A SMOOTH GAME
Co-Operative Supply House vs. II. T.
and F. E. Mellien.
We have another case in our cir
cuit court that would not be there if
we had had a blue sky lay last year
in this state. The co-operative sup
ply house of Portland, Oregon, was
incorporated in Salem on the 29th of
April, 1912, with a capital stock of
$3,000,000.00, one-half of which was
subscribed by three or four "bunco
artists." They were incorporated for
the sole purpose of fleecing the farm
ers of this state out of their cash,
and they succeeded in selling in the
neighborhood of 17,000 shares at
$10.00 per share, $12,000 of which was
sold for cash, and the balance was
sold for notes and some farmers ev
en gave mortgages on their homes for
shares in the company. The concern
worked a good deal on the same plan
as the Columbia Orchards, Co., who
went bankrupt and left so many farm
ers in the lurch. They sold their stock
to farmers principally at a par value
of $10.00 per share, and represented
that on the 1st day ot December the
shares would be worth $12.50, and
they would advance to $15.00 on the
first of January, 1913. They also
represented they could and would pay
dividends on their stock by the first
of May, 1913, amounting to 12 1-2 or
15 per cent, as they said, about Nov.
1: that their sales amounted to over
$1000.00 per day. The agents of the
Co-operative supply house represent
ed to the farmers that they owned the
large 4-story concrete warehouse at
East 1st and Madison streets, which
they occupied, and that they also
owned all the goods, wares, merchan
dise and machinery contained in the
building, and that they owned the
land on which the building stood, as
well as the vacant lots adjoining.
On February 20, 1913. the Co-On.
supply house was declared insolvent,
and R. S. Sabin, secretary of the Mer
chants Protective association, was ap
pointed as receiver, un March 8th a
meeting of the stockholders was call
ed, and a great many "suckers" at
tended, only to learn that they had
"bunked" some of them to the tune of
$5,000. The so-called suckers appoint
ed a committee of three to investigate
the books of the company and they
learned that the Co-operative never
owned more than one-half of the
stock of goods on hand, und had only
one year's lease on the building and
real estate. There was about 14 car
loads of canned goods, unlabeled, in
the building, which belonged to sever
al leading wholesalers, and puckers
and were "loaned" to the co-operative
company for the purposo of inducing
farmers to bite.

duced by one G. F. Emery, one of the
agents of the company, to turn oyer
their stock of goods to the associa
tion, and they received in return 276
shares of the capital stock, but they
never gave possession of said stock,
as the company agreed to sell 75
shares and turn the money over to
Mellien in order that they could pay
up the creditors and clear the title to
the goods, but the company or its
agents failed to sell the shares. R. S,
Sabin has now taken possession of the
goods as well as the building to which
he has no right, by writ of replevin,
and the acse will be thvoshed out in

of the company were named Moselle,

THE GATE OF HEAVEN.
Genesis 28: 10-22 April 13.
' am uilh Ihct and will keep Ihec, whither

ACOL1 was over forty years old
4 when he left home, forsaking
I the possessions which belonged
to his purchased birthright. Ho
counted nil earthly possessions Insig
nificant compared with the Abralinnilc
Promise, to which lie hud become heir.
That Esnu cured nothing for the spir
itual Promise and was.qulte content
with the earthly lnheritnuce. Is mani
fest from tho subsequent story.
Iu his journey toward Huran, Jacob
came to Lux. He did not seek lodgings
there, but placing a stone for a pillow,
wrapped himself
"In a ilivam ha taio a
ladder."
in his mantle, and
lay down lu a
quiet sput to
sleep. Ills deep
religious convic
tions, his fulfil in
the ttiul of ids
father nnd his
grandfather, his
desire for a share
of the Divine
blessing, had
made him un out
cast. iHmhtless he felt lonesome and
heiirt-sii'k. lie was leaving his friends
and going, practically penniless, to tlud
some kind of service.
"Jacob Have I Loved."
This Scriptural stntemeut is borne
out by (Jod's dealings with Jacob. He
had shown his courage, his faith. Now
he needed encouragement, nnd there
fore was given a dream of beautiful
Import, lu his dream he saw n ladder
extending from his side up to Heaven
and crowded with angels. At the
further end. in his mind he saw God
Hiul heard Ills words, full of encour
agement, tiod assured him that ne
reeo-ihized him as the legal heir to the
irivat AlvRiliiimle Promise.
The phraseology of God's Message Is
much the s-.une that was given to
Abraham, nnd continued to Isaac. Now
U was coutlrmejl to Jacob. He. was
tlieiioofbrtn fn covenant reliitlonslup
with the Cod of his fathers. .
Neither a Jew Nor a Christian. ,
Jaeol) was not a Christian; and
therefore God's providences over bim
were not of the same kind as those
of the Church. He woS not Invited to
share in "the high calling." ne was
not promised a change of nature to the
Heavenly condition. All of the prom
ises to him were earthly, as were
those made to Abraham.
Neither was Jacob a Jew. The na
tion called Israel, nftcrwnrds known ns
Jews, were Jacob's children: but they
were yet unborn. They became a na
tion by being brought into covennnt re
lationship with God through Moses
anil the Law Covenant.
The patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac and
Jacobunder. neither the Law nor the
Gospel constituted a distinct class.
To them especially (in conjunction
with some of the noble Prophets and
Worthies of the Jewish Age) belonged
God's great promises respecting the
blessing of all mankind. Not being of
the spirit-begotten Church, they can
have no share with Messiah in His
Spiritual Kingdom. In fulfilment of
the Abrahumle Promise, however, they
will bo granted human perfection in
the resurrection, nnd thus qualified to
be princes of earth, representatives of
Messiah's Kingdom.
What the Dream Meant.
Jacob's ladder represents the thought
of direct fellowship between Heaven
and enrlh. Through Jacob's Seed this
great work of opening dp relationship
between God and ml'ii would be ac
complished. The vision of God at the
further end. nnd HIn eucournging
words, were to stimulate Jacob to
f; lilifulncss nnd appreciation of this
groat Promise ns worth much more
than It had cost him. The dream had
Its intended effect. Jacob was encour
aged for the remainder of his life.
This lesson applies to Christians also.
With the fuller light of the Apostolic
teaching and the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, we understand Hint before Abra
