Several Eugene attorneys have re ceived copies of the decision and it ap pears the case was a difficult one to handle and the return of the property to the original owner was made through a technicality of procedure by the selling sheriff.

After seven years of suspense, Dr. Clark B. Hyde has been cleared of the charge of murdering Col. Thomas H. Swope, Kansas! City millionaire. Dr. Hyde was Swope's son-in-law and family physician. Charges were that Dr. Hyde infected the drinking water of the Swope bouse with germs so he and hi wife would inherit the $10, 00.000 Swope estate. Dr. Hyde was tried throe times The third trial has just ended with prosecution ordered dropped. The case went from Tillamook coun ty and the purchaser of the tax certi ficate paid $dl0 for it. The property it represented was worth $7000. Ev eryting was legal in the proceedings until the sheriff came to sell the prop erty. The law holds the sale shall be made in this manner: Starting with an offer at the east line of the prop erty and offering so much as will sat isfy the tax cortifcate holder's outlay. It might occur there would be no bid until the entire property was offered and in that event, if the proceeding had gone 83 intended by law, there would be no way for the original own er to recover. In this instance the records showed no compliance with the requirement to sell commencing at the east line and offering as much as would satisfy the claim. In other words, the sheriff had not proceeded legally and the court, upon a suit being brought by the orig inal owner, to recover, held he was entitled to his land upon payment of the $110 to the holder of the tax cer tificate and sheriff's deed. All tho proceedings were ordered cancelled and the owner of $7000 worth of land did not lose his property. Whether this decision will afreet similar speculators in Lane county is not known, but it is said many whose lands have been sold fully expect to obtain them back on points of tech nicality. 1 When My Ship Comes In. Enterprise, Or., Jan. 5. (To the Editor of The Telegram) The old adage so often used by young men who were expecting some day to be rich, "Wait till my ship comes in," is now paraphrased by the frolicsome young man to read, "Wait till my shipment comes in." When the august body of legisla tors have met at Salem and by dint of much wrinkling of eyebrows have concocted a legal sounding instru ment, full of long words for lawyers to wrangle over, and properly called e law. containing full penalties and punishment for the" importation of linuor. it is to be hoped that the drinkers will learn to do without. Then will Oregon stand an island of 'rv amongst the dries, and beer and whiskv will be succeeded by the tasteful drink produced by the logan berry. How the shades of our illus trous ancestors will look down upon uc with longing for the clear bruin which many a night over the grog cups had not given them. W. F. In Portland Telegram. BUTTER LABELS For sale at The Observer office. The Meat Supply. The Secretary says that the activi ties of the department toward incrcas-1 ing the meat supply have taken two principal directions (l)combating di seases, and(2) the development of stock raising. He indicates the pro gress which has been made in the cam paign for the eradication of the soth crn cattle tick and in combating hog cholera, sheep and cattle scabies, and contagious abortion. He recommends the inauguration of a campaign against tuberculosis in cattle and hogs stating that this disease is the most cemmon destructive, and widely dis seminated of the infectious diseases of domestic animals and causes losses estimated at $25,000,000 a year In the United States. The Secretary shos that the grazing capacity of the national forest rangei Closing Out Prices Here is a red-hot special Lingere waist 98c that season's wear. FRIDAY ONLY 98c.

He says the investiga tions of the department have shown conclusively that the South is well adapted to economical .beef and pork production and that the eradication of the cattle tick is opening up a large territory for this purpose. Progress also has been made in the destruction of rodents which lessen the grazing value of western stock ranges, and in killing predatory animals which cause losses to the live-stock industry esti mated at $12,000,000 annually. Sheep Raising, sheep be raised more extensively as a source of meat and wool and lso as a The secretary recommends that means of using much f the waste land on farms. He points out that in the United States only one in seven farms of over 20 acres now supports sheep, with an average of one sheep of shear ing age to .", acres of land. The 300 mil lion pounds of wool now imported an nually, he says, could be secured from 50 million sheep, and this number could be added to our stock is a fourth of the remaining farms sustained one ! sheep for each 3 acres. The report also taken place in the dairy industry and cells attention to the fact that cheese discusses the development which has making, which heretofore has been limited to certain sections, can be ex tended successfully to the mountain regions of the South, to the valleys of the Rocky mountains, and to many sections of the Pacific cost. Production Of Fowl Crops. In order to 'bring about the produc tion of food crops adequate to meet the '.'iisuming needs f tie cuntry and the cxnrt deii' : Me :.lary says that or.e of tli (rrcnirst agrL-.l' needs is the s -'i'ili i'l.' of production. This can !) accom i ihed ir a large measure through the use ol heller a I-1 f.pted or improved crop varieties, more : pystcmatic and rational crop rotations and improved agricultural practice generally, including, in many sections,' laiger attention to live-stock produc tion, all of which are essential to an tnduring and economically sound agri culture. "It is highly desirable," he says, "further to broaden the areas for tho production of staple crops as far as experience nnd sound economics may warrant." He cites a number of instances showing what has leen done in this direction and emphasizes the importance to production of controll ing plant diseases and insect pests and quarantine measures to prevent their entry or spread.
