A
1899
Work Will Probably Befla Next
Week Amended Assess- .
meat. La a.
(From Daily, .March 17th.)
County Assessor J. W. Hobart is
preparing to. take the 1899 assessment.
The work will probably begin next
week In earnest and will be prosecuted
until completed. The - deputies - asses
sor have not been named but will be
announced In a few days and assigned
to their fields of labor.
During the recent special and reg
ular legislative sessions - the assess
ment laws - were amended In several
respects. In order that; the various
deputies UBmeaaor may comply with the
provisions of the laws, as amended,
in making- this year's assessment. Mr.
Hobart has prepared the following
statement embodying the Important
changes, a copy of which will be fur
nished each deputy:
Section 2741. Every person, except
as provided in the succeeding section,
shall be assessed in the ' county in
which he resides when the assessment
is made, for all taxable personal prop
erty owned by him. Including all per
sonal .estate In bis possession or under
his control as trustee, guardian, exe
cutor or administrator; and where
there are two or more persons jointly
In possession, or having control of said
property In trust, j the same may be
assessed to either or all such persons
fully In possession, or hiving control
of said property in trust, but It shajl
be assessed in the county where the
same shall be if either of the parties
reside In such county. Note. Person
al property follows the person of the
owner and Is taxable at bis place of
residence, (Johnson v. City Council. S
Or. 13.) and this applies 'to property
held by an executor as such though
.the property may be at a place other
than which he. lives. (Johnson v, Ore
gon City 2 Id, 327.X
"Section 2742.-AIl goods, wares end
merchandise kept for sale In this state,
all stock employed In any of the me
chanic arts, and all capital and ma
chinery employed in any branch of
manufacture or other business within
the state, owned by a corporation out
of the state, or toy any person wheth
er residing in or out of the state,
shall 'be taxable In the county where
the same may ibe. either to the owners
thereof or to the person who shall have
charge or be' In possession of the
same.
"Section 2732. The personal property
of every householder to the amount of
$300. the articles to be selected by such
householder, shall be exempt from tax
ation. !
"Section 2733. A poll tax of one dol
lar shall be assessed upon every male
inhabitant of this state between the
ages of 21 and BO.years. except all ac
tive or exempt firemen who have been
members o any company t for a period
of one year preceding the assessment
of taxes, which tax shall' be collected
and used for county purposes. 1
".Section 84, Military Code All ac
tive members of the Oregon national
guard .' are herebv declared exempt
from all military, poll or road tax." -
Assessor Hobart says the average
taxpayer does not retain a correct In
terpretation of the term -"personal
property" and! as a natural conse
quence, the aggregate of such values
on the assessment rolls is not as largv
as it should be. Mr. Hobart cites the
taxpayers to the: definition of that
property sub-division as found in sec
tion 2731. title 1. chapter 17. of Hjll's
annotated laws of Oregon, the section
referred to reading as follows:-
"The terms 'personal . estate' and
personal property Shall be construed
to Include all houiehold furniture,
goods, chattels, oneys. and gold
dust, on hand or on deposit, either
within or without this state; all boats
and vesselswhether at home or
abroad, and all capital Invested there
in; all debts due or to become due
from solvent debtors, whether on ac
count, contract, 'note, mortgage or
otherwise; all public stocks, and stocks
or shares InTtll Incorporated compan
ies, and such portion of the capital of
incorporated companies liable to taxr
ation on their capital, as shall not be
Invested In real estate."
GAMBLING OF LONG AGO.
. A curious amount of ancient and
modern information has been brousht
togcthet by John Ashton-in his "His
tory of Gambling In England." It ap
pears in the old days, when the ages
were still what we call 'dark that the
gambler was under the full protection
of the law, if being required that his
game should be fair, ano httl more,
says the Kansas City Journal Front
137S until the latt century men were
arrested, convicted and punished for
using- "loaded" dice, matted cards r
other form of the similar imrb-ments
for converting games of chance into n
certainty. In these days even a bet of
the most ordinary kind: ncclves n
protection from the covtts. and cer
tain sorts of wagers., like those on
elections, feet lve srveie punishment.
But betting was not In violation of tha
common law. Lord Kenyon bavin i
held in 1790 that such wss the fact.
It was a matter of everyday life for a
gentleman, or any one who aspired to
the title, to play. A story of BeiU
Nash, a noted bean and player of his
day, tells that he oik e tjinght a not-1
earl, still In the first flush of youth,
the good cense cf abstaining from play
altogether. . Thy sat down of an eve
nlng to a game in' which Nash was
immeasurably the nobU man's superi
or, and the inevitable happened. The
earl lost his temper and bis money
which made it the better, for Nash.
Finally all that the earl had owned en
earth was in the hands of h.'s opponent,
lands, tenements, hereditaments; and
as the last stake, his horses and car
rlsge were gone. , Then, the lesson
taught to hs bitterest end. Nash gave
back an bis winnings, with the stipula
tion that he might have $25,000 when
ever he saw fit to ask for it. This
the nobleman gladly' acceded to. and
It la recorded that Nash made the de
mend after his lordship's death, upon
his heirs, and was pall the money
without a quibble. "

His Contemplated Visit to Cuba Is
" Not Abandoned.
New York, March IT. A special to
the Herald from Washington says that
Secretary Alger's "trip to Cuba has not
been abandoned, notwithstanding the
official statement he made a few weeks
ago. that on account of the pressure of
public business' he would be compelled
to remain in Washington. .
It is understood that the secretary
has arranged to go to Cuba about the
middle of nexj week. He will not be
accompanied y any members of the
senate and house military committees,
but he will be assisted . in his investi
gation of conditions of Cuba .and in
his Inspection of the troops by Mr.
Victor L Mason, his private secretary,
and several other gentlemen. : - -
