' ' Sentence Especially Significant One sentence was considered espe cially significant,, as it was generally balieved to refer to Justice Hughes, who, according to some inspired stories, Colonel Roosevelt and the Pro gressive party were ready to accept. The sentence reads:' "I do not have to improvise my con victions on either Americanism or pre paredness."

Hughes member of the supreme court of the United States and a very present presidential possibility, once sojourned in Oregon under the simple and democratic name of "Charlie" Hughes back in 1903 this was. The fact is neither ' generally known nor recalled but nev ertheless a fact. . Portland .Man Revives History Back in 1903 John E. Searles, at that time a sugar king and heavy in vestor in Oregon mining property, had some legal intricacies in the Cornu copia mining district of Eastern Ore gon. Charles E.- Hughes was the New York counsel for Searles' in terest and it was deemed best for Mr. Hughes to coma to Baker county. He did. Local legal affairs of the sugar magnate were in the hands of Em met Callahan, now of Portland and it was during a reminiscent mood while in La Grande a day or two ago that the visit of Justice Hughes ro Oregon was revived by Mr. Callahan For three weeks Mr. Callahan anH Mr. Hughes hob-nobbed in Cornucopia attending to the legal matters in hand. During the time there Mr. . Hughes called himself "Charlie" and preferred to be addressed in that plebian like manner. Was Also in CorvallU - But Cornucopia is nut the only Ore gon territory familiar to Justice Hughes. Corvallis is likewise known to Sim, for on that occasion, or soon after. Mr. Hughes went to Oorval lis and there tried som'i cases, col aborating with Joseph Teal, now of Portland. Whiskers Misleading While Justice Hughes was in Corn ucopia, and again while in Corvaliis all who came in contract with him wore impressed with his dignified per Honality yet at no time was h any thing but pleasant, often jovial and not as distant as his hirsute adorn ment now might lead one not persnn- ally acquainted with him to think. Oregon Supreme Court History Speaking of supreme court justice calls to mind some interesting his tory about Oregon's tribunal. Oregon's supreme court forty years ago was composed of the five dis trict judges of the state. Judge Prim of the (first district, was elected as the chief justice and the other four members were associates.' They met in Salem on the Becond Monday in December. The judgs from whose district an appeal had been taken did not sit on that particular case. The fifth judicial district was composed of all eastern Oregon and included the counties of Wasco, Umatilla, Union. Baker and Grant, Two teirms of circuit court were held in each county every year at the following placws: The Dalles, Pendleton, Union, Baker and Canyon City. The judge of the Fifth district. was Lewis L. McArtmir, father of Congressman "Pat" Mo Arthur of Portland. There were at that time but five counties in easUrii Oregon, as noted above, the counties of Sherman, Gil- i Start Tomorrow and Keep It Up Every Morning Get In the habit of drinking a - glass of hot water before breakfast We're not here long, so let's make our stay agreeable. Lot us live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, and look well, what n glorious condition to attain, and yet, how very easy it is If one will only adopt tho morning Inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to Tool lull and heavy when they arlso, split ting lienilncho, study from n cold, foul toaguo, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as froah as dalBy by opening tho sluices of tho system each morning and flushing out the whole of the Internal poisonous stag nant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each, morning, before troakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with, a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate In It to wash from tho stomach, llvcr nnd bowols tho previous day's Indigestible waste,', sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying tho entlra alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot w ucr and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach Is wonderfully In vigorating. It cleans out all the Bour formentatlons, gases, wasto and oddity and gives ono a splendid appetite for breakfast While you aro enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting largo volume of water from tho blood and getting ready for a thorough flushiug ot all the Inslda organs.

A term of Circuit court in eastern Oregon in the seventies was a mom entous event. Jurors, witnesses, both for the grand jury and for trials, were assembled from distances of upwards of 200 miles. It was before the days .of telephones and the court attendants were required to "be and appear on the first day of the tarm." And ser vice of a subpoena or summons re quired that it be done "in person by reading or showing the original and delivering a true copy thereof." Dep uty sherriffs who traveled on horse back were numerous throughout the torm and in the case of Union county they wera required to travel as far ,as the breaks of the ImnrJia in one direction and to Pine end Eagle val leys in the other. The feca for court attendants was ten cents per mile for the distance necessarily traveled by the usual route and $3 per diem. With an assemblage almost as large as that at a county fair throughout the greater part of the court term the court expenses were necessarily heavy. The wholo collectable taxes in Un- ' I-.. i 1 OTO n U..I ..Un.it VUUIIl III IOIO WUB UUb ULfU'.lb $30,000 and the tax rate was three per cent. Within twenty years from that time tho county was about $150, 000 in debt in the way of outstanding warrants and accumulated interest. An Old Directory Attorney J. D. Slater has a copy of an old official gazette and travelers and immigrants guide to Oregon and Washington Territory, compiled and published by D. H. Steams of Port land, Ootoberl, 1877. Portland then claimed a population of 15,000 and it probably had as many as 12,000.
