THE SUNDAY OKEGOMAX. PORTLAND. JUNE 10, 190C.
SHARP ADVANCE
IN ASSESSMENTS
Assessor Sigier's Estimates
for the Business Dis
trict Given.
BIG PERCENTAGE INCREASE
In All Portions of Portland the Fig
ures Are Higher Than Last
Year, but. Down Town
Marks Heaviest liaises.
Consistent with his policy, expressed
and carried out last year. Assessor Sigler
is busing the assessment of land in Mult
nomah County for 1006 upon actual mar
ket values. The. assessment roll, which is
now under preparation, will show a large
advance over the tigures of last year, re
flecting recent advance in prices. Only
the preliminary figures upon the business
district of Portland have yet been made
out by Mr. Stegler. but they are practi
cally the tinal estimates for the present
year, and show an Increase of from 23 to
.'0 per cent in the value of real property
in the central tjistrict of the city.
Increase Nearly $20,000,000.
Mr. Slegler estimates that the total as
sessment roll for Multnomah County this
year will show an increase of from $15,
000.000 to J2n.000.0lO. The larger part of this
Increase will be due to the increase in
the value of lots in the central district
of the city. In addition to the heavy ad
vance In the main business district,
prices have been going up rapidly In
North Portland, on the peninsula. In the
business district and along the waterfront
on the East Side, and the assessment, ac
cording to Mr. Siegler. will show the ad
vance in these places. The assessment
will also be somewhat higher in most of
the residence district of Portland, but
this increase will not be so marked as in
the other localities named.
In 1001. when the assessment was based
on from one-third to one-half the actual
property values, the total taxable prop
erty In Multnomah County was assessed
at J."fi.4'i7.577. Laf't year It was assessed
In full values at J1M.S63.0SS. Iast year,
however, personal property to the extent
of $200, which had previously been taxed,
was exempt. The largest Item of increase
In the two years was In the assessment
of town and city lots. This item ad
vanced from J23.627.200 in 1901. to 67.703.
7S2 in 1905. Mr. Sigler is authority for
the statement that this Item will again
show the greatest advancement In the
assessment.
Theory of Sigler.
"It L a pet theory of mine," said Mr.
Sigler yesterday, "that the fundamental
value lies in the land, and therefore I
believe in putting the increase in assess
ment on the land rather than on the Im
provements. I do not believe in discour
aging the improvement of property by
assessing the buildings higher than nec
essary. Location gives the real value and
land should, therefore, he assessed to
meet the Increase in prices."
In the tax levy In Multnomah
County was 40 mills. Iast year, with the
assessment on full value of property, the
levy wa. H.8 mills. Whether the levy
will he still further reduced this year
with the assessment higher, remains to
be seen. Mr. Sigler believes that It will
remain In the neighborhood of 15 mills,
as increased expenses will have to be met
by about the same levy on the higher as
ssment. One item of taxation which is
almost certain to be higher this year
than last Is the state expenses. Last
vear this item was 1.4 mills. This year
the increase will be due largely to the
appropriation bill which was voted to be
paid at the recent election. This bill will
throw an expense of something like
R;o0,000 on Multnomah County.
What the Figures Show.
The figures which have been prepared
by Mr. Sigler show a sharp advance in
values in all parts of the business district
of Portland. Instances of increases in
value, on the principal streets, are shown
in the following table, which will prob
ably be the final land assessment on the
lots given, the improvements in no case
being taken into consideration:

SAN FRANCISCO SCHOOLS
Children Contribute . for Replacing
Destroyed Buildings.
A gigantic movement to rebuild the San
Francisco schools by public subscription
is on foot, through the efforts of the San
Francisco school reconstruction commit
tee, composed of the Mayor and the Board
of Education of the stricken city. The
first offer to rebuild the schools came
from Galveston, where the majority of
the ,Tublic echools were rebuilt through
the efforts of the school children in the
entire Union.
The committee has organized a bureau
for the dissemination of information re
garding the widespread movement to re
build the schools by the contributions of
the school children and teachers of the
land. Through the assistance of 35 pu
pils of the Commercial High School per
sonal letters have been sent to all the
leading educational people in the United
States, and articles have been written by
the teachers of San Francisco for the
educational publications of the country..
Throughout California and the Pacific
Slope the feeling of sympathy for and the
desire to help San Francisco is more nat
ural than anywhere else. Certain states
Missouri, Oregon and Maine have ex
pressed their intention to erect buildings
to be named after trie respective states
raising the money.
In many states a "San Francisco
Schools Day" has been set aside for the
gathering of the children's offering to
help the children of San Francisco in
their quest of education.-
It is estimated that nearly $6,000,000 Is
needed toward the reconstruction of the
destroyed schools which accommodated
thousands of children and many teachers.
The response so far has been very en
couraging, and A. Koncovier. superintend
ent of the schools in San Francisco, ex
pects the work will be accomplished in a
very short time.
BREAKS UP GAMP MEETING
SCARLET FEVER DEVELOPS AND
QUARANTINE FOLLOWS.
Seventh Day Adventt.t. at Woedbnrn
Leave for Their Homes, Ex
cept Those Detained.
Two cases of scarlet fever that broke
out among those encamped at Wood
burn yesterday, broke up the annual
camp meeting of the Seventh Day Ad
ventists, which had been in session
there a week. The 500 persons in camp
left yesterday for their homes, while
the two children who were infected
with the disease were placed in quar
antine by the county health authori
ties. There was consternation In camp
yesterday morning when it developed
that two campers were 111 with scarlet
fever but through the careful handling
of the crowd by the authorities, there
was no panic. All precautions were
takn against permitting the disease
to spread and those who had not come
in contact with those afflicted were ad
vised to leave for their homes imme
diately. This was dVuie and those who
had been exposed to the children sick
with the disease were also placed in
quarantine.
It Is not known where the disease
came from, as the two children taken
ill are Ftrangers who lately came from
the East.

CAREER OF OREGON'S
V
KOBKRT EAKIN.
LA GRANDE, Or., June 9. (Spec al.) The election , of Judge Robert
Eakin to the Supreme bench is received by the people of Oregon with uni
versal satisfaction, and especially by those of his home tewn and country,
where his excellent personal character is best known. lie Is a man who,
by his own efforts and ability, coupled with an exemplary moral life, has
graduaUy climbed the laddea of success and has now been honored by the
election to Supreme Judge by a large majority.
.Judge Eirkln Is a native of Illinois, havinp- been born in that state 58
years ago. He came to Oregon in 1S66, and received his education at. Wil
lamette University, at Salem, being a member of the class of 1S73. After
leaving college, he entered the law office of Judge George Dorris. of Eu
gene, where he read law until admitted to the bar, when he came to Union
County and began the practice of law at the town of Union in 1S75.
Judge Eakin was appointed Circuit Judge by Governor Lord in 1893. and
was elected to succeed himself In 1S96, and then again in 1902. In the retire
ment of Judge Eakin from the Circuit Judgeship. Eastern Oregon loses a
man who has performed the duties of his trust' in a conscientous manner.
The loss of Judge Eakin to the Tenth Judicial District can only be com
pensated by knowing that what is Union County's misfortune is the entire
state's gain.

hlbition under the initiative and refer
endum. The consensus of opinion among pro
hibitionists Is that the day of "rum rule,"
es they term it, is over and that the tem
perance Xorces will gain strength year
after year until the liquor interests are
annihilated. They regard the election
with supreme satisfaction, and say that
the people of the state have at last awak
ened to the true condition and are be
ginning to overthow the liquor interests
before they become too powerful.
Expect to Gain More Counties.
Every effort will be made to prevent any
of the counties which voted for prohibi
tion from ever voting "wet," and they
expect to keep gradually encroaching
upon the territory of their avowed enemy
until absolute victory Is theirs. The tem
perance workers ay they have so over
whelmingly defeated the liquor interests
that they hope that never again will an
attempt be made to modify the local
option law which the prohibitionists and
antl-saloon workers in general consider
their greatest ally.
"We hope to clo.se every saloon in Ore
gon outside of Portland, and then will
come the big fight for state prohibition,"
said B. Lee Paget yesterday. "We phall
either go forward or back. But I am firm
ly convinced that we. shall go forward.
Once prohibition goes into effect in any
county or precinct it is mighty hard to
turn back into the old way. This has
been the experience in Texas, where there
is in force a local-option law nearly iden
tical to ours. Let a county go "dry" and
the saloon element ceases to be a power
and the saloon men and their friends
generally drift to other places. This
makes the fight for the temperance forces
all the easier whenever an attempt is
made to abolish prohibition."
Three Counties for Liquor.
"I hardly think that we can ever carry
Multnomah, Clatsop or Washington coun
ties, but I do not think it will be many
years before the remainder of the state is
"dry," " said I. H. Amos, candidate for
Governor upon the Prohibition ticket, yes
terday. "When once a county or precinct
votes for prohibition it rarely returns to
'wet.' This has always been my expe
rience. Of course there will always be
more, or less backsliding, but our gains
each year will far exceed our losses. Most
people, even those who before were
friendly to the saloons, stand up for pro
hibition wherever it has been tried. The
influx of a new population sometimes
changes the 'dry' to the 'wet.' Let pro
hibition be enforced except in perhaps
two or three of the counties and then the
citizens of all the other counties will be
come aggravated at the stubbornness of
the, few and vote the whole state 'dry.' '
Expects to Close Saloons.
"I believe that within the next six or
eight years every saloon in Oregon out
side of Portland and Multnomah County
will be closed." said T. S. McDaniel yes
terday. "Unless the temperance forces
lose Interest and go to sleep on their
arms a county thai votes'- for prohibition
is safe for evermore. B'or instance. Ben
ton County did not give us as big a ma-
Jorlty this year as last and the anti-saloon
element is stronger than ever be
fore. They thought they were secure as
they were and did not work as they
would have if they thought there was im
minent danger of the county voting
'wet.' " i
"Domination of- liquor Interest over
politics is a thing of the past in Oregon,
and the people at last have had their eyes
opened." said F. McKercher. "The liquor
men became so bold and insolent because
of fancied security that the people rea
lized that they had been guilty of dere
liction of duty and rose alarmed. The
temperance forces will steadily grow
stronger until we can control the state,
which will result In the abolition of the
saloon."

Alex Sweek's Boost.
No wonder the brethren cry-even
if the cry isn't heard outside of Ore
gon "Governor Chamberaln for, Pres

lain." says Chairman Sweek.
"Me, too," says John Manning.
And the echo answers. "W!v said
Chamberlain when the Bryan boom is
stalking abroad?" ,
Bryan!
Sure he's coming back to his own.
Pat Powers says so. So does Charles
Petraln. John Montag. J. T. Mllner. H.
B. Nicholas, G. H. Thomas, F. V. Hol
man. General Killfeather and Citizen
Horan. A mighty chorus this.
J. T. Mllner wants Bryan. He's
proud of being once and for all times
a Bryantte. "They've had to come to
their milking," says he. "Bryan's the
laddy buck that'll tilt the proud head
of the renegade Democratic pluto
cracy downward. It will be no longer
the 'classes and the masses," 'twill be
the masses. Roll the days on the cal
endar by. It will be Bryan and some
other good man in 1908."
"Strict partisan, am I," says Charles
Petraln. "Bryan for me, but let's have
a ticket from top to bottom that is
made up of the gilt-edge men of the
party. Hail Bryan. Down with those
who would lead the party up to the
shambles just to elect one man."
"Hearst will fall in line for, Bryan
all right," says H. B. Nicholas.
It Is All Bryan.
"There's no use to talk about
Hearst," said Pat Powers. "He's the
radical and Bryan's the conservative.
Say, how's Mayor Lane and his under
study. Captain x Bruin, on this Bryan
movement? How's this for a ticket?
"Mayor Lane for President.
"Tom Word for Vice-President.
"Captain Bruin for Chief of the Sec
ret Service Bureau.
"Yes, and there may be room in the
Senate for Mayor Lane's dog catcher."
"By the saints of St. Merrylegs, but
this Bryan boom sure do move," ex
claimed General Killfeather. . "I was
talking to mo friend Pat Powers, and
he said to me. says he, 'If Captain
Bruin don't look out he'll be trampled
underneath the boots of the Democrat
ic army that's marchln' for Bryan.
Some of them half-wise guys that fell
over themselves getting out of Bryan's
way In 1900 and '96 will be tumbling
back now.'
"Sure." I says, "and Pat you an' me'll
be laughlh' at them tumblin'. I'm for
Bryan, the crown- of gold and -the
thorns, only I'd save the thorns for the
Republicans. That's me."
