Equalization.
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

J.W0. Mr. Perry is willing to sell the ma
chinery for $1000, and he asks that ths
assessment be reduced to that amount.

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.

STUMP STATE?
Because, Well, Just Because

General Killfeather.
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.

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

night Allen R. Joy will deliver a politi
cal address at Troutdale. Secretary

AID SOCIETY IN SESSION
Resignation of Visiting Agent Is

With this selection nearly every impor

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

have gone out from Grays Harbor in
regard to matters concerning the load

consequence it has been considered ad
visable to place a vice-consul here.

H0B50N IS HOPEFUL
Says Taft Must Depend on the
Country's Floating Vote.
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."

HELP TO CLOTHE THE POOH
DISTRIBUTION" OF GARMENTS
BY NEEDLEWORK GUILD.
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.

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. You do
not take blood medicine to cure a fes
tered wound.
The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cur. the
skin is through the skin.
The fact that ecsema is a skin dis
ease and not a blood disease is evident
from statistics which show that nearly
all eczema sufferers are perfectly heal
thy in all other ways except as to
their skin. If the ecsema patients were
really suffering from an inward mal
ady, the entire body and not only the
skin would be diseased.
You can prove Immediately the re
lief of a true skin cure by using oil
of wintergreen as compounded in D.
D. D. Prescription. .
This liquid attacks the disease
germs, numbing them while building
up the healthy tissue of the skin. We
have now handled this meritorious
and thoroughly scientific remedy for
so long and have seen its reliable re
sult so many times that we freely ex
press our confidence.
