METZELSUPPE FOR
GERMAN ORPHANAGE
DRAWS BIG CROWD
Butchers Association Gives
Annual Philanthropic
Feast.

Metzelsuppe, q feast typically Ger
man, Is being served at the German
orphan Asylum on Good Hope road.
The Washington Butchers' Benevolent
Association, who are the hosts, expect
to entertain at least 2,000 guests before
the feast closes tonight.
The pigs that supplied the meat for
the sausages at the feast were slaught-
cred this morning at the asylum. After
the butchers had done their work, the
sausage makers in the association pre-
pared the sausages, and the men skilled
in cookery finished the task. These
sausages in many varieties form the
chief item In the bill of fare. But
other German dishes have place and
help to make this Metzelsuppe one of
the big annual events of the year for
the Germans of the District.
The doors Of the orphanage are open
to parentless children Of all races, and
patronage at the feast today Is not lin
tied to Germans. ,.....
All the supplies for the dinner have
been contributed by marketmen and
provision dealers, so that practically
tickets will be added to the orphanase
treasury.

BIackblrds Stop Trims.

Los Angeles, Dec. 27.-Blackbirds
stopped every one Of the cars Of the
Los Angeles Railroad for 21 minutes
Christmas morning and delayed thou
sands of passengers on their way to
church,
The birds in countless numbers took
possession of the main power trans
mission lines at the edge Of the city,
crowded so densely that the living
mass formed a circuit and tens of
thousands were electrocuted. AS fast
as they dropped, other thousands took
their places and thus the great flock
the like of which had never been seen
here, kept all the power from the troll
ley system.
Finally when the ground was cover
ed with smoking birds those above
suddenly seemed to realize their dan
ger and swept away in a black cloud,
hundreds more falling from the wire
contact. Then the cars ran on as
usual.

100 acres Of land uncovered on the
shores Of Tule Lake by the recession
Of It's waters will be leased for three
years to the highest bidders on Janu-

This Is the first tangible result OF
the large amount expended by the gov

Lake covered a much less area than
at present and the old emlgrant trail
crossed the eastern portion Of the lake
bed, where there is now eight to ten
feet Of water.
The government work has stopped
the inflow Of water and has already
uncovered much land belonging to pri-
vate parties, taken up when the water
was lower than it has been of recent
years. Some Of this land was farmed
in 1912 and the area which will be

Investigate
the Assessed
Valuations

To investigate the relation Of the
assessed valuation Of lands in those
counties in which railroads operate Ia
actual value of the land as shown in
transfers to which the railroads are
parties to the deals, conference OF
the assessors Of those counties with
the state tax commission Is being held
at the state house today.
About half the assessors Of the state
are present at the conference. Each
Is provided with list Of transfers
that have taken place in his county.
For the most part the lists show wide
difference in the assessed valuation Of
the land and the valuation as shown
in the transfers.
Assessors Rice, Of Marion county,
and Ball, of Lincoln county, were
sworn in this mornings session. AS
SCISSOR Rice was shown list of trans
fers submitted by the tax agent Of the
Oregon & California road representing
certain sales of real property and
showing a total consideration Of $74,-
S94. The assessed valuation Of the
same property as shown on the tax
records of the county Is $5O,73O,
without taking up the transfers
singly, Commissioner Galloway asked
Mr.. Rice If he considered the assess
ment a fair one. Mr.. Rice answered
in a general way that he believed It
fair and said that in his opinion no
explanation was necessary.
Commissioner Galloway called the
attention Of Assessor Ball Of Lincoln
county to several transfers. Mr.. Ball
had explanations for all, most Of
which showed big differences in the
assessed valuation and the consider
alton Of sale. He stated that he be-
lieved his valuations were absolutely
fair and represented all that the land
was worth In one case he said that
there was an error in the tabulation
Of the assessed valuation, making 1t
lower than actually assessed. Some
Of the land, he explained, was wild
land and was not worth the figure at
which It had been sold
