SAY TAXES ARE TOO HIGH Xomfrous Krasnns Assigned by Complainants for Reductions in Figure Fixed by Assessor on Various Properties. Nearly 40 com Dlalnts against assess ments were made to the County Board of Equalization yesterday. Several were from corporations, a few from firms and in dividuals having large personal or realty interests, and the remainder from owners of property of comparatively small valu ations. The Astoria A Columbia River Railroad Company filed an objection yesterday morning to the assessment of its rolling stock at $24.7:0. The railroad company, through John McOuire, the superintend ent, stated that only a small part of its stock is In Multnomah County. Although the rolling stock was Inventoried March 1. 1907, at 1252.962, it is contended that wear and tear have reduced the actual cash value to 131,772. A request is made that the assessment of the entire stock be apportioned between Multnomah, Clat sop and Columbia Counties. 'The com pany's rolling stock consists of nine loco motives, a switch engine, 23 coaches, 144 flat cars, 43 box cars, six bunk oars, a plledtiver, steam shovel and plow, the latter worth $;. Kleckenstein. Mayer & Co. object to the assessment of its money, notes and ac counts at 115.00. This item should be it is asserted. Graton & Knight Manufacturing Com pany has protested against the assess ment of its merchandise at jao.OfiO because agencies were established last January in two Washington cities and at Coos Hay, thereby bringing about a decrease of the Portland stock. The merchandise assessment should be 915, io0. It is con tended. The money, notes and accounts ltm should be reduced from $10,000 to J7W9. according to the company's report. A. M. Sterns, 910 South Decatur street, St. John, objected because his assess ment was T!X b'ss than it should be. He asks "Brother Slgler" to "please correct." Sterns' money, notes and accounts were arbitrarily assessed at liJ. He says the Hem ought to be JiVjO. He was not as sessed for tools and wagons. This item should be J. and the assessment of a horse :& Evidently the Assessor did not know tlmt Mr. Sterns had a horse and wagon. Sterns does not object to the furniture Item of J500. The Oliver Chilled now Works has ob jected to its assessment, as did the Syra cuse Company. The Oliver Company's monev. notes and accounts are assessed at S.'S.Ort). while they should be J1000. It Is said. The merchandise assessment is d,-s!red to be placed at $13,04:), while it is now HO.Ofl. M. 1 Kline, a wholesale plumber, doing business on Front street, has put in an objection to the assessment of his stock and fixtures at JS7.0O3. He says this item should be not more than tS.OJiO, as his stock has decreased In value 2a per cent since last year. The Crane Company, says Kline, Is assessed at tffW0 for stock worth three times what Kline's is; while the Could Company fs assessed but Ja.OiX) for stock worth at least twice as much as Kline's. Kline's money, notes and ac counts are assessed at J;40,0i The hull of tile steamer Astorian, once a rate-cutter in the Astoria trade, was aswssed to I. B. Pcott at 115.000. J. Allen Harrison, assistant superintendent of the Vancouver Transportation Company, ac knowledges ownership of the property, but says the machinery has been re moved from the steamer and the hull is rotten and of no value. He asks that the assessment be stricken from the rolls. Tie steamer is now lying at the foot of tVlumbla street. C. Minsinger says that the assessment of lot 8 and a part of lot 9. Alhlna river lots, at J1S.900.. Is excessive. The property cost him only $12.30 and he be lieves that to be a fair valuation. Angellne Berry complained against her assessment of f-VO an acre for 40 acres !n section 19. township 1. north of range 2. near the city. She says the land Is unimproved, and that land north and east of her property Is assessed at only $150 an acre. According to Charles P. Church, an Injustice has been done him by the as sessment of inside lots at Alder Springs at and corners at $.". At Capitol Hill, which adjoins his addition, the assess ment is Jtn for Inside lots and iv for corners. Mr. Church say Capitol Hill enioys an oren five-cent car fare, while Aliler Sprlngs has to pay a commuter's fan of five cents or an open fare of 10 cents. On account of the difference in the fare, he has sold his lots at $30 less tlian the prices on the favored Capitol Hill, and he asks that his assessment be reduced $10 per lot. The Portland Kleetrie Sign Works asks that Its assessment of $300 for merchan dise and $3 for money, notes and ac counts be stricken from the rolls because the company went dead broke and into the hands of an assignee eight months ago." The Pacific Railway Advertising Com pany denied ownership of merchandise valued at $1 OO. ' It owns no merchan dise whater. Its officers said. They ad mitted the ownership of furniture, but fixed its value at fcC.60. or IT. 60 in exce,ss of the Assessor's arbitrary valuation. Raleigh Wilson bought a sailboat two years ago for ShX. The boat was as sessed to him at this amount. Mr. Wilson savs the assessment is too high. "I have offered to sell the boat for $23 and could find no purchaser," he declared. The Pontsch Compressing Company de nied having any money, notes and ac counts in Portland. The money, etc.. were ufialrs of the New York office. The com pany was assessed at $. for machinery and two for money, notes and accounts. No complaint was made against the ma chinery assessment. The Abbott-Church Company said the valuation of its merchandise was only $JrO instead of $oS00. and it had no money, notes and accounts. It was assessed at $;-in on money, notes and accounts. The W. J. Wiley Investment Company owns four dwellings on lots 17 and IS, block :. Couch Addition. The property was assessed at $.W. The buildings cost, in 16. The company leaves the matter for consideration by the Board. J. I.oewengnrt obfects to being assessed $x.) for an automobile. "I don't own It. says Mr. Loewengart in bis petition to bp stricken from the rolls. Fred Perry has a gasoline launch, and its most valuable part is the machinery. The assessment on the machinery Is J.W0. Mr. Perry is willing to sell the ma chinery for $1000, and he asks that ths assessment be reduced to that amount. A number of other complaints were filed, and the Board adjourned until this morning. Sue on Mechanic's Lien. Jack Rankin is suing R. A. Proudfoot and others before Judge Cleland. In the Circuit Court, to recover $1S on- a me chanic's lien. He says that in March, 1907. he lathed and plastered a portion of the hotel at East Burnelde and East Third streets. He says also that Erv Rankin and E. A. Rankin worked upon the build ing and were never paid. Their claims were turned over to the plaintiff. Proud foot, on the other band, asserts that he entered into a contract with E. A. Rankin to lath and plaster the building, but con tends that the work was not finished. He says Erv and Jack Rankin worked under the direction of their father, and that nothing Is due them except from the parent. Enigraarelle Proves a Fine and Dandy Whip. istomttoi la Vaudeville Gsldea Ceara aad Pour Through Busy Dowatowa CUT Streets. AVERT fine and fancy whip Is that Enlgmarelle thing that Is being exhibited at the Grand thia week, and it is a pity that it was not allowed to enter the tooling events of the recent Horse Show. Had It participated, blue ribbons might have been its very own. It was announced by ths management that yesterday at noon the wonderful electrical manikin would drive a tally ho from the stage entrance of the Grand Theater around the principal streets of the city for the edification of the curious multitude. There were many of the skeptical ones who doubt ed If there would really be an attempt to "pull off" the affair. "It can't do It. and Its simply anothar of those press agent stunts." said the doubters, but all the same there was a crowd In front of the stage entrance of the Grand at the appointed hour which almost blocked Seventh street. They saw a smart-looking tallyho with Its four spirited horses awaiting the me chanical marvel, but they still refused to believe. Finally, when the blonde haired, radiantly garbed Enlgmarelle was discovered descending the Incline from the stage door there was a gasp of astonishment from the awaiting crowd. Some of the spectators said: "There's a little man Inside of it. See how tall It Is." "Of course there's someone Inside of It or It couldn t move like that." These are a few of the comments that were heard. After Investigating the matter of this man-created man and having seen how scientifically simple Is Its construction, the Idea that It Is a fake seems ridiculous. When Enlgmarelle was finally assisted onto the box seat, the lines which controlled the four fiery untamed steeds count 'em, four were strapped to the wooden hands of the manikin, a trumpeter on the rear seat sounded a note or two and the sensational drive was on. Down Washington, up Alder on to Morrison, and In fact before the tour was over most of the Important downtown streets had been traversed. Not a single mishap marred the drive, and to all intents and purposes the man with the lines might have been the most experienced Jehu In town. The mechanism worked perfectly and Enlgmarelle was absolutely unassisted during the entire course of the drive. As an unique demonstration It has never been duplicated here and was well worth all the attention It attract ed. It clearly demonstrated that the Invention is capable of doing all that Is claimed for It and added very ma terially to the Interest the public feels In Its appearance at the Grand during the present week. BID FOR COUNTY ACREAGE George X. Strong Makes Best Offer for John Barnes Tract. Eight bids for the John Barnes tract of 48 acres were received by the County Commissioners, and opened yes terday morning. George M. Strong of fered to pay $100 an acre. This was the highest bid made, and It Is likely that It will be accepted. Other bids were: John Freesell, $61 an acre, total $2928: I. Dautoff, $85 an acre for ten acres: S- M. Leonard, $316S for the tract: George Anderson, $40 and $35 an acre for a five-acre .tract; Lou Jones. $56.50 and $51.50 an acre for each of" two five-acre tracts; William M. Coplan. the same; Alfred Brunner, $110 for 15 acres. The land In question Is located at the Intersection of the Troutdale branch of the O. W. P. with the Base Line Road. W. 8. Chapman has filed suit In the Circuit Court over the land, saying that the county broke its contract with John Barnes In not keeping hlra at the County Hospital, and that hence the land is not the county's property, but belongs to Chapman on account of a deed he obtained from Jacob Barnes, John Barnes" heir. The county will give a warranty deed o the purchaser of the tract, thereby protecting him. In the Congo the extravagance of ths average white rasn ts astounding. Cham pagne is the invariable order of the day for men getting a few hundred dollars a year, and the official usually lands in Antwerp after three years with enough money for a spree, when he must sign and go back.

THEN, HE DOESN'T HAVE TO Sage of Democracy Makes Sundry Remarks on Current Issues and Laments Passing of Old Order In Party Camp. Since the last curtain was rung down on the late Pat Powers. General Kill feather has led a life sequestered from political scenes. But yesterday, for 'a few brief minutes, he came forth Into the political spotlight again, as for a short skit between the Illustrated song and the vltascope. It was the same Gen eral, spattered with the mortar of his trade, for he has been building a brick wall for President Josselyn's car barn on Savler street. "Why don't Chamberlain take the stump fr Bryan?" he responded to a question on that point, with the wonted flavor of the Emerald Isle In his words. "Well, sor, he stands fr state rights, the Gov'nor does. He thinks 46 votes in the Oregon Leigslature is worth a whole lot more than half of 14,000,000 in the Na tion. But he's on the wrong track when he' don't help Bryan. Hasn't he got 61 fellows in the Legislature tied up with the people? He'd talk fr Bryan If he was Gov'nor of Mississippi. Sure he would. "Who are those Republicans tied up with the people?" asked the General, seeking information. Says Bryan lias Cinch. "One of "em's Doc Davis," ventured i somebody, "and " "Is that so?" answered the General, In that suspicious tone of voice character istic of the Cejtic race. "But, say," he went on, "Bryan's going to be elected. It's a cinch. He's going to carry Oregon, it's a cinch. But did you ever see a bunch of stiffs as Is runnin' the cam paign? They wanted some money, but I'm going to see first what they get from the Standard Oil. There's Alex Swick what do you think Bryan'll do fr Him?" "Maybe he'll be forgotten," said some body. "If Tie Is, you ring me up," commented the General. "Then there's Milt Miller, who don't do nothin' but stand round and pick his teeth, and John Ryan, who shoos away the tiles. But Bryan's got a cinch. Don't Billy Bristle say so? You know he's the fellow what Heney fired. I heard him In the car this morning. Then I looks out of the window end I sees Mayor Lane. He's the guy that's sending the girls from the North End up to the swell part of town where I live, to those nice flats with the Corinthian columns." "What's to be done with them. Gen eral?" was asked. The seer of Democ racy studied a moment and answered: "That's what the brainiest and heaviest men never have been able to find out." Minto and the Postofflce. "Have you heard about the postof flce 7" asked the General, again switch ing the conversation. "Somebody's got away with the cash, while Mlnto was sittln' and lookln' out the window. Minto's a rosebud, sure he Is. Maybe Chamberlain won't get him fired. He and the Governor is 32d degree Masons, but that ain't nothin' to do with poli tics." "Have you heard what John Manning Is going to get from Bryan? He'll be Prosecuting Attorney and put the lid on Cameron. John says he don't want It. I don't blame him; he's got enough already." "Have vou been up to see the Demo cratic Headquarters? They ain't nothin' doin'. All the Inspiration they get is from Van Armitage and he's sent Versteeg back to making bricks. Me frind Malley's gone off to play with Hlsgame and Hearst. Ream, he's registered as a Republican. Ah, things Is in a bad way. And Cake's gone off somewhare. Sure and we're hard up fr politics." Whereupon Pat Powers' friend was sad. Surely things have changed since the busy days of Pat. Finally, the General's face grew happy. "The Interests is supportin' Bryan." he declared triumphantly. At once the audience was very tense. "The interests Is going to do up Taft this time" he explained, "and Bryan next time. Then they'll elect the President, and sell some bonds.

HE PL.AXS ROUSIXG FINISH Secretary McArthur to End Cam paign in Blaze of Glory. Further plans for a rousing finish of the campaign in' this state were consid ered at a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Republican State Central Committee at Republican headquarters yesterday. Reports from every section of the state were canvassed, giving the committee greater encouragement for a plurality for Taft exceeding the conserv ative estimates that have been made. After the conference Secretary MoAr thur announced that it had been decided to have Congressman W. E. Humphrey, of Washington, deliver two addresses In this state next week. The first meeting will be held In this city Monday night, but the place of meeting has not been arranged. It will be announced later this week. Tuesday night Congressman Humphrey will address the voters of Salem and vicinity,, where elaborate ar rangements are being made for what will prove probably the only big rally of the campaign that will be held there. Tomorrow night A. W. Lafferty wiU discuss thepolitlcal Issues of the cam paign at Gresham and the following night Allen R. Joy will deliver a politi cal address at Troutdale. Secretary McArthur is completing arangements for a vigorous campaign in every county of the state for the concluding week. A large number of speakers will be sent out. He also has arranged to have the headquarters In the Chamber of Com merce building open every night and those desiring to procure literature or campaign buttons are invited to call and have their wants supplied. AID SOCIETY IN SESSION Resignation of Visiting Agent Is -Acted Upon. The regular monthly meeting of che Boys' and Girls' Aid Society was held yesterday afternoon In the chambers of Judge Gilbert, when there were present Judge Williams, Dr. T. L. Eliot, Mrs. Levi White. Mrs. C R. Templeton, Mrs. A. G. Barker, Mrs. J. A. Sladen, Mrs. H. H. Northup and Superintendent Gardner. Routine business was taken up and the report 'of the Superintendent for the month of September was read, showing there had been few movements of chllren during the month on account of an epidemic of whooping cough. The Receiving Home Is now released from quarantine and the management is again allowed to receive children from outside counties. Current bills for the month of September, amounting to $734.87, were ordered paid. Superintendent Gardner advised the Board formally of the resignation of Mr. John Teuscher. Jr., the . visiting agent of the society, he having been appointed to the post of chief proba-' cion officer of the Juvenile Court. The Board instructed the secretary to ex press regrets to Mr. Teuscher In his having to leave the employ of the so ciety. , The matter of a playhouse for the boys was discussed and the executive committee, in conjunction with the su perintendent, were empowered to act in the matter. The superintendent ex plained that he had placed two agents on the road temporarily to visit wards out in family homes. Some of the copies of the annual report of the sec retary of the society were distributed, having juBt arrived from the printers, and copies will be gladly sent to any person requiring them. ABERDEEN GETS CONSUL Grays Harbor Needs British Repre sentative to Care for Things. ABERDEEN". Wash., Oct. 21. (Spe clal5 A. R. Alexander, British Consul at Tacoma, came to Aberdeen today to ap point a vice-consul for Grays Harbor. With this selection nearly every impor tant European power will have a repre sentative at this port. Mr. Alexander has been sent here by the British Government to name a con sul because of the growing Interests of Great Britain by reason of the line of tramp steamships that now make this port. It has been found that complaints have gone out from Grays Harbor in regard to matters concerning the load ing of British steamships and from sail ors on minor matters which a local con sul could easily straighten out and in consequence it has been considered ad visable to place a vice-consul here. Returns Two Indictments. The October grand jury, returned two more indictments yesterday morning. One of these implicates two men in an assault with a revolver on Peter Bus and John Carlson. Edward Christopher and Elmer Parseley are the men accused of this crime. Merle West is charged with rob bing Ertck Huaeby at the point of a re volver on October 3.

HOT FIGHT IN NEW YORK Congressman on Visit to Portland Declares That Bryan's Election Is Assured If Democrats Car ry the Empire State. "It will be possible for Taft to be elect ed only if he receives the floating vote of the country," declared Congressman Rich mond Pearson Hobson at the Portland Commercial Club yesterday. "In fact, re gardless of that consideration, Bryan's election is assured If he should carry the State of New York. Bryan's chances In the Empire State are good and It is there that the campaign will be waged with Intense earnestness by both parties during the concluding days of the campaign." Congressman Hobson reached this city yesterday afternoon from Pendleton where the preceding afternoon he ad dressed an audience of voters. Last night he spoke at Oregon City and this after noon he will deliver an address at Astoria leaving tonight for Eugene and Southern Oregon points where he will spend the re mainder of the week. Leaving Oregon the Alabama Congressman will go into California where he will spend the last week of the campaign stumping the state in the interest of Bryan and Kern. "During my Chautauqua lectures through the states of the Middle West last Summer, I satisfied myself that in the November Presidential election there would be a deflection of between 15 and 18 per cent of the Republican voters of those states to the Democratic ticket," said Congressman Hobson in discussing the situation. "That will be sufficient to restore Missouri to the Democratic col umn and to make the result in Nebraska and other adjoining states extremely close. "A recent poll in Indiana insures that slate for Bryan. The result in Ohio will be close. In the latter utate the great majority of the negro vote, will be tast for Bryan and there is no question but that considerable of the Foraker strength will go to the Nebraskan. "There is not the remotest probability that Taft will Invade the South. The Republicans are making a vigorous fight in Tennessee where they expect to accom plish the election of a number of Con gressmen, ' but the Democrats are certain to carry the state for the National ticket and it is Improbable that they will lose any of the Congressional districts. "It Is impossible to make any reliable prediction of the result of the election. There are various situations to be consid ered. Principal among these, of course, is the Independent and floating vote. The time has gone when professional politi cians are able to forecast how this class of citizens will vote. They practically hold the balance of power. As to the vote of organized labor there is no question but that it will be two to one for Bryan. "The Socialists are not especially to be feared. I consider that there is a limita tion of strength for them to attain and, having attained that position, they will cease to Increase either in numbers or in influence. The farmers of the country also have come to be a factor In the elec tion, more so, perhaps, than ever before. In the election this year they will be found to be more equally distributed be tween the Republican and Democratic parties In the election of President than ever before." COW GORES HIS HORSE Tacoma Mounted Policeman Has Narrow Escape From Death. TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 21. (Special.) With his 1200-pound horse lying across his abdomen where It had been thrown after being gored by a maddened cow. Mounted Patrolman J. C. Williasas narrowly es caped death today. "I was awakened by a neighbor, who said a cow and a calf were eating his fruit trees," said Patrolman Williams. "I got up and saddled the horse and after roping the cow started to take her to ths pound. Just as we passed in front of my home the calf butted against the eow and she hooked my horse, running her horn into the horse's body. The horse began to buck and entangled the rope about me and I was unable to jump. . The horse, overcome by pain and the goading horns that were digging into his flanks, fell. "The sight or smell of the blood seemed to madden the cow and she tried again and again to prod her horns into my body, but could not reach me and I finally worked myself free."

Widely Bestowed Charity That Should Appeal to Portland House wives With a Lilttle to Spare. The Needlework Guild of America, a branch of which has been quietly at work in this city for several years, will hold its annual distribution of gar ments at the-Unitarian Chapel Novem ber 11. The methods pursued by this organization are distinctively its own; Its requirements are simple and to the point. Briefly, each member is re quired to furnish each year to the dis trlbutlng points designated, twPneff garments, complete and ready to wear. These garments cover the whole range of clothing needs from little slips and socks for the new-born babe in- the home of poverty, to warm vests and stockings for the aged poor; from the mittens and undergarments for shiv ering school children whose parents are unable to provide these necessary gar ments, to the warm socks for the old grandfathers and the kitchen aprons for the little girls, learning to wash the dishes. Passing beyond individual needs that are first supplied from lists furnished by members or others cognizant of the most pressing needs of the poor, it is the province of this guild to supple ment, as far as lies in its power, the more pressing needs of hospitals and charitable institutions. Upon this list In this city, besides the hospitals, are the Children's Home, the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, the Baby Home, the Florence Crittendon Home, Refuge Home, the poor farm and perhaps some others. It is felt by the officers of the guild that if the methods and purposes of the work were well understood the con tributions of clothing instead of being less than 1700 pieces, as now fore shadowed, would be at least as many thousand. The charity is carefully discriminat ing and is applied directly to the needy. Every house-mother, the lines of whose life run in ways of thrift and plenty, can spare from her store or supply by her endeavor two simple garments to be placed where they will do the most good by the careful dls. pensers of this bounty, while ths .I.- r . m i XTnnit River.

EARLY RETURNS PROBABLE Election Result In Portland Should Be Known Promptly. If the Judges and clerks of election are even average announcers and markers the result of the vote in the Presidential balloting in Portland will be known with in a few hours after the closing of the polls. "As only four names will have to be called and counted on the ticket voted. I believe the result in a majority of ths precincts, or a sufficient number of votes to show how the precincts are going, will be given to the public by S o'clock in the evening of the day of election," said County Clerk Fields yesterday. "The count of the full vote of the larger pre cincts in the city and most of those out side will report before midnight. But we shall certainly know bow the city voted by o'clock, and we shall be able to tell how most of the outside precincts went by midnight at the latest." Mr. Fields' belief that the result will be known by 9 o'clock is based upon the work of the judges and clerks. Accept ing fast work in the past as a standard, he says four ballots should be marked each minute, and the count made in the smaller precincts within two hours. In the larger precincts, such as No. 8, on the West Side, and Nos. 69 and 84. on the East Side, which will cast more than 600 votes each, the time will be longer. Nos. 69 and 84 have a registration of about Too each, but it is not believed that either will cast more than 550 votes. No. 8 cast about 6o0 at the last county election, and 400 of them were for Mr. Fields. Thia was the largest vote ever cast for a candidate by any precinct In the county.

RATIONAL CURE FOR ECZEMA No More Dosing the Stomach Care 1 the Skin Through the Skis. t When you have a scratch on your hand you wash it out and cleanse It and then the .kin cures itself.
