UMATILLKs BIG TAX ROLL
Total Value of Taxable Property Is
Given at $25, 272, $50.

The wealth of Umatilla county as
shown by the tax roll just completed
by Assessor Strain is $25, 2T2, 960. 70,
something like $16, 100000 less than
that OF last year when Umatilla county
had the greatest roll of any county in
the state except Multnomah, but suf-
ficient to give it the rank Of third
when the rolls are footed up for the
coming season. The loss in valuation
is not due to prohibition in Umatilla
county declares a Pendleton paper,
but to the fact that the assessments
this year are made on valuation of
between 60 and 70 per cent OF that OF
last. reduction made by Assessor
Strain to make the assessment more
equitable with regard to the assess-
ment of other counties in the state.
The figures of the assessor show
that almost half of the wealth of the
county lies in its lands, tillable and
on-tillable and improved and unim-
proved, when over one-tifth of the
wealth of the county is credited to the
railroad roadbeds.
The city property of the county is
improved to value of 100000, ap-
proximately, more than the land upon
which the improvements stand.
According to the assessors return,
out of the $25 900. 900 of wealth that
Umatilla county boasts there is only
$118,000 cash, while the value vf
stocks in various enterprises amounts
to $415. 900 more.
Owing to the exemption of $500 per
person which in many instances was
given on stock, the number of head of
various domestic animals shown is less
than last year, while the value, due
to fall in prices of stock, is also con-
siderably less

ALPHA COMPANY

$40 and Costs and Held
Up Two Other Charges

Alpha Process Company and Benjamin
f. Goetz. manager for the concern, in Tho
City Court to-day. Deputy Judge Joslyn

an hour. The defendants were represented
by Hugh NJ. Morris.
There were two charges against Mr..
Goetz and one against the company, al
involving offensive odors alleged to come
from the company's plant beyond Market
street bridge. The court imposed a fine OF
$40 and costs on the company and held
the two charges against Mr.. Goetz az
for two months. and in the meantime. he
is to install plant which will do awa'
with the odors complained Of.
City Councilman William p. White
who Is employed by the Charles Warner
Company; George Guthrie and william
II. Murphy, testified to the existence OF
the offensive odors and said they can't
from the process companys plant The
same evidence was admitted IN all three
cases.
In addition to the evidence Of these wit
nesses. Joseph Wigglesworth, Secretary
Of the Board OF Health. testified that com
plant was first made to the Board o.
Health Of the offensive odors in August
Of 1907 and the board took action on thu
Twelfth Of that month. The complaint was
made by Mr.. White. that the onensiy
odors were caused by burning leathe
straps. refuse from morocco factories
from which fertilizer is made.
Defendant Testifies.
In his own behalf, Mr.. Goetz testife'
that his company employed thirty men th'
entire year and that the concern did
large business. He said that he had jus
signed a contract with firm in Ger
many to install a plant 10 do away wit
the odors in question and that he ex
pected to have 1t in operation within &
month. III It is not effective" said th
witness. why then we will remove th
plant. We are not going TO stay here [
fuss with people who are more or les
jealous Of us"
He gave as the reason the puriryin
plant was not sooner installed, was tina
1t was only a question OF the size, whlc
was needed, and that the company whic
was going to make the improvement ha
been conducting an experimental plant a

only recently been taken down to maxi

Judge Joslyn said that the court ha
no desire to put a hardship on the com

CAR and SULTAN
MAY GO TO WAR
Believed That Fighting in the
Caucasus is Question Of
But Few Days
RUSSIA SUSPICIOUS
OF TURKS INTENTIONS
BY United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
VIENNA. May 7-Fighting between
the Car and the Sultan in the Cau-
casus looks like but a question OF
days.
AT the European CAPITALS there has
been a disposition hitherto TO discount
predictions of a clash. The past few
days developments have wrought a
change in the tone Of official talk Re
ports from the various powers con-
sular representatives in the Caucasus
have had much to do with the shift
IN opinion.
Many of the consuls are sure there
will ba war. The more conservative
conhne themselves to accounts OF mill
tary preparations on both sides Of the
border. IL Is conceded that they lo1k
more than threatening. Turkey has
been concentrating troops along both
the Persian and Russian borders for
months.
Russia has repeatedly hinted at her
suspicion that the Sultan contemplates
a Persian territorial grab. Should he
succeed in worsting the czar there is
no doubt that hostilities w,ll begin.
Since the Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicolaevitch took charge Of the situa-
tion the Russian force has vastly
strengthened.
Plenty Of Excuse For Trouble.
Though still outnumbered the Cars
troops could meet the Turks on fairly
equal terms. General opinion in diplo-
matte circles is that trouble is only
a question OF time.
There is plenty Of excuse. Any one
OF a half dozen invasions Of Persia or
Kurdish raids into Russia for which
the Sultan is suspected OF responsible
itv would serve.
The Russian force recently dispatch-
cd against the Kurdish outlaws in the
Kashaga Dagh mountains IS encamped
in a stronger position without attempt
ing much progress because Grand Duke
Nicholas Is too busy with his prepara-
tions for Turkey to reinforce It.
