Portland's Assessment to He Raised to
,o,noo,oi)o County Assessor's De
cision. I'outj.ani), Or., May 22. The assessed
v.iliiation of rortlimil property this year
will liu at least $40,000,000. Assessor
MeDonoll authorizes thiB statement.
TIi'ih will bo satisfactory news to tlio city
officials, who have been counting; on u
raise in valuea of $10,000,000 to $15,000,
000, and tlio port of Portland commission,
which has been facing a yearly shortage.
This yuar it was $22,000 behind, and
nnothor $0000 added will brine; tho
HhortnRo tip to $28,000 in 1!)02. The city
iH restricted by charter to an 8-niill levy
for taxes, anil tho port of Portland to
three-twentieths of one mill levy for
general purposes.
In 1899 AfiHtiBHor Greenleaf cut down
tlio assessment to about $20,000,000,
rcBtiltiiiK in a Hhortngti in tho several
funds of tho city government, especially
the policu and firo departments, lie did
the Rfime thing in 11)00 and the legislature
helped the city out of itH dialetnina by
authorizing an extra two mills tax levy
this year, whiuli is now being collected.
Assessor McDonnll in speaking about
the assessment, fiaid :
"Everybody wants more money. 1 am
clearing up on personal pioperty and
improvements. 1 haye deputies out in
tho field wor.ung on acreage. J know
in a general way that 1 am noiiig to make
the assessment about $40,1)00,000 in the
city. If the usseiismeiit is raised, the
levy ought to go down that much. The
city charter provision restricting tho leyy
to eight mills was inserted with the
understanding that the itHHt'ssmeut would
be on a $10,000,000 baBie.
"J can't tell how much extra property
1 am going to pick up. There nro a good ;
many adjustments to bu made, and 1
cannot tell yet whether the principal
incroiiHe will bo in real estate or in mer
chandise. "There nro a great many buildings in
course of construction, especially in East
Portland. The nBsessment is made aa of
March 1st, ho can I aasesBS thin year only
buildings completed at or before March
1st, or so much of a building as was
erected by that datu. If Hturted March
1st, they are not assessable this year.
There will be many more to iibhohs next
year than this. It is remarkable the
umount of building that is going on. 1
was out in North Portland recently, and
saw houses being put up in ull
directions."

loeoonco of Mrs. McKinley is very rapid,
and she is faHt regaining her normal
Htrength. She was able to Bit up today
and read the papers. So marked is her
improvement that it iB very probable the
preBidential party will start for Wash
ington next Saturday. If no untoward
developments should occur it is thought
that Mre. McKinley will bo able to
endure the journey by that time.
At 1 p. in: Secretary Cortelyou issued
the following statement:
"Mrs. McKinley 'b phveiciune report
that she haH bad a thoroughly com

that lormer Secretary John G. Carlisle
would be preeont and act as temporary
chairman of tho meeting lust night iu
Coopor Union at which the Greater New
York Democracy wbb permanently organ
ized. He wae unable to attend, but
wrote the following letter which waa
read :
"It ia scarcely necessary to say that I
am iu full eympathy with every properly
directed movement to create an honeat,
elllclent aud economical administration
of local affairs, and thie, I am Baured,
ia the object Bought to be accomplished
by your organization, and its efforts are
not to be confined permanently to local
affairs. To secure this benelicial result
we can well afford to ignore for the
present all differencea of a common
ticket which will represent tho beat
elements and the highest interests of the
community at Urge.
"There are 3,500,000 people here with
their homes, tneir buaiueis, schools,
charitable institution?, i-ocial interests
nil dependent mainly upon the municipal
nuthoritieB for protection, end it is no
exaggeration to say that takincnll things
into consideration tlio administration of
tho national government is of less im
portance to the citizens of New York
than the administration of tho local
government. They can have the ad
ministration of tlfeir municipal itfhurs if
they really want it; but it cannot be
secured by dividing the forces of reform
and wasting tteir strength in contests
among themselves."

SHAMROCK I
IS WINNER
Old Boat Wins From New by Half
Minute Over Triangular Course
Conditions Favorable For Fair
Trial.
London, May 21.-4:21 p. in. Sham
rock I won from Shamrock II by barely
half a minute.
ItVDK, iBle of W ight, May 21. The two
Shamrorks started today over a course
as nearly as possible similar to the wind
ward and leeward course of the contests
for the America's cup. Starting from
No Man Fort, the conree was laid fifteen
miles to windward and return. A
moderate varying breeze of 7 to 12 knots
was blowing, and the water was smooth.
The racers had a preliminary as they
beat out from Cowes Roads for the start
ing line. Shamrock I started half a mile
ahead, but the challenger, after four
long tacks, closed up aud stayed in the
road to leeward holding a better wind
and traveling faster. She luffed out to
windward in magnificent style, and when
she met Shamrock I had to give way in
order to avoid a foul. Captain Wringe,
to Shamrock I should have yielded, but
beheld on, and Captain Sycamore was
forced to round up iu the wind to clear
her.
The Erin was awaiting the boats at No
Man Fort, and started after Shamrock II
came round ahead of Fife's boat, and,
immediately after the signal was given,
led her out to a fine start, having an ad
vantage of probably half a minute. They
went off beating to windward on short
tacks, with tbechallenger pointingratber
the better, going fast and increasing her
lead a little on every tack. The wind
hauled around a little southerly, but
held fair and steady, and the racers
slipped along smoothly and fast. The
weather conditions were such, however,
as to raise doubts if they could finish
the '.50-mile course within the ox. hours
allowed in cup matches. The conditions
seemed to suit tbechallenger admirably.
She pointed higher and footed faster than
the old boat, aud gradually edged out to
windward and went ahead. Once clear
of the island point they bad a few cross
tacks iu eiiore, and Shamrock I dropped
in to the wake of the leader aa they fetched
oil'.
II. M. S.
Shamrock II 12 34 10
Shamrock 1 12 30 2
This allowed nearly two minutes gain
for the challenger in an hour's sailing,
and part of the time Shamrock II sailed
with a jib topsail and looked as though
she had the whole game in hand.
Shamrock I overhauled and passed
Shamrock II on the run home.
