The effort on the part of pmttaWattarole
county to collect taxes for several years
past on the holdings of the stockholder of
the Portland Gold Mining; company Involve
a van amount of extra work for the
county treasurer and the cleric of the dis
trict court. Notices have been mailed by
the county treasurer to 901 atockholders,
whose places of residence are pracUcally
world-wide. Notices have been sent to
every state In the union, as well as to
England, France, Germany, Canada, South
America, Australia and other foreign coun
tries. The cost of mailing- and register
ing these notices exceeded $100.
The notices are to the effect that the
, stockholder named therein Is reuulred to
appear before County Treasurer Mitchell
on or before March 80 and show cause
why Ms or her stock should not be as
sessed for taxation for the years named.
It Is the Intention of the county to as
sess the stock for the years 101 to 106,
Inclusive, and then let th courts do the
rest.
For the purpose of assessment, the mar
ket value of the Portland stock for tho
years named will be taken. The stock
was quoted for these years as follows:
1901, IS. IB; 1902 12.78; 190S, 11.75; 1904,
11.40; 1905, l.9B; 1906. Jfci9. For In
stance, a person holding 100 shares of
. stock during 1901 the value will be placed
at 1345 and the taxable value will be one
i fourth of this, namely 189.25. The par
j value of the stock Is II a share, of
j which 1,000,000 were Issued.
A list of the stockholders was recently
! secured by the county authorities from
i an Inspection of the company's books un
der order of the court. Notices have
been sent to each person represented to
own stock according to these books. Many
replies have been reclvd by Treasurer
Mitchell by persons so notified disclaiming
ownership of the stock. Others have
replied stating that they have alrendy
paid taxes on their stock holdings In the
states In which they resided and deny
the right of Pottawattamie county to
, again tax them on the same stock.
The result of assessing the holdings of
B6i reputed stockholders by the county
treasurer will be the filing of 92 appeals
to the district court. Yesterday H. V.
Battey, clerk of the district court, re
ceived a letter from State Senator
4 Saunders. local attorney for the Portland
Gold Mining company, and the stockhold
ers, warning him of the actions to come
and advising, him to have two or more
appcy.l dockets specially prepared for
these actions. The entire 982 appeals will

Matters in Federal Conrt.
The federal grand Jury completed Its de
liberations yesterday and was discharged
by Judge McPherson. Three Indictments
were returned, one of which only was
made public as the defendants named In
the other two were not under arrest.
Charlea Holman, a youth of 20 years, was
Indicted for bootlegging at Grlnnell. IIol
man's 'defense was that he did not sell the
whisky complained of because "all the boys
chipped In" and he merely acted as pur
chasing agent. Despite the fact that Hol
man had already been twice In Jail, the
court was lenient and 'sentenced him to
four months' Imprisonment in .the Mont
gomery county Jail at Red Oak and to pay
a fine of 1100.
The greater part of the time of the court
yesterday was taken up In hearing argu
ments on a demurrer In the case of Alex
ander L. Watson of Galeeburg, III., against
the Security Life & Savings Insurance
company, the National Life St Trust com
pany, the National Life Insurance com
pany of the United States of America. The
litigation arose over the amalgamation of
the companies, the National Life A Trust
company first taking over the Security
Life St Savings Insurance company and it
self being absorbed by the National Life
Insurance company of the United States
of America. Policy holders In the first
company stopped payments when It was
taken over by the second company and are
now seeking a settlement of the amounts
which they paid In. The petition also asks
for the appointment of a receiver, but thla
will not be insisted upon If Judgment Is
obtained by the plaintiff.

SQl'ABBLE OVER HYDRANT RENTAL
Bill Ordered Paid on Basis of New
Ordinance Rates.
The semi-annual bill of the waterworks
company for hydrant rentals was produc
tive of a lengthy discussion at the ad
journed regular meeting of the city council
last night. The company presented Its bill
at the old rates, asking that the city pay
as much thereof as the rentals under the
new schedule provided in the ordinance
passed last year and contested by the com
pany would amount to without prejudloe to
the company or tha city. The new ordi
nance provided for a rate of $16 a year per
hydrant, while under the old franchise the
company had been receiving $100 per hy
drant for the first 100 hydrants and $75 per
hydrant over and above that number.
Councilman Wallace took exception to
the form of the bill as did Mayor Macrae.
They took the position that It ought to
have been made out at the rate as pro
vided In the new ordinance. After a pro
longed dlscusslun the company was or
dered paid at the $45 rate on the under
standing that In accepting this amount It
did not prejudice Its right as to claiming a
higher rental, Councllraen Wallace, Olson
and Yoankerman voting against It.
An ordinance regulating the licensing of
distribution of advertising matter, etc., and
repealing the old one was passed under a
suspension of the rules. The ordinance pro
vides for a license fee of $- for the year,
$6 by the month or $3 by the week. One
person only can operate under such license
and If additional persons are employed by
the holder of a license to distribute matter
they must be paid for at the rate of So
cents a day per person. The ordinance
further provides that only adults may dis
tribute samples of powders or food stuffs,
and prohibits the distribution of sample
packages of pills or medicines. The penalty
for violation of any of the provisions of
the ordinance Is a fine of from $S to $100
and Imprisonment not exceeding thirty
days.
The question of remitting the taxes of
the Gelse cereal mills for five years an
being a new Industry waa responsible for
the passage under the suspension of the
rules of an ordinance repealing the ordi
nance giving the city council permission
to exempt from taxation new Industries.
The taxes oo the Guise Industry were re
mitted, although there was aome opposi
tion. It being claimed that It was not a
now Industry, but merely a transformation
of the former business conducU-d by Mr.
Gelse" In the same plant. Mayor Macrae
took the position that If the Gelse plant
waa entitled to exemption of taxes for tha
five years the Metsger company's new
bakery plant was equally entitled. At a
foimer meeting the request of the Metzge?

that It waa merely aa expansion of the

J. WalkJngton was granted permission to
conduct a saloon at Broadway and Twenty
fourth street, but It Is doubtful If he will
be permitted to open up there. Residents
In that neighborhood some time ago filed
a protoet against a license being granted
for a saloon there, and Councilman Hen
drix, who voted against It last night, stated
that his constituents had not changed their
minds. He Intimated that the court would
be appealed to for an Injunction.
Council men Maloney, Hendrlx and Wal
lace were appointed a special committee
to confer with the county supervisors,
street railway company and others relative
to securing financial assistance towards
paving lower Broadway.
The park commissioners filed a request
that tha city reinstall the electric light

though It was the opinion of some of the
councllmen that If the park board had a
surplus of funda with which to build a
$2,600 modern residence In Falrmount park,
ostensibly for a caretaker, It ought to have
ample funds to provide a light for Cochran

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Ia., March 18. (Special
Telegram.) The railroads committee of the
senate has recommended for passage a Joint
rate bill which will place the making of
Joint rates on Iowa business In the hands
of the state railroad commission. It is
a measure that will not be opposed by the
railroads.
Tho appropriations committee . reported
out the state marshal bill, but without
recommendation as to the appropriation
which It carries.
. Bnlk Sales Bill I'D.
The most of the time of discussion In
the senate waa taken up today on the
bulk sales bill, whl-h In demanded by
the Jobbers to protect them from dis
honest retail merchants. The bill requires
the giving of five days' notice to all cred
itors before a stock of goods can be sold
In bulk, and a list of the creditors must
be furnished the prospective buyer. . The
bill was championed by DeWolf and later
by Saunders. Bruce offered an amend
ment making It apply only where the sel
ler Is Insolvent and Glllllland wanted It to
apply only to debts because of the business,
and both amendments were defeated. Other
amendments were offered to punish for
misuse of Information secured In this way.
The bill waa strongly urgod as a measure
necessary to the protection of creditors and
especially wholesalers and bankers; but
the opposition came from the belief that
It would subject a merchant to unneces
sary and perhapa dangerous restrictions in
his business. The bill was passed, S3 to
10.
