C 0'NEIL AND COMPANY. - COURT LEVIES State Board Fixes Apportionment of State Taxes for 1904. Total Amount Is $1,200,000 and Clatsop County's Share Is $25,970. Salem, Jan. 2. The state board of levy, composed of Governar Chamber lain, Secretary of Suit Dunbar, and State Treasurer Moore, held a meet ing this afternoon and prepared a state ment of the computation and appor tionment of the state levy of taxes for 1904. It consists of all the items of expense and deficiency and surplus warrants, amounting to only $113.58 the least amount to be raised for this purpose in the history of the state, that for last year being $3084. 5 ; cur rent expense of the Oregon Xatlonal Guard, $45,000; support of the uni versity of Oregon, $47,500; state agri cultural college, $25,000; the per diem and mileage expenses of the last reg ular legislative assembly, $5000;, In cluded in the special appropriation bill vetoed by the governor, and per diem and expenses of the recent special ses sion of the legislature, $7500. It al so includes the amount apportioned for the support of all of the state in stitutions and commissions which were created by the legislative assembly of 1903 and the special session Just closed. 1 The total amount of revenue to be raised by taxation for state purposes for the ensuing year Is estimated at $1,200,000. This Is the largest umount to be raised by taxation in the history of the state, the nearest approach to it being the levy for the year 1892, which was $1,121,845.61. last year was $760,000, which was the j lowest in the state's history, with the exception of the year 1900, which, was $671,478.78. The full amount to be raised this year is $1,225,000, but this Includes the $25,000 to be raised for the state agricultural college support, which Is levied and collected separa tely from the regular state taxes. The amount of reventie to be raised for the year 1904 Is made so great on account of the large amounts appropriated by the legislature for different purposes, including the $250,000 for the Lewis -Celllo portage rullway; $100,000 for the payment of the Indian war veter ans, and $100,000 for the purchase of the right-of-way for the Dulles-Celllo canal, amounting In all to $615,000. Deducting the large amount of special appropriations, there would only be leu ios.vih, or tne regular revenue to be raised for the expenses of the state. The total expense to which the state will be subjected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1904, and the payments of the special claims for which appropriations were made but not levied for, will amount to $1, 473.310.10, but the receipts of the state treasury not applied by law to some special purpose, and the excess of receipts for the year 1903 over the estimates of the levy, unexpended bal ances, etc., will bring the amount stat ed before, $1,200,000. Clatsop county, which pays .0212 per cent of the state's expenses,' will be required to raise $25,440 and an ad ditional $530 for the agricultural col lege, or $25,970 In all. Columbia must raise $12,9S5, and Tillamook $10,6,17.50. Multnomuh will contribute $.182,567.50. DEATH OF YOUNG WOMAN DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES.

Body of Unfortunate Girl Exhumed By Coroner, But No Vrime Wat Discovered. Kahuna, Wash., Jan. 2. Pi" :iu."e of the suspicious circumstances surround Ing the funeral of the young Finnish woman on the upper Katama river, County Physician R. E. Darnell was summoned to Woodlnmr yesterday to perform an autopsy upon the remains of the girl, which had been exhum mI by officials at Woodland In response to a demand of the people In that vi cinity. Dr. Darnell returned today and stated that death was due to nat ural causes, the woman having sur cumoeu to a severe attuo kor pneu monia. There was nothing to Indi cate foul play. The Incident, how ever, brings t ollght a most pathetic story. The girl, whose name cannot be learned for several days, owing to the fact that those acquainted with her are located In the mst Isolated part of the. forests In tills district, was brought Into the wilds where she died from Portland by two Philanders, nellh er of whom could speak English. She was engaged to do housekeeping work In the small cabin until the wives of the two settlers, who are on the way from Finland, should arrive. With out proper clothing, the girl contracted a cold and Thursday night at 11 oclock she fela victim to pneumonia. Her only attendants were the two Flnlanders, and without medicines and proper equipments for the care of the sick, the girl succumbed. Instead of notifying the authorities the two men decided to conduct the funeral themselves, and constructing a coffin of rough boards, placed the body therein and proceeded with the Interment, Woodland people offered their assistance, but to this the men Something Good.
