THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 22, 1909 ' - . - 1 WILL CONTEST IS ON FOR S 1 B 0 . 0 D 0 Stubblefield Heirs Renew Hot , Fight at Pendleton With Increased Bitterness. GREAT ESTATE INVOLVED Wealthy farmn Left Money to Home for "Widows and Orphans, Giv ing Relatives Only $40,000 of His Fortune. PENDLETON. Ot., June 21. (Special.) I With 160.000 and the existence of the ! Stubblefield home at WtrUa Walla - at I stake, the assault upon the will of ! Joseph L. Stubblefield was renewed here this afternoon. A petition for a construction of the will and an order declaring the clause pro 1 vldlng for the establishment of the home void, filed by Mrs. Stubblefield prior to ! her death, was renewed by her heirs, acting through Attorney C. E. Cochran, : of La Grande, and IMstrict Attorney G. , W. Phelps, of this city. As a result of ; the renewing of this petition. Judge Gil ' llland this afternoon appointed George O. Cochran, of La Grande, administrator of Mrs. Stubblefield's estate, and made an order requiring the trustees of the home to come into court by July 15 and show cause why the clause creating the home should not be declared void. Stubblefield, a wealthy resident of the cast end of Umatilla County, died in the Kail of 1902. leaving an estate in this : county valued at $300,000. His will pro ! vtded that about $40,000 of this Bhould I go to relatives and the residue of $160. 000 into a trust fund for the mainte- nance of a home for indigent widows ; and orphans. The home was to be either in Walla Walla or Pendleton, whichever city would donate $10,000 for the purchase of a site and erection of a building. Walla Walla t secured the money, and the home was es ! tabllshed there in 1906. Four years ago Mrs. Stubblefield filed her contest petition and this was im- mediately followed by the filing of a suit I In the Walla Wall court to prevent her prosecuting the case in courts of this I county. The proceedings here were ac- cordlngly postponed until the Washlna ' ton litigation should be settled. Mean while Mrs. Stubblefield died and the heirs are just now renewing the fight which ; she started, notwithstanding the fact ( that the Washington court enjoined her from proceeding with the contest here. It Is alleged that the clause of the will providing for the establishment of the home is void for the reason that it is Indefinite. The principal contention is that It does not state what part of the Income from the trust fund shall be used for the maintenance of the home, mak ing It possible for the trustees to substi tute their own will for that of the tes 1 tator. NEW PEST DEATH FOUND Sagebrush Boiled In Water Is Ex celent Exterminator. NORTH TAKIMA. Wash., June 21. (Special.) It has been found tha a li quor made by boiling sagebrush in water Is a most effective exterminator of tree pests. Ed. Hartman, foreman on the Pat Mullins ranch, six miles out of the city, made the discovery. He has been using this solution for some time and says he has found it more effective than , any other spray. He was led to the dis covery by noticing that none of the common pests ever attacked sagebrush. He then made the solution and tried it In his orchards with the result that all the ordinary pests were killed. In addi- tlon to this spray being effective its ; "hlef advantage is the fact that It costs , nothing and can be manufactured at any 1 time in any quantity. Mr. Hartman has ! withheld the announcement of his dis covery until he had thoroughly tested it , by repeated applications in his 'own orchards. : WILDCAT PURSUES OFFICER Vancouver Policeman Not Sure of Aim, So Docs Not Vse Gun.

GRADING CONTRACT LET Strahorn Road Will Enter RichsZel- lah Park Fruit Section of Yak ima Valley Right of Way Is Costly. SPOKANE. Wash.. June 21. (Spe cial.) The North Coast Railway will be electrified over the summit of the Cascades, and work has been started on a big power plant on the Cowlitz River t.o generate electricity for this purpose. By running about eight miles of flume lines from the two principal forks of the Cowlitz River a little west of the summit of the Cascades and con centrating them at a common point, the company will secure an 800-foot fall, developing approximately 30,000 horsepower. This power wiir be used to transfer the heavy trains by elec tric motors over the summit, a process of transportation being adopted by the Milwaukee and Great Northern roads. President Robert E. Strahorn an nounces that a contract has- been let for 16 miles of grading through the Zellah Parker fruit districts, one of the choicest fruit regions of the Yaki ma Valley, to Case Eshbach, a Wash ing contracting company which has done considerable grading for the North Coast. This district was the scene of a sharp fight between the Strahorn line and the Northern Pacific for right of way, and the matter finally went into the courts, but was settled amicably, the North Coast winning. The right of way alone through this great belt is costing between $8000 and $10,000 a mile, and it is estimated the grading and track installation will cost fully $20,000 a mile. This terri tory is believed to be one of the best shipping districts on the line. Many of the fruit farms ship from 200 to 300 cars of fruit each season.
