GETS $5000 FOR LOSS OF LOVE
Alienation of Affection Case Upheld
by Supreme Court.
9ALBM, Or.. Feb. IS. (Special.) The
Supreme Court today affirmed a Judgment
for $5000 In favor of W. H. Ireland against
Albert J. .Ward for the alienation of the
affections of plaintiff's wife. This case
was tried In Lane County before Judge L.
T.- Harris. The opinion of the Supreme
Court is by Justice Moore. Other cases
decided are:
Howard Winter, respondent, vs. Union
Fishermen's Go-Operative Packing Com
pany, appellant, from Multnomah County;
Alfred F. Sears, Judge, reversed; opinion
by Chief Justice Beau.
In the case of Oregon Electric Com
pany, appellant, vs. Terwllllger I-and
Company, et al, respondents, from Mult
nomah County, a motion to retax .costs
is denied and the court, in an opinion by
Justice Moore, lays down an important
rule of interest to lawyer. It is held
that where a respondent has knowledge
of grounds for dismissal of appeal for
want of Jurisdiction he Is not entitled to
. recover for disbursements made after trial
in the court below. It Is said that there
are several cases now pending in the
Supreme Court where respondents are
. likely to lose the cost of briefs because
they had them prln'ted without first
urging thelr motion to dismiss appeal.
INDIANS FIGHT FOR RIGHTS
, .-
Vakimas Claim Whites Rob Them
of Fishing Privileges.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. Feb. IS.
(Special.) Early in March James R. Gar
... field. Secretary of the Interior Depart--..
ment, will conduct a final hearing of all
the claimants in the long-continued con
troversy over the waters of Ahtahnum
Creek, in this valley, between the white
farmers and the Indians of the Yakima
reservation. The difficulty over this dis
pute. In which very extensive Interests
are involved, has at times amounted al
most to a neighborhood war.
In the Federal treaty with the Yakima
. Indians in 1855-6, the latter were given
, the exclusive fisheries rights in the Ah-
. . tannum, the only instance In the North
west In which such rights "were exclu-
. . stvely conferred. Whether or not the cen
ter of the stream is the boundary, as
established at that time. Is the chief.
question to be determined. If it be, the
Indians claim that their fisheries rights
Are practically destroyed, for during the
Irrigation season the creek is robbed of
its water. r

Tacoma Democrats Don't Take'Kind

TACOMA, Wash., Feb. is; (Special.)
A faction of the Democrats, who believe
the recent "sugge-stlng" convention an
. evasion, if. not a violation, of the direct
primary law. has. determined to enjoin
the City Clerk from placing the name of
George P. Wright on the Democratic
ballot as a candidate for Mayor at the
primaries. Legal action will be com
menced toward this end within a - few
days, and a decision from the courts
obtained as promptly as possible. The
anti-admln'tstration Democrats say the
object of the convention was- purely to
keep more than one set of Democratic
candidates from entering the field. It
was exactly the same procedure, they say.
as they had railed at "under the old
regime and to correct which the law was
passed. . f .
Charles Drury, candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination In opposition to Wright,
refused to either affirm or deny the pro
posed legal maneuver. But it was learned
from some of those interested in his
candidacy that a suit would soon be com
menced to test the validity of the "sug
gested" nominations.

Leonard Kass, ah inmate of the Soldlera'
Home at Ortlng, who left there yesterday

end of his tightly-clutched cane was rest
ing on the third rail and the electric cur
rent was passing through his body. Train
men reported that it was with great diffi
culty that he was removed from the
track. The electric current and exposure
render the old man's condition serious.
His face and body are badly bruised, ap
parently the result of a fall.
He was unable to talk, but his identity
was learned through papers on his person.

WHY. ELK KDT PROTECTED
REPRESENTATIVE CHASE IS
BLAMED BY GOVERNOR.
Bill Passed by - Legislature Was
-' Plainly Void and Executive
-Therefor Vetoed It.
SALEM, Or.,' Feb. 18. (To the Editor.)
In The Oregonlan of February 17 is a
communication from W. C. Chase, Rep
resentative from Coos County, blaming
the Governor for vetoing House bill No.
124, which, he. says, ' waa . Introduced by
him and passed by the Legislature of
1907 for the protection of elk,: His letter
misstates the reasons assigned by me for
vetoing his bill, and he'shows the same
ignorance now on the subject he displayed
when he prepared the bill in question.
His Ignorance of the law and of his duties
as a Legislator is responsible for the lack
of any law protecting elk, and a trecital
of the facts will convince any one. that
my position is correct, as my action was
in vetoing the bill in question.
House bill No. i'ii, which he says he
Introduced and had passed, is entitled as
follows: "An act to amend section 2011
of - Bellinger and Cotton's Annotated
Codes and Statutes of Oregon." There
was no such section of Bellinger and Cot
ton's Annotated Codes " and Statutes of
Oregon in 1907, for Xbe reason that at the
special session of the Legislature held In
1903 an act was passed, known as Senate
bill JCo 14, entitled as follows: "An acf
tor an act to amend sections 2011 'and 2026.
of Bellinger and- Cotton's Annotated
Codes and Statutes of Oregon." This lat
ter act was filed in the office of the Sec
retary of State December 24, 1903. House
bill 424, introduced by Mr. Chase, Instead
of amending a section of the statute
which was not In existence, should have
amended the act of the special session
of 1903 which had been enacted in the
place and stead of section 2011 of Bel
linger and Cotton's Annotated Codes and
Statutes of Oregon.
If House bill No. 434 ltad been approved
by me It would have been a nullity and
violative of the constitution of this Btate,
and I returned It to the House with the
following message:,.
' "I return you herewith House bill No.
434 with my disapproval. It purports to
amend section 2011 of Bellinger and Cot
ton's Annotated Codes and Statutes. The
section referred to was amended at the
special session of the Legislature held In
1903. The bill under consideration should
be amendatory of the act last referred
to. and inasmuch as it is not it cannot
have any force or effect. I therefore rer.
turn it to you with my disapproval."
Mr. Chase in his letter mentions my
calling attention In my veto to a law of
1906, which, he says. Is fonnd on page
218 of the laws of that session. I made
no such reference. . ,
. Mr. Chase is. primarily responsible for
the fact that there-is no law in force for
the protection of elk. He claims to be a
lawyer and ought to have known enough
to prepare an amendatory .'statute. His
Ignorance in this respect does not excuse
him for entirely misquoting and misrepre
senting the reasons assigned in my mes
sage for vetoing his pretended bill, be
cause the veto is a public record and he
could have had access to it if he had
wanted to be fair. '
I do not usually answer such criticisms
as his, but his letter Is so palpably un
fair and so lame an excuse for his own
ignorance that I feel it my duty to net
,the people right and to place tho re
sponsibility for the slaughter of . elk
where it properly belongs. . '.

pose of reaching the people and. the
enterprises that ar needed in Oregon."
How 'Portland Does the Trick.
He told how Portland, through its or
ganization, offered a $5000 prize for an
essay - on the resources of Oregon and
thereby secured advertising that would
have cost $50,000 If paid for at usual news
paper rates.
"Publicity" was the subject assigned to
CHOSEN CAPTAIN WASHINGTON
STATE COLLEGE ELEVEN.
Herbert Wexler, '10.
PULLMAN. Wash.. Feb. 18. (Spe
cial.) Herbert Wexler, sophomore at
the Washington State College, . was
today unanimously elected captain of
the football team for the season of
. 1908. This year as captain will be
his last, as he has already played
three seasons. His position Is right
guard.
A. L. Mills, who told of the old and
valueless manner of paying for occasional
"wrlteups" in Eastern newspapers and
magazines, "before Tom Richardson blew
in on a malarial breeze from New Or
leans and taught the Commercial Club
of Portland how to conduct effective ad
vertising." ' -
C. H. Carey, attorney for the Oregon
electrie railroad, prefaced his remarks
by saying that in these days of attack
upon '-"predatory wealth -and railroad
octopi" a man could hardly be expected
to get up and speak In praise of a rail
road. K
He .said that , the Oregon electric was
btiljt for busViess, that no bonds have
been , Issued and that the road will be
operated solely with a view to getting
business. He described the rich agri
cultural region through which the line
runs and predicted that within a few
years . a dense population of prosperous
citizens will occupy . the land now em
braced within large farms.
Hartog's Terse Answer.
John H. Hartog. manager of the Eugene
Commercial Club, gave the people of
Salem a practical demonstration In
"boosting." . Answering . the question
"What has made Eugene?" he asserted
that "the hammer that Is knocking else
where is building houses in Eugene.'
Then he proceeded to "boost" for Eugene.
With the utmost earnestness and appar
ent sincerity he declared that Eugene is
not a rival of Salem, that it has passed
that stage 6f its growth and is now close
upon the heels of Portland. He gave an
interesting account of how the Eugene
Commercial Club conducts its advertising
work.
Though J. P. O'Brien, of the Southern
Pacific, had declined a place upon the
programme, he . was called for and the
crowd would not be satisfied until he re
sponded. Speaking of the trolley line be
tween Salem and -Portland he said that
electric lines are great developers and
that this line will aid greatly In develop-
the territory through which it runs. He
predicted that It will some day be a
steam road, and expressed a desire to
know where it will ultimately run, but he
felt confident that the Southern Pacific
will continue to do business in this section
of the state.
- Governor Makes s Hit.
Governor Chamberlain made the hit of
the evening by his plea for open rivers
and improved harbors. After a few good-
natured Jests at the expense of the people
of Salem, he took up the subject of de
velopment and declared that the chief
value of the Oregon Electric . will arise
from the fat that it is a competing line
and will effect a reduction of freight
rates. ,
"Competition in transportation Is
what the Willamette Valley needs to
aid Its development," he exclaimed
amid great applause. "There should
be competition, not only between rail
lines, but between the river and the
railroads," he continued, "and this can
not be fully attained until the locks at
Oregon City aro made free and the toll
upon Willamette Valley freight has
been removed. We have been told this
evening that 15,000,000 pounds of
prunes were shipped from the Valley
this year. The lockage charge of i0
cents a ton .means that the shippers of
the Willamette Valley paid on prunes
alone $3750 more freight than . they
ought. And this same excessive charge
applies to all the freight traffic tribu
tary to the river. Competition between
rail lines should cause no Jealousy, and
competition between river and rail will
cause no loss, for improved transporta
tion facilities and reduced charges will
result in rapid development and corre
sponding Increase in traffic, which will
more than make up for the reduction
In rate."
Hint to Salem Boosters. '

asserted by Charles E. Ladd. who told
of the growth of Los Angeles, Seattle
and other towns.
"You have here In the Willamette Val
ley everything that nature can give you;
now it is up to you to get In and take
advantage of the favorable conditions
that exist," he said during a discussion
of the "Need of Advertising the Oppor
tunities That Await the Easterner in
This 'State."
o. a. josselyn, of the Portland Generic
Eleetrlc Company, told of the dilapidated
condition of the electric light and gas
plants at the time his company acquired
them a few months ago, and announced
that beginning yesterday electricity has
been supplied from the. electric plant at
Oregon City and that arrangements have
been made for the installation 01 a new
gas plant. He related in detail some of
the difficulties his company has had with
the City of Salem over concrete bridges
and street paving and said that the dif
ferences have been settled. He said that
with united effort in advertising, Baiem
hould have a oopulatlon of 25.000 in nie
years, at wmcn time he believed his com
pany's plant in this city would De a pay
ing investment, something .It has never
been in the past.
Blessed With Gcd's Good Things.
"Cod hu eiven you everything you
could ask for," he said, speaking of gen
eral conditions in the valley, "and it rests
with you to say what use you shall make
of your opportunities."
T. S. Townsend, president of the Port
land Board of Trade, told of the rapid
development of dairying and said that the
reason why butter in Oregon is 1 cents a
pound higher than in the East is that
demand for butter has Increased more
rapidly than production and that there Is
great opportunity for those who wish to
eneaee In dairvine. He urged that aid in
the form of loans be extended to men who
will buy cows and engage In dairying.
President P. L. Campbell, of tne uni
versity of Oregon, . congratulated the peo
ple of Salem upon the' completion of the
electric line between Portland and Salem
and hoped that Eugene will have an op
portunity a year hence to invite Salem to
a celebration of a similar event at mat
city. ,
The Governor also urged the need or
improvement of coast harbors and the
mouth of the Columbia.
President Campbell Applauded.
After speaking of the great . material
resources of the state he turned to the
greater resources of strong manhood and
womanhood, and made a plea for educa
tion, paying a tribute to the local institu
tion, Willamette University, which, he
said, has turned out some of the ablest
and most valuable citizens of the state.
Though he did not in any way allude
to the state university appropriation' bill,
it was apparent, from the hearty applause
his remarks received, that, the audience
felt deep Interest in the' Institution of
which President Campbell is the head.
This address closed the formal exercises.
Music for this meeting was furnished by
the Stalwart Quartet and by the Stege
Gesner Orchestra. The orchestra, com
posed of ten Saiem musicians, also enter
tained the visitors during the dinner at
the hotel.
After the adjournment of the meeting
the guests were given an informal lunch.
At a late hour the Portland visiors re
tired on board the Southern Pacific sleep

of two states much anxiety during tne
last three weeks was solved today.
when George Baker called at . police
headquarters and laid on the desk a
set of false teeth which had been the
object of search on the part of Oregon
and Washington authorities. George
Hedger, stage manager at the Columbia
Theater, was held up and robbed of a
set of false teeth, with several gold
crowns, about a month ago. -A few
days later came a report" that two men
had been arrested at Pendleton, Or.,
and a set of false teeth found on them.
So well did the bridge answer the de
scription of the one stolen in Spokane
that the Pendleton officers sent it
here, and it was not until Hedger had
pla'oed It In, his mouth that he found
the '.'dining-room ornaments" misfits.
Other articles stolen from Mr. Hedger
were recovered Monday in the rear of a
home near where Hedger was held up
and a closer search yesterday resulted
in finding the teeth.
