County Is worth More.

Oregon City.--Assessor J. F. Nelson
has completed the assessment of
Clackamas county property for the
1904 roll. The aggregate of property
valuations, represented by the roll, Is
approximately $1O25O,OO0, or an in
crease of 100000 over last years
roll. It is not expected that any ma
terial changes will be made in the
assessed valuations by the board of
equalization, which will be convened
on Monday, August 20. This is the
earliest date for years that the assess
ment of property in this county has
been completed.

Raise Timber Land Values.

st. Helens.-The assessment roll
for Columbia county will be complet
ed and ready for the board of equal
ization in few days. 1t will show an
increase of about one-third in the
assessed valuation of the county. The
valuation of the timber land has been
raised from $3.50 to SO and $5. This
bears heavily upon the nonresident
landowners, but 1t is not nearly as
high as in Clatsop county, and Is fai
below the actual cash value of the
property. The assessment of the
Benson Company amounts to $12S,0OG
and the cash value is certainly three
times that amount.

MILLIKlN'S FINE.
Fire Headquarters Man Tried
on An Incomprehensible
Charge and Awarded $40


Charles AIillikin. the Custodian Of Fire
Headquarters and an old-time fire-fghter,
was up before the Board Of Fire Com
missioners at Il special session yesters
day on a charge that greatly puzzled him.
In all his thirty years experience in the
Fire Department. even long before it be-
came paid department. Millikin had
never before been ''yauked' up on
charges.
He stood like one dazed when arraigned
before the Board yesterday afternoon.
The Commissioners looked very solemn,
and Chief Conway very stern, and after
going through trial in the regular way
on a charge that Miilikin still failed to
comprehend, President zumbush gravely
announced that Millikin was fined $40
Milikin thought this strange proceed
ing, as delinquent members of the de-
partment always are fined so many days
pay. He thought he had misunderstood
the sentence, and, with his knees shifting
each other, he stood thinking out to what
extent ten days pay locked from his
December salary would interfere with
his preparations for a New Yearscelebra-
ton.

TRUSTS FALL OFF
c Corporation Fees for 1904
Were Sl2O, BOB. 62 Less
Than in 1903.
Especial 70 .'The Jersey city News. .,

TRENTON, Dec 81, 1904-When
the business of New Jerseys corporation
department at the state house closes to-
day for 1904 it will show decrease of
$120, ,555.62 in State fees for issuing char
ters, compared with the same business
in 1908.
Not counting today's business, the to-
tai number of corporations chartered for
the year was 1.63O, for which the State
received in fees $14S, ,592. The fees for
1903 amounted to s269. .14762. and the
number of companies chartered was
zoos. The business for December this
year showed an Improvement over the
same month last year. Last year the
months fees were $9,991.50, while this
month they will amount to $4,000.
The number of corporations filing GER
tifcates of dissolution and the number
of large companies reducing their cap
ital stock is increasing each month. Yes
terday two concerns were dissolved, one
company reduced its capital from 81 ,500,-
000 to $4,000, and another made re-
duction from $2,O000O0 to $soo,00O
These figures are in line with the state
ment made by Attorney General Nc
Carter before the equal tax commission,
December 20. wherein he said: Il am in
formed by the Secretary of State that
there has been decided decrease in the
formation of ordinary-no extraordinary
corporations, and marked increase in
the number of dissolutions of the same
kind of companies. OF course, the reven-
ue of the State has suffered, and in my
judgment is bound to continue to increas-
ingly suffer on this account, and instead
of our being able to rely on the income we
have received for the past ten years
from miscellaneous corporations, be-
lieye it will materially decrease in the
near future"

One Of the ancient customs connect
ed with Swedish funerals was to place
small looking glass in the coffin Of
an unmarried female, SO that when the
last trump sounds she might be able
to arrange her tresses. 1t was the
practice for Scandinavian maidens to
wear their hair flowing loosely. while
the matrons wore it bound about the
head and generally covered with some
form Of cap; hence the unmarried wo-
man was imagined as awakening at
the judgment day with more untidy
locks than her welded sisters and
more III need OF glass. w estminster
