TAXED THE PORTLAND
MINING COMPANY
The City Assessor Of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
Adds Nine Million Dollars 10 the Taxable
Property Of the City.
THE ACTION OF The CITY WILL
PRECIPITATE A Law SUIT

Council Bluffs, Ia, March 5.--City
Assessor Everest included in his as
sessment roll the property of the Port
land Mining Company, whose head
quarters are in this city, but whose
property holdings are in Colorado. The
Iowa code makes provision for taxing
corpoi5 tionss4Mvsng their principal
place of business within the state. The
local representative Of the company re-
fused to make a statement of it's taxa
BILE property and the assessor decided
to assess the company on the basis of
it's alleged actual value, $9,000,000, as
provided by law. The recent Burns-
Doyle suit for the possession of a mill
lion dollars worth Of stock in the
Portland Company, the assessor says,
formed the basis for his calculations on
the value of the property. The action
of the city is expected to precipitate a
law suit.

Short ShrIft Is Made In Ssrla With Revolutionary
Attemnt

Belgrade, Servia, March 5.-An ex-
traordinary attempt to start revolu-
ton was made this morning in the
frontier town of Shabab by a raid un-
der the leadership of Alavantics, a re-
lative of Prince Karageorgevich, pre-
tender to the Servian throne. Alavan-
tics was killed and his adherents ar
rested.
Alavantics, with a handful Of follow
ers, arrived at Shabab from Mitrowicz
wearing the uniform of a general of
the Servian army, and called to the
frontier guard to follow him. The
latter, not suspecting anything wrong,
accompanied the general to the town
hall, where Alavantics ordered the fire
department to join him. This motley
procession proceeded to the gendarmer-
lie barracks, where Alavantics paraded
the gendarmes. Two Of the latter how
ever, whose suspicious were aroused,
escaped and apprised their comman-
der, Captain Nikolics. The latter. when
he arrived, called on Alavantics to
produce some document as authority
for his actions, whereupon the would
be revolutionist leader fired a revolver
at Captain Nikolics, slightly wounding
him; Nikolics promptly shot Alavan-
tics whose followers were then arrest

marans and Vessels, the Boer repre-
sentatives who came to the United
States from Europe for the purpose of
comforting with the secretary of state
were received by Mr.. Hay this morning
as private citizens and not in an official
capacity. The principal object of the
delegates was to induce the United
States government to do something to
terminate the struggle in South Africa.
They were not very specific as to what
they wanted, and apparently would be
satisfied with the simple tender of good
offices on the part Of the United States
The secretary heard them attentively,
promised to consider their representa-
tions and do whatever he could to
ameliorate conditions in South Africa.
Later Wolmarans and Vessels, accom-
panied by DR.. Frederick Mueller of the
Orange Free State, were received by
President Roosevelt, and remained
with him about fifteen minutes. Roose-
welt listened attentively to what they
had to say, and informed them that
this government will not interfere in
the struggle.

Who Shall Bridge Canals on Private
Property?

An interesting case has been appealed
from a justice of the peace court at
Roswell to the district court for Chaves
county, which is to determine who
shall bridge irrigating canals on pri-
vate property. The case was listed as
a damage suit in which Clements and
Hurd sought to recover damages from
W. G. Urton for obstructing an irriga-
ting ditch through Mr.. Urton's farm.
The evidence showed that bridge
which had been placed there by the
former owner of the ditch, the Roswell
Land and Water Company, had become
unsafe and Mr.. Urton has asked Mr..
Hurd to have it replaced. This Hurd
refused to do and Urton thereupon con-
structed a passageway Of clay and
straw over the canal, obstructing its
flow. Hurd thereupon started the dam
age suit. Justice Of the Peace Lea as
sessed the damage at 81 and costs and
Urton promptly appealed to the district
court

ue, adjoining the residence property of
Major Fred Muller on the east and the

Denver, Colo, March, 5.--A special to
the Times from Telluride says: The
weather today is warm and hazy and
more snow is expected within day or
two. About twenty-four men are work
ing at the Liberty Bell mine and on the
trail. One crew is clearing the trail
between the curve station and the mine
another crew is clearing place to build

will not have to come to town until all
the bodies are recovered.
1t was reported here last night that
there were seven men In the Ingram
basin and nothing had been heard from
them since the slide. 1t may be possible
that the men are safe and afraid to
