Some Differences of Opinion
but They Get Together
in the Finish.
RAILROADS GET NOMINAL ASSESSMENT
And the People viii Have to Make up The
Difference When They Walk up to The
Treasurers Office to PAY.

County assessor, Of Washington state
will meet in convention here thi, week.
The public will watch their delibera
tions with deep interest The over
tn discover what has been done to bring
about more equitable adjustment Of
the tax burdens.
1t is rumored already that the rail
road managers, realizing the depth OF
popular Indignation on this subject and
knowing the outrageous tavOrS they
have enjoyed over the general taxpayer,
have directed their agents to advocate
Il trtling advance in the assessment on
last year was $500 per mile, which
is less than the gross earning of the
same railroads per mile for one year,
and about one tenth of the true value
of the property. 1t is reported now
that some OF the assessors are advO-
eating normal advance in the rateiO f
assessment to 5000 per mile and some
are suggesting that 5000" would be
about right
TO check prairie and forest fires, men
often resort to timely:lbacktire. The
people of this state will not..be decided
by "backfire" movements against this
popular demand for. just taxation of the
railroads.
The owners of these roads hold them
at about $50, 900 per mile, and the law
of this state directs that all property
be assessed at it's full and true value.
1t is true the assessors have fallen
into practice of assessing other
property at about 60 per cent of its true
value, but that does not afford the
slightest reason why railroad property
should be rated at a tenth of it's true
value.
Law and justice demand that all
taxable property in this state be taxed
alike. Since we are assessing general
property at 60 per cent we. ought to
assess the railroads at TO per cent

IT IS AN OUTRAGE.

The decision OF the assessors to
value first elias, railroad track in this
state at s11392 per mile is an outrage
on other taxpayers. No milder word
would express it. The railroad, are
really worth 10 times that sum.
by their own statments, the first
class railroads in thi, state are earn
ing gross $500 per mile. The assessors
ought at least to have had the decency
to set value on the railroads Us high
as their annual earnings.
If they imagine, though, that the
public Is not aroused to the rank
injustice of their discrimination. they
are IA lot of badly mistaken men. The
public is well aware that the railroads
are escaping the just payment of mil
lious of dollars.

EXPERIENCE WITH A RATHER? ? IN BED
Story Of Their visit to Ruby City and the
Okanosan Mines as Told by A.
Mires for The Dawn

We had nothing for breakfast, so
arose early and hurried on our way.
Only few miles and we suddenly came
to the brink of the hill forming the
hiph bank of the Okanogan river. We
were not long in making our way down
the mountain, and across the river TO
Pard Cummings where we got tine
breakfast of ham and eggs, and stopped
and rested till noon. Here we met my
old friend, Jim Byrnes, who had come
down from Ruby City on horseback to
meet the teams with his liquors and
saloon outfit. c. A. Pressey was
freightiug in for him and had then
been on the road from Elllensburg for
fifteen days. J. L. Brown had just
started stage line between Ellensburg
and Ruby and during the forenoon be
came by. Our team was grow
ing weary and Byrnes suggested that
one OF US ride his saddle horse back to
Ruby, some 16 miles distant. via the
new road lately constructed by p c.
McGrath. We readily acceeded to the
this arrangement. thinking it would
relieve our team of portion of its
load. | asked Kaufman which he
would prefer to do, drive the team or
ride the horse? He chose the horse.
For mile the road from Alma leads
up steep hill. Thinking only of get
ting to our journeys end, proceeded
with the team up the hill, not looking
back until near the top, when turning
to see how Kaufman and the horse
were progressing, was surprised to see
them at least half-a-mile back down the
road coming at a snails pace. Near the
top OF the hill, we were instructed to
turn to the left, leaving the main trav-
eled road and following the new route.

SAD TALE OF LOST WEALTH.
Woman Once Rich and BenevO-
lent in Need of NeceSSarieS.

Mrs. Jane Abraham, widow of
James Abraham. whose generous
aid made the building OF the
beautiful Centenary Methodist
Episcopal Church and the Sunny
side hospital in East Portland
possible, was compelled to ask
the county for financial help this
morning says the Telegram OF
June 3. Mrs. Abraham is now
about 50 years old and is bed1id-
den, aud all she has left of the
once great estate of her husband
are two houses. One of these
is rented for SIS month and she
lives in the other, No. 80 East
Seventh street, with nurse, who
has been attending her for some
time pas'. The rental of the
house has been sufficient to pay
all expenses until lately, when
the condition of the aged pioneer
became worse and she required
extra attention. Yet all she ask
ed was S. month and this snp
was readily granted her by the
County Court.
Mrs. Abraham and her husband
were among the pioneers of Port
land
They subscribed literally to the
fund for building the Centenary
Church aud also to the Sunny
side Hospital. which was con-
Quoted by the Methodist Episco-
pal Church for a number of years.
Litigation considerably reduc-
ed the size of their estate, and
when Mr.. Abraham died on Feb
ruary 23 1893, the total value of
all their property was placed at
$25, 900.
The claims against the estate
in 1893 amounted to approximate
! ly $40, 900, the largest being for
! $40, 500 on promissory note
held by Centenary Church. Lit
igation ensued from these claims
ate up the rest of the fortune, and
all that the widow has left is two
houses. The principal part of the
litigation was by the Methodist
church for the collection of
the gift obligations above. After
the monev had been forced from
the widow, and she was reduced
to sheer want the tender solici-
tude of the church in their "dear
sister in the Lord" ceased. Yet
the church, thanks to her bene-
factions is now in afluent circum-
stances. and the bed-ridden widow
is forgotten. It tseems truly a pa
thetic story.

Railroads in Alaska.

According to the statement of
its vice president ard general
manager, the Council City &
Salmon River Railroad of the Sc
ward Peninsula, Alaska, is built
on a grade composed OF gold mug
gets, gravel and ice.
The road is built across a toll
erably level piece of country, a
large portion of which is swampy.
The grading was practically all
done by a steam shovel, the gravel
and dirt being lifted out of the
water and dumped ahead Of the
end of the track on which the
machine was built. After being
piled up the grade soon froze solid
and has so remained ever since.
1t will never thaw out entirely,
Mr.. Dickinson says, and is a firm
roadbed, once constructed. Gold
nuggets were picked out of the
dirt in great quantities. The
railroad is an infant in mileage,
being only IS miles long at pres
ent, but is building to Council
City, s. miles from the starting
point at Dickson, at the mouth
of Salmon River, near Nome.
1t has the distinction of being the
first standard-gauge railroad in
Alaska, and is equipped with
modern rolling stock and locomo-
tives. J. Warren Dickson is the
vice president and general man
ager, and was in Portland last
week acquainting local traffic rep
resentatives with the route and
its connection. Mr.. Dickson says
that the line will ultimately ex-
tend for distance of 1900 miles,
tapping rich region OF the in
terror with its branches and con-
Meeting future commercial centers

seriously injured. Thirty houses
were smashed into kindling wood
in the city, and reports from the
path of the storm continually add
to the tale Of damage. For ten
miles the storms course has been
traced by path as cleancut as
though moved by some titanic
reaper. Telegraph wires are down
in the storms path and the news
is meager.

Killed a Rattlesnake.

Lancaster Herald: Rob and Will
Meier, sons of Mr.. and Mrs. Gotleib
Meier of town of Ellenboro, are two
of the pluckiest youths in Grant coun-
ty. Their ages are 5 and respective
ly, but when they encountered a
vicious rattlesnake on their fathers
farm Thursday, the youngsters dis
played more pluck than boys of twice
their age. The little fellows had
nothing in the shape of a weapon, but
hunted around the locality and dis
covered an old axe, with which they
despatched the ugly reptile, cutting
him in twain, and each picked up a
portion of the trophy and carried II
to their parents, who displayed no
little anxiety upon learning of their
children's adventure. His snakeship
had seven rattles.
