TAXES
HIGHER
HIGHER
Effect of Raised VaIuatiOn'S
Unless LeVieS are Kept
Down
Portland journal. January p

Portland Journal. January 2.)
Taxpayers of Portland will this
year be required to raise over one
third more money by taxation than
in 1905.
The valuation of all property with
in Multnomah county has been raised
and at the same time the levy has
gone IN. Thus the two forces work
ing together have boosted up the
sum which the property owners and
taxpayers generally will be required
to pay.
All but 100000 of the county
valuation of $1SO,900, 900 is In the
city of Portland. Last year the coun-
ty valuation was $14S,S00,O00, show
ing that for 1907 the valuation has
been increased $37OOO,OOO.
Sixteen mills IS to be the total levy
for the city this year. This rate
raises approximately $2,S94,O00, an
increase Of $76O.OOO over the amount
paid over by the taxpayers in 1906.
Thus while the valuation has in
creased s37,000,OOO the levy has
climbed M 1.2 mills. There is no
question of course that the market
value of nearly all property in the
county has gone up. especially the
most valuable portions OF city prop
erty.
This increase OF S760.000 will he
divided as follows; The port OF
Portland will get $50. 900 more than
last year. the school districts $105,-
600 more. the state school 1000
more, the county road fund $125, 600
more. the general county fund $22,- =
600 more, the library $4,000 more.
the city OF Portland $4,000 more,
the state tax $3.50 more.
The fact that the council of Port
land on Monday morning fixed the
levy for municipal purposes at 81
mills i7 one of the principal reasans
for the high aggregate levy which
has been placed upon all property In
the city.
When the system of higher yalua-
tions and lower leyles was adopted
Il was believed the levy could be
kept down. However, so great have
been the demands from all quarters
that. whereas last year the taxpay-
ers of the county paid for a levy OF
14,S mills upon valuation OF s143.-
100000, this year they will pay
levy OF 16 mills upon $1SO,900, 900.

CUSHMAN MAY
LOSE HIS CLAIM
coMlcAL CONGRESSMAN STARTS
lNvES OF AGENT
OF DEPARTMENT.

Congressman Cushman's timber land
ently in eastern Washington will prob
ably be made the subject of investiga-
ton by a special agent of the general
land office, says a Washington, D. c.,
report. This might no. have been ne
cessary save for the fact that the conf
cal congressman, in recording his entry.
Inserted few characteristic phrases,
and then announced that while his
entry was not speculative, he would
sell the land if offered good price for
it,
The one question that has given so
much trouble with timber land entries
in the past has been, whether or not
the en,rymaE was making his entry
for speculative purposes. And the
general land office has had great
trouble in defining a speculative en-
try 1t is hard to draw the line be-
tween a speculative entry, which is
prohibited by law, and an entry made
legi. imately for an investment.
CushmaL has not yet acquired title
to his quarter section of timber, and
before he gets title the general land
office wants to know whether he is
proceeding according to law, or
whether he has forfeited his right to
title. The presumption is that Cusn-
man knows the law and is guided ac-
cOrdingly, but in spite of his highfa-
luting language, if he has an under
standing with some Individual that he
will sell out at a profit when he ac-
quires title, his little investment may
be knocked into a cooked hat. Mr..
Cushman has perfect right to sell out
after he acquires title, provided he does
not make his bargain prior to the time
tile passes to him; but an agreement
to sell. either written or oral, if en-
tered Tito prior to the title to the land
is patented, will defeat his entry.

A crisis was reached when the Rev.
Mr.. Ferguson refused to resign at the
request of the official board, which
made the demands on the ground that
he was not orthodox. The board re-
fused to allow the pulpitato be occupied
by the present incumbent and the
preacher refused to sever his connec-
ton.
The trustees have now extended an
invitation to the Rev. J. b. HaSkins, of
Iowa, to become pastor. The board Is
now awaiting an answer from Mr.. Has
kins. Should Mr.. Haskins accept, the

Forty-seven Miners Caught Under
ground nj Fayctfe city, PA.
PITTSBURG, Dee. 3.-The fate of
fi,e American aud forty-two foreign
miners, while not definitely known, Is
pretty well established by the finding
OF the body Of mine pumper near the
twenty-second entry Of the Naomi
mine OF the United Coal company mt
fnyette City. thirty-five miles from
this city The man had died from suf-
location.
Judging from the two fatalities thus
for known, both having been caused
by poisonous gas fumes, II is almost
certain that the forty-seven miners
stu entombed in the. mine have sue
cumbed to the deadly afterdamp.
There Is also possibility that the
explosion occurred so close to the men
that they were killed by its force or
the resultant fall of tons Of rock and
earth.
Since shortly after s o'clock at night
large force of rescuers has labored
almost constantly In an effort TO reach
the imprisoned men. The work has
been necessarily slow on account of
the wreckage and afterdamp. Not
withstandlng the fact that the rescue
parties have worked in fifteen minute
relays, score or more OF their mem
bers have been compelled to 60 to
their homes suffering from the poison
Gus gas. Two of the rescuers are In
critical condition.
"A crowd estimated at 1000 persons
has stood about the mouth of the III
fated mine awaiting some news from
the entombed men. Hundreds of these
persons are relatives or friends OF the
unfortunate miners, and their grief is
pitiful.
The rescuers are divided In opinion
as to when they will reach the i'm
prisoned men. Some believe the end of |
their search will not come until this |
evening In the meantime 1t Is the |
opinion Of all that the men are dead. |
