of a Jury trial were observed.
The case was tha't of the
Mount Hood Railway A Power
company to condemn a right of
way through land owned by
Nanoy A. Roberts and others.
In a case of this kind a jury to
fix the damages is necessary,
and two judgments were agreed
to be enough. The railway's
right of way man testified as
to the value of the right of way.
The written verdict was then
handed to the Jurors and signed
by one of them as foreman. It
fixed the damages at $1,200;
REPLY TO MR. SIGLER
A. Q.-jtosUifht, Candidate for Assessor,
Answers Zastter Published Yesterday,
Mr. Sigler. candidate for reelection
as assessor, has at last honored me by
replying to my letters, as long as
addressed such letters to him he Ig
nored them. When I addressed them
to the people and sent them to their
homes he began to take notice.
I charged Mr. Hlsrler with having
roaae narsn assessments against tne be
longings and household furniture, such
as cooKlnr stoves, etc.. of Door DeODle.
while he exempted from taxation the
ornately decorated furniture which went
to make up the value of the many sa
loons about town. To the first charge
ne maxes no reoiy. evidently not con
sidering it safe to deny a fact which Is
known to so many. To the latter chargo
that he has exemtited paloons by the
dozens, he replies by stating that he has
taxed tnem up to tne Drawers, wnicn
explanation Is a fairly safe one as lonu
as people do not know whether It is truu
or not.
A olose examination of the taxroll
fails to bear out Mr. Sigler in his asser
tion. For instance, the Wetnhard Brew
ing company is assessed on the tax rolls
for exactly S3. 600 for office furniture
and not one dollar more and it is sup-
Sosed to own or control 72 saloons,
urely Mr. Sigler does not expect any-
ooay to Deiieve mat i3,ouv covers an
the furniture in Wei n hard's brewery
and 72 saloons, and It doesn't.
Where Is the furniture of these 72
saloons and why Is it not taxed?
The Gambrtnue Brewing company is
credited with owning or controlling 26
saloons, and on the tax rolls it Is not as
sessed for one dollar's worth of furni
ture or fixtures of any kind eltner for
Itself or anybody else. The Northern
Brewery company Unto Star Brewing
company) and the Portland Brewing
comuany are eaually as barren of fur
niture and fixtures as far as the taxrolis

are wary In the pursuit or them, not
even a hat rack to hang their virtue on,
Those are but a few examples of dozens
and dozens of such cases.

by me handed In her own statement for
1400 for furniture. He does not say
that this or any other poor woman naa

sign a statement, such as suits him un

ment was made before he bought his

unauestlonably did own at that time per-

amount or nis assessment, ana mis xar.
R I trier does not' deny. The single in
stance, as I said, Is not thl material
thing. The point Is. and Mr. Sigler does
not and cannot truthfully deny that
either, that the personal property of the
rlfh la assessed at a vastly lower per
centage than the personal property of
the poor.
An to, automobiles. Mr. Stgler's de
fense Is that they were not on the
auditor's list till after March 1. In
other -words. If an automobile ' owner
takes out a city license on March 2.
Mr Hlrler holds that he ought not to
be assessed for It, though he may have
owned It months before. The riding
season does not begin till after March 1.
This point an easy way to escape as
sessments which the owner Motorist
has known how to take advantage of.
