With Suicidal Intent.

After hours of suffering from the eff
fects of a half ounce of carbolic acid,
Miss Florence SCHNEIDER, corner Mabel

No motive or cause for the rash act
of the unfortunate young woman
could be learned Yesterday morning
shortly after awakening she dressed
herself as usual. She bid her parents
and sisters the time of day upon go
ing down stairs Shortly after, before
she had eaten breakfast, she returned
to her room where she drank the poi
son which caused her death. She was

scious condition. DR.. j. B. Wilson was
Immediately summoned and gave the
unfortunate girl the necessary medical
attention. Later Dr. A. o. Williams

ASSESSORS RAISE
RAILROAD VALUATIONS
Place Southern Pacific Road a
$4,000 Per Mile-Assessor
Fallen Raises Valuations.

County Assessor w. II. Fallin did
not attend the assessors convention
held in Albnsy Monday for the reason
that he did not think the session
would accomplish anything. He has
attended these conventions before and
the assessors would agree on basis
of valuation and then in making up
their rolls 60 on an entire different
basis.
This Albany convention was attend
ed by the assessors of Multnomsh,
Clackamas, Marion, Polk, Linn, Lane,
Douglas and Benton and its principal
object was to fix q basis Of valuation
for railroad, Pullman car and tele-
pone and telegraph lines. Under the
schedule adopted railroad roadbed will
be assessed at sl6,0 900 mile and roll
ing stock at $4,000 per mile. Here
after in all the Willamette Valley
counties railroads have been assessed
at about $4,000 per mile. But Multno-
nah county last year raised valuations
on all property and put railroads at
$50, 900 mile. Josephine county was
the next highest assess ment. Assessor
Fallin placing a valu alton of $13, 900
on the railroads. The third highest
in valuation was jackson county were
Assessor Applegate raised the rail.
roads to $40, 900 a mile.
Assessor Fallin will make no mater
ial change in valuations on the assess
met roll for this year other than to
correct such inequalities as may be
found. Last year he assessed all
property at about two.thirds of its
value except railroads which though
greatly increased was not up to the
third basis. This year he will
probably raise the railroads to sl9, :
900 per mile If the other assessors of
Oregon adopt that basis. Next year
he intends to assess all property in
Josephine county at its full value.
This basis will be more fair to prop
erty owners and it will give the
county better standing with invest
ors as it will show a low tax rate and
a wealthy county. Assessor Fsllin
has his field work all completed for
this year except for the Illinois Val
ley and he and Deputy Assessor d. E.
Dotson will go to Kerby Monday t6
assess that part of the county, which
will take about two weeks.
