Jar, Is on sale at the Skid
more Drug Co., and other leading drug
stores, in Portland.
An experimental supply of poslam
may be obtained free of charge by
writing to the Emergency Laboratories,
