Emkrbon Not Guilty. The case
of tlie State of Oregon against F. L.
Emerson, indicted by the grand jury
for larceny by bailee, was tried in the
circuit court Wednesday and resulted
in a verdict of not guilty, the jury be
ing out only a short time. The facts
which led up to this case are abont as
follows: Emerson engaged in the
logging business and S. A. Miles was
furnishing the money. The former
execnted a chattel mortgage to Miles
on a certain lot of sawlogs and also
several yoke of oxen, the amount stip
ulated being several hundred dollars.
A little later more money was needed
in the business and Miles furnished it
taking a second mortgage on the logs
only. The logs were contracted and
sold by Emerson to a Portland mill,
but the mill company declined to pay
the money to anyone except Miles as
mortgagee. They did, however, send
Emerson due bills for the value of the
logs payable on demand. These Ent
er. on presented to Miles and directed
thai they be applied to the payment
of the first mortgage. Miles declined
to accept the orders as payment of the
first mortgage and in a lew days went
to Portland, drew the money due on
tho loirs and applied it on the second
mortgage which was on the logs only,
which left the first mortgage still
against the logs and cattle. Emerson
believing that inasmuch as he had di
rected the money to be applied to the
mortgage which covered the cattle
and therefore that claim had been
paid took part of the cattle and sold
thorn. Miles obtained the rest of the
cattlo, foreclosed the mortgage and
sold them at sheriffs sale. The court
instructed the jury that Emerson had
a right, prior to the time Miles drew
the money, 10 direct on what mort
gage it should be applied; and since
the evidence suoweo mis state or lacts
the jury found the above verdict

John Reddick, of Clatskanle, passed here
last Monday morning on his war home
from the county seat and other points up
the river. He talked freely of the man the
bovs took for George Upton on the Neha
lem mountain, and strongly asserts that
the man was Upton, and oilers convincing
proof that he was the man whose way the
deputy sheriff paid to Astoria.
We see no reason why some farm pro
duce and fruit from this district is not on
exhibition at the Portland fair, particularly
potatoes. James Gaitens has a potato on
exhibition at the postofnee that weighs
pounds and 11 ounces, measuring 18 inches
In length and 10 !i inches in circumference.
This ia a perfect marketable potato. We
believe Mr. Gaitens will find some larger
than this before he will finish digging. The
above potato was grown on light sandy
soil on the river bottom. He dug about
300 bushels off about 1 aores, which is
a very fair orop for such a dry season as
the past summer, considering the ground.
With interest we read Mr. Gray's article
"Salvation Comes Cheap." We must be
lieve that there was some misunderstand
ing about the collection, and think the
good people of the county seat should have
contributed more. But why have any col
lection at all T It is the wrQiig way to bring
people to church.. Many would come to
church, but not having a reasonable sura
to drop In tlio collection plate, keeps them
at home, but whore the doors are open and
the church is free vou will Bee many attend.
The best way Is to subsoribe a given amount
and then there is no reason wny your town
could not raise bv subscription $500 a year.
and not take up any collection. Then we
believe the minister would not talk to
empty pews.
