ports that he was ready to work for

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." More than 40 carloads of fat hogs

'What Great Bargains!'
TRIBUNAL OF 1
OREGON HAS I
LONG CAREER
Charles E. 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-

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.

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. Baker City is described ns
the most -important mining town in
eastern Oregon with u population of
about 1000.

but was set down as a thriving town
of five or six hundred inhabitants,
with churches, schools, mills 'dtic,. The
United States land office for this

was accorded Ln Grande. Tho des
