The following- letter waa written to
a gentleman In thl city by a non-resident
who has--' Invested here- quite
largely, and in. valuable as showing how
the question1 of taxation enters Into the
Investment feature' so far aa 'outside in.
restore ,are "concerned: ;
"Dear, 8lr: With .'reference to our oon
versatioa In. Portland a few daye ago
on the subject of assessment and taxa
tion of property In Portland and your
desire to hear from-me as non-resident
Investor on the subject: While It might
be. of some Interest to the Taxpayers'
league and property holders generally
to know -the; Impressions of a non-resident
on this question,-. I doubt very
much If they would vary at all from
your own people In a general Una of
what property will produce and the ex
pense of holding same., where the mat
ter of taxation Is of considerable magni
tude, as Is the case In what might be
termed gilt-edged business' Investments.
"As I understand it. It Is the Inten
tion of your assessor ta raise the value
of taxable property from ISO.000,000
-to16M00,000 In the eounty-ef-Wult-nomah,
and it la his Intention to do so
for the coming levy. It Is expected that
the levy of mttls last year ts to be
reduced to IS mills on this new valua
tion. No objection can be raised to
thla procedure. If the new apportion
ment can be done equally -(my impres
sion Is however. It should be gradual
and extend over a period -of three or
four years); but with auch a raise ot
values, will your people hold the levy
vnluesTt"you('woFs;'at atVreatiaadvan
tags when you have several bodies who
have the power to pass on a levy for
their particular desires and are not
held down by a common body which
should or would, supervise all taxation
and be responsible to the people as a
unit. The present system allows toe
much 'leeway and the stability of a tax
nit la never settled: . '
"The question of how much a prop
erty Is taxed la or much consequence to
a purchaser.-est?7lally where he come
from a community where a rata la
fixed from year to year. He determines
the Income very xlosely and Is guided
very much thereby. Opportunity todsy
Is very great for people for money-to in
vest In bonds which ; have a fixed In
come and a city building up as our coaat
cities - should take lessons from the
many Instanoes In the middle west (for
example.. Leavenworth, Kansas,) , where
taxation, drove capital to. points near by
(as Kansas City) where they were In
sured, a fixed charge and resulted in
thousands of dollars being lost td each
overtaxed Uies through false Ideas.
-".Los Angeles U art example" of where
taxation is cloeejy watched - for the
bAsVflt of all ne,w comers and where
public Improvement has Jeep t up with
the phenomena I - growth-of a cH y. 1 1
must -not be assumed that non-residents
are always buying for speculation, as
the largest investment enterprises
have sprung from total r strangers.'
Kvery Inducement and 'encouragement
should be given to prospective pur
chasers; your taxes should be on a firm
bssls so that he may expect a propor
tionate return -for his money. -
"I Understand that it is the Intention
to tax ground values so that Improve
ments may be fostered. This Is to me
an excellent Idea and If properly- car
rled out will soon show Its good effects,
especially from what might be termed
foreign investors, who will Improve to
Insure income. ,
"I am very much in earnest wh l
ssy I think Portland haa a great future
ana is now only awakening. But you
enouia remember you must - always

in the kitchen, when Lu Blng crept up
behind him and with a sharp hatchet

Tom Sing.- , . '
Tom Sing's - wife became hysterical
for a short time and threw herself upon
his body. She soon composed herself
and slapped his -cheeks -and scolded -him

when seen at the county Jail, where he
Is being held, pending the - arrival of
Nebraska authorities. He said:

ter. . '- ; . , . ,
r -"' -Tea of the BftuiteeU'r7
"My first wrong began-after ".I 'u
forced out of my butcher bualneas by
the elder Cudahy. I was made manager
of k wholesale department of his plant,
and I began "knocking down" and soon
waa deepiylnvolyedand since ,then J
have been nothing but a piece of drift

. ."Never h.aveI left, my room wlthont
fear of being captured. The terror of
being constantly hunted Is simply awful.
For five years I have never set toot la
a theatre. When Butte: officers -'arrested
me I readily acknowledged that
my name was Pat Crowe and that I was
willing to return to Omaha and face the
worst.. I want to begin life anew,
"I told Detective - MeQarrey of the
Butte police Thursday that I was Crowe,
aaklng to be locked up, but he laughed
at me, -telling me my. head was full. I
went by my own name hers. I am tired;
of . being a fugitive, Only God knows
the agonies' I have suffered."- '' 1
Crowe's Identification Is positive. To
day he reiterated his statement, stating
that young Eddie Cudahy was the orig
inator ef the kidnaping plot.
- ToaagT Cadaky'e Part,
"One day. In September, 1900," said
Crowe. '1 met - young Cudahy on the
street and ha told merof simian whereby
we could make $50,000 from his old man
without turning a hair, Aa he was but
a boy, I paid little heed to hla rambling.
Later I met him again and he aeemed so
earneat I thought. I would see how far
he would go. We took third man to
on the -plan and made our arrangements
and November It we put the plan la op
eration.- - .. - -
'"I rented a house . on Melrose hill
where young Cudahy was to be detained.
I then wrote a letter to the elder Cud
ahy demanding $: 5.000 ransom for his
son. .The -young roan wanted to make
the amount 150.000, but we decided thut
this amount was too steep. In the letter
we gave directions to the elder Cudahy
aa to how and where the money should
be delivered to us.
"Mr. Cudahy followed out the direc
tions to the letter, and after I had se
cured the money, left at the designated
spot, I returned to the house on Melrose
hill, where the money waa counted out,
and $4,000 was turned over to the boy.
We then took young Cudahy to within a
block of his home. After suspicion di
rected toward me I went directly to
Chicago, where ' I remained several
months."
GREAT YEAR FOR SCHOOL
Worts PaclAo Bsatal College Opeas Wltk
. Bright Prospects.
' Present Indications make It a cer
tainty that the attendance In the North
Pacific Dental college will be the larg
est thla year - In ' the history of the
school. Pupils are arriving on every
train and from the present outlook-the
capacity of the school will be taxed to
the utmost.
The school opened on the second and
the claases organised. Regular lectures
began yesterday and the year's work
haa started off In earneat. Studenta
will, however, be received until the
twelfth, after which no one can enter
and get credit for the full year's work.
The North Pacific Is the largest dental
school west of Chicago or St. Louis and
Its numbers are In keeping with its rank
In instruction. ... .....
Dr. Miller, dean of the school, when
seen by a Journal repreaentatlve, stated
that never in its history did It have so
bright an outlook. "Our students are
admitted." said he. "to all the largest
eastern universities upon their creden
tials without examination. We have
found by experience that they are fully
aa well equipped, and If for any reason
It Is necessary . for a man to go from
the North Pactflo to one of the big
schools "of the east, even In the middle
of the term, he la admitted to the same
standing he enjoyed here and haa no
difficulty in maintaining hla rank.
It has. of course, been a difficult
taak to attain such a standard, but by
persistent effort and an unyielding pur
pose we have succeeded In bringing our
course-of study fully up to that of any
dental school In the United States. Not
only Is this true, but-we sre following
It Just as thoroushly and require lust
as high a standard of scholarship: In
tha matter of clinics our students have
superior advantages to those - of the
larger schools and we ran give them
cloaer personal attention." ' - f

the documents found In the legation at
Caracaa relating to Mr. Loomis. I re
ceived a letter from Mr. Hay stating:
" 'Have - been greatly surprised and
pained In reading documents you sent
me.'
The following month he wrote me
these friendly words:'
"1 have always taken your part, not
only from peraonal liking, but from con
viction, of your merits, your ability,
your courage and your Integrity"
"From a high official or the stste oe-
partment I received a letter dated July

dent Roosevelt), stating!
"1 had a few words with Mr. Hay

"Everybody who knew Mr. Hay knows
he could not pnastbly have been a friend

on earth could have Induced him to de
nounce as' a traitor ' an American of

In conclusion. In order. to show Presi

I will simply quolo my lsst remark to
