PROTESTS ARE FEW!
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.

W. 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. Lew Fields,

Wllllan Collier, Who Will Desert
Frohman Colors to Appear in
Farce Which Actor Helped to
" Create.
who Is himself considered by many the
funniest comedian in the world. . 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.)
The largest deal in farm land re
corded here this year, being exceeded

eight miles north of Dayton for $31,750,
an average price of $80 an acre. This
is the highest price ever paid for grain
land In the Alto country.
