Assort That $M,OOe ftTear XterettM Xs Thereby Zjost to 2Xalt The latest ennouneement by Assessor Greenleaf is that the County Commis sioners hare made no levy for road poll taxes for the post three years, and that $35,000 year which could otherwise have been collected for road purposes, baa not been realized. The Assessor further says that If the poll -tax law was enforced, $18,000 more per year from this source oould be collected. He has prepared a list of 18,000 names which he will turn over to the Sheriff, of persons who are fllablo for the payment of poll and road tax Tho statute upon tho subject of poll tex provides: "A. poll tax of $1 shall be assessed upon every male inhabitant of this state be tween the ages of 21 and CO years, except all active or exempt firemen who have ween members of any company for a period of one year preceding: the assess ment of taxes, "Any officer charged with the collection t any tax who cannot find personal prop prty out of which to make the same shall demand such tax from any person who Siay be Indebted to such taxpayer, etc. "The Assessor shall require every por twsn to pay his poll taxes of every kind at tho time of assessing the same, and In de jfmolt of such payment, the Assessor shall immediately give the Sheriff a list of such on taxes and the Sheriff shall Immedi ately collect the seme, etc." Regarding road taxes, an act passed by 'Che Legislature In 1S3 provides: "Providing that In every county In this state the County Court at the time of levying: taxes for county purposes may, If tn the Judgment of the County Court 'It Is for tho best Interest of the county, 'levy a tax upon all the taxable property in the county not to exceed 5 mills on the dollar, and in addition thereto a poll tax Of (2 may be assessed upon every person "who shall be liable to pay state poll tax, which shall be collected with and at the 'same time and manner as county taxes shall be collected, and shall be kept as & separate fund known as the road fund." Another section provides that a road supervisor ehall apportion the labor to be performed In his district to the valuation of tho taxable property therein at the ratio of one day's work for every $1000 assessed for state and county purposes the last preceding year. Any person In lieu of one day's work may pay $1 50, and he shall assess two days' work to every person between tho ages of 21 and 50 years. Assessor Greenleaf states that none of this has been done of late. He says the County Commissioners have made no levy of road tax for over two years, and the supervisors have not collected the $1 50 per day In default of two days' work, tor the same length of time. This does not apply to the present Com ty Commissioners who assumed the duties of their office last July, as the tax levy Is made In the month of January, which time has not yet arrived. KBW BONDING ACT. To He Introduced at Next Session of Iesislatnre. F. A. Bancroft, who Introduced and secured the passage of what Is known as the Bancroft bonding act In the 'Legisla ture, several years ago. Is engaged In the preparation of another law to take the plaoe of the present one. Mr. Bancroft says the act In Its pres ent form Is very different from what -it was when he first introduced It, and all the objectionable features wore inserted after It left his hands, so that when It was finally passed he could hardly recog nlzo it. The main objection to the law Is that in Its present form the city has to pay the Interest on all the Improve ment bonds Issued under it. This, Mr. Bancroft says, was not the Intention whon the bill was framed, but it was to require the property-owner to pay the Interest. As be Introduced the bill and It bears his name, he is anxious that it should be changed so that all objection able features should be eliminated. Under the new law, all Interest on improvements must be paid by property-owners. This cannot affect the bonds that have been Issued, which now amount to over $200,000, but will prevent the city being further burdened with the interest. Mr. Bancroft In the new act will fully protect the city. The Impression has been that the law would be repealed and that .It ought to be repealed In its present form, and thero has been a rush with some Bast Side property-owners to get street improve ments started so they might escape the Interest. It is estimated that between SCO and 400 blocks of street work are under way and contemplated on the Cast Side, and that a majority of. the property-own era will take advantage of the Bancroft bonding act before it is repealed or changed. There Is much complaint, but there is no way to prevent property-owners from taking advantage of the provis ions of 'the law, but the new law will throw all the burden on the property owner and fully protect the city.

COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN Informal entertainment, "Wltn & De llsrhtfol. Varied ?roa-ramme. A very pleasant Informal entertainment was given by the women of the Jewish Council last "Wednesday afternoon, the programme comprising a dlaertaiou ou the biography and choicest poems o Bmma Lazarus. These were delightfully given by Mrs. Anna C Newman, Mrs. Rosenthal and Mrs. R. Prager. A charming violinist. Miss Bang, a graduate of the University of Copen hagen, made her initial bow to a Port land audience on this occasion. She Is an artist of great ability, whoso tech nique is faultless, her tone sweet and pure, added to which are a rare grace of oharm and manner. Her solos were "Mazurka de Concert." by Ovid Musln. and- tho "Cavatlna," by Raff. Master Franlde Rlchter, who holds a warm pCace in the hearts of all music-. Keren la Portland, again distinguished- Schott Recital Includes Many BUvot lto Operatic Humbert. The fourth in the series of Anted Bchotfs recitals, given at Bishop Scott Armory, yesterday afternoon, equaled, if it did not surpass tho preceding oneer in point of interest. Selections from Sfozarf s masterpiece. "Don Juan," formed tho first part of the programme, which was opened, after a short synopsis by Mr. Vanned, with Leporello's delldously comlo song, "Setae Rub. bel Tag und Kacht." It is a pleasure to observe the Improvement in quality aa well as in quantity in Mr. Vannod'a voice since his first appearance before a Port land audience. The second number, the celebrated duet between Don Juan and Zerllna, "Reich mir die Hand," sung by Herr Sohott and Miss Bchuecktng brought out some rery I sweet tones in Miss Schuecklng's voice which blended surprisingly well with her master's. Herr Schotf s two solos, the charming serenade, with its pizzicato accompani ment, and the tremendously effective drlnkingt song wero given vfith a rollick ing humor and snap that betrayed the comedian in the great artist s make-up. Zerllna's aria, sung by Miss Bchueck ing, and Donna Anna's recitative given by Miss Velguth, were listened to with Interest. Owing to a severe cold Miss Velguth was unfortunately not able to complete her number with the ara. The second part of the programme con sisted of the last act of "Tannhauser," the opening solos and chorus being re peated In order to lead up effectively to the climax of the entire drama, Tann hausefs story of his pilgrimage to Borne. Herr fiohott gave both the baritone and the tenor parts, beginning with the "Wol fram solos, for which he was in wonder fully good voice, tho song to the evening star being so especially beautiful In tone- quality and noble in interpretation as to be redemanded by the audience. The "Pilgrims' Chorus," sung behind the scenes by Messrs. Streyfeller, A, M. "Wright, Vannod and Henry Teal, and "Elizabeth's Prayer," artistically inter preted by Miss Schuecklng,- came between the baritone numbers. Anton Bchott's rendering of the Tannhauser narrative with its magnificent piling up of dramatic Intensity, a rendering not likely to be equalled, brought the recital to a fitting close. Though the best pianoforte accompani ment is totally Inadequate to this sort of singing, Herr Schott Is fortunate in hav ing at the piano some one as responsive and sympathetic as Miss Schuecklng is. Miss Velguth took her place In several numbers. The fifth recital of the series Is to be a Schumann evening on November 20. AWAY AHEAD OF THE HOUNDS Excltingr Paper Chase, "Which Baffled All Pnrmers. Tho third of the series of paper ohases given by the patrons of the Portland Rid ing Academy was held yesterday, and turned out to be one of the most baf fling to the riders pursuing the hares that has yet taken place. James Nlcol and Miss Frances Lewis were the hares, with a 10-mlnute start. They threw out a scent that completiely throw their pursu ers off the track. Doubling on their trail several times, and throwing out a maze of side leads, they completed the course 25 minutes ahead of the first hound to finish, and 50 minutes before the main body of riders caught up. The hounds were separated during the chase, and R. H. Jenkins finished first alone, canter ing In slowly, with apparent unconcern. Imagining himself the last to cover the course. In the party were Mrs. Bufftrm, Mrs. Flske, Miss Frances Lewis, Miss Burns, Miss (Ray Hexter, Miss Belle Alnsworth, J. "W. Cruthers, E. T. Chase. Dr. Chip man, A. H. Kerr, S. C. Kerr, David Kerr, Ambrose Cronln, John Lotto, B. M. Lazarus, R. H. Jenkins, R, L. Sab In and 'James Nlcol. The start was near the end of Mississippi avenue, and tho finish about two blocks from the start, on the Portland boulevard, where a crowd of spectators in carriages and drags had gathered. "When the main party of rid ers came In on the home stretch on a fast RlUYVlEAD IWAS'.'PRESENT. gallop, Br. Chipman finished first, and John Latta second. For the benefit of the spectators, tho following entered a quarter-mile dash on the boulevard: John Latta, Br. Chipman, A. H. Kerr, E. M. Lazarus and Ambrose Cronln. It made a picturesque sight as they came down the home stretch neck and neck, John Latta winning first, and Br. Chipman second. The latter have ar ranged a mile race on the Xdnnton 3ad. to take place in a few weeks. The next paper chase frill be given Thanksgiving morning.

In tho first half a touohdown was scored by the Academy,, tho goal not being kicked, and no further score was made. Tho final score tells the story Portland Academy, 5; Portland High School, a An enlhuslastio large crowd of rooters and friend of. the two teams, mostly sweat young misses, gaily bedecked in the old gold ribbons. Academy colors, and cardinal for the High School, blew horns and generally made things hum as the struggling boys on the gridiron veered j uwn one ena oi xne neia to tne oiner. The'teams were very evenly matched, Each team seemed to have the same strength and the same faults, but the High School boys seemed particularly un fortunate in fumbling at critical mo ments. Offensive play was each team's long BUlt, but when it came to tho de fense the lines seemed to be utterly un ble to withstand the rushes of the op posing backs. In the kicking depart ment tho Academy seems to have the best of It, "Williams, the Academy fullback, being tho bright particular star, his re turn of Trowbridge's long punt while on the run. just at the close of the game, was the best football of the day. In the line the Academy boys were far ahead as to ends. Stlllman. at miard. and Holt, at end. are strong youn.g play- i era. For the High School, VanBlbber, at center: "Woodcock, at guard, and Strahan, at tackle, did fine playing. The High School backs, Connell, Harkins and Trowbridge, did fine line bucking, and would undoubtedly have scored had not fumbles intervened. Smith and "Warren, for the Academy, found numerous holes near tho end of tho school lino and thereby made their best gains. The best of feeling prevailed between the opposing teams, and the ball played was of the cleanest kind. Last night the teams occupied boxes at the Mar quam Theater by courtesy of Manager Helllg. The Game In Detail. The game was called promptly at 8 o'clock. The High School had the kick off and defended the north goal. The Academy team was held for yardage and forced to punt. "Williams punted for 80 yards and High School lost the ball on a fumble. The Academy again punted and the High School boys had the ball-on their seven-yard line. The ball was taken out of this dangerous position by a punt, but Stott, of the Academy team, brought the ball back to the High School's 80 yard line. The Academy fumbled, but did not lose the ball. They then, tried a new play, the center putting the ball in play by kicking it forward instead of snapping it back. This gained them five yards, but they lost the balL The High School fumbled and Stlllman got the ball on the High School's 15-yard line. "Wil iams made a gain, and brought the ball within six yards of the goal line. "Wil liams was played again for a line buck and took the ball over the line. No goal was kicked. "Williams got the ball on the kick-off and advanced it 10 yards. "Warren made a 45-yard run on a straight buck. The Academy then, steadily pushed the ball toward the High School's goal, and succeeded In getting it within one yard of the line. There they made a fumble, which was caught by Strahan, of the High School. From there the High School advanced the ball steadily, with runs by Connell, Harkins and Trow bridge. At the end of the half tho ball was in "the Academy's territory, but the High School did not have time to score. Score at end of first half, P. A., 6; P. Hj ,8.. 0. In, the second half the P. A. kicked off and Harkins advanced the ball IS yards. The High School made a few steady gains, but were soon forced to punt. Trowbridge punted 45 yards, and the P. A. had the ball on their 5-yard line. The High School made steady gains and it seemed as if they were going to score, when they lost the ball on, a fumble. The P. A. made a few gains, but soon punted. The High School was not able to advance the ball and punted. "Wil liams, of the Academy, made a beautiful return kick, and after the High School boys had advanced the ball a few yards . . - ,.. SNAP SHOTS time -was called. Score: P. A., B; P.' H. S., 0.

A very charming Afternoon was spent with the Ladies' Literary Club of the First Congregational Church last "Wednesday afternoon. "Mrs.. Louis Alt man spoke without notes on "A Remote Corner of Our Country," calling attention to the many physical features of Mexico that were similar to those of Palestine. The color of the sky was pale blue, and only in the rainy season were there any rivers. The atmosphere begets hope and lends a roseate hue to the landscape. Tha moonlight Is so white that it gives rise to the Illusion of snow, on the ground. There are digs for wood (mesquite), ana climbs for water (windmills), and, Bhn added, incidentally, cake-making can be accomplished by no recipe successful in other localities. Mrs. Altaian's manner of presenting her facts was so thorough ly delightful as to holdher hearers quite enthralled. Mrs. Rapp gave a highly interesting pa per on the Indians of New Mexico, de scribing their homes, dress, industries, social life and religion. In speaking of the law of descent, she said that the child is regarded aa belonging to the mother, whose name it assumes. There are no Indian family names. The Pueblo wom an is absolute owner at 'the house and all that is in it. Just asher husbandbwno the fields which he tills. He Is a good farmer and she a good housewife. Both home and farm are models of neatness. These partially civilized Indians unques tionably belong to a civilization that sep arates them from 'the ordinary Indian as we have known him in our history, a civilization older than. ny of Europe. Mrs. Rapp Illustrated her paper with many Indian blankets, articles of attire and other curios, which greatly Interest ed all the women present. The muslo of the afternoon comprised a piano solo by Mrs. W. A. Kftight, and two songs from "As You Like It," given by Mrs. B. S.

Ebditbltton of Dare and Rembrandt Prints Opens November 20 Leo- 'tnres ty Mr. Torrey. The Portland Art Association makes tho following: announcements of exhibitions and lectures during the coming: season: The work of the year opened In Sep tember with tho first of the series of ex hibitions from the collection of photo graphs, these being: selected to form a basis of ' consecutive and systematic study. But the plan of the association Is to supplement their permanent collections with loans of such works of art as may from time to time be available. The first of these special exhibitions for this sea son will open Tuesday, November 20, and remain in place four weeks. By the gen erosity of owners It has been possible to obtain nearly 100 fine prints from the work of Burer and Rembrandt, affording: an opportunity seldom given In a city the size of Portland to study the works of these old masters in impressions of great excellence, many of them being very rare. Those who enjoyed the lectures on these artists given by Miss Osgood last year will bo glad of this opportunity for fur ther study, especially as etchings and en gravings have the additional value of be ing originals, so that' the allowance which must always be made in the study of a reproduction or translation Is not neces sary here where we have the exact result at which the artist aimed.

Torrey, of San Francisco, has kind ly consented to give. The first of these on "The Relation of Art to Modern Life," Is more general In Its bearing, suggesting the spirit In which the whole subject, or a study of any work should be approach ed; while In the second lecture, relating particularly to the exhibited prints, we shall have the' benefit of appreciation and technical knowledge, resulting from years of 'special study. These lectures will be open to all hold ers of annual tickets.
