That it does contain, how ever a disastrous miseonception of the Jaw seems fairly obvious. The statutes of Oregon declare unequi vocally that in all actions for criminal libel the truth may bo offered in evidence.

These tracts can be bought on easy terms and will be eared for until in liea ring it' desired. More planting of fruit trees is going on than ever in the valley's history, and it is estimated that ."nun acres have already been set out. With the Kpring is coming a r.-Hiunj cuted for criminal libel !ti,,n nt' "lining. The placer miners arc nam was pro and he was forbidden by the trial judge to offer the truth in evidence. These are the pi, 'i 1 11 facts of the case. The cause oritrinated from Mr. Put. nam having a prosperous season with nhund ant water, and t he gradual climb of copper will witness the erection of a smelter at the Mine Ledge and the eon struction of a railroad, 's published charge that the irrnnd t Kverv condition hcoiiim to .mint , the jury of Jackson county ought to have j eonstaiit growth and development of nun iiji- iiuue uiwr wnify, with a greater Medford and the Kogue indicted a certain Itanium for murder. ous assault, but failed to do so. He stated the matter in such a way as to imply that the jury and the prosecuting attorney must have I u corruptly nee- ligent of their duty. In the prosecution! for criminal libel which ensued. Mr.) Putnam desired to show that the as i wttilt was really murderous ami to raise I Itivcr valley, with a greater immigra tion and a more active year in realty than vet w!tnesed. REGISTER! DO IT NOW! Thousands of voters in Oregon will reLTettiiii; next April and next June the inference that the grand jury, with! that did not register. They will the facts before them, could not have realize too late that they have lost their failed to indict Itanium unless they right to take part in the primaries and were corrupt. Judge Hauna forbade ; in he general election. They will have Mr. Putnam to prove this. lie ruled J no one to blame but themsel ves. In that the grand jury had already deter- ! every county in the state the registra mitied the truth about the assault, and tion rolls are now open, but as usual that this "truth" wa all that could ; voters are exceedingly slow in inscrib be offered in evidence. Mr. Putnam ing their names. could not go behind their verdict. Ii Von must reader if you wish to vote could introduce nothing to show that : in the coming primaries and in the elec- tlicy were mistaken; notlui g to show! tion. It matters not that that their mistake was : to amount in itself to o tion. 'The fn-t wheth- mini was gndtv of nit fnet to be determined In jury . I hey are presume 1 to 'if iii egregious as oof (if corrnie or not Itar- J'h-:hii was a the grand - have deter mined the matter rightly.' These are Judge Manna 's own wonK Me iavs also that 'tin law presumes official acts to have been legally mid regularly per formed. No libelous publication is jus tilled under the law which makes such tt charge against a grand jury unless the chnrge against the grand jury be not only proved, but is shown And again, ' I he law presumes officii! duty to have been regularly performed, find therefore presume that Mr. Put nam's 'charge against the grand jury or state's attorney is untrue. This pre sumption is sufficient to make it ne cessary' for Mr. Putnam 'to prove both the truth of the charge mid his good mot ive. ' "rleatlv .hi I ye Manna in-ant to in slnn! the in iv tluii th law makes a eoneb)i t on nun it ;on that t he . r diet of a ui 'Mid jury is correct.

N'.m the law of Oregon does presume 1 1 1 : t the verdict of a grand jury i correct ; but it doe not make the pri-sumpl ion conclusive.
