In the last five years the expense
of running the offlcu of County Asses
sor B. I). Slfcler has Increased 199 per
cent. An .nspectlon of the county audi
tors semi-annual report, recently filed,
.shows that during the first six months
of the present year It has cost the
taxpayers of Multnomah county $16,474
to carry on the business of the county
assessor, the highest previous expense
In a similar period of time being $11,746,
and that
of 1907
This generous outlav
money
was fur the last six months
of the taxpayers'
shows in a still more strlKing
Ho-nt when h comparison Is mane wnn
the cost of other county offices. It Is
a noticeable fact that in the last five
years the Increased expense for the
sheriff, the county clerk and the tax
collector runs about 50 per cent for
each of these offices. The cost has
therefore grown about four times as
fast for the assessor as for the other
offices named The basis of comparison
of 1903 and 190S.
Of 1903 and a-UX.
Nearly all of the big expense that Is
beginning to attract attention to the
assessor's office comes under the head
of salaries. For the first six months
of 1908 $14,864.10 Is charged up for
salaries. There Is a $412 item for fur
niture and the rest Is for stationery.
The cost of the furniture, a little over
$400 is the onlv unusual expense out
Of the routine, but it must he borne in
mind that other offices have also bought
furniture from time to time, so even
that should not be deducted in making
comparison.
Rev Dnties for Assessor.
The new law has Imposed upon the
assessor the dntv of writing the tax
roll, a duty heretofore performed by
the countv clerk, but the cost of doing
this work In the past has rarely been
more than $900. This expense Is dis
tributed through the year, and the
greater part of 1t would normally ap
pear in the last six months of each year.
The story 'of the assessor's office is
completely told In the accompanying
table, compiled from the semi-annual re
ports of the countv auditor. Figures
are given by six-month periods for the
reason that only the figures for the first
six months of 1908 are available, and
the comparison with other offices Is
thus mane as fair as possible. The of
fices given are the ones in which the
largest expenditures of public money are
made, where the deputies are numerous
and the growth of business lias been
approximately on a par with the growth
of work In the assessor's office. It will
,be seen that while the other offices have
snown a sieany increase in com, ins
outlay has come In normal fashion,
while the assessor's office shows large
leaps that are not apparently accounted
for by ordinary arithmetic.
In tha accompanying table the ex
pense of the tax collection department
of the sheriff's office Is given separate
from the sheriff's office proper, which
Is shown In another column. The tax
collection department la the only one
in which the expense for one half of
the year is materially larger than for
the other half, this difference being
due to the great rush while most of
the taxes are being paid, from January
to April.
Sllffhtly Lower This Month.
The Julv expense of the assessor's
office was $2,450.36. the figures for
the month having just become avail
able. This shows an average plight 1 y
below thHt for the previous six months,
biu if this average Is maintained the
cost for the last six months of the year
will be nearly $15,000. making a total
for the year of $31,000. In 1903 the
last year before the election of Stgler,
the cost for the vear was a little over
$11,000. In the first year of Slgkr's
administration It rose to $17,400.
Next January the salary of the as
sessor" will be Increased from $3,000
to $4,500 per year by operation of the
new law, the beginning of his ne,w term.
The adoption of the amendment chang
ing the date of the general election
from June to November extended the
term of the assessor, as well as most
of the other countv officers. So this
Increase In the cost of the office will
not show until next year.
RABBIT SHINNED UP A TREE
AND COYOTE STARVED TO DEATH
There is scjdrrm . a day passes that
N. K. Clarke, manager of the Cornelius
hotel, does not spring something new.
This time he was contenting himself
with discounting one of Ian Sullivan's
famous stories of the wonders of the
sea. While Sullivan, who is at the
Portland hotel, contents himself with
telling stories of whales that have
drowned themselves and of a man eatch
itiR several hundred ducks Just be
cause thev grew foolish and stuck their
bills through a fish net and swam away
with It, Clarke told one Inst night that
discounted nil of these.
It was about a rabbit that caught a
covote. Kverybody who has lived in
Oregon, especially eastern Oregon,
knows how coyotes hunt a rabbit; how
the parlnhs of the desert hunt In pairs
and keep chasing the poor, foolish rab
bit round and round until he falls an
casv prey to the ravenous coyotes.
"You see," began Clarke, "this rab
bit must have seen the game played
before. The coyotes caught him out
side his bole, according to the approved
fashion and one lay down at the open
ing while the other pursued the rabbit
Well, away they
frightenel out of
went, the poof rabbit
his wits and the coy
ote with a hideous grin Indicating his
supreme contempt for the rabbit's
chances.
"As the circle commenced to grow and
the rabbit had neared the point where
the bend was to be made for the hume
run. the rabbit shinned up a tree."
Shinned up a tie?' yelled several
of the spectators. '
"Yes, sir, just shinned up a tree,"
replied Clarke.
"Oh, come off. Who ever heard of
a rabbit who shinned up a tree?"
"Well, this rabbit shinned up a tree,
find the coyote just stood and looked
foolish. Yes. sir, that coyote looked
plumb done up. His1 game hadn't panned
out the way ho expected and there he t
was a good long distance from his com
panion who was waiting at the hole
for the rabbit to return when he could i
spring upon him." , I
"Well, what happened next?" asked j
the listeners, anxious to hear the storv.
"Why the rabbit lust waited until tl..
coyote starved to death and then went
and dug another hole. You see ho didn't
want to take chances with the other
coyote."
The crowd adjourned to a place where
the man In white serves anything but
nature faking decoctions.

For dramatic episodes and daring
feats of mountaineering the Ma
sama outing to Mount St. Helens,
which terminated with tha return of
the Portland party lust night, probably
eclipses any previous outing enjoyed by
this well-known club of mountain climb
ers. ' t "i
The two week ot forest' life on the
shores of Spirit lakef t the .base of that
beautiful snow peak, was notable for lis
mingling of pl.niiint merry-making and
peril. The hazardous climbs over
crevassed lee slopes and sleep rock hurl
ing lava fields, alternated with pictur
esque scenes at the evening camp fires,
where comic opeui m tn ,if a highly orig
inal nature, (mm of the events of the
day, and Interspersed with witty stories,
verses, ami honmois, made the forest
gloom resound with peals of laughter
and Incontrolhihle mirth.
First among the thrilling adventures
of that memorable outing was tho heroic
rescue work done by the Maaamas in
response to a call for help from u neigh
boring camper. Three men, strangers to
the club, but encamped near them on
the shores of .Soli It lake, had ascended
the mountain on the north side, intend
ing to descend mi the opposite or south
side. About dark on Tuesday. August 4,
shortly after the nrrlval of the Ma
mmal in enmp, one of these (limbers,
Ferry Olesmi of Little Falls, Wash.,
came Into camp, pale and exhausted,
and reported an accident to his "part
ner." John Anderson, who had been
struck by a falling rock soon after leav
ing the too of tin? mountain, and had
been curried down by Olusoh to tho
timber line on the other side of the
mountain, nnd there left In charge of
the third member of the party, Hanson,
while Meson circled the mountain, over
steep canyons, crags and mountain tor
rents, till he at last reached the Mi
zama camping ground. where he felt
sure he could lind gallant men to aid
him in the work of saving tho lift! of
his friend.
Rescue Party Starts.
Although (Meson was so overcome
with fatigue that be was hardly able
to talk, some scanty Information was
gathered concerning the whereabouts
f his companion. In a few moments a
party of seven volunteers was organized
for the work ot rescue 1 here was no
time wasted in unnecessary prepara
tion. Some of the men were even with
out coats, sweaters or ItohnntlM In their
shoes. No eatables to sp, nk of were
carried for their own use As they In
tended to spend the night tramping they
preferred to travel light, without blan
kets, nrovisions or pack of any kind.
Their only thought was for the safety
and quick relief of the Injured man, and
for him they carried nourishing food
and an Improvised litt'-r made from a
piece of canvas supported by alpen
stocks. s nightfall descended upon the moun
tain the seven men strode forth into
the darkness. The personnel of the
rescue party was as follows: C. K. For
svthe of Castlerock. Wash, captain;
Carlos A. Fennlngton. Seattle; Rev. Wil
liam J. Douglass. Portland: Herman K.
Doerlng. Portland; Raymond Caseheer,
Castlerock. E. (ieortre Williams, Spirit
Lake; Luther II. Dickens, Taconia. Of
these men, Williams, whose home was at
the base of the mountain, was of great
assistance, because of his familiarity
with the various routes to th.; summit,
which enabled him to act as guide.
Traveling over the wild, uninhabitable
ridges, rockv cliffs and densely wooded
mountain slopes, without lanterns or
moonlight, except for a brief Interval,
the rescue party circled the mountain
and headed for what is known as the
Lewis river canyon, where they sup
posed the Injured man was. .On the
lookout for the fire which had been'
lighted as a signal by 'he companions
of the Injured man, tho rescue party
was misled sometimes hy the patch of
starlight rmjn distant snow field. About
midnight, however, a true camp fire was
sighted bv Forsythe on a high ridge to
the west.
The interminable network of steep
canyons that lay between was passed
and at 2 a. m. they rrnne upon two
Mazamas. FTimols Roneflel and C. W

surprise, in a little nooln tho rocks
Just above the snow field, and seeing
at a glance nat 'hey would never be
found in this hidden spot by the rescue
rinrtv. which thev- presumed would set
out In search of them, they ascended
a hieh rldee about a mile to the cast
and there built a large fire to guide the
rescuers.
The Rescue.
Carrying heavy packs of wood on
their backs for camp fire, with Peneflel
to iruide them, they hastened to the
aid of Anderson, reaching him about

exclamation of pain came during the
I terrible journey over precipitous ice

had traversed In circling the mountain.
The Hoyerdans Return.
The man was placed In the canvas

i that purpose, and a stretcher was made
of this by means of alpenstocks. About
4 30 a. m. as daylight approached, the
ascent was begun from their camp at
