Tri-Btate I jnd . company has at
quired the canal through foreclosure pro
ceedings from the Farmers" CansI company
of that locality, which was the original
builder of the canal and from whom the
defendants secured their perpetual water
rights.
Edwsrd Rose water's wonderful grasp of
statistics and Ills wonderful knowledge of
things he was Interested In was aptly
Illustrated at a meeting of the Bute Board
of Assessment In )904. when ba. made his
annual appearance before the board In ;
behalf of the people's Interest, and In his
efforts to secure a Just and lilghe'r assess
ment of railroad property.' The Incident
was recalled Sunday during a conversation
among a number of oiU-of-tpwn .visitors.
Mr. Rosewater had prepared his argu
ment, based on the reports made by the
various railroad companies. At the board
meeting were fifteen or twenty railroad tax
agents from all parts of the country. As
soon ss Mr. Rosewater had opened his ar
gument, Mr. Bcrlbner. tax 'agent of the
Union Pacific, asked him a' question con
cerning the stocks and bonds of some of
the auxiliary companies of this rosd. As
soon as this was answered. the other tax
agents began to ask questlone In an en
deavor to keep Mr. Rosewater ' from the
main Issue. ' .
Finally the editor answered a question
regarding the value of the, stocks and
bonds of the Oregon,' Railway and Naviga
tion company, owned by the tTnlon Pacific.
Thought They Had Hint.
"Mr. Rosewater, you are misquoting the
figures," interrupted. Mr. Bcrlbner. "You
cannot find any such figures In our report.
There Is our report to this- board before
you. Look at It and see for yourself."
A member of the board opened the report,
and sure enough the figures .were not
quoted. r . - . r .
"That's the way you , created this re
sentment to the present assessments of
railroad property," hotly exclaimed the
railroad tax agent. "By., misquoting figures
In your paper, you have the people believ
ing the railroads are not assessed high
enough.'
"Of course the report you filed with this
board does not contain the figures 1
quoted," answered Mr. Rosewater. with
some show of heat.- '"I knew It didn't
when I tued those figures. That report
you filed here Is as false as It can be. t
don't believe a word of It. ' It Is ab
solutely unreliable. I am quoting from
your report to your stockholders. That
Is where I get my Information." '
With that Mr. Rosewater dug down In
his little grip and produced the report to
the stockholders the real report and the
long llt of figures he had quoted, with
out a reference or - note exactly cor
responded. That was the year th railroad assessment
was Increased tl9,00O,00.
NARROW ESCAPE FOR WOMAN
Tra Lire Wires Tears an la Fnlllnar
Oae Strikes a Pedestrian,
Caaslaa; Bear.
An unidentified woman was struck by a
live wire In front of the Merchants' hotel
about 10:30 a. m. Monday, but was not
seriously Injured."
Some workmen were erecting a sign ad
vertising the Pure Food show and some of
the wires supporting the sign broke and
in falling came Into contact with a trolley
t wire In the street. The broken wire.
charged with electricity, swung over to the
pavement, striking the woman, who was
passing. The sign was burned up.
After viewing the trouble. City Elec
trician Mkhaelsen expressed the opinion
that signs of that, character should hot
be tolerated In a metropolitan city, such
signs being dangerous In more wsys than
one.
The sign In question was stretched from
the tops of the Merchants' and Henshnw
hotels and suspended from a guy wire over
the trolley wires. Workmen tried to
straighten out the tangled mass of cloth
and while handling It let the sign fall. The
guy wire came In contact with a trolley
wire, the latter aendlng a strong current
through-the former to Its mooring on the
noth end. The guy wire immediately
dropped to the sidewalk and was white
with heat. The clothing of a passing
woman and boy was singed by the hested
wire, which also nearly burned through
the Insulation of a fire alarm wire.
"Had Jhe guy wires rested a moment
longer on the fire alarm wire the latter
would have become charged with the cur
rent from the trolley wire and the result
would have been the entire downtown fire
alarm system would have been placed out
of commission until a number of burned
out boxes could have been repaired," stated
Mr. Michaelsen.
