Property Owners See Justice of Assessment Increase. KAMM'S ADVANCE HEAVY Figures Show Increase of 82 Per Cent Over Last Year Taxpayer Will Make Complaint Many Visits Made to - Courthouse. "They've been coming in a line all day long to look over those blueprints and register their kicks said B. D. Sigler, County Assessor, "and there haven't been near so many kicks as you might suppose." The Assessor was talking about his new scheme of displaying the assess ments before they are put on the rolls. For this week only they will be open to the public, and Mr. Sigler will meet any taxpayers who care to go to him and talk over the value he has put upon their property. There has been an Increase of from 5 to more than 100 per cent In the valuation of Portland property on the West Side, and the Assessor, at in finite abor, has marked In plain figures, where all who may wish may see, the value of each parcel of land on the West Side from the river on the east to the crest of the hills on the west, and from the Otruthers line on the south to the North Pacific mill on the north. Few Complain of Advance. ""In spite of the advance I have made in the value of the .property," he con tinued, "people look at -the values about their own land and remark that It seems to be a. consistent Increase, and that is the end of It. Of course, where any body can show me that I have made an unjust assessment, I am perfectly will ing to change the figures, but as a gen eral rule people seem satisfied. "I want it understood that people may feel free to come to this office and talk over' their assessments," continued the Assessor. "Above all else I do not want to appear an arbitrary official, who car ries things highhandedly. I want to be fair to all, and this is the only method I can think of by which everybody can have a voice in his assessment. "After this week the figures will go on the rolls. Just as they stand, and any changes, that are not made before then must be ordered by the Board of Equali zation. It was to save the board much trouble that I offered a chance for pro tests now. I am glad that so many have taken advantage of the opporunity." The increase falls heavily on some of the larger property owners of Portland. Jacob Kamm is the victim of one of the greatest Increases made. Last year his property on Fourteenth street, more than a block and a half, was assessed at $173. 000. This year it is held at $315,000, an Increase of $142,000, or 82 per cent. "It's getting to cost too much for me to live around here," said Mr. Kamm. "I guess we'll have to move out Into the woods. If some of the small property owners in this part of town are hit as hard proportionately as I am, they'll have to sell out and go." Mr. Kamm plans to make a protest to the Assessor on his advance.

COLLIER TO STAR IN FARCE HE HELPED MAKE Comedian Will Desert Frohman to Cast Fortune With Lew Field Expects to Have Theater of His Own. W II .1.1 AM COLLIER, comedian and sometime editor of Collier's Irra tional Weakly, will not sail under the Frohman colors next season. In an interview with the noted actor at the Bungalow last evening, where he is pre senting the farce, "A Lucky Star," Mr. Collier said that when he closes his en gagement in Spokane the last of this month in his present play, his working days under Mr. Frohroan's man agement will he over. "I am not at liberty to make my plans entirely public, but this I may say, that I shall next season be under the man agement of Lew Fields and that I shall appear in a farce which is the collab orated work of Edgar Belwyn and my self. The play is not yet finished, fh fact, we have been at work at it only a little over a month. . At present Mr. Selwynis in Los Angeles, where he is trying .out one of his plays in which Richard Bennett will appear next sea son." Mr. Bennett was Maude Adams' lead ing, man until that actress reached San Francisco, when he left her company and went into stock productions in Los An geles', his opening play being "Heir to the Plains," another of Mr. Selwyn's plays. Also interesting In this connec tion is the fact that Edgar 'Belwyn is the husband of Margaret Mayo, a former Portland girl who is now one of the best known playwrights and whose recent suc cesses include "Polly jt the Circus" and "Baby Mine." the, latter of which is now taking Chicago by. storm. In answer to a query regarding the name of his new play, Mr. Collier was reticent. "We haven't really decided on that." he said, "and probably will not consider It at all until Mr. Selwyn and I meet in Denver. That will be on the 7th of August, when I open a four-week engagement in stock at Elltche's Gardens. "Until that time we will have no chance to confer relative to a name suitable to the play. I can tell you nothing con cerning the play itself, other than that it Is a farce, and entirely different in treatment from anything in which I have previously appeared." During Mr. Collier's engagement in Denver he will present two of his former successes, "Caught In the Rain" and "The Man from Mexico," and also try out the new play. He will also appear In the title role of "Brewster's Millions." Later he will leave for New York to con fer with his new manager.

Mr. Fields Is at present breaking theatrical Summer records in New York with his musical comedy, "The Summer Widow ers," which is having a surprising run during the heated season. Under Mr. Fields' management Mr. Collier will next season have a theater of his own on Broadway. "There are still many things to be settled and many arrangements made and while most of the plana are virtually settled, still, since Mr. Frohman is now in Europe, and our arrangements have practically been made through correspondence, I do not feel at libety to discuss the matter at more length. Only you may say, and with truth, that I shall be with Mr. Fields next season and that the vehicle in which I shall star is the result of by own and Mr. Selwyn's efforts." . . ALIMONY NOT PAID So Frank B. Rutherford, Law yer, Explains. WIFE HOLDS FIVE NOTES Court Advises Woman to Release Papers and Authorizes Bank to Send Money Each Month to Court, Disburser. ' Frank B. Rutherford, the attorney -who was recently divorced from Ella L. Rutherford, appeared before Circuit Judge Morrow yesterday to show cause why he should not be punished for con tempt ot court for failing to pay his divorced wife J60 a month, alimony, as the court ordered. , Rutherford said he and " his wife had made an agreement by which he should deposit five notes for 500 each with the Ctizens State Bank at Myrtle Creek as surety that he would pay the alimony. He said his wife had so far refused to release the '"notes, and that until she did he was unable to pay the monthly sti pend. The Judge suggested that Mrs. Rutherford Indorse the notes and author ize the bank to send the money to the clerk of the Circuit Court, whence it will be disbursed each month to the di vorced wife. Money Due Seven Years. The court order for alimony was made May 11. Rutherford must pay the money for seven years. He was also obliged to pay J150 attorney's fees for his wife. She has their two children. Rutherford, In his complaint, alleged his wife to be of an extremely Jealous disposition, declaring eha even objected to his conversation with a Mrs. M. F. Kerby. in her presence at the dinner table, demanding that his conversation be directed to her instead of the visitor. Her conduct made it impossible for him to transact business at his office, he charged. Suit for alleged unpaid alimony, amounting to $2250 with Interest, was begun by Addle M. Dewey against Morris M. Dewey ,yesterday. She alleges that on June 12. 1906, she brought a divorce suit against him in the Superior Court of Los Angeles. The interlocutory decree of divorce is alleged to have been signed June 30 of the same year, the final decree being Issued Sep tember 24, 1906, when Dewey was ordered to pay his ex-wife, it is alleged, $50 a month. Harold C. Dewey was made a party to the divorce suit, as his property would be affected by the decree of the court. It is alleged he turned over to 'Mrs. Dewey $450, which was to be applied on the ali mony. The ex-husband has paid Mrs. Dewey nothing, she says. Besides the unpaid alimony she demands $130.90 costs with interest thereon. INTEREST IS NOT ALLOWED Grocer Secures Judgment for Bill Owed for Six Years. One of the hair-splitting technicali ties which attorneys often rely upon to defeat the-Issue in a lawsuit came to light in Judge Morrow's department of the Circuit Court yesterday, when, in rendering judgment for F. T. Blake for groceries delivered to Nina H. Hartman, the court refused to allow Mr. Blake to collect $139.40 interest on the account, which has been owing for more than six years. C. M. Idleman, attorney for Mrs. Hartman, who is the wife of F. L. Hartman, of a local detective agency, objected to one portion of the com plaint because it alleges that Mrs. Hartman promised to pay the grocery bill. Judge Morrow held that there was no evidence that she promised to pay, that Mr. Blake's statement to her from time to time was not. therefore, an "account stated," but an open ac count, and that he could not there fore collect the $129.40 interest there on. This was in spite of the fact that no groceries were sold her during the six years. Judge Morrow explained that if the attorney for the plaintiff had alleged that Mrs. Hartman "made no objection" to the statements as ren dered her by the grocer, he could col lect the interest. Judge Morrow gave Blake judgment for $357.88, allowing Mrs. Hartman to deduct from this $50 for nursing Mrs. Grace Blake, wife of the plaintiff. The grocer declares he never agreed to pay this, and that she was sick only three days. Mrs. Hartman says she was sick five weeks. The defendant was for merly Miss Nina H. Gilluly. EJECTMENT ATTEMPT FOUGHT Protest Failing, Suit Is Brought Against S. Bromberger. When S. Bromberger raised the rent of the store at 74 North Sixth street from $70 to $150 a month, Cranwell & Rosenthal entered a vigorous protest But Bromberger was obdurate, and threatened, they say, to bring suit against them in the Justice Court, to have them ejected. They, therefore, filed suit in the Circuit Court yester day asking that he be restrained from ejecting them from the premises dur ing the term of their lease, and that ha be compelled to accept the $70 a month. The lease calling for the payment of $70 a month was made February 10, it is alleged, the provision being made that another lease might be made later at the same rental price. When the first lease expired. May 1, it is asserted, a new lease was made, of one year's duration. Bromberger is alleged to have refused to accept the July rent, attempting to charge the occupants of the store $150. Wheatland Brings $80 an Acre. DAYTON, Wash.,July 12. (Special.)
