The assessment roll for the year Mi was completed yesterday morning by County Assessor Cornelius. The roll will be turned over to the board of equalisation, consisting of County Judge Trenchard, County Clerk Clin ton and Assessor Cornelius, on Mon day, and the board will hear objec tions to the assessments if there should be any. This year's roll shows an ln trrease over that of last year of 11,40.- With- three exceptions the value of town and city lots, of rolling stock and of household furniture and Jewelry the roll shows increased valuations all the way through. The Increase on til lable land is about one-third, while the, valuation of non-tillable lands has been more than doubled Non-tillable lands Include timber lands, the valua tion of which was fixed according to the amount of Umber standing on the different claims. Land assessed a year ago at 14 an acre is assessed this year at 1 and some land assessed last year (i u aaaaasM this war it 14.

' ' Th. railowltur statement shows the summary of the roll of 1902 and of that Just compiled by Assessor Camahan: ' Wasflsbek Said To Have Sunk Reported That Captain Tabon and Twenty-eight of His Men Were Drowned. A letter received yesterday in Port land conveyed the information thai tha German four-masted bark Winds bek, which sailed from this port Jan uary 12 for MelViurne, had collided In the Engllsta channel with an unknown steamer and sunk. Captain Tat-on and 2$ members of his crew arc re ported to have been drowned. The letter containing news of the disaster wa received by Mrs. A. R. Vlggler, of 432 Stark street, from her mother who .-eslds in Hamburg, Ger many. The letter is in part as fol- tciwa' "We have Just received the sad news of the drowning of Captain Tat ton and 2 of his crew in the Kngllsh Chan- j net Tha Wandsb-k we sunk after colliding with an unknown steanwr. j Only six of the crew were saved and j they were almost dead wlwn ricked up. Every effort was made to save the i others, but the ship sank almost Im mediately. Tha captain's wife is pros- j tinted with grief. A child had beeni tw,rn to them while he was gone. H t had planned to make this nls last voy age, and it seems that the irony of fate so willed It He was going to give up the sea for good and settle down here with Us family. This is one of tha saddest occurrences I evr knew. My nart goes out to the wid owed mother." The Information contained In the let ter is very vague, and it is believed here a mistake has been made as to the place of tha disaster. The Wands Vk sailed from Valparaiso from Mel bourne, and could not possibly lave reached the English channel. Pesu.n- 1902 1903 INCREASE Cl.i8IKICATiOS. Somber! Value I Number, Value I Number!

Whilq It will be Impossible to get any Idea of the probable tax levy until af ter the roll is equalized, it is probable the total will show a decrease over that of last year. There are a few funda whHSt win equlre all the money thai, can bq raised with the levies now run ning, but us to other funds th levies can be reduced. The increased val uation will effect a reduction in the tii lew. so that property owners will find little difference in the taxes as compared with tha last levy. It requires much time to compile xne roll, and Assessor Cornelius -did not ainna. n far 'vith his work a'a he had hoped.
