Sfrnmshlp Orrson auil Clatsop "hlT f'ulIIUf La 1 1 or M rattier Cut In Twain and wrik. rout j i en m:o.i:i. Oregtntitiit. March W. About 8:15 last evening, a moat dis jistrous collision oueurrutl between the steamship Oregon while that ves sel whs on the way up the river, and the little steamer Clatsop Chiof. The result f th odlision was the loss of the lives of fcmr moil, tins Clatsop 'Chief and x kr-e scow, which the lattur stttnutet- had in tow at the time. This most unfortunate accident oc curred noar Willow bar, about 10 milofi aiaivtt Sc Hoieiia. Capt. William E. Mitctutll, muster of the Clatsop Chief, was interviewed last evening .soon after the arrival of the Oresjoii. and furnished the follow ing particiilais of the disaster: The Clatsop Chief whs on the way down the river, having iu tow a .large soou. When near Willow bur, Capt. Mitch ell, who was at the wheel, says he siiw the Oregon rapidly steaming up the river. His si-n.il lights, he stated, were burning. Seeing the distance and direction of the approaching steamer, Mitchell started to go on the port side. When the. vessel had ap proached a little nearer, the Oregon gave one whistle signifying that the Clatsop Chief should change her course and puss on the other side Capt. Mitchell says, on hearing the whistle, he jmt his wheel over hard. But before the Clatsop Chief could possibly pass the bow of the Oregon and clear herself, the latter steamer was on them and a collision was una voidable; a moment later and the shock came. The scow was on the side next to the Oregon. The steam er's sharp bow struck the scow mid ship, cutting her in twain like a knife. Passing through the scon, the steamer ploughed on, and striking the Catsup Chief about midway between stem and atom, cut her almost in two. Both crafts immediately filled and sunk. At the time of the fatal collision thore were thirteen men on board the steamer Clatsop Chiof and the barge. These men were oommitted to the mercy of the waters in a moment after the disaster, and wore struggling for their lives. The alarm was given just before the steamers collided, and the Oregon reversed her propeller and as (pMickly as possible was stepped: but she was under full headway at the time and could not be brought up for some distance. Boiits were lowered from the steamer as expeditiously as it was possible and ever)' effort made to rescue the imperilled men. Nine out of the thirteen men were saved from watery graves. The following are the names of the persons drewned: Henry Amnions, boss of the scow; Andrew Kay, fire man of the Clatsop Chief; John Son ny, a deck hand on the little steamer. The name of the fourth unfortunate man could not be ascertained. Amcng those rescued were Capt. Wm. E. Mitchell, master, and W. S. Holmes, engineer of the Clatsep Chief. Those rescued were taken on board the Oregon, and brought to this city. It was very dark at the time, and the bodies of the drowned were not re covered. To-day efforts will be made to recover the bodies of the lost. Fine Just received by AViA.

To-day the city assessor will com mence the distribution of the blanks to be filled out by our tax payers shnwiug a statement of the assessable property of the city. The municipal law requires that the assessor shall hand in his complete returns to the city council early in May, and antici pating that a strict compliance with the amended act will necessarily con sume much more time than formerly iiu completing the returns, he has com menced the distribution of blanks a mouth earlier than uasul. Thefollowini; extracts from the amended act. passed at the last session of our legislature, and approved by the governor, Oc tober '2t, 3 SSO, when it became law, set prominently forth the material mid important amendments now in force, viz: All projMjrty shall be valued by the assessor at its rue mine, and not at what it would bring at public auc tion or forced sale. Xo deduction for indebtedness shall be made without a sworn written statement from the party assessed, specifying name and residence of credi tor, nature of the debt, etc We recommend a careful perusal of the extracts embodying those amend ments to every tax payer in the city. "ft shall be the duty of the assessor to make a full and complete assess ment of ail taxable property, including a full and precise description of the larids,or lots so owned by such person therein named, which description shall correspond n ith the plan or plot of any town laid out or recorded, aim said lands or town lots shall be valued at their true cash value, taking into coiibiueration th improvements on the laud, etc., etc. True cash value slull be held and taken to mean the amount such prop erty would sell for at a voluntary sale made in the ordinary course of busi ness, and not what it would bring at public auction or forced side. It shall be the duty of the assessor tv deduct the amount of indebtedness, within the state of any person assess ed, from the amount of his or her tax able property, but no such indebted ness shall, in any case, be deducted unless it be real bona fide indebted ness due from the person assessed as principal debtor, and not on account of any contingent liability, as surety, endorser or otherwise; and in case of two or more parties as princiiKil debt or arj jfHiitly or severally liable for the payment oi any such indebtedness, neither of them shall be entitled to the deduction of any greater propor tion of it than the proportion such debtor bears to the whole number of of such debtors, to the effect that only the amount of the indebtedness shall be deducted in favor of all such debt ors, nor shall a deduction be made in favor of any person assessed unless he or she delivers V me assessor a writ ten statement, duly sworn to, specifiy ing the name and place of residence of the creditor, the nature of the debt, the names of other parties, if any, who are liable therefor, and which statements shall show that the debt, or portion thereof sought to be deducted has not been deducted in any other county or place in the state, from the assessment of such person for that year; and m case such statement shall be feund to be false to the knowledge of the party who made it, or that such party has willfully or recklessly made a false statement in such a case for the purpose of obtaining a deduction of indebtedness, such party shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and shall be liab'.e to the pnin6 and penalties there for.
