Several gentlemen who are owners of scores and even hundreds of un improved lots in the city of Astoria yesterday filed formal protest with the board of. equalization against the assessments made against these lots. The principal names signed to the protests were those of J. Q. A. Bowl by, D. II. Welch, A. R. Cyrus, James Finlayson, and the Douglas Land Company, by J. F. Hamilton, the at-; torney, ''. '', '' , AH of the protests are made Jn the same tenor and to exactly the same effect. ' Mr. Cornelius, the county assessor, this year has assessed these numer ous lots at $2 each. Heretofore the assessment was only $1 a lot. ' Now the owners come forward and aver that the $2 rate is too high, and in one or more of the protests it is averred that the $2 assessment is ex cessive to an exorbitant extent; that this is more than the "market value" pf the lots. , It is also stated that these lots are almost uniformally unimproved, and that in comparison with other unim proved "acreage property" the rate is too high. V The number of such lots within the city limits of Astoria is said to be surprisingly large. They are held in the expectation that Astoria will grow larger than it now is, when these lots undoubtedly would become quite valuable. ; ' If a man owned 100 lots, with the assessment at $2 each, the tax would amount to only perhaps $10 or less. The board of equalization took no formal action on the matter yester day, though it was hinted that there seems no valid reason why the as sessment should be lowered on these lots. .... : " ... '; ': A considerable , amount of other property has also been raised as these lots have been. While the lots have been just doubled in value, from $1 to $2, it is stated that in many cases the .valuation of $1 or $2 is even ludicrously low, despite the fact that some of the owners aver that the market value of these lots is not as much as $2 a lot. ' Generally speaking, most of the valuations in the county have been raised, the increase being just about 60 per cent on the whole. Last year the total assessment was about five million. The new assessment is about eight million. J Both Want It " - Dr. Logan and George Kaboth are both candidates for the Common Council from the Second ward, and for the past two days it has been a sort of Chinese puzzle to decide which shall run ' for the four-year term. In each ward there is to be a councilman elected for a two-year term and for a four-year term. Both Mr, Kaboth and Dr. Logan want the four-vear term, and the friends; 'of each apparently are urging them to stand out for the four-year term. - Pot Is "Biling" If all the political dope that came to the surface yesterday were written it would easily fill several columns of the Astorian. But by to night the political horizon may have cleared sufficiently so that what is written may be stated' definitely. The whole city was stirred all day yes terday with nothing but municipal politics, and one of the best signs of the times is that the business men and other leading citizens are show ing an interest in matters. 7 CLEVER TRICK. T SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 23.0f ficers of the federal immigration ser vice who have been investigating re cords here, have made the intersting discovry that vast property holdings of President Cabrera of Guatemala have been given the cloak of Amcri can ' protection through Cabrera's son who, was first naturalized in this city, where he resides, and to whom there has been tran6fered it is said, a good share of the plantations and estates that make up the" Cabrera .fortune. '; ' ; "' Diego Estrada Cabrera was natii ralized here in 1901 having resided here for some years, during his at tptiflano at the university. While it is said that the course taken in some what unusual, it is believed that in the event' of war, revolution or pil lage the United States would ' be obliged to protect the Cabrera hold ings. ' - ' ; ' ."' -' lion on emu SOME DISPOSED TO THINK THE OFFICIAL FIGURES OF 300 ARE TOO HIGH. Although the police were given a list of about 300 truancy cases a week ago, it is understood that nothing hus been done to make investigation of the delinquencies. Acting Chief of Police Oberg stat ed that he has had no time to look into the matter, and that the force has been particularity bus)? of late. Besides, one or more of the officers have been on vacation. ' Last year the police made no ef fort at all to help in the truancy cases, it is said, and there has been some doubt : that much assistance could be secured from them this year. In the first place the averaue police officer deep down in his heart doesn't feel that this kind of work lies within his province, and more- over he is apt to think that he has all he can do to take care of his beat without "chasing kids all over the hills." And it is admitted that there is some force in the average police officer's point of view, ' But, on the Other hand, a slight in vestigation of the matter tends to throw some doubt on there being 300 cases of truancy, or anywhere near that number. Comparatively very few children may be seen run ning the streets. In the center of the city there are no boys idling about during school hours, while in both Uniontown and Uppertown, the residents there take great pride in the fact that their children lead in school matters. ' It is known that some boys and girls Between the ages of 14 and 16 are out of school, but they are em ployed,' and being employed in some bona fide work they have th"e privi lege of not attending classes. But between the ages of 9 and 14 attend; ance upon the daily classes s im perative. " ' " ' -' Superintendent Clark, in making the figures at 300, of course has tak en the only official figures possible. That is, he has taken the number of children shown in the bcIiooI census taken last November, and composed it with the number actually at school, and in this comparison the discrep ancy of 300 arices. But a part of this 300 may be explained away. - There are a goodly number of children attending the Convent of the Holy Names perhaps SO from this city. Other children have moved from the city. Some of the 300 have entered upon the age between 14 and 16 and are working with the consent of their parents. Nevertheless, even after all deductions are made, there is still a pretty big figure left, and it is this delinquent list that the police or someone else will have to work . . . i on. In Novemoer - anomer scnooi renMi will be taken and then the whole matter will be clear. v There are Some who' believe the police should not have the primary jurisdiction in truancy cases, and should only be asked to -give aid in certain cases. They argue that the rieht kind of man or woman should be selected for this place a person who has a natural liking for children, and would take a deep interest in the matter, and someone who can afford to work for a fairly small payment W.
