FIGHTS VALUATION
Assessment of Oregon & Cal
ifornia Railroad Property
Declared Too High.
EQUALIZATION WORK BEGUN
County Board IToIds First Meeting
to Consider Protests, and Rail
way Complaint Occupies
the Day.
The County Board of Equalization
hold its first sessions yesterday morn
ing and aiternoon. Tne first case to
be taken up was that of the Oregon
& California Railroad Company, a rart
of the Southern Pacific system. In
which objection Is made to the assess
ment hy .Assessor Sigler of the right
of way and rolling stock of the Kast
Si.ie division at :8,oo0 a mile, and of
the West Side division at r:,00 a
mile. The company also objects to
the assessment of its unsold Federal
crant lands In this county at $27.38
an acre, asking that this assessment,
he reduced to $4 an acre.
James W. Morrow, tax and right of
wny agent for the company, appeared
before the hoard to tell why the whole
sale reduction In assessments should
be made. Although the petition of
the railway company asks that the
East Side division be assessed at $20.
ooo a mile, and that the West Side di
vision be valued at $Sn(iO a mile. Mor
row said he would be satisfied If the
assessment of $22,000 for the West
Side division be left as It Is. and that
of the Kast Side division be reduced
to $33,000, what It was last year. The
assessment on the West Side division
is the same that it was last year. It
was after Morrow learned this, and
that the assessment of tho East Side
line was only raised $5000. that he made
the last proposition to the board.
Morrow was obliged to admit-to As
sessor Sigler that testimony was Kiven
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission several days ogo to the effect
that the O. R. & X. Company's holdings
are worth $63,000 a mile, and that new
tracks were laid on the East Side di
vision in this county, making that line
more valuable than It was last year.
Morrow hastened to explain, however,
that the $65,000 figure named before
the commission included the terminals
and station houses of the O. R- &'N.
as well as the trackage.
The tax and right of way agent also
made the statement that the earnings
of the Southern Pacific have fallen off
this year. "The branch lines do not
more than pay expenses," he said.
"They are only feeders for the main
line. The Southern Pacific Is only a
. passenger line anyway."
Morrow went on to say that he did
not wish to criticise Assessor Sigler.
but that he believed Multnomah Coun
ty property Is assessed at not more
than half its actual value. He thought
discrimination should not be shown
against the railway corporation.
Timber cruisers who went over the
property near that of the railroad com
pany, on which a reduction to $4 an
acre is asked, told the members of
the Equalization Board yesterday
morning that on one section they found
60.000,000 feet of timber, some of It
worth $3 a thousand feet, or $150,000
a square mile, which would be $234
an acre. On much of the land they
found less timber than this, however.
A representative of the Bridal Veil
Lumber Company made the assertion
at yesterday afternoon's session of
the board that the lumber company
failed to make a profit last year be
cause of the low price of lumber. He
thought the railroad company's stand
ing timber worth about $1 a thousand
feet.

FREIGHT DEPOT IS WANTED
Kast Side Tries to Make Handing
Condition or Granting Franchise.
The East Bide Bnslness Men's Club la
circulating a petition to the Mayor and
City Cpuncll asking that an amendment
be made to the East Third street fran
chise, which will require the O. R. & N.
Company to erect a suitable freight
depot south of East Burnslde street at
some point in the warehouse district. The
club petitioned the street committeo to
recommend that such a provision be in
serted, but it was ignored, and the peti
tion will be submitted direct to the Mayor
and Council. ,
At the time General Manager O Brlen
agreed to provide the passenger depot he
aiso Bald he would investigate the request
for this freight depot, although he con
tended that Buch depot was not yet need
ed. However, he did not say that a
freight depot would be provided when
needed.
C A. Blgelow, president of the club. In
a recent Interview with leading whole
sale firms on the East Side, ascertained
that they are very anxious that a freight
depot be provided, in order to do away
with the present delays and difficulties
they say they are now experiencing In
shipping and receiving through the West
Side depot. The franchise is now in the
hands of the Mayor and Executive Com
mittee for valuation, and the club hopes
to have the erection of this freight depot
made the condition of granting the fran
chise in place of a" money consideration.
REPLY 10 PRIEST HIDE
PR. BROUGIIER SATS FATHER
O'lIAKA GOT "KEI-HEADEr."
Minister Would Have Public Com
pare Sermon and Answer Mud
Slinging Is Denied.
TORTLAND. Oct. 27. (To the Editor.)
If you had the space. I would ask you
to print my entire sermon of last Sun
dav morning, alongside of the effusion of
Father OHara. which you printed
Wednesdav morning. I would like to
have the people of Portland compare tho
spirit and language of the two. They
would be able, then, to Judge as to which
one showed the courteous Christian spirit,
and which one got -red-headed," lost his
temper, used violent language, slung mud
and mado A "contemptible poltroon" of
himself. There were Catholics in my
church Sunday morning, and they, as
well as the rest of my congregation, know
that I made no attack on the Catholic
Church, as such, and indulged in no mud
sllnglng at anyone.
Father O'Hara Is evidently very
"touchy." It does not take very much
to excite him, and he went off "half
cocked." But his calling me names does
not change the facts. 'and will not be
mistaken by the public for argument. Ac
cording to the latest statistics, up until
1SS5 90 per cent of our immigration came
from Great Hritnin. Germany and Scan
dinavian countries. Eighty per cent of
those who came spoke the English lan
guage. If the majority of our immi
grants, today, were from these three
branches of the race, they would be the
strength and hope of our country- Usual
ly they would be our equals, and often
our superiors. But our present immigra
tion, for the mnet part, is not of that
character." Our commissioners of Immi
gration report l.lOo.O) to have come to
this country last year. Less than 10 per
cent of that number eould speak the Eng
lish language; 240.000, above the age of 14.
could not read or write any language.
Less than 2" per cent came from Great
Britain, Germany and Scandinavian coun
tries. Where did the other 80 per cent
come from? They came from Southern
Italy, from Spain, from France, from
Russia, and by their very illiteracy
show that they came from the lower ele
ments of these countries. Of course, a
majority of them came from Roman
Catholic countries. The Roman Catholic
Church has " had full sway In some
of these European countries for 'cen
turies. Any student of history knows
how far religious liberty and popular edu
cation have prevailed In these countries.
Spain, Italy, Cuba and the Philippines
are notable examples.
Father O'Hara's Idea seems to be that
If an Immigrant comes from a Roman
Catholic country he is fit to be an Ameri-
can citizen, without any change In his '
Ideas of life or government. It doesn't
make any difference whether he can
speak the English language, or read and
write any language at all, if he fs from
a Roman Catholic country, then he Is
qualified to be an American citizen at
once. Personally, I do not think he Is.
I think that the thousands of ignorant,
illiterate foreigners who come here from
tiie lowest classes of European countries
need to have a change of heart and life,
and a great deal of education before they
are fitted to be American citizens. If
Father O'FIara does not agree with me
in this conviction, he is certainly free to
have hia own opinion, and to express it;
but "foaming at the mouth" and calling
me a "contemptible poltroon" would seem
to indicate that Father O'Hara's ideas of
religious liberty harmonized pretty fully
with the views held on that subject in
Spain, Italy. France and other so-called
Roman Catholic countries. But let us
thank God that the majority of Ameri
cans do not hold such convictions.
I am In favor of these foreigners com
ing, but I believe, if we are to maintain
our ideas of government and religious
liberty, every denomination In the United
States must do Its part to evangelize and
educate these people. The Protestant
churches of America are doing ns much
for the social uplift of these people as
the Roman Catholic Church is doing.
Father O'Hara's bragging on this line is
only in harmony with the "buncombe" of
the rest of his article; I can't compete
with him when it comes to that. His en
tire article was a misrepresentation of
the spirit and facts of my sermon. I
merely suggest that the next time he pre
pares an article for publication, he sit
down and cool off, and stick to the facts

States Courtroom In this city, November
16 and 17. The committee on arrange
ments Is making extensive preparations
to make this the most largely attended

programme is being prepared and that
the membership of the association Is now

Council Provides License of $1200
Yearly, but Does Not Remedy tho
Evils Cited and Does Xot
Regulate the Number.
Mayor Simon yesterday morning won
his fight for the abolition of Saturday
half holidays for city employes, the
Council paslng the amendment as re
quested by him 8 to t. This will make
It possible for the public to transact
business at the City Hall all day in
stead of up to 1. P. M. Saturdays. Hun
dreds of people every month call there
at all hours Saturday afternoons and
are unable to gain entrance into any of
the offices save the record room of the
City Auditor. This, in the opinion of
Mayor Simon, Is wrong, and he accord
ingly asked that the change be made.
The Council two weeks ago refused to
adopt the amendment, but the Mayor
persisted.
The proposed franchise soughtby the
O. R. & N. on East Third street was
referred to the Executive Board for
valuation, as provided In the charter.
Councilman Cellars objected to the ac
tion, contending that there should be
an amendment that would prohibit the
use of the tracks there for yardage, and
fix the time limit for which cars might
be left, but it was not Incorporated.
An ordinance regulating the placing
of bill boards, as to height and manner
of construction, was passed. It pro
vides for a license of $1200 a year, but
does not at all remedy the evils re
cently mentioned by Mayor Simon, and
does not regulate the number of these
boards or their general appearance.
By the terms of an ordinance, Intro
duced by Mr. Ellis, the license fee for
hawking fruits, etc.. In the district
bounded by the river, Fourteenth street,
Burnslde and- Taylor streets. Is $600 a
year, Instead of $200 as heretofore.
This, it is believed, will drive out many
of those engaged In the business, and
will consequently clear the downtown
streets of much of the present conjes
tion. The ordinance was opposed by
Councilmen Belding, Concannon and
Drlscoll, but meets with the approval
of Mayor Simon.
Mr. Cellars introduced his new codi
fication of the liquor laws, which was
published In outline In The Oregonian
Tuesday, and it was referred to the
liquor-license committee. It proposes
to eliminate "back-room" eating
houses, adjuncts to saloons and free
lunches and vigorously regulates the
entire liquor business.
By an ordinance Introduced by Mr.
Lombard: a type of gas and electrio
lamp-posts was adopted, and these de
signs must be used in the fire limits on
the West Side. Another ordinance will
be prepared to cover a cheaper
post for the East-Side districts, at the
request of the business men there.
A resolution was adopted, taking over
Macadam street. South Portland, and
making of it a city street. This was
done through the efforts of Mr. Lom
bard, who was opposed by Mr. Belding.
Mr. Lombard declared that, at present
as for years, the thoroughfare has been
In such condition as to be a disgrace
to the city and said It should be im
proved with a hard surface.
Mr. Lombard asked for and was
granted a leave of absence for 30 days,
in which to make a trip through the
East, during which time he will act as
the agent of the Board of Health in
gathering data for the construction of
a garbage crematory here.
WILL APPEAL TO PUBLIC
ROSE FESTIVAL- ASSOCIATION
PLAXS LARGER SCOPE.
Great Celebration, That Will Attract
Many People and Much Outside
Money, to Be Held.
General appeal to the public to sup
port the Rose Festival is to be made by
the management on the ground that such
civic entertainments bring an enormous
amount of money into Portland through
innumerable channels of trade. This
was 'the announcement made by Presi
dent Hoyt last night as the result of
conferences he held with the business
men of San Francisco who had charge
of the Portola Festival, together with a
checking up of estimates of the extra
volume of business done here during
former Rose Festivals.
"We expect to rest our case on that
plea exclusively." said Mr. Hoyt. "The
Portola promoters informed me before I
left San Francisco that $5,000,000 was
a conservative estimate of the amount
of money put into circulation in the Bay
City during the five days' celebration
last week. I notice that the San Francis
co papers figure that the amount was
that or larger and they have begun a
campaign to celebrate this occasion each
year.
"While there is more or less of sen
timent attached to a Rose Festival where
the floral idea Is predominant, we are
going to present our efforts to the pub
lic as a hard-headed business proposition
in which we look for sure returns, look
for interest on an Investment Just as
we do in our own affairs. We have
started our campaign for a fund of $100,-
000 to give the fourth annual Festival
next June. If we secure this sum we
are in duty bound to make a satisfactory
showing to the people who put up the
money. This will come through the
bringing of thousands of visitors to our
city and through the Nation-wide adver
tising which our celebrations are giv
ing us. In San Francisco, Portland's
Rose Festival is publicly recognized In
the newspapers as one of the conspicu
ous festivals of the United States, ac
knowledged as such and as taking rank
with the Mardi Gras of New Orleans,
the Portola and one or two others.
"Our work for the 1910 Festival has
just begun. In another week or perhaps
sooner we will get down to business. If
San Francisco is able to secure $5,000,000
worth of business through its celebration,
1 see no reason why the Portland Rose
Festival will not be able to pour hair
that much or more Into the coffers of
our hotels, restaurants, merchants, banks
and other institutions."
A majority of the ways and means
committee composed of leading men in
all business and professional lines have
accepted the invitation to serve. Details
of the financial canvass will be worked
out and applied by President Hoyt and
this committee.

TWO PORTLAND ERS WERE OFFI
CERS IX IXDIAN WARS.
Reserve Street to Be Closed.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Oct. 27. (Spe
cial.) The quartermaster's department
served notice today ' that Reserve
C. E. S. Wood and Colonel James
Jackson Land General Whose
Death Occurred Tuesday.
Two well-known Portlanders served as
officers under Major-General Oliver O.
Howard, United States Army, the vet
eran Indian fighter and Union command
er, whose death occurred at Burlington,
Vt Tuesday night. C. E. S. Wood was
a First Lieutenant on General Howard's
command during the Indian campaigns,
while Colonel James Jackson commanded
Troop B, First United States Cavalry,
which was a part of General Howard's
command in the famous pursuit of Chief
Joseph.
Both officers pay high tribute to the
memory of the General. Mr. Wood, as
a staff officer, had every opportunity to
know the real facts of the Nez Perces
campaign and he took occasion yesterday
to correct several erroneous Impressions
which he says got abroad in the early
days concerning the chase of the Nez
Perces.
"General Howard's courage was of the
highest quality and has never been called
into question," said Mr. Wood, "but
there were some uncalled-for accounts In
the New York papers during the ' cam
paign, based on the fact that General
Howard was a sincere Christian gentle
man. There were Jocular accounts of
how he would pause to hold prayer meet
ings every time he got within sight of the
enemy. During the whole pursuit of
Chief Joseph, there was but one halt on
Sunday and that was after the battle of
Clearwater when It was necessary to
pause and care for the wounded.
"General Howard was relentless In his
pursuit of the Indians," continued Mr.
Wood, "and it was due to him that an
end was put to Indian campaigns for all
time. After the Bannocks had been rout
ed and punished in 1878 the Indians real
ized .once for all that there was no hope
of successful warfare against the white
man.
"General Howard was a man of lovable
nature and dauntless courage, and a com
mander of great ability. In the battle of
Clearwater he exposed himself fearlessly
In directing his troops. In his pursuit of
Joseph his troops were mainly Infantry.
It was a most remarkable pursuit the
most remarkable Infantry pursuit in his
tory. The Indians had bands of horses,
but General Howard overtook them and
engaged them in action.
"As to the attack on the Indians by
General Miles when the final surrender
was effected, I wrote the order myself
for General Miles to take the diagonal
line and work in on the Indians. Only
the presence' of General Howard made
possible the surrender that followed."
Colonel Jackson, with his troop of cav
alry, went to General Howard's support
with provisions and a packtrain when the
supplies of the command were in a low
state at Cottonwood Creek, in 1S77. Ho
remained with his troop thereafter in the
chase.
"It was a hard chase," said Colonel
Jackson, "and General Howard kept vig
orously after the Indians. He had the
reputation of being a great fighter and a
man of courage. But there was very lit
tle hard fighting in the pursuit of the
Nea Perces fugitives and we saw no
marked battles. General Howard . kept
after the Indians through Yellowstone
Park and on up nearly to the Missouri
River. He was then in command of the
Department of the Columbia."

The Growth of the Port of Portland
Twenty years ago the average cargo of the wheat carriers clearing from this port
was 55,752 bushels; ten years ago it was 110,071 bushels per cargo. During the pres
ent month 10 vessels have already cleared, carrying 1,339,399 bushels that being an
average of 133,939 bushels, or 4000 tons per ship.
Twenty years ago the small vessels of that period often experienced difficulties
in reaching the sea; but with the improvements made at the mouth of the Columbia
River and in the river itself, the mammoth freighters of today, with cargoes of 6000
to 8000 tons each, go through without delay.
This condition has been brought about largely by the efforts and the money of
the people "of Portland. It has been instrumental in making a radical reduction in
the charter rates, and has resulted in a direct benefit to all the farmers in the three
Northwestern states.
The burden of giving these states the advantage of a free outlet at the foot of a
water-level haul to the worldB markets has rested practically with Portland, and
Portland will derive the greater part of the resulting benefits. With this outlet to
the markets of the world established, and with the North Bank road, the Oregon
Trunk line and the North Coast and the other railroads, with their innumerable feed
ers, now building to open np the country behind Portland, we may confidently look for
ward to a more rapid growth in population and commerce than this city has ever
known before.
The population of Portland has doubled in the last six years. It will double again
in six years more, and the value of all the property within the city limits will more
than double in the same period. In fact it would double within one year if it should
advance to the prices which obtain in other Pacific Coast cities. Consequently, Port
land offers greater advantages to investors than any other western city.
The Addition with Character
Is an example of the low-priced, high-class property in Portland. Today, it is Belling1
at just about one-half its actual value. It will sell at its true value within a year,
because the improvements in progress will make it the most desirable property on the
East Side.
If you want a good home or a good investment, GO AND SEE LAURELHURST
AND BUY one or more of those lots in the middle of- the addition at $850 each,
and you will have the best you can get at the price in Portland.
To reach LAURELHURST, take either the Montavilla or the Rose City Park cars,
Both lines run through the property.

FOUNDER PLAYS IT SAFE
G. M. Champlln Files With County
Prospectns for New Order.
To prevent any one except himself
from bringing about the organization
of a corporation to be known as the
American Order of Inventors, George
M. Champlln filed with County Cler
Fields yesterday afternoon a pros
pectus which bubbles over with eulogy
for one John J. Luckey. a Hood River
blacksmith. Champlln waxes so elo
quent in writing his prospectus that
he quotes from Grey's Elegy, following
this etfusion by saying that each ap
plicant for membership In the new
order must have 'Invented something,
and must send in $20, along with the
names of his wife and all his children,
or his brothers and sisters. Conclud
ing, he remarks that Luckey's thought
of organizing such an order "almost
invades the home of the Deity itself."
Champlln has taken pains to have
his prospectus sworn to before George
E. Watkins, a notary public, and placed
among the Multnomah County records.

Despair and Despondency
No one but a woman can tell the story of the suffering, the
despair, and the despondency endured by women who carry
a daily burden of ill-health and pain because of disorders and
derangements of the delicate and important organs that are
distinctly feminine. The tortures so bravely endured com
pletely upset the nerves if long continued.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a positive cure for
weakness and disease of the feminine organism.
