Important Cata In Circuit Court Michael
Ktitecktr Mutt Pay Ntlghbor.,
for Property Lou.
In returning a verdict for 1250 for the
pliilntlfT In the atnte circuit court here
hint Huturduy In thn cate of Lucy A.
Cublmiffl vs, Miction! KeJsecker, a Jury
holds that a settler nhall be held respon
sible for dnrmiKf resulting to other prop
erty by reason of the settlnir out of a
fire which Is neifii-cted and spread
to adJolnlriK property.
This Is the first trial of thn kind that
has been held In this county. It was
stubbornly contested by tioth side and Its
consideration occupied two days In the
court. Dlmlck & Dlmlck and 0. E. Hayes
appeared for the plaintiff while U'ften &
Hchiiebel represented the defendant.
In thus fixing the responsibility and
iiSHi HBlnn damages against the party re
sponsible for the damage that results
from forest fires, It Is believed the bene
fits will be large since property Inter
ests In Clackamas county have In recent
yuan suffered extensive damage from
miscellaneous and neglected fires.
The fire complained of was started
last August, plaintiff alleging that the
defendant neglected to properly guard
the same and because of which It spread
to plaintiff's premises and destroyed her
home and out buildings together with
growing crop. Damages In the sum of
1500 were asked. Defendant contended
that the fire which did the damage com
plained of was started by another set
tler In the same locality but the plaintiff
proved by wltnest that the alleged other
farmer was absent from that part of the
county at the time of the destructive
fire. The scene of the fire was at Dover.
A similar suit In which another farm
er, whose property was also destroyed by
the same Are, Is pending against Kelseck
er In which $500 damages are also asked.
It Is likely that, the Cubbage-Kelsecker
exse will be appealed to the supreme
court.

and It development, Mr, Jaggar was In 1
no sense an office seeker, the only office '
he ever filled being that of a member of j
the city council. In his business affairs,
Mr. Jaggar was successful, accumulating
considerable wealth.
The l'!ceased was an honored and re
spected pioneer. He was temperate and
outspoken In condemning the pernlclous
nes of forming bad habits. Besides a
wife, he Is survived by four children:
Louis Jaggar and Mrs. Olive Day, of
Portland; Ileprescntatlve Jaggar, of
Caru; and Mrs. C. W, Vonderaho, of
Oregon City.
Funeral services were held at the late
home at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon,
April 24, II. K. Sargeant, of Portland,
officiating. Interment took place at
Mountain View cemetery.
William A. Starkweather.
William A. Starkweather, one of the
oldest pioneers and most highly respect
ed citizens of Clackamas county, died sud
denly at his home a few miles north of
Oregon City at 3 o'clock Saturday morn
ing. Mr. Starkweather was 83 years old
and his death was brought on by old age
and general debility. Heart failure was
the immediate cause.
Mr. Starkweather came to Clackamas
county In 1S48 and the whole of his life
since then has been closely Identified
with the growth and development of this
part of the Oregon country. He was a
member of the constitutional convention
and a signer of the constitution. He rep
resented the county In both branches of
the state legislature on several occasions
and had been superintendent of schools.
He was also at one time Register of
the land office. He was defeated for the
state senate In 1894 by Hon. George C.
Brownell. Mr. Starkweather, while a
strong Democrat was a warm supporter
of United States Senator Mitchell, and
while a member of the legislature tils
presence was required at Salem at a
critical time during a senatorial election
and he rode from Oregon City to 8alem
on an engine, arriving in time to save the
day for Mitchell. Mr. Starkweather was
Idely known and universally respected
His death removes from the stage of ac
tion almost the iast of the pioneers who
brought the commonwealth of Oregon Into
being. It can truly be said of him that
he was one of those "who conquered the
wilderness and fashioned the state."
The funeral was held Sunday at
o'clock and the Interment was had In the
cemetery at Clackamas. Mr. Stark
weather is survived by a widow and four
children W. Starkweather, Prof. H. G
Starkweather, Mrs. Ella Whipple of Can
by, and Mrs. Ida Derry of Portland.
AN UP-HILL FIGHT
8ECRETARV HITCHCOCK DETER
MINED TO MOVE LAND OFFICE.
Only President Rootevtlt Can Intercept
the Order. Remonstrating petl
tlona Are Being Circulated.
Judging from a letter that has been
received by the officers of the Oregon
City Land Office from Secretary Hitch
cock, it is evident that Intervention on
the part of President Roosevelt alone,
will prevent the removal of the Oregon
City Iand Office to Portland as ordered
In his letter, Secretary Hitchcock state
that a time, July I. next, has been set
place named for the removal of the
Office and that in ordering the proposed
change, the authorities at Washington
considered every question and objection
that has been raised in the protests that
have been forwarded by the people of
this city. For these reasons, the honor
able Secretary concludes that there la
no legitimate reason why the order al
ready made should be vacated.
Not discouraged by this official ultima
tum, the residents of Oregon City are
the more active In their campaign to ac
complish a reversal of the order to the
end that this office may be retained at
Oregon City.
At the Instance of the citizens' com
mittee, recently appointed, Bruce C. Cur
ry, of this city, left Saturday night for a
tour of the Oregon City Land District
for the purpose of circulating petition
protesting against the proposed removal -of
the Land Office from this city. Mr. .
Curry will visit Salem, Albany, Corval-
Hs, Independence, McMinnville, Hillsboro
and Forest Grove and energetically circu
late the protesting petitions.
When the signatures have been pro
cured the petitions will be forwarded to
the President and the Secretary of the
Interior.

Benjamin Jaggar and Wm. Starkweather
Pasted Away Last Saturday.
Bonjaniln Jagsar, who died at his home
In this city Saturday afternoon, April
22, after a protracted Illness, was born
at Nether Thong, Yorkshire, England,
October 22, 1822. He was the seventh of
ten children and was the last survivor
for a number of years. Coming to Amer
ica In September, 1845, he located at
Philadelphia In the vicinity of which he
remained for three years when he moved
to New Brighton where for eight years
he was engaged in the manufacture of
woolen goods. While there in 1852 he
was married to Anne W. Wiigley. After
a short residence In Iowa, he removed to
Missouri where he served as First Lieu
tenant In the 48th Regiment during the
Civil War at the close of which he located
In Ohio, coming thence to Oregon in the
Spring of 1872. He engaged In farming
at Cams where he remained until 1885,
when he came to Oregon City and has
remained a constant resident of this
city since.
For the greater part of his life, Mr.
Jaggar was engaged In the business of
manufacturing woolen good, his father
and grandfather both having followed
that trade. The grandfather of the de
ceased made woolen clothing when he
hud to carry the product on his back six
miles to market. While he took an active
interest in affairs pertaining to the county

Children especially are fond of dainties,
and the housekeeper must look carefully
to their food.
As good cake can be made only with
good eggs, so also a cake that is health
ful as well as dainty must be raised with
a pure and perfect baking powder.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
in the preparation of the highest quality
of food. It imparts that peculiar light

finestcake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc,
and what is more important, renders the
food wholesome and agreeable to young
