THE MOUSING ASTORIAN, ASTOltl A,
ArJY LOTS ASSE
ED
AT ELY 1 EMS
HERETOFORE THE RATE WAS
ONLY $1 OWNERS NOW
PROTESTING.
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. ' - ' ; ' ."' -'

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
