JOHN LAMOKT DEAD Prominent Business Man Passes Away. ACTIVE IN FRATERNITIES Long Resident of This .City and Leaves Host of Friends Suc cumbs After Long Battle With Lingering Disease. John Lamont, politician, business man ana prominent member of different fra ternal societies, died at his home. Third and Mill streets, at 11:15 o'clock yester day mornintr from cancer of the jaw. The deceased had been a. sufferer from the fatal malady for over two years, and about six months ago underwent an oper ation at the Good Samaritan Hospital whereby the left half of his lower jaw was removed In en effort to check the cancerous growth. The operation failed to remove all the infected tissue and about four weeks ago the cancer again beoarne troublesome, this time to such an extent that his recovery was doubtful, owing to the impossibility of a second op eration. Mr. Lamont had been active in local politics ever since his arrival in this city. His affiliations were with the Democratic party and he has been mentioned on sev eral occasions as the candidate of that party for the nomination of Sheriff, May or and other offices, but always declined to have his name placed before a conven tion and after the direct primary law, on the ballot. He bore a reputation for honesty and integrity In business and social life that had earned him a host of friends who sincerely regret his death. The funeral arrangements have not yet been definitely arranged, but will be under the supervis ion of the Portland lodge of Elks, and will probably be completed as soon as his daughter arrives from La Crosse, Wis. John Lamont was born in Chautauqua County. N. T.. June 9. 184, passing his early childhood la 'Western New York. ter moving to Dane County, Wisconsin, where he grew up on a farm. In 1867, he went into business for himself, handling farm machinery In Madison, Wis., and shortly afterwards becoming a manufac turer of agricultural implements at the Wisconsin capital. In 1S95, Mr. Lamont came to Portland and reorganized the old Columbia Tele phone Company and remained at the head of this concern until It was sold out to the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company, about five years ago. Since that time he had been engaged in various pursuits, chiefly real estate and Insurance, and at the time of his death f If " ' ' " " i it ; ' i'Tj i v5 'f ; tlx ? j H I h ' ,4 s . - lf "Si . ' j I - I , J T inrriisii r niift-riiri a i " Ti it r"-- t The Late John lamont. he was the senior -member of the realty firm of Lamont & Harris. Mr. Lamont ranked among the most im portant fraternity men of the state. He was past master of La Crosse Lodge, No. 6, A. P. & A. M., prominent member of Madison Chapter, No. i. Royal Arch Masons, and also of Robert McCoy Com mandery Knights Templar. He was also a member of Bl Kadlr Temple, Mystic Shrine. He was exalted ruler of the Portland Lodge. No. 142. B. P. O. E.. for the year 1902-3. He was prominent in Democratic political circles though never an office-seeker. At the same time he liked a good old-fashioned political fight too well to keep out of the lists. He Is survived by his wife and three Children, Samuel and Brown Lamont and Mrs. Marguerite Wolfe, wife of a lead ig lawyer of La Crosse, Wis. SIMP THE COURTS Vast Accumulation of Legal Business Awaits Judges. WHEN BANK HOLIDAYS END All Tribunals, It Is Expected, Will Resume Business December 16, After a Long Period of Enforce! Idleness. Legal business sufficient to swamp a regiment of magistrates awaits the open ing of the State Circuit Court. The four departments will take up the grind on the first day tnat is not a bank hoUday, in accordance with an announcement made by Presiding Judge Cleland. It will take months for the Circuit Court, as well as the County Court, to make up for lost time. During the holiday period, which began October 28 and bids fair to end next Saturday, the County Court house departments have been transacting no business except of a purely statistical or routing nature. No trials have been had, no decision announced, and no pa pers received for filing. All cases en tered on the regular calendars for Octo ber, November and December have been passed up to the present time, and will continue to be treated In that manner until the holidays are at an end. The re-opening wlU be not greatly dis similar to releasing the floodgates of a river. Cases will be filed In a veritable flood, for there Is not a lawyer in the city who has not from two to a score of cases ready to thrust into court. Divorce proceedings, civil and criminal cases, pe titions and settlements of estates, de murrers, answers, cross-complaints, ap pealsall will pour out of their pigeon, holes to flood the courts. Cases already passed are to be given TO STOCKMEN. We want carload lots of cattle, calves, sheep. Jambs and hogs. Also dressed veal, pork and poultry. We guarantee immediate payment for all purchases in U. S. gold coin. FRANK L. SMITH MEAT CO. preference in the trials. Of the 92 cases now docketed in the different divisions of the Circuit Court, 62 have been passed and will require re-settlng. It is only to be expected that they will be given preferenoe over new cases. The order of passing will be observed In the re-setting. In event the holidays are declared at an end next Saturday, the courts will be gin their grind on the Monday follow ing, and the panel of Jurors will be noti fied to appear for service on that date. The work will be as evenly divided as possible among the three Judges, Cleland, Oantenbeln and O'Day. In the meantime a successor to the late Judge Frazer will doubtless be appointed, as the emer gency requires a man for the place as quickly as possible. Even then there will be considerable inconvenience, for Judge Fraaer had his work well in band. It will be particularly difficult for a new man to take up the Juvenile Court work. Unless a successor to Judge Frazer is appointed In the meantime, the work will fall on the three Judges, as business has piled up corre spondingly in outside districts, and con sequently it will not be practicable to transfer a judge for the emergency. The congestion in the County Court has likewise assumed serious proportions, where 64 probate cases are awaiting ac tion. Of this number, 48 estates are ready for final accounting, four are up on cita tions to sell real estate, and one on a citation to show cause. Among the important cases that will be decided expeditiously Is that bearing on the validity of the city bond issue. Tomorrow, Tuesday, will be the last day for discount on West Side gas bills.

Government Spending; $60,000,009 to Reclaim 3,198,000 Acres of Land From the Desert. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (Special.) Sixty million dollars Is being spent by the Government on 25 projects for the re clamation of arid lands in the West. After a few years, when these projects are complete, 8,198,000 acres will be added to the arable land of the country- This will ,be more than the total crop area of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hamp shire and Florida combined. Moreover, the new land will be of ex treme richness; much of it is' in a warm climate, where the growing sea son is long, and it has such certainty as regards water supply that the farmer need never worry over the weather. Under such conditions what Is called "Intensive" farming is re sorted to. The farmer finds that a few acres are sufficient to make him inde pendent, provided he has the choicest of the irrigated lands. The valley of the Salt River, in Central Arizona, was the scene of the earliest known effort in the direction of Irrigation of lands on this continent; at least Irri gation was attempted there In prehistoric times by the Aztecs or their contemporar ies. The old ditches can still be traced, and it is curious that the new ones follow the same lines in many places. This same locality formed the headquarters for Geronlmo and the murderous Apaches un der his leadership. Today these same Apaches are wielding the shovel and pick In place of the tomahawk and knife, for they hafc been employed by the Govern ment to aid in construction work. This valley, where the Aztecs, Apaches and other Indians found conditions so much to their liking, is today the scene of the greatest of all of the projects for the reclamation of land. The chief fea ture in the work of reclamation will be the great Roosevelt dam, which In some respects, will eclipse all others in the world. This was originally called the Tonto dam, but was renamed for the President, who signed the reclamation act. The Roosevelt dam will impound the biggest artificial body of water in the world. The lake which Is to be formed will be 25 miles long and one to five miles In width. This project involved the expenditure of t6,500.O0O, which will be re paid to the Government within 10 years by those whose lands are benefited. Arleta Artisans Elect.
