His searching was entirely unexpected by me and without a search warrant of any kind." DAN KEARNEY, MRS. DAN KEARNEY. IS TO These are the signed statements of four persons living at 422 Main street - in a rooming house which was search ed Tnesday morning at 8:30 or o'clock by Sd Shaw, chief of police. Mrs. Kearney is the landlady of the house, Mrs. Kerr the person living in the rooms which were searched, Mrs, Mar another woman living in the building, and Mr. Kearney the land lord. Ail wno are connected with the rooming house charge that the chief searched the rooms occupied by Mrs. Kerr without a search warrant and without the permission of any kind. On Gambling Clue. Chief Shaw had heard several state ments that gambling was going on in the rooms in the rear of Buse s sa loon at 422 Main street and ordered his officers to keep a close watch on the building. Tuesday moring he de termined to search the rooms. There is a door between the saloon and the two rooms covered by a curtain. The chief asked Buse for a key and the latter unlocked the door. But there was a catch on the inside which held the door fast although the key was turned. The two men, Shaw and Buse, shook the door and demanded that it be un locked until Kerr, awakened by the noise, looked through the small glass at the top and saw the chief. Kerr works until late at night and was asleep when the cries of the two of the saloon side of the door awakened him. Chief Impatient. Kerr asked for time to dress but Shaw and Buse continued to demand that the door be unlocked and rattled the door, it Is said. At last, Kerr opened the door and the room was searched with the result that neither the officer or the saloon-keeper could find a trace of any gambling article. The two rooms, which are on the ground floor, are rented to Mr. and Mrs. Kerr by Mrs. Kearney, the land lady. The latter rents the entire building from Buse, excepting that part occupied by the saloon. Official Wrath Appeared. After Shaw and Buse were satisfied that they could find nothing in the rooms of the Kerr family, they went op to the second floor and found Mrs. Kearney. They asked her if there was "any gambling going on" in the building and she replied that there was not. When an officer searches the pri vate living rooms of any persons he put himself liable to a damage suit, . according to a prominent local attor ney. "Every man's home is his own castle and can not be searched with out proper papers," the lawer ex plained. Chief Shaw claims that he did not know that the rooms were the living rooms and that he thought that they were used merely for storing purposes. He issued the following statement: Chief Tells His Story. "I heard that there was gambling going on in Buse's saloon in the back part and Friday night I came dowr. here and night Officer George Wood ward and I watched the house but there was nothing going on that eight. I told him to keep close watch with Officer Lee French and if the saw anything suspicious going on they were to call me up. Nothing hap hened. "Last night I heard that there were games running In there, so this morn ing I went in about nine o'clock to Mr. Buse, the owner of the saloon an 1 asked him if he rented all the building and sub-rented it and he said 'yes.' 1 asked him if he had a key to the door between the saloon and the rooms in the back and be replied thut he had. He unlocked the door but was fast ened on tbe inside and he knocked on the door. A man pulled the curtain on the door aside and Buse said, 'Open the door.' The man opened the door. Was Ignorant of Facts. Buse did not say that be bad rented the room to a man and his wife. When I entered 1 said that tbe room did not look like a gambling room. "Then we went up stairs to see if there was anthing doing on up there and there was two ladies in the ball I asked her if there was any gambling going on In any of tbe rooms and she said 'no.' She offered to take me through the rooms but I told ber that she need not trouble and tnat i wouia take her word rcr It "There has been gambling going oa In those rooms in the past and I can prove It" (Western Stock Journal.) The days of th open range fur rat tle In Oregon are past. The groat utt fenced ranges In Kastero and Central Oregon ,are rapidly being cut up am fenced Into smaller tracks. Willi this change comes the necessity of grow ing feed for the stork and farmers and slock misers of Central Oregon are turning to the production of corn and are demonstrating to the world that they can grow It to advantage. One of the centers of this agricult ural industry In Malheur County is Hrogan. Quoting from the Sunday Journal of November 16, we reprint letter from H. C. Skinner of that city An Item of great Importance, great er perhaps than the fruit shipments, la the amount and quality of corn which has been produced in and near Brogan. It was raised In a corn conn try and on a farm and I have never seen any better, larger or bettor ma tured corn than has been produced in this section. "Messrs. Lanoir, Addlngton. love less, Hreedlove, Woodard, Wagner, Coleman and Mitchell have produced a large acreage of splendid corn. No better corn can be shown In Iowa. Illinois, Nebraska or any of tbe Middle West states. These states have become rich through this great est of all food production and It is saie to predict that Malheur county will In the end derive wonderful prosperity from corn. It will bring thousands to the country and will promote the cat tie fattening industry beyond all pre cedent. Hogs will be shipped out of this section in trainloads as soon as It becomes generally known what can be done with corn. Brogan is particularly well situ ated for the production of corn ami fruit. Nestled close to the hills on slightly elevated benches, with the Willow river canyon gently drawing the air through its narrow channel. keeping a perpetual motion, there crc no late nor early frosts. Corn can be planted two weeks ahead of any part of the Middle States and makes a mag nlficent and unchecked growth, matur ing at least two weeks ahead of those states. "Brogan is also fortunuto in having a class of farmers who are progressive and willing to make trial of different plants that they may determine thut which will produce the best. "Thus they have made a hit with com In spite of the pessimistic knock er who has Insisted upon cutting wild hay and feeding sage brush. "Malheur County baa thousands of acres of grazing land with will grow the cattle and sheep, and now Bro gan has demonstrated that they can furnish the product that will finish them for the market, thereby getting the full value of tbe steer to help build up our own country." This is a testimonial of what can be and is bcing done in various other parts of the Northwest. Not only have Malheur county farms, but also farm ers of other points in Central Oregon and the Willamette Valley as well, demonstrated it is a success. Those who have taken up corn growing have proven it can be made a paying crop. In a few years it should be one of the most valuable products of the versa tile soil of Oregon. With the output of a large corn crop at immediate hand, stoekralserc can grow and fatten thousands of bogs and instead of the Northwest import ing a large per cent of its pork, there will be sufficient for its consumption and a surplus for exporting. Too much stress cannot be laid up on the selection of the seed corn. Farmers intending to give this crop a trial should bp are no care or money to secure the best seed available as it will pay them In the Increased value of their crop. And this seed should be selected as early In the season as possible for, at best, it is not plenti ful. Do not be in a hurry to judge wheth er corn can be grown to advantage on your land. One season is not a fair trial. There are failures In corn crops as well as other grains and although you may not get a valuable crop the first year that is no reason you never will. Success of any kind is only gained by "sticking to it" and the farmer who keeps this motto plainly in sight will eventually harvest a valu able corn crop here In tbe Northwest LAW STRIKES Circus Stunts Are Put Into Shmfe iinniun iimr " Jb nUlL By City Team ELECTION IS APPROVED INTEREST fi IN BETTER DEPLORES CONDITIONS IN THE COUNTY 8CHOOLS AND THE TENDENCY TO TAMPER GARY IS CHAMPION Of EDUCATION Maintains Instructors Stand For Mor ality and Christianity Wagner Believes Athletic Work Pays Big Revenues Two horses turned complete sumer- CIRCUIT JUOQI HOLDS THAT saulte on the streets of Oregon City Haturdny when one of (hem slipped on the pavement, vaulted Into the air and landed on his bark and the other promptly followed the example.

The out of towu speakers were Rev. William M. Proc tor, formerly pastor of the Oregon City Congregational church, and now a member of the factully of I'aclflc 1'ul versity, and B. 8. Huntington, a Port hnd attorney. The former talked of the educational problem with special reference to the percentage of pupils who are retarded In their work and reasons therefor, and Mr. Huntington took a rather pessimistic view of pres ent conditions In tbe sch.-Ui of the country. He depiore. incidentally the present day tendency to tamper with tbe constitution and laws of the state and nation. Dr. Kenneth Latourette, of Oregon City, discussed educational work from the religious viewpoint, and Fred J S. Toose, superintendent of the Ore gon City schools , was exceedingly hopeful of the future. He declared the greatest educational institution In the world Is the home, and he touched upon questions of social hygiene. T. J. Gary, formerly superintendent of Cluokamus county schools, and now teacher of Knglish In the I'ort land School of Trades, maintained hat morality and Christianity are aught In the public schools, contro erting some of the statements of M Huntington. Mr. Gary talked of his new work In the metropolis.

This Is the gist of Judge J. U. Camobell's decision In the circuit court after several hours of hear ing of argument Thursday night. He went Into the case thoroughly from every angle, held that the prohibition Issue was properly placed on the ballot, that the weta should have asked for restrain ing order before the question was submitted to the vote, and that all of the ballots case were legal ones. The court refused to review the sctlon of the county clerk or of the county court on the ground that the wets had. In their com plaint, alleged no fraud of any kind and that he would Investi gate their acts only when the complaint charged fraudulent votes or misconduct on the part of the county officials.

WILLAMETTE MAY JOIN NEIGHBOR MOVEMENT STARTED TO GET TWO TOWNS TOGETHER IN ONE GOVERNMENT FUR FLIES AT CLUB MEETING WEST LINN CHARTER DISCUSSED BY ITS FRIENDS AND ALL FAVOR IT ARE CONFIDENT OF ITS SUCCESS Provisions Are Considered and All Present Think that People Will Adopt it at Polls This Month Talks FIGHT ON CHARTER IS REAL CAUSE People Want to Get Some Sort of a System as Soon as Possible and Believe Annexation is Easiest Way Out KIRK DIVORCE GRANTED Ida Kirk received a divorce decree from Nate Kirk In the circuit court of the county Saturday afternoon after evidence was submitted snowing inai the defendant had treated tbe plaintiff in a cruel and Inhuman manner and that he bad failed to prorid her with the common necessities of We. A movement has been started i:i Willamette to annex that city to West Linn. A petition has been prepared and will probably be circulated the fore part of this week. Willamette has made several at tempts to establish a city government but each time the charter has been found to be illegal when brought to tne courts. It Is probably due to this that the present agitation has been started to Join with their neighbor to the north. There is a movement on foot on the part of certain citizens In Willamette to form some sort of solid government In the town even if It is necessary to Join West Linn. In order to unite Willamette with West I.lnn It would be necessary to secure a majority in both cities. Such an annexation would add about $70,00o in taxable property to the 2,420,OvO already possessed by the latter town. On December 29 the voters in Wesi Liinn ana a small proportion of Wil lamette will vote on the question of the former city annexing a small part of Willamette. This piece of terri tory contains about 20 votes and lies along tne southwestern boundary of West Linn. ' Willamette will rote for the second time on December 22 on Its new char ter. Several weeks ago the charter carried by a small majority. The elec tion was found to be illegal and it will be necessary to bring tba question be fore the people for second time. "Those opposing the charter are either ignorant or telling malicious ins, irom a letter read by H. T. Mc Ilaln. "Vote for this charter. If you don't like it, we will amend it later to suit the majority," James Carey. These two brief and concise state ments summarize tbe feeling of the meeting of the West Linn Improve ment club held Thursday evening in the city hall, in regard to the proposed charter for West Linn. Not one member present was of the opinion that the charter would be de feated. In a straw vote taken of ah the 70 or more present, not one voted against it. Despite the fact that be tween twenty and twenty-five speeches were made, not a word was Bpoken which would show disapproval of the new set of laws. The meeting held Thursday night was one of the best attended gather ings of the club since Its organization. The city hall was crowded to the doors and every chair in the room was occupied. Ilefore the discussion on, the char ter was opened by the president, sev eral matters of routine business were transacted. J. E. Hedges, the Oregon city attorney, addressed the meeting, taking for his topic the feeling of har mony and the spirit of unselfish boost that should dominate the people of a new city. The greater part of the meetlne was taken up by a discussion of the char ter. The president invited anyone to voice his objections or to state the strong points of the charter. The first specific point of the char ter to be taken up was that part of It which related to the Improvement of streets and the repair of sidewalks This item created considerable discus sion but the general opinion was con sidered as favoring the charter. Although It was expected that the no-license feature of the charter would be the subject of much argu ment, not one word was spoken about this. the displays of the buying houses snd that the city will become a renter for the canning and preserving of fruit. beveral business men have become interested In the proposition lo built a factory In the city. They have taken the Interest In the deal for sometime and the determination of the scretary of the commercial club lo put the mat ter over has again stirred up talk for the concern. Is Assurred. While, as yet. no definite steps have been taken, the secretary considers such a proposition an assurred fact. In those sections of the fruit belt where canneries have been establish ed, they have always proved success ful and have been paying propositions, he says. The Bcheme is the result of the con ference which he attended of the Slate Horticultural society at Cortland, for the past few days In which the merit of such an Institution were mcntlone.1 and several Interesting speeches mad" by heads of various concerns through the state. The huMness has been made to produce revenues In several of the western fruit belts and to estalt llsh the Industry in (lie eyes of the eastern buyers. Creates Market Resides the marketing of the fresh fruit In the ordinary ways, tho grow ers' associations have oftentimes put in these canneries and sent out the apples either fresh or preserved and have established a new market for this branch of the Industry. Just how much such a cannery would cost the growers and business men of the coun ty has not yet been estimated as the plans have been more or less Imma ture, although the fact that the can nery will be built Is said to be Bottled.

In his argument, Chris Schuhcl con tended the only request for a restrain ing order thnt the wets could make would be after the officers of the city and county had attempted to put the meusiire In force after Junuary I. He thought that at that lime only could the rase be mnde a test proposition and carried Into (he courts by the sa loons. The little word "Its" played an Im portant part In the proceeding, lu a sentence In the decision of Justice llurnett, the court held that the cliy could hold "Its" election at a cerium time In November of any year.

He also held that tho entire procceduro was wrong and that the statute places a certain definite dale at which such elections must be held. He wanted to know who gave the county clerk the authority to hold a city election and said that the peopl'i had marched up to the polls "like cattle" and voted when tho county clerk had called an experimental or tenatlve election.
