STRONG HANDS SHIRK TASK Ltbor of Carrying City's Burdens Falls Upon Wtak Shoulders. SMALL OWNERS PROTEST TO THE BOARD HouHdintrici-ft Who llntr Striven I, our In Own Their' Hume Olijeet In Tnx Ulacrliiiliiiitluii In Fnvnr if ('iiriMiriilluiiN. City Clerk W. H. Elbourn has filed with the county board of equalization a com plaint against tho assessment laid against certain lots of his In Maryvlllo addition. Ho says the lots are not worth more than 11,500 and they aro assessed at more' than one third of that amount, while similar lots In the same neighborhood aro assessed as low as one-fifth of their actual value. "I protest," says Mr. Elbourn In his complaint, "against being assessed at one third of the actual cash value of my prop erty when It Is a well known fact that there aro millions of dollars worth of prop erty In this county which Is assessed at less than l per cent of Its actual cash value." Coiniilnlnt cif Small t)mior. J. C. Holtorf, owner of tho house and lot on tho northwest corner of Farnam and Twtntteth streets, complains that his prop erty Is assessed at about 2," per cent of Its actual cash value, whllo that of John A. Cralghton on tho opposite corner Is as sessed at less, than 10 per, cent nnd that of the Cudahy Packing company In South Omaha at less than ti per cent. The hoard of equalization will probably notify the officials of tho street railway, gas, water, electric light, telephone, smelt ing and packing companies! alt of whom have been assessed at a ridiculously low percentage, to appear oomo tlmo this wcok and show cause, If there Is any, why their assessments should not bo raised.

Address' Pattern Department. Omaha Dee The Oregon at Home After an absence of thirty-eight months, tho, battleship Oregon arrived at Its home port, San Francisco, last Wednesday. True to Its record) tho famous battleship arrived one day ahead of schedule time, disarrang ing plans for a reception, but the welcome was all tho more hearty, becnuso It was spontaneous. The homeward-bound pennant streamed twice the length of tho Bhtp astern. A magnificent silk flag, tho gift of the citizens of Nagasaki, Japan, floated over the stem and a silk jack In the bow. Travel-atnlned nnd looking, considerably the worse for wear, the battleship still Im pressed ovcrybody with Its massive ap pearance nnd the easy, noiseless manner In which' It moved through tho wnter. The story of tho Oregon's achievements In llttlo more than threo years forms a glorious chapter In naval history, Headers will recall the anxious, thrilling Interest with which tho nation watched tho progress of tho Oregon down tho Pacific coast, through tho straits of Magellan and up the Atlantic, the unfeigned Joy that greeted Its arrival at Jupiter Inlet, Florida, and the rapturous applause that hailed the valor ous deeds of tho bulldog of the American navy In tho battle of Santiago. Tho Oregon sailed from San Francisco, March 10, 1898. It was known that about the- time tho Oregon left San Francisco the Spanish torpedo boat Temerarlo, tho swift est In Spain's navy, had sailed for Monte video, Uraguay, to Intercept the Oregon, either In tho straits or on tho way north. Tho anxiety and excitement for the next ten days were Intense. The former was ground less, however. The Temerarlo stayed at Montevideo and the Oregon was next heard from at Rio do Janeiro, which port It reached on April 30. Sailing thence with tho Marietta and tho Duffalo, the newly purchased Drazlllan cruiser (Nlctheroy), It arrived at Dnhia, Drazll, May 8. Again the country was wrought up over the prospect of the llttlo squadron being Intercepted by tho superior Spanish fleet which had been lying at the Cape Verdo Islands, Tho Spaniards did not chooso to see( an encounter, however, nnd on May 24, after touching nt Darbadoes on tho way, tho Ore gon reported to Washington Its arrival at Jupltor Inlot, near Key West, Fla., ready for service. Tho marvelous run was made without an accident or break In any of Its machinery, and did not require one cent's worth of repairs.

PROPOSES REMOVAL OF COMMISSIONER npftnlntlnn to Tills KITei't Is Voted on liy IJvery Menilier 1'resrnt Kxcrpt Mr. Martin .School Tench era Elected. At a meeting of the city council held last evening this resolution was adopted: Whereas, Ah James J, Fitzgerald, when qualifying as tax commissioner of South Omaha, did make outh that he would ful fill the duties of the office faithfully, hon estly and to the best of his ability, nnd Whereas, As !ectlon 116 of the city char ter provides that the tnx commissioner shall list nnd assess all property required to be listed at its fair cash value, and that the deputies shall perform their duties under the direction of the tax commissioner and be governed by such regulations, not Inconsistent with inw. ns mnv be urc- scrlbed for the purpose of securing just and equitable assessments which regula tions shnll conform to the general rules prescribed by the general revenuo laws or the state, and Whereas, As tho enld tax commissioner has aspersed and valued all property In the city, except that of the corporation, at one-fifth of tho fair value and has as sessed and valued the property, both real and personal, of tho corporations, at ubout one-inirticin or ine inir vaiuc, ami Whereas. As section llfi of the city Char ter provides thnt If tho tax commissioner assess und value any property ut a dis proportionate value, compared with other property In tho city, or violates ntiy of tlie unties of ins otnee ne snnn no iiecmra guilty of h misdemeanor ami on convic tion thereof he shnll be punished by a tine of not to exceed II, WO, etc., therefore, Resolved. That the city attorney be nnd he Is hereby Instructed to at once prepare charges and specifications necessary to be 81RI1CU oy me mayor aim mice cuuin. men and tiled In tho district court for the removal of sold tax commissioner from his office, as Is provided In section l.S of the city charter. When this resolution was offered by Councilman Ed Johnston It created some llttlo stir. Mr. Johnston, with permission of the council, spoko at some length. Ho said that tho assessment just returned by Mr. Fitzgerald wos tho most inramous ever made In tho Magic City. Going Into fig ures he showed that, whllo tho small property owner had been assessed at the rato of one-fifth valuation, the packers and stock yards had got off with a very slight Increase over last year. In conclusion Mr. Johnston said that he wanted tho corporations to be assessed at tho samo rate as the homo-owner. Such a proceeding, ho asserted, would glvo tho city tho valuation It deserved and then the levy could bo decreased. As matters stand now a 60-mlll lovy Is staring tho tax payers In tho face. When Councilman Johnston had concluded Councilman Van sant arose to remark that he thought the resolution a trifle premature., Ho favored waiting to sco what tho Doard of Itcvlew would do with the assessment. This Idea did not seem to meet wltn the approval of tho other members arid Mayor Kelly ordered a roll call. Of tho flvo members present, Dworak, Johnston, Miller and Vnnsant voted In the affirmative, while Martin alone stood out and voted no. Adklns was absent on ac count of the Illness of his wife. As a finish to his labors of tho evening Johnston secured the passage of a motion directing tho appointment of a special com mittee to confer with the city attorney with a view to drafting an ordinance which Is to provide for additional duties for tho tax commissioner. Chairman Millar ap pointed Martin, Dworak and Vansant on this committee. , The news of the council's action spread rapidly and t't was soon being talked over on the streets and In down-town re sorts. It even spread up to the Doard of Education and delayed proceedings there for a few minutes. Very little Interest was manifest In the balance of the proceedings. Mayor Kelly vacated the chair after the Fitzgerald reso lution was declared adopted and August Miller, president pro tern, was called to the chair. Four special tax ordinances wero passed and also an ordinance levying a tax for sidewalks. A motion was made by Johnston and car ried directing the removal of the electric street light from Thirty-sixth and L streets to Fortieth and L streets. When this Is done the Burlington will be compelled to maintain Its own light at this crossing. After tho transaction of a small amount of routine business tho council adjourned until Wednesday night. It Is expected that at this time the special committee ap pointed to pick out some extra work for Mr. Fitzgerald will make Ha report. Ilonril of HevlCTr. The Doard of Review qualified yesterday forenoon and Immediately opened offices at 409 North Twenty-fifth street, one door the voyage was that it was the first Amer ican battleship to cross the equator. The Oajsjgon averaged for tho sixty-six days from March 19, when It left San Fran cisco, to May 24, when It reported for duty to Admiral Sampson at Key West, 203 miles per day. Deducting the thirteen days spent In coaling and stopping for communi cations with Washington at Callao, Punta Arenas, Rio Janeiro, Dahla and Darbadoes, the running tlmo was fifty-three days and tho average per day 253 miles. The Oregon covered 2,578 miles between Dahla and Darbadoes In eight and a half days, an average of more than 300 miles per day, and for tho twenty-four hours before reaching Dahla the run was 375 miles. An unmatched record for long or short dis tance for ships of that class. The Oregon at once went on duty along the northern coast of Cuba, whero it re mained until May 30, when it was or dered to Join Schley's squadron off San tiago, where Cervora's fleet was at last discovered to have taken refuge. Perform ing tho blockading and reconnolsiance duty In that vicinity and participating In tho several bombardments of Morro Castle and Santiago It was occupied until July 3, when the Spanish fleet made Its disas trous attempt to escape from the harbor of Santiago. Tho story of the battle that followed Is too fresh to bo repeated here In detail. Sufflco It to say that the Oregon added greatly to the glory of the navy. Dut for tho Oregon's presence the Cristobal Colon and the Vlecaya, the fleetest ships of the Spanish navy, would have made Jhelr es cape. Thero was no other American ves sel present that could match their speed except the cruiser Drooklyn and tho Drooklyn could hardly have hoped to fight tho two, one of them a battleship. Going north at the close of the war the Oregon was tho chief attraction lt the great naval parade at New York In tho latter part of September, 1893, being greeted with the wildest enthusiasm. Soon after the Oregon was ordered to the Pacific, under easy steam. It sailed on October 8 and on December 1, wth the Iowa and four supply ships, was again at Punta Arenas, In the Straits of Magellan. Calling nt Valparaiso on October 17 the fleet made Callao on October 26 and on the next day was presented with a servlco of gold plate by the citizens of that place, ! s composed of C C. Stanley, Joseph Ko- pcltz and Tax Commissioner Fitzgerald. Sessions of the board will be held dally until June 23. Tho3c who have any com- ' until June to. plaints to make on the assessment as rc- turned by the tax commissioner may ap pear before tho board at any time during the sesilon. Itegular office hours wilt bo kept and complaints received nnd consid ered as provided for In tho new charter. Ilnnrd Hlreta 't'enclier.

Tho Oregon spent eleven months ou duty along the western coast of Luzon, patrol lng und convoying, and on one or two oc casions throwing a few shells to help a landing party. In February, 1000, It was ordered north and reached Yokohama on the 20th. Sailing again by way of Kobe and Nagasaki, tho Oregon arrived at Hong Kong on Mny 31, remaining there until or dered to tho sceno of trouble In China. The Oregon left Hong' Kong on Juno 23, and on tho 28th, entering tho Gulf of Pechlll, on the way to Taku, the battleship struck on submerged rocks known as the "Pinnacle Rocks," twelve miles south of Hankal light, on Mlautou Islands. The night was calm, but a heavy fog had set tled down and It was proceeding very slowly. Suddenly the ship was caught by a crossttde and crashed on the rocks. Had tho Oregon been going at any speed It would never havo moved from the spot, which Is commonly known as tho "grave yard of vessels." Wreckers from Chllu arrived the next day, and on July 1 tho Oregon was hauled off tho one pinnacle only to strike on an other. Here the ship stayed, despite tho efforts cf the wreckers and the strong pull ing of tho Drltlsh cruiser Endymion, until July 5, when all at once It floated off on Its own motion. Temporary stops were gotten over the rent In tho sldo and the battleship was taken, by the courtesy of the Mikado's gov ernment, to tho naval dock at Kure, Japan, whero It arrived on July 17. In the courso cf a n.onth the Oregon was ready for sea again and sailed on August 29 for Nagasaki and Shanghai, arriving at the Utter placo on Septembor 9. On February 19 the battle ship arrived at Hong Kong, where It ro malned until April 13, when the homeward Journey was begun. It sailed by way of Shanghai for Yokohama, arriving thero May 11. Two of the men who left San Francisco on tho Oregon aro still on board. Captain C. E. Clark, who commanded tho Oregon on the long voyage around the Horn nnd fought the battleship at Santiago, retired on account of ill-health August 6, 189S, when no was succeeded by Captain A. S. Darker, who took tho ship over to Manila. Captain F. F. Wlldo was in command on the trip to Pechlll and was succeeded by Captain C. M. Thomas, who brought tho Oregon home. JUNE IS, 1001.
