RUSSIAN OFFICIALS AROUSED.

viding Pure Water.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 22.-The
cholera epidemic. which continues to as
sumo more appalling proportions every
day, has concentrated the attention of
the st. Petersburg authorities on the long
neglected task of improving the water
supply and sewer facilities of the capital.
The sewers now empty into the River
Neva or the open canals traversing the
CITY, and the water supply is taken from
the river. This is in spite of the fact that
Lake Ladoga, twenty miles away. offers
an abundant supply of fresh water that
could be obtained at small expense.
The mayor of st. Petersburg, at the in
stigation of Premier StOlypin, has ap-
pointed commission to arrange for i'm
mediate action in these directions. The
central government will share a part of
the expense.
Up to noon today the municipal hos
pitfalls reported for the preceding twenty
four hours Al cholera cases and 176
deaths. There Is a total of ,5S7 patients
in the various hospitals. That municipal
statistics are incomplete is concusively
proved by the numbers of interments. At
one cemetery these aggregated 424 for
the last three days. or within twenty of
the total number of deaths reported
The sinister legend that the physicians
of st. Petersburg caused the epidemic by
poisoning the waters of the Neva, as well
as the fruits sold in the general markets.
still persists among the people, although
the press is conducting an educational
campaign against this superstition. The
police today arrested one man for spread

summary example of him.

Glass and Hardware Found I'm Stom-
ach of Coos Bay Tramp.

Marshfield, Ore, July 6.-In order
to satisfy a craving for drink, Frank
Durga, a tramp, has been amusing
the frequenters of saloons by eating
glass and swallowing small articles
when his audience would give him a
glass of whisgy. He is now paying the
score for his unnatural trick and the
surgical openartion to which he sub
mitted at Mercy Hospital, in North
Bend, resulted in a discovery which
the local physicians say surpasses
anything they ever saw or heard of.
The man was sick and it was decided
thst some foreign substance had lodg
ed in his stomach. Doctors Bartle and
Gale opened the mans stomach and
after several hours work, removed
the following collection of articles and
mixed junk: Three jack knives, one
ened of knife handle, thre door keys.
one small key; three five-cent pieces,
10 dimes, one end of metal fishing
rod, two large loaded rifle shells, three
small shells, II horseshoe nails, one

single nail, one eight-penny nail, 175
pieces of glass, some of which were
larger than the finger nail.
When the opening of the human
junkpile was started and it was dis
covered what the stomach contained
the surgeons and nurses were simply
dumbfounded. They could scarcely
believe that the man could have had
such a collection in his stomach and
still live. Some of the glass had PEN
etrated the membrane of the stom-
ach and the most delicate dissection
was necessary for its removal. The
man is apparently getting along very
we'll and the doctors say that unless
some unexpected complications arise
he will get well. He soon after the
operation said he was hungry and
asked for substantial food, the light
fare usually given the hospital pa
tients not satisfying him
That the man could convert his
stomach into a depository for money
and hardware scarcely seems possible
but the doctors have the articles to
show and state that they were hardly
able to believe what they themselves
saw.
Nothing is known of Durga further
than that he is a tramp and saloon
loafer, about A years old, who has
been on Coos bay for two months. He
is now county charge.

COMPLICATIONS IN OREGON TAX LAW

The Oregonian discusses the Gallo
way decision on the unconstitutional
~ Of the oregon tax law. in an able
manner and as this is a highly import
ant subject for the readers of the East
Oregonian, the article is reprinted as
follows:
Counties that have assessed proper
" al full cash vaue will resist the at
tempt Of Yamhill county to have the
law Of 1901, apportioning the state
tax. dclared unconstitutional.
Among these counties are Colum-
bia. Marion, Multnomah and Umatilla.
They maintain that If the state taxes
are apportioned according to existing
assessed valuations. as was the prac-
tice before the enactment of the law
which Judge Galloway has declared
unconstitutional, the amount of their
taxes for state purpose will be increas-
ed unreasonably.
The assessors in these counties al
lege that the move on the part Of
Yamhill county is simply an attempt
to avoid paying a just proportion of
the state tax. II the property in YAM
hill county was assessed at its full
cash value, it is averred, the county
would not be paying more than its
rightful proportion into the state
treasury.
Discussing the subject yesterday,
Assessor B. D. Sigler of Multnomah
county. said he was in communication
with the assessors of other counties
of the state in which property has
been assessed at full value, with
a view to determining the best means
Of defeating the purpose Of the suit
that has been instituted in Yamhill.
It Is not proposed to wait until the
suit has been carried to the supreme
court.
In support of the contention that
the present system Of apportioning the
state tax among the different coun-
ties on the basis Of the average assess
ment Of property for the five years
preceding 1901, when the law was
passed, is the only fair and equitable
plan Of distributing this tax, some pro-
ceeding may be brought to show that
Yamhill county property is not assess
ed at its full cash value. as contem>
plated in the law.
Assessor Sigler feels that it will be
possible TO prove that the assessor of
Yamhill county has not listed the
property Of that county at more than
33l-3 per cent Of its actual value.
Result If Decision Holds.
Following the enactment Of the law
in 1901, and under which the state tax
is now apportioned, the assessors of
Multnomah, Marion, Umatilla and
Columbia and a few of the other coun-
ties. proceeded to assess all property
at its full cash value. This was done
in compliance with the provisions of
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-07-07

the law itself. In the other counties
property is assessed at from 33 l-S to
probably IS per cent of its true valu-
alton. Now, If the law is held to be
unconstitutional, and the former sys-
TEN is restored, these counties would
be required to pay from 80 to 40 per
cent more state taxes than they are
paying, and all because the other
counties fail to assess their property
az full cash values.
For instance since the law went
into effect in 1901, the assessment Of
Multnomah county property has been
increased from s32,639,9S7 in 1900, to
s2SS,161.O5S in 1907. In Umatilla
the aggregate assessment in 1900 was
s5,5S5,O0O, while last year the total
was s42,O55,S66. The inrease in Co.
lumbia county for the same period was
from S1,477350 to s16,7S6,655, while
in Baker county, where property is
assessed at 40 per cent of its value
the aggregate of the roll increased
from $2,SSO.255 to s9,694,OOO in the
last seven years.
In the same length of time the as
SCISSORS of Yamhill county increased
the assessment of property in that
county only from S4,770,106 in 1900,
to S11,7OO,521 in 1907. This total
valuation of S11,OOO,OOO, it is argued,
does not exceed 23 1-3 per cent of the
value of the property of the county
What Change Would Mean.
By returning to the old practice of
collecting the state tax on the assessed
valuations as reported by the various
county assessors, Multnomah county
this year would have paid s466,2S2.11
in state taxes instead of SS59,154, or
about 80 per cent increase. Column
bias tax would have been increased
over 200 per cent, or from $12, 100 to
S33,573.31, while Umatilla would have
paid $S4,11173, instead of S56,350.
