PERSONALITY AND RAILROADS ESCAPE
Adequate Relief Can Be Secured Only
by Lea-lslatlen, bat Board of
Equalisation Asked t
Help Some. . .
The regular monthly meeting of the
Commercial club last night was In the
main devoted to the discussion of taxation
and the method of assessment In the city.
The discussion was prompted by an arti
cle published yesterday In a local paper,
In which It was stated that the taxable
valuation of the city this year would be
31,000,000 . below that of last year. While
the statement was stated to be extrava
gant It was conceded that reports from
the assessor's office indicated there would
be a material decrease In the valuation
this year.
The general tins of the discussion showed
that the consensus of opinion was that
real estate bore an excessive proportion of
the burden of taxation while personal prop
erty on the other hand escaped Its proper
share. The opinion also prevailed that the
railroads did not bear their proper pro
portion of the taxes and that the only
way to bring a change about would, be
through the legislature.
Aa a result of the discussion It was de
cided to have a real estate committee as
an adjunct to the club and President Bin
der was empowered to name the mem
bers. This committee, which probably will
be named today, will, It Is understood,
wait upon the city council with a view to
having that body see to it that personal
property Is properly assessed and not prac
tically the entire burden left to be borne
by real estate.
The city council Is meeting nightly as a
board of review and Is going through the
assessment books with Assessor Hardin.
So far but little progress has been at
tained and but few changes ot an Im
portant character made.
Assessor Hardin stated yesterday that
the statement made In the local paper that
the valuation this year would show a de
crease of 31,000,000 from last year was ab
surd. At the most, Mr. Hardin said, the
decrease would not exceed 1276,000 on the
gross valuation, which for assessment pur-

Possible Clue to Thief. .
Mrs. N. A- Crawford of First avenue and
Sixth street furnished the police with a pos
sible clue to the burglar who is credited
with having robbed a number ot houses in
the Fourth ward and on Bluffs street. A
young man called at her house inquiring
for rooms, and was shown through the .
house. A few minutes after he had been
shown out of the front door Mrs Crawford
discovered him in the act of climbing in
through a rear window. The young fellow
dropped from the window and ran west
through the alley. Mrs. Crawford was able
to glys the police an excellent description
of him.
The residence of W.. W. Wallace on Bluff
street was also one of those robbed last
Monday night. The thief, as at the other
residences, effected an entrance through a
rear window and- lighted his way by
matches, partially burning one of the cur
tains at the window by which he entered.
Only a small sum of money was secured
by the burglar her. ,
During the forenoon of Monday two men
came to the Wallace house and without
knocking walked into the hall. When en
countered by members at the family they
claimed to be In search of work at house-
cleaning. From the description of the two
men the police believe they are convicts
recently releaaed from the Lincoln peniten
tiary wno were reported to De in iris city.

DRAINAGE
. . '. .
Monona-Harrlaon County Canal to Be
Lr-et of Kind Khovrn.
ONAWA. Ia., May -(Special.) The lio-
nona-Harrison county. .dUch, 'and drainage
canal, which was ordeje.tby the .Joint
boards of supervisors of Harrison and Mo
nona counties yesterday, t6 be let June 8,
at Onawa, Ia., is pronounced by Engineer
Fessenden to be one of the largest drainage
ditches within his knowledge. There are4-
larger ones for irrigation purposes, but
none for strictly drainage purposes.
The ditch commences at the mouth of the
Woodbury-Monona ditch' on the West Fork
river, runs In- a general southerly course,
emptying into the Missouri' river above the
town of Little Sioux In Harrison county,
and is about twenty-six and a half miles
long, seventy-five feet wide, having a base
of fifty feet, and from eight to fourteen
feet in depth with slope one foot to the
foot; grade, one foot to the mile; dirt ex
cavated to be placed on both sides ot ditch.
The waters of the West Fork river will be
turned Into the ditch so as to maintain a
running stream. . In addition to the con
struction of the big ditch, the work con
templates nine cut-offs of the Little Sioux
river for the purpose ot straightening the
course of that stream. The cost of the
Improvements is estimated at over 3300,000.
6eventy-slx thousand acres of land now
subject to overflow and too wet for cultiva
tion are expected to be made, good, tillable
land. The drainage district embraces prac
tically1 all the land east of the old Sioux
City Sc. Pacific railroad to the foothills along
the Little Bloux river. Steam dredges will
be used for the work 'and plenty of water
can be obtained from the West Fork river
and Oliver lake for successful workings.
Nearly all the bottom lands are now dry
and In fine shape for the work.
The value of the proposed work can
hardly be estimated, as the land is the most
fertile in Iowa and will raise from fifty to
seventy-five bushels of corn per acre when
it can be properly tilled. Judge Addison
Oliver of Onawa, who has been the chief
objector to the proposed ditch improve
ments has practically closed a contract for
the sale of his lands, about 2,000 seres, to a
yndlcate of Illinois men, who will agree to
purchase providing the "big ditch" goes
through. '
Judge Olivet1, who for fifteen years . has
managed to head oft all ditch matters, will
Withdraw all opposition to the proposed
work. It looks as if the' ditch was a sure
thing this time and the people- generally
are elated at the outlook.

TOKIO, May 3-It I rumored that the

peninsula of Kamchatka, Instead of
Vladivostok. It Is said that the Rus
sians have been collecting coal and

as Impossible that the Russians Intend to

its defense from land Is considered Im
possible. "

Jap WslfMn Frrnch Waters.
PARIS, May '.-Notwithstanding denials,
It now appears that the Japanese officials
are carefully observing the continued
presence of vessels of Admiral Rojestven
sky's squadron, off the Indo-China coast
and are ' seeking Information from the
French authorities concerning the nature
and duration Ot their stay. The members
of the legation have addressed several In
quiries to the Foreign office, asking parti
cularly .whether - the - ships' were inside
French waters. The reply given that all
the vessel of the B.umlan squadron have
left French waters. These Inquiries appear
to Indicate the- purpose of the Japanese to
submit further representations or lay
grounds for subsequent action.
Rnsslan Ships Leave Vladivostok.
A dispatch to the Temps from St. Peters
burg says-that dispatches received there
through -Russian channels confirm the pre
vlous reports- that the Russian cruisers
whloji have had their headquarters at
Vladivostok since the outbreak of the war
with Japan have left that post. Military
circles at 8t. Petersburg, it .is added, ex
pect General Oyama will hasten the In
vestment of Vladivostok tor the purpose
of cutting off Admlrnl Rojeslvenaky's
squadron from Ihe Ruslnn nsvsl base. The
ofTlclnls do .not expect a Junction of the
Russian wnrshlns before May 9, as Ad

RoJestvetisky have Joined forces, but th
Impression prevails In nnval circles that
the Juncture has not been effected. " In
deed, some doubt Is expressed whether
Nelmirntoff's division has yet entered the
Chlim sea. The admiralty officials vigor
ously deny any Intention of sending the
protected cruiser Askold and a torpedo
boat destroyer Interned at Shanghai to
Join Admiral RoJestvensky, and some re
sentment Is shown against the United
States and Great Britain for having of

from Pekln to see If the charge of th
Russian consul at Foochow that the Japa
nese have a wireless station her to" com
munlcate with Formosa Is true. Th of
ficials say that they have found nothing to
show that there Is a Wireless station here.
It Is sulci, however, that a secret . Station
may have been established on an outlying
island. The Japanese claim that the Rus
