STATE TAX LEVY.
Governor Geer, Secretary of
State Dunbar and State Treasurer
Moore, acting jointly, on January
12th, fixed the state levy tax at G.3
mills, which, upon valuation of
$120,282,878, will raise $757,783.13.
Last year the tax was 5.7 mills,
and upon taxable property valued
at $133,533,557 the sum of $761,
143.39 was raised. This is the
highest rate of levy made in four
teen years, witn the exception of
1892, when the rate was 7 mills.
As explanation why the state
levy for 1900 is 0.6 mill higher
than it was in 1899, the Portland
Oregonian's Salem correeponeent,
Joseph L. Heed, say 8 in his Salem
letter:
"The higher levy this year was
due to the lower valuation and to
several other causes. First, under
the act of the last legislature abol
ishing the fee system, $55,000
must be paid in salaries to the
district attorneys of the several
districts. Formerly, these oflicials
were paid mostly in fees in the
counties. Second, three items
amounting to $15,000, which, on
account of presB of business had
been omitted from the estimate
made by the old board last year,
had to be met. These were: Com
pensation for rejected Oregon vol
unteers, $5000; replacing a build
ing of the agricultural college,
which had been destroyed by fire,
$25,000; to reimburse the commis
sion which represented Oregon at
the Omaha exposition, $15,000.
"A noticeable feature of the
levy is that MultomaL county, by
the reduction of valuations, will
pay $41,903 less than last year,
when it contributed $244,302."
Goyernor Geer, discussing the
question of relative valuations in
the various counties, said to the
Portland Evening Telegram:
, . -W9 1 1
"Unless gomeimng is clone in
the way of remedial legislation as
to the duties of assessors and the
grndual decline in the assessed
valuation of the property of the
state levy will soon reach ten
mills. This is not caused by an
expensive Btate government, for
we havo a system that hra reached
practically the maximum of
economy. As long ago as 1892
about $400,000 more, but the strife
anong county assessors to reach
the lowest possible estimate in
order to escape state taxation has.
considering the oaths they have
taken, reached a point that is sim
ply astounding.. When we had
state board of equalization that
litul sufficient power, as the legis
lature thought, to equalize these
discrepancies, and was elected by
the people for that purposp, the
total amounts returned each year.
and that in a Btate that is growing
right along, decreased with a do.
groe of regularity that was simply
appalling. The total in 1893 was
$158,000,000, in the next year $150,-
000,000, and the regular deoroase
was by millions, 144, 143, 134, 133,
until this year it is less than 120,
"Our neighboring Btate of Wash
ington has returned this year i
total of $229,000,000 or $110,000,
000, more thau Oregon, when
everybody knows that our Btate is
far in excess of Washington in
actual wealth.
"The difficulties in the matter
of equalizing the returns of the
assessors are illustrated by the
summary of ono of our principal
counties as returned to the secre
tary of Btate. There are headings
prepared for the amounts and
value of 'miles of railroad,' 'miles
of telegraph and telephone lines,'
uteauiboats, sailboats, stationary
engines, etc' and railroad rolling
Btock.' Instoiul of returning these
separately, as contemplated by law,
aud aa provided iu the printed
form, the miles of railroad bed and
telegraph and telephono linos are
returned in a lump sum, as to
value and as to miles. So is the
value- of Btcamboats, sailboats,
engines and railroad rolling
Btock! No board of equalization
on onrth could even begin to
'equalize' the values of railroad
rolling Btock, for instance, .nor of
telegraph and telephone lines, for
they are not returned separately.
Accordingly to the return there is
no way of knowiughow many niiloB
of railroad bed there are iu that
county, although the law requires
such return, nor of the value of
railroad rolling stock, for it has
been returned with the value of
steamboats in a lump sum!
"Of course this low valuation
would not cost the people anymore
for taxes if the low valuation were
uniform. But it is an injury to
the reputation of the state abroad
where the results alone are known
and the causes are not understood.
it must be said for the assessors,
however; that there has been a
partially developed public senti
ment that has, in a measure, justi
fied this method of undervaluation
evidently thinking that in some
way it made the burden of taxation
ighter. We cannot fool ourselves
in this matter much longer, and if
this ridiculously low valuation and
inequality will serve the purpose
of stimulating the next legislature
to investigate the question of se
curing fair assessments and to
provide a board of equalization of
three members elected by the peo
ple with power that will approach
arbitrary authority in the matter
of completing the work of partial
assessors, the people will in the
ong run have gained by the re
suit of it. There will be no ques
tion before the next legislature
that will compare in importance
with this one, and it is to be hoped
it will be successfuly met and
solved."

The
Lieutenant Tells of His Experience1
During Captivity.
Tbe released American prisoners were
barefooted and in rags when they ar
rived at Manila. Only one of the York
town's crew, Venville, ia unnooounted
for.
The Yorktown's men, who were res
oued with Lieutenant Qilmore, were W.
Walton, chief quartermaster; Yandoit,
sailmaker's mate; J. Ellsworth, ooi
awain; L P. Edwards, landsman ; A. J.
Peterson, apprentis; F. Anderson, lands
man; and S. Brieolez, seaman. At Baler,
J. Dillon and C. A. Mornsey, landsmeD,
were instantly killed; O. B. MaoDonald,
leaman, and E. J. Nyegard, gunner's
mate, were mortally wounded, and D. W.
Venville, apprentice, and O. W. Wood
burg, seaman, were seriously wounded.
oilmorb's story.
Lieutenant Qilmore made tha follow
ing statement to a correspondent of tbe
Associated Press :
"Tbe Filipinos abandoned us on tbe
night of December 16. We had reached
tbe Abalut river, near its aouroe, that
morning, end tbe Filipinos rafted us
over. We then went down the stream
along a rough trail, guarded by a com
pany of Filipinos. That night we were
separated from this guard, and another
company, armed with Mausers, was put
in obarge of na. I suapeoted something,
and questioned the lieutenant iu oom
mand. He said: (
" 'I bave orders from General Xiao to
shoot you all, but my conscience for
bids. I shall leave you here.'
"I begged him for two rifles to protect
us from savages, adding that I would
give him letters to the Amerioans, who
would pay bim well and keep him from
all barm. He refused this, however,
saying be woald not dare to comply.
Soon afterwards he left us with his
oompany.
"We bad eeen some savages in war
paint around na. and we prepared to
fight them with cobblestones, tbe only
weapons that were available to us. Tbe
next morning we followed tbe trail of
the Fillipino soldiers, feeling that it was
better to stick to them than be murdered
by savages, but we oould not catch up
with them. Then I ordered tbe men to
build rafts, in tbe hope of floating down
tbe river. It was a forlorn hope, but I
knew the river must empty into the sea
somewhere. I was so weak myself that
I did not expeot to get oat, but I
thought aome of the men oould.
"On the morning of Deoember 18,
while we were working on the rafts, tbe
Amerioans came toward us, yelling.
One of my men ahouted; 'They are on
as.' He was laabing a raft of bamboo. I,
however, knew it was not the yell of
savages, but the yell of Americans. Tbe
rescuing troops thought we bad Filipino
guards and called to us in English to lie
down so that they oould shoot the Fili
pinos. Tbat waa the finest body of
officers and men I ever bbw."
Lieutenant Qilmore oould not speak
enthusiastically enough about the 140
picked men who bad rescued him and
his party.
Tbe command spent the day in making
rafts. Colonel Hare thought Lieutenant
Qilmore too weak to live tbrotigh the
trip, but tbere was no alternative. They
shot maDV rapids. Ihe men losiug all
tbeir effects, and Lieutenant Qilmore
some valuable papers. Only 14 out of
37 rafts survived the flrat night's ex
perience, and 80 men were praotioally
unable to walk when Vigan wus reaobed.
Describing the Might from Benguet,
when tbe Amerioans approaohed, Lieu
tenant Gilmore said:
"The Filipinos, completely terrified,
left Benguet on Deoember 7. They hur
ried tbe prisoners from town to town,
often retraoiug tbe trail, not knowing
where tbe amerioans would attack
After being without food for almost
three days, they killed several horses,
and we lived on horse flesh for several
days. I did not have a full meal from
Deoember 7, until I reached Vigan. In
deed, tbe rescuing party lived largely
upon rice without aalt. There waa one
day when I was reduocd to chewing
grass and bark.
"While we were in the bands of Gen
eral Tino's men be issued an order that
any person aiding an American by food
or money should be treated as a orimi
oal. Oue oitizen of Viguo, Senor Vera,
waa probably killed for befriending aa
We would bave starved but for the kind
ness of some of the residents of Ihe
towns and some of the Filipino oolonels,
but others treated ns brutally. Wbere
ever tbere was a prison we were kept
there. Where there was no prison tbey
would lodge os in a oonvent. We Buf
fered greatly from waul of exercise as
well aa from lack of food
Lieutenant Qilmore, although tanned
and ruddy from exposure, ia weak and
nervous, showing tbe results of long
hardships. Hs epeaks warmly of Aguin
oldo, and very bitterly against General
Tioo. deolaring tbat while in the for
mer's jurisdiction he was treated splen
didly. but thai after he full iuto Tino's
bands, he suffered everything.
"The Filipino treatment of the Span
ish," said Lieutocaat Gilmore, "was
brutal m the extreme. The insurgents
had old grudges to wipe out Rg-tinst
them. Many talk about tbe reconoen
tradoa in Cuba, bat I have seen Span
iarda dying at Ihe rate of two or three
per day of starvation iu tbe hospitals at
Vigan. I bave seen Tagal officers strike
Spaniards ia the face with whips and
revolvers."
Lleuteuant Gilmore deoliued I speak
regarding political conditions, exoept to
say tbat be tbonght the insurrection
would last aa long aa there were any
Tagals left.
Among the prisoners arriving with
Lieutenant Gilmore were: F. J. Hubert,
Edward Burke and J. J. Farley, sailors
from Ihe Crdaoeta; Vou Gilen, of the
Baltimore; A. II Gordon and George
Hsckett, of Ihe Third infantry; Leland
Smith and Frauk Sloan, of the sigutl
corps; Harry Hubert, of Ihe hospital.

Martin Breonaa and James Ourrau, of
the Sixteenth infautry ; Aubert Bishop,
of the Third artillery, aod John O'Brien
and David Brown, civilians. Brown,
who was formerly a preaober in Hono
Iula, twice revealed to the insurgents
plots of tbe Amerioans to escape, in tbe
hope of gaining tbe good will of the
Filipinos. Tbe real of tbe party openly
aoouse bim of treaohery, and entertain
tbe bitterest feeling toward bim.
Charles Baker, of the Third artillery,

he beoame too weak to travel, and the
Filipino guards bayonetted bim in the

GOLD IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Washington olanteers Found
it in Ihe
Streams.
A son of Mrs. Julius Keithley, of
Heppner, and at one time a oompoaitor
on tbe Gazette, Charles B. Wyland, who
went to the Philippines aa a member of
tbe First Washington volunteers and re
cently returned with the regiment, baa
written a letter to a friend in Portland,
wbiob Contains several photographs
which are of publio interest. Extracts
from tbe letter are aa follows:
It appears to me that the people of the
Northwest do not realize the richness of
tbe region called tbe Philippine islands.

it was at his peril, for Filipino sharp
shooters were always lying in wait, and
wbeu be plunged into the refreshing
waters a suower of Mauser bullets would
spatter around bim. Only mudueus an
lizarda could tolerate that very long.
My sickness, which almmt pilled ma
under the baked sod ot Malate cemetery
came from drinking bid watr green
water. Ou eday about the middle o
April we covered 35 miles, chasing and
fighting instirrectoa, and, incidentally
burning their bouses aud destroying
everything iu sight. Hiving lost my

I oame upon a pool ot green stuff, alive
with wigglers. But it was wet, aud I
drank deep, not knowing when I would

Shortly after that I wis o impelled
to
go to the hospital with a severe oase of
so-called dysentery. The doctors laughed

After the regiment's return to Sun

procured an I look soma medicine that
wai guaranteed to kill anything that

seemed to bave tbe desired effect, for it
brought trom me a dead snako 11 inches

doubt about it. No worm, but a proper
snake. Ever sinoa then I have grown
better, and now weigh 169 pounds.
Mauy more ot the soldier boys have
drank from tbe same pool or similar
pools in Luzon, aod are dying from tbe
same cause, after being treated for
months for dysentery.

Of course, out in the interior they are
ignorant, aod tbeir olotbing is "ail",
but tbey are quick to learn, easy to lead,
bat bard to drive.
By tbe way, some ot their officers gave
our commanders some good pointera on
bow to flank tbe enemy. But the Fili
pinos can't etaud the American yell.
Sometimes they show wonderful oerve,
bat when tbey onoe get on the run, they
are "easy." But in a few days tbey re

The Uuited States soldiers who were
