they will be able to liquidate the state
debt through the tax on the estate
left by Mrs. Robert Worth Bingham.
formerly Mrs. Henry M. Flagler, of
New York and vt asnington.
Mrs. Blugham's estate. It has been
estimated, will total more than 165,
OOO.OuO. and the Inheritance taxes on
the entire estate, if collected, would
amount to between 12,500,000 and
13,000.000. or nearly enough to pay off
the state debt.
Mrs. Bingham, who died last July,
left the bulk of her estate to her sec
ond husband. Judge Robert Worth
Bingham. of Kentucky. Reports
reaching the attorneys and tax col
lectors, however. Indicate that the will
may be contested, and If such Is the
case the state may lose part of the In
come tax.
An Inventory just filed by the ad
ministrator at a hearing before a spe
cial state Inheritance tax appraiser,
values the stocks, bonds. Jewelry and
other personal property at $65,322,000.
Mrs. Bingham was well known in

entertained there.

"Fortunately Portland contained a

the flames, looking seemingly for a

Picture Recalls Desolate Scene.
"Situated on the west side of First
street, directly opposite the furniture
factory, was the machine shop of Smith
Bros., which has now grown to the
Smith & Watson Iron Works. The en
tire institution then occupied one lot,
50 by 100 feet. The cupalo, the boiler,
the engine, one big and one little lathe
and a drill press comprised the ma
chinery, the ruins of which can be seen
in the picture.
"The man at the forge. In the picture,
was their blacksmith. His name was
Pollock. The man in the foreground
was William Collier, a machinist in
their employ, and the two in the rear
were my brothers, Edward and Joe, who
were either serving their apprentice
ships or were engaged as machinists.
"Off to the right can be seen two
steeples. The near one was the First
Baptist and the one to the extreme
rig-ht was" the First Episcopal. In the
extreme right hand corner may be seen
a tall building with a mansard roof, at
that time the Masonic Temple, now
the home of J. K. Gill & Co. The two-
story house In the foreground was the
home of Dr. Weatherford, a prominent
physician in those days. It is now
standing on the south side of Clay
street, between Sixth and Broadway,
and can be easily picked out by the
lover of old things who may take the
trouble to wander up that way."
