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.

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. An Interesting Incident of

PROPOSES REMOVAL OF COMMISSIONER

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

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.

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-

plaints to make on the assessment as rc-
turned by the tax commissioner may ap

Famous Battleship
at Golden Gate.
From there tho Oregon sailed for Manila.
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.
