The de tective who had charge of the In vestigation Into the alleged poisoning in this city, admits he Is puzzled by the strange case and unable to dis cover any motive. A discharged em ploye was first suspected, but that suspicion was sifted down and found that there was nothing In it. Many other clews were run down, but all without results. The police are not even ready to say Mrs. Stanford was poisoned at that time, Mrs. Stanford was 76 years of age. Mrs. Stanford was the widow of the late Senator Leland Stanford, of Cal ifornia, one of the richest men in the West, a promoter of the Union and Central railway projects, and one of the most prominent merchants and mining operators In San Francisco. In memory of his only son, Leland Stanford, Jr.; Senator Stanford, set aside $20,000,000 of his estate of $50,000,000 for the establishment of Leland Stanford university, at Palo Alto, Cal., but died before the insti tution was complete. Mrs. Stanford carried out his project and builded the institution on the exact lines laid out by her husband, and has been Its chief spirit since its opening in 1890. She was a strong-minded and prac tical woman and has managed the af fairs of the university with an Iron hand, causing the discharge of some of the most efficient professors ever brought lo the Pacific coast,, because they taught economics contrary to her belief and that Of her husband.

Not ho Many Taking Advantage of tlie Three Per Cent Rebate, Which Expires March 15 On March 1, 1904, $3,163.30 More Hod Been Paid in Tlian Has Been Paid This Year at Tills lime Officials Re lieve tlie Records Will Yet "Catch Up." At the close of business in the sheriff's office last night a total of $19,879.56 had been paid upon taxes for the purpose of securing the 3 per cent rebate. At that time the period during which the rebate may be se cured was Just half up, the time be- ; ing from February 15 to March 15. The total of the taxes to be collected this year is $222,173.27, and thus it is seen that a trifle less than 9 per cent has so far ben paid. In comparison with the manner In which the payments were made last year, they are coming rather slow' jthis year. At the close of business on the last day of February last year. $23,060.86 had ben paid and the re bate secured, thus Heating the pres ent record by $3,163.30. : According to Deputies Funk ' and Fowler, there has been less eagerness to secure the rebate this year than last, and payments have been appre ciably slower. This same condition Is reported from the Multnomah county office, and Is doubtless pro duced by the fact that money is gen erally tighter this year than last. However, the .of deals-of the office here say that the heavy part of the payments to secure the rebate comes rduring the , 15 days In March, and there is yet a. chance for the deficlen- rcy to be made up... , . , f- IRRIGATES. : 270,000 ACRES.
