An appro priation has been made for this and we will have it. As to the dairy instructor, we do not need or.e as as vet.

Hamilton handed down a decision Wednesday in the case of Wm. Groves vs. John M. Osburn, sustaining the de murrer in the amended complaint in equity in this case. On the 23d day of November, 1900, Mr. Osburn went into bankruptcy in the U. S. District Court for Ore gon, and on the 29th day of May, 1901, he obtained his discharge from the obligation "of debts which discharge is as follows: "Whereas John M. Osburn of Corvallis, in the county of Ben ton, in said distriot, has been duly adjudged a bankrupt under the acts of congress relating to bankruptcy, and appears to have conformed to all the requirements of the law in that -behalf; It is therefore ordered by this' Court that said John M. Osburn be dis charged from all debts and claims which are made provable by said acts against his estate and which existed on the 23d day of No I vember, A. D. iqoo, on which ' day the petition for adjudication ' -rrras filed bv him: exceDtino- such debts as are by ; law excepted from the operation of a discharge in bankruptcy." . ; There is no contention between Mr. Groves and Mr. Osburn as to the discharge, but it bears an im portant part in the suit just de cided by Judge Hamilton. When Mr. Osburn went into bankruptcy under the laws relating thereto, he scheduled all his property con sisting of his farm, stock, and his residence in Corvallis, Oregon, and other property and turned over the same to the trustee,-J. O. Wilson, and at the time claimed, as property exempt from execution his home in Corvallis. The trustee turned over this property to him, " made due re port of his action to; the Court which report was approved by the TJ. S. District Court. In the year 1893 the laws of Oregon were amended so that the exemptions from execution by the debtor were extended so Jthat he might claim his home up to the value ot $1,500. ' Now comes the poiut in this case of Groves vs. Osburn. Mr. Groves fbr him self, and as assignee' of several notes from other parties vhicb had been given and become due Deiore tue year 1093, lias under-1 taken in various and sundry ac tions and suits to subject this home property of Mr,. Osburn. to the . payment of these several" notes made prior to 1893 But State Circuit Judge Hamilton so far has held against the conten tion of Groves in the premises. Mr. Groves first brought abaction at law and attached this property, whereupon Osburn asked and was granted a stay of proceedings in the State Court: pending the disposition : of the bankruptcy proceeding in the U: S. Court. Then Mr. Osburn answered that he had been discharged from all his debts and liabilities by the U S. - District Court, Plaintiff amended his complaint, but fi nally dismissed his action at law and instituted the present suit in equity to establish a lien upon the home place by reason of the said promissory notes- . But Judge Hamilton, as stated '-above, has just now decided that there are not sufficient facts stated to jus tify the complaint as amended and sustains the demurrer to the same. Just what turn the plain tiff may yet take in tlje matter is not known. This case has been a prominent feature in all the sessions Jof the State Court for two or three years past and it is doubtful whether the case is yet ended, as Mr. Groves' attorneys say they will prosecute their side of the matter to the bitter end. Messrs. W. S. McFadden and E. E. Wilson represent Mr. Groves, and the firm of Yates & Yatesj Mr. Osburn. . - Improvement Society The regular monthly meeting of this society " will be held this evening at the county court room, at 8 o'clock.

The air ia full of sunshine, and heavy with fragrance as night comes on, and then, if the moon be shining, you may hear at midnight , through open windows, the song of the mocking-bird in the scented grove, and it never seemed so melodious before." v.
