J is REVISIONISTS PLAN Elimination of County Courts and District Attorneys Is Proposed. OREGON LAWYERS ACTIVE Many Letter Received by Commu te Indicating That Design to Simplify Legal System IfH Approval of State Leader. At the general election in Xwnmlnr. 1312. the voters may be asked to vote on the question of the adoption In Oregon f a new Judiciary system which will rail for tha elimination of the county court aad tha district attorneys and tha simplification of probata proceeding! and tha elimination of the possibility of. graft In circuit court affaire. Tha State Judicial Revision committee t an all day session at Yeun building rtsterday went Into the detail of the sroposed revision and discussed at enth the advisability of submitting the juestton to the people through tha initiative. Whether this will r done or :he bill which are to be drafted. sub mitted to the legislature at lt 11I session will be decided at another meet Itc of the commlulon arranged yester lay for October 7, In Portland. Legal Costs Touched. ti rnmmliilon discussed tha reduc tion of the general com of legal action ; f tha opportunities of unfair dealing- Ub public service corporation! Dy on trlct or county attorney. Under tha sroposed aystem tl.e district attorney ihtp of the II district of the tte will ae eliminated and Instead a county at torney will be appointed for each of the M counties. The county attorney in tarn county will have to attend to the prosecution of all county case and at :end all meetings of county commls iloner. The Commlision voted eterday to do all It can to prevent what Is said to be tha customary system of county attorneys becoming; attorneys for pub lic service corporations. Under tha new system tha County Attorney to qualify for candidacy shall make affidavit that ha la not attorney for any public serv ice) corporation, nor a member of any law firm which la attorney for any uch corporation, either permanently or In any ease Involving tha element ol criminal Intent. At the time the County Attorney applies for his monthly salary ae must make affidavit that ha has Seen and la free from connection with my such corporations or firms. Discrimination to Be Barred. .It la said that one of the abuses of district and county attorney at present Is the accepting of the position of at torney for public service corporations. The officer la therefore unable to do his duty toward either the county or the corporation. He must discriminate against on or tha other. In probate matters new system verging on the Torrena land system Is provided, which, tha Commissioners ay. will reduce tha cost and simplify tha procedure of settling of estates and the transacting of other probate mat ters. At present there Is no way of de termining Judicially who are the legal iclra to an estate or who Is entitled :o real estate In an estate unless there s a will. T hit has been a vital de fect In the system and a source of much expense. Under tha proposed system a hearing win be held before an authorised court to determine the heirs and their Inter est In an estate, and the decision of the court will be recorded aa a deed, quieting title to al! real estate. Legal nd equitable matters will be decided In one case Instead of two. ss at pres ent. This will lessen the work of the rourt and" the expense to the public and the litigants. The clerks of the Circuit Courts will have the power to attend to formal and ex parte matters In pro bate work. Quick Action Is Ainu It la tha Intention of tha commission to make the tentative system effective aa soon aa the law goes Into effect. All probate work will go to the Circuit Courts and tha County Judaea will re main In office only aa County Commis sioners with pay aa such. In tha di-. trlcts where there are now District Attorneys whose terms do notexplre when tha law becomes effective they will be changed from District Attor neya to County Attorneys. This will leave 23 position In the state to be filled, there now being but 11 District Atomeys. It Is the lnteltlon to let the Circuit Judges appoint the County At torneys. Where no appointment la made with in 39 days It will be up to the Gover nor of the state to make the appoint ment. Tha terma of office will bo four years. That the new Judiciary system will he favorably received by the lesal fra ternity of the state Is apparent from the lettera being received by the com mission. The commission announced v.it.rilir throuah Attorney Clark that It wishes to receive letters from persons Interested In the subject and all sua gestions will be given careful consld erstlo.

April H. (Special.) Hera are two Russian stories from real life that confound the weaver of Imaginative webs. They owe nothing to fancy. The facts are vouched for by reliable witnesses. All the char acters in them are flesh-and-blood re alities today. Take flrt the tory that Is being dis cussed round every fireside In Southern Russia. Nina, the pretty lS-year-old daughter of Ueneral Karaffa. command er of the garrison st Yalta. In Uie Crimea, went to her first tall at the Officers' Club, the local center of social life. last Fall. Here she met young Boris Maklaroff. a subaltern, who bad cf me down to tha beautiful health station to recuperate after arduous military duties In Turk estan. Rorla had six months leave, and. as an officer In Hla Imperial Majesty's army, was Invited everywhere. Case Is Love at First Sight. When he and Nina met it was a case of love at first sight: but he had to wait some tlu.e before the General would allow the young couple to become en gaged. Boris was only 25. but his su perior officers sent such eulogistic let ters In rep'y to MaklarofTa Inquiries that the General said the marriage might take place in three months time. Then the young pair were to go to tha wilds of Turkestsn until the GenersTs Influence could get Boris transferred to a more congenial garrison. One day General Karaffa and Boris went out hunting the wild boar. This Is a very dangerous sport, and Boris. In finishing off a boar, waa so severely Injured that the doctors said he would be on the sick list for several weeks. The General's wife Insisted that their future son-in-law should come to their house to be nursed, as Russian hotels are exceedingly bare and uncomfortable and bis wounds needed constant atten tion. So the patient was taken to the General'a villa, and was soon on the road to recovery. Now every Greek Catholic who Is at all attached to his church wears a little cross or some relic, attached by a gold or silver chain round his r.eck. under Ms dress. One afternoon, when Boris and his future mother-in-law were left alone. Nina having been persuaded to ride out with her father. Madame Kar affa. who had been very depressed and thoughtful for soma days. saM to the patient : "Boris. I am going- to ask you a. question which you must promise to answer with absolute truth. Nlna'a Ufe happtness as well as your own depends upon It." Fatal Question Aked. "Ask anything-." laughed Borla. who could not Imagtn any cloud appear ing ta mar hla happiness. "I will an swer any questions you like." Tremb ling like a leaf she came close to him and whispered, as If there were eaves droppers around "Boris, for tha love of God tell me from where you got that cross that la round your neck." -Boris glanced at the Cross, which waa of curloua workmanship and of finely wrought gold. Hla face. too. had be came very grave. "Since I have promised to, tell you the truth." he said. "I must do so.

POWER PLANT IS RUSHED Work Rushed Day and Xlght on Big Rogue Electric Project. MEDFORD. Or, Aug. 20. (Special.) Working under the glare of scores of Incandescent and arc lights. 12S men. laboring on day and night shifts, are pushing construction of the new Pros pect power plant that will develop 40. 000 horsepower for the coming manu factories and canneries of tha Rogue River Valley. The new plant, which Is building at a cost of $300,000. Is located on Rogue River, "i miles from Medford. and the material used must be hauled to Derby on the Pacific at Eastern Railroad, and thence taken by wagon 30 ml lea over a recently constructed wagon road. Reaching Prospect, It must ba let down MORNING OR THE .1 so!srr5- I told the General about It before I asked leaye to marry your daughter, and he agreed wtlh tha Admiral that It waa better that Nina and you should, like the rest of the world, think of mo as the Admiral's real son. You have seen enough of him to be sure that he loves me as his own son. But I am a foundling. "One day the Admiral's sylfe found me In the garden of their villa at Peterhoff. on the Gulf of Finland. Be ing childless they adopted me. This cross waa put round my neck and I have always kept It because I have an Idea that, one day. It will lead me to my mother." Woman Makes Confession. "Alas! Unhappy boy," sobbed tha General's wife. "It haa done so, for I am your miserable and wicked mother." At first, Boris, who saw with horror what this meant, refused to believe her. But little by little she told him facts which left no room for doubt. She des cribed the villa, in the garden of which she had left the child, who was born a couple of years before she met Gen eral Karaffa. Admiral Maklaroff, who waa Im mediately sent for, remembered cir cumstances and dates about the finding of the child which proved beyond ques tion that this awful coincidence was true. Thinking to hide the faults of her youth, tha military dignitary's wife had reaped the most terrible harvest a a woman could gather. The task of breaking the newa to her daughter fell to her. Nina's grief and despair were terrible. For several days the doctors despaired of saving her reason. Her father is now traveling- with her round (he world, hoping that the sights of America and Asia will distract her mind and restore her to health. . Borla has gone back ,to Turkestan, and says ha will never leave It. even If his regiment Is transferred, unless it be to go farther East, away from civi lisation. Nine people out of ten probably will laguh at the second case. Yet this story also Is absolutely true, and the princi pal actors are all people of Integrity and high social standing In Russia to day. Spiritualistic Seance Held. Baroness Buxhouegden. Iady-ln-walt-lng to the Empress of Russia. Invited a few friends to a spiritualist seance. No professional spiritualists were pres. ent, but the Baroness, like all those who live in close contact with the Russian court, takes a very keen Interest In spiritualism. In fact, mysticism has engrossed the Cxar's spare time for years, and the Czarina has learend from him to attach an enormous amount of Importance thereto. So when Baroness Buxhouegden Invited a few Intimate friends for this particular seance she waa only doing what aha had done scores of times before. Among- the guests waa a sceptic. Countess Grabowska. a well-known so. elety beauty who went first "for the fun of the thing." Four other people were present; one a member of tha Cadet Corps and all the others well known about the court. The lights were lowered and they sat down to a table, specially cleared of Its curios to accom modate the sitters. For some time they Joined hsnds without effect. Then Countess Grabow ska. who had been told several times not to titter and had at last relapsed I Into silence, went Into a trance. To a canyon to the power plant, a straight drop of more than 600 feet. To pipe the water from the head canal to the turbines. "00 feet below, the construction company la hauling 1210 feet of four-foot pipe, each aec tlon of which weighs from five to seven tons, over the road from Derby to Prospect. The heavy loads are cut ting the road up badly. TEXANS MAY COME WEST Rogue River Valley Chosen by Agent as Good Cattle Field. MEDFORD. Or, Aug. JO. (Special.) Scores of Texas cowmen will come to the Rogue River Valley as soon aa their advance agent has made arrange ments for their coming. So declares Max Hauxchlld, of Aus tin, who Is here looking for a location for half a hundred Texans. who are being driven out by the farmer and drouth. Mr. Hauxchlld Is sent here by these men to choose a homo for EGO XI AN. MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1911. s 9 mis'hl u "I her friends' astonishment she began to sob as though she Svero heart-broken. Alarmed at this unexpected display of grief by so vivacious a woman, they asked what was wrong with her. In a voice broken by emotion she electrified the company by exclaiming: Suicide Is Told. "t am the soul of Sister Olga. a nun. I have Just committed suicide miles away. In Naples. I have been, traveling with my dearest friend. Baroness Lily. I used to think I would feel happier tf I were dead, but I suffer such agonies that I cannot help weeping." - Here the beautiful Counters broke down, and It was some time before she could speaa m ms uuw mvi vum frightened company. I have come all the way from Italy to Russia to tell you of my death, be cause I know It has unnerved Lily so much that she, too, means to do away with herself. I Implore you to hasten to Italy and do all In your power to dissuade her. Tell her from ma, that I am suffering such torments of soul that no agony In life ever equaled them. She will suffer Just as much If she gives way to temptation." The Countess thereup stopped crying and awoke with a shiver. Tha Baroness turned on the light. Where am I?" the Countess asked. "Why Is my handkerchief wet and why do you all look aa If you were at a fu neral?" They told her what had happened, but she declared she knew neither a Baroness Lily nor a nun, and that the whole affair must be some Joke. The Baroness Buxhouegden. who had grown very pale, said that her sister-in-law, whose name was Lily, was In Italy and had taken with her a poor nun whose health had broken down: but that a letter had arrived from Naples that very day. saying both were better o health. Story Is Discredited. "Besides." the Baroness concluded. "Sister Olga is far too pious a woman to think of taking her own life, though such a thing would hava a most disas trous effect on Lily, who loves her dearly and Is. besides, very sensitive.' Countess Grabowska tried to reas sure her, but the Incident was so haunting that sha lay awake all night and early next morning begged tha Czarlna'a permission to go to Italy. When the Baroness -reached Naples she found that the nun. In a fit of mel ancholy, had committed suicide by tak ing poison on the very evening of tha sesnce. The sister-in-law was so un strting that she. too. was on the verge of committing the same act ordespalr. Baroness Buxhouegden was. however, able to restrain her by describing what had happened at the seance and by re peating the dead nun's solemn warn- '"fnqulrles at the nunnery near Mos cow elicited the fact that Sister Olga had always taken a great Interest In mysticism and that some of the other nuns attributed her nervous breakdown to her "sperltuallstlc practices, as they called them. Countess Grabowska, who Is by no means a nervous woman, suffered fronr nervous prostration and Intense headaches for weeks after the seance. Though sho was the Instru, roent of saving the life of a woman. sha haa had enough of such excitement and now regards the occult aa a dan gerous subject to tamper with. them and, to show his confidence In the city and valley, he has purchased a residence on Riverside and Central avenue for himself. "These people whom I represent are only a few of those who will come to the Rogue River Valley. from the Lone Star State, once the move Is started and favorable reports begin to go back home." said Mr. Hauxchlld. "Those to whom I refer are nearly all small cow men, who are being crowded out by the farmer and discouraged by the re peated drouths." Brick Factory Promised. 6PRING FIELD.- Or, Aug. 20. (Spe cial.)

BEND ADDITIONS ARE MANY Building Improvements for Past Year Amount to $85,000. BEND, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) A building canvass of Bend, recording the amount of construction since the first of the year, whijeh has Just been made, shows an amount of substantial de velopment which has surprised even the most optimistic Bend boosters Tho published list Includes 54 buildings, residence and business structures, erected at a total cost of $85,000 since January 1. 1911. This does not Include small buildings, mill structures and machinery, or city Improvements, such as sidewalks and street work, in which feld many additional thousands have been expended by the present progres sive City Council. The record Is notable for a com munity of 1000 population, say those familiar with development in new countries. It especially Illustrates the substantial nature of Bends develop ment In that all this construction has occurred at a time when the delays In railroad building and somewhat shaky financial condition have Induced a period of comparative "dullness" throughout all of interior Oregon.

ORANGEMEN WILL RESIST Premier Accused of Arrogance, and "Bankruptcy, Ruin and Civil War Are Predicted If Ire land Wins Its Contention. BY TIMOTHY J. O'CONNOR. DUBLIN. Aug. 20. There was an Irish scene In tha House of Commons one afternoon, and It was full of the sort of stuff that crowds are fed on at the general elections In Ireland. It helps to obscure the realities about home rule. William O'Brien began to ask ques tions. Were not the promotions and re wards given to Just those police who had repressed the All-for-Irelanders-" A medley of howls and Jeers rose from the Redmondlto Irishmen. Behind Mr. O'Brien sat Mr. Lundon, an olMal Red mondlte. He shot out an Interjection which Inflamed the All-for-Irelanders. and there was Immediate hubbub. Mr. O'Brien appealed to the Speaker, who condemned noisy and offensive In terruptions generally. Members Bandy Epithets. Tim Healy Informed the Speaker that Mr. Lundon said Mr. O'Brien was "de scended from one of the most black guardly Informers In Ireland." "If the Speaker tolerates these words, we're not going to tolerate them." de cleared Mr. Healy. The Speaker said he had not caught the full purport of the assertion when Mr. Lundon spoke, but he deprecated such language In the House. ' Up Jumped Mr. Lundon. He leaned dangerously near Mr. O'Brien's shoul der and cried, "I'm satisfied that every word Is true, and I have nothing to re tract or withdraw." "Then, sir." shouted William O'Brien, swinging round to Mr. Lundon and drawing his shoulders together. "y are an Infamous liar and a scoundrel!" "Question thirty-two," called the Speaker, and the business of "the Com mons of England" was resumed. Orangemen Voice Protest. Under the auspices of the London Central Demonstration Committee of the Loyal Orange Institution of Eng land, a meeting was held In Caxton Hall. Westminster, for the purpose of protesting against the pssslng of a home rule bill for Ireland. Robert Todd (deputy grand master of England) oc cupied the chair. Several letters from supporters of the government who were unable to be present were read. The Earl of Erne. Imperial grand master, wrote: "A despotic prime min ister has arropratcd to himself the powers of a die tor and with the aid of a transient and subservient ma jority threatens to do away with our most cherished Institutions before he can be checked In his headlong career of mischief. To such tactics the loyal Orangemen of tha Empire have ever offered the most strenuous resistance, and I feel certain that when called upon they will come to the front, as did their fathers, in the cause of law, of liberty, and of loyalty." Dire Consequences Predicted. The Marquis of Londonderry, In th course of a letter which aroused en thusiasm, said: "I have myself stated on various occasion that bankruptcy, ruin, and perhaps civil war. will b the result of home rule In Ireland. England, If she Intends to prevent that bankruptcy, will have to contribute a very large sum annually to be admin istered by men who have never con cealed their dislike for England and their determination to be separated from her. Again, England should b made to realize the position of the loyal Protestant population o'f Ireland. Home rule will place them under the Roman Catholic yoke, and we know from the recent speech of Cardinal Logue that no safeguards can be put Into the home rule bill which cannot be circumvented by the Roman Catholic Church. I can not believe that the Protestants of Great Britain will desert their brethren in Ireland." Sir Edward Carson, K. C, M. P.. who was also expected to be present, wrote: "We look to your Institution all through the empire for resolute and de termined action in this crisis. Any in action or Irresolution would go far to destroy the very object and basis for which the Institution was formed." William Moore, M. P.. moved a reso lution pledging the meeting to use every means "to prevent the disruption of the United Kingdom at the bidding of the enemies of the Empire." He said that If Great Britain were engaged in a struggle with a Continental power a Nationalist majority In a Dublin par liament would say: "England's difficul ty Is our opportunity." SQUAB PR0FIT IS LARGE Eastern Man Makes Good Income While Waiting on Orchard. WHITE SALMON. Wash., Aug. 20. (Special.) Raising the largest squabs furnished the Portland market la the specialty of Henry Hussey. at Under wood, on the west side of the White Salmon River. Mr. Hussey came West from Boston ostensibly to develop an apple orchard, but brought along sev eral hundred pairs of pigeons of a stock originally Imported from England. The orchard was set out, but the Bostonian gives careful attention to the birds, as they are a source of income until the trees begin to bear. Last year Mr. Hussey netted t00 from the squabs, and from January till the first of July this year he has realized $500. His squabs weigh well over a pound each, and he ships about 100 pairs a week, for which he receives $5 a dozen. The expense of feeding and care averages about $Z a dozen. He has no fight against parasites that often Infest poultry and pigeon pens, as to bacco stems strewn on the floor and In the nests are a sure and cheap preven tive. Though he has had several requests to sell birds for breeding purposes. Mr. Hussey believes It Is to his advantage to be the only raiser of biggest squabs. . Applegate Orchards Not Infected.
