COURTS TO DECIDE Question as to Meaning of Dis trict Assessment Law. WHO PAYS FOR MAINS? Extension of Water System Causc9 Complications Because of Xew Plan of Taxing Benefited Property for Improvement. A GREAT SHOWING. A Year's Tteoord Which Is Entitled to Much Consideration. Elsewhere in today's Oregonian will be found 'the published annual statement of January 1. 1909, of the Home Insur ance Company of New York, the lead ing exclusive fire insurance company of the world. The Home Insurance Company Is just ly entitled to the proud distinction It holds, on account of its magnificent rec ord in all the great conflagrations of this country. It was the first to pro claim to the distressed people of San Francisco its intention to pay all valid claims dollar for dollar, regardless of what action others, might take. The Home Insurance Company, not withstanding Its magnificent policy holders' surplus of over $13. 600.000. has established a conflagration fund In which it has placed JSOO.000. It Is the first company to set aside a conflagration re serve, which Is an additional surplus. This company's assets have reached the enormous figures of 124.S5S.499.05, set ting a new mark for fire companies, ren dering the Indemnity It sells as "safe as the rocks of Gibraltar." It is managed In its Pacific Northwest department by Mr. John D. Coleman, general agent,, headquarters 3im Stark street, this cltv. Its local representatives are D. W. Hoelbing & Co., Sllh-, Stark street: Mr. Harvey O' Bryan, McKay building, and Portland Trust Company of Oregon. In Its own building, Third and Oak streets. The public's attention Is called in particular to the company's list of as sets, wherein are Itemized all its secur ities, comprising the best stocks and bonds of the Nation, exhibiting the con- servatlveness of the Home's manage ment In safeguarding the company's funds. Mr. Elbridge G. Snow, president of the Home, has many warm personal friends in this city who will be pleased to learn of the wonderful success of his company. WHEREJTO DINE. All the delicacies of the season at the Portland Restaurant; fine private apart ments for ladles. 3ii6 wash., near Ifth. There appears to be trouble ahead for the city in collecting assessments for water mains under the present system of charging- the costs to "benefited proper ty" abutting the Improvement. A point of law as to what constitutes "benefited" property Is Involved, and It seems at this time that the courts will be called upon to construe this. The first remonstrance to be filed against such an assessment is now in the hands of City Auditor Barbur. It is signed by Attorney R. R. Dunlway, and Is against the six-inch main ordered by the City Council to be laid In East Thirteenth street, between Thompson and Halsey streets. Attorney Duniway bases his remon strance on the fact that the main is to be paid for by the "benefited property," the property abutting the- Improvement, ex tending back 100 feet each way. He de clares .that such a method of assessment for the water main Is absurd; that "any one can see that property for a far great er distance about is benefited," and de mands a larger district to cover the payment. The water main Is but one of many which have been ordered installed by the City Council under the law, passed by the people last June, the provisions of which' direct the City Auditor to assess costs to the "benefited property." It has al ready been found that this Is a very dif ficult method, it being extremely indefi nite as to what Is the property benefited. City Attorney Kavanaugh has realized from the first that this system Is not sat isfactory, and he is endeavorlnr to have some amendments made at the coming election. Mr. Kavanaugh. says that it is a ques tlon that can scarcely be determined, as to Just what property Is benefited by the laying of a water main. It may be ar gued, he says, that the entire commuplty may be, and probably is. benefited by such an extension to the city system, and the indefinite plan now in vogue seems to be In need of amendment, he says. The Charter Board has the matter under con elderatlon, the "committee, on the depart ment of water supply being now engaged In an effort to remedy the defects, and Mr. Kavanaugh having been added to the committee to assist In a legal capacity. The law as it was voted by the people, however. Is in effect and must be fol lowed until another vote can be taken upon It, at least, and much inconvenience, it seems, is likely to result meantime. gather for the long period of C4 years, al ways lovingly and happily. Mrs. Beebe wai a denoted wife, mother and friend, gentle, kind and charitable, ever ready to assist with hand and heart neighbors and those in need of help of any kind and until inca pacitated by age and its attendant weak ness was charitable to extreme generosity, f he was Interested In the material progress of all her acquaintances. Every one who ever knew her was her friend and will la ment her demise. Mrs. Beebe was the. lineal descendant of good old Revolutionary stock and a woman of ardent patriotism and immensely proud that her loved hus band maintained the traditiona of the fam ily during the Civil War. May her tender soul rest easy in Its bed of clay and she in the great beyond receive that reward which her kind and .graceful work on earth merited. The departed lady was a consistent mem ber of the Presbyterian Church all her Ufa. and a devoted worker in every case of church activity for the 33 years she resided in Portland and vicinity. J. J. B. ALICE -IS TOTAL LOSS So Chance of Saving Any Part of Ship or Cargo. ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 18. (Special.) That the French ship Alice is a total loss .with her cargo of cement is now an established fact, and there is no chance of saving any part of her ex cept of what may be washed ashore as wreckage. Edward M. Cherry, Lloyds' agent, and French Vice-Consul Labbe visited the scene on Sunday. The Consul decided to have the captain and crew remain in comfortable quar ters there until arrangements are per fected through the French Consul-Gen- eral at San Francisco and a court of In quiry is ordered. Mr. Cherry has requested Captain Veysey, Lloyds' surveyor, to make survey of the vessel officially, and if his report suggests that she cannot be saved, bids will be asked, probably for the sale of the ship, as well as her cargo. SHANAHAN APOLOGIZES. tt In a Woman's Power at the Star N a Woman's Power," a melo drama in four acts, is the bill this week at the Star. Patrons of this sort of entertainment will find the play quite to their liking, as It con tains several strong scenes and a gen erous share of comedy. Dr. Ellwood Hardlcraft, a respected physician of Washington is implicated with a gang of counterfeiters, one of whom Is a woman. Dr. Hardlcraft has Just been married and is anxious to give up the criminal career of . which nothing is known. Owing to the Hold the woman counterfeiter has upon him he Is fre quently in grave danger of exposure. He Is Induced by her to visit Baltimore where the counterfeiters are at work. The place Is raided by the secret serv ice. Hardlcraft makes his escape and returns to his family, presumably re formed. Pat Garln, as Hon. Tom Fenwlck has an excellent opportunity to show his powers as an Impersonator. As Dickey, a counterfeiter, in a later act, his work is equally good. Dorothy Turner appeared as Laura Parent, an adventuress, and spoke with what was supposed to be a French ac cent. Dorothy Kenyon was Interesting as Bernlce Hardlcraft, the young wife. "In a Woman's Power" will run the remainder of the week and should draw good audiences. Tribute to Mrs. Julia- C. Beebe. PORTLAND, Jan. 18. (To the Editor.)
