Portland, or, Aug. 5.--That II will be
impossible for the Russian prize court
TO prove that any OF the flour consign-
ments from Portland shippers seized on
the Portland Asiatic liner Arabia were
intended for contractors with the Japa-
nese government or were In any way
intended for the use OF the army Of
that nation and that consequently the
interests OF local shippers win be de-
Tended by the United States govern
mcnt on the ground that the seized
goods are not contraband OF war Is the
opinion expressed among Portland ship
ping men and other well Informed au-
thorities today. United States Senator
John II. Mitchell declares that It Is a
positive fact as far as his advices go
that none Of the conslgnments from
here were intended for any contractor
Of the Japanese government and that
II the United States government acts
upon the assumption that goods con-
signed to private interests do not cons

told by the man was that he was
waiting for a freight train to come
along, and being tired and exhausted
he sat down on the track until one
would appear. After awhile he dropped

he owoke at the side OF the track and
saw people bending over him. AS the
railroad disclamed responsibility the
unfortunate fellow was turned over

COUNTY TAX LEVY.
Likelihood That 1t Will be Fixed by
Commissioners on Monday

In all probability the county tax levy
will be fixed on Monday next, the last
day OF grace under the statutes what
IL will be Is not known, although as
previously stated IN this paper there is
not likely to be any reduction from the
figures OF last year So far as the city
school levy Is concerned, 1t VIII I'M
doubtedly remain where II was year
ago. The city school board has asked
for 1851 800 for maintenance $4,000 for
bonds and interest, and SbO,0oO fqr sites
and buildings This amount, II Is urg-
ed can be exceeded by $4,000 on q levy
of mills, $50 mills being allowed for
maintenance, 1.3 for bonds and interest,
and Is the limit under the law, Tor
buildings The valuation OF property IN
the city is $SS,e2i,5l7.
This, under the old levy would give
the city an additional Sll 900. Under Its
present levy OF 10 mills the city gets
$50 coo more than last year. The state,
with the same rate as last year, gets
an additional $4,000 from salt Lake
county for 1904. The county with
the levy Of a year ago, would get $4,000
with additional expenses to meet Of
approximately A2S0O From these fig-
ures It would appear that the county
levy, rather than being reduced, as
some had hoped, may have to be in
creased to meet the additional expense
account To keep II the sam as last
year, the board Of commissioners Will
have to exercise rigid economy, and.
from the experience Of the past II may
be reasonably expected that the board
will do its best in this direction.
