Dfeludee Clackamas County Woman
Wanders from Her Home.
Mrs. Ella J. Ixxngcoy, of Clacka
mas, who disappeared from home
two weeks ago, has been located at
Salem. The deluded woman's hus
ban, H. Longcoy, Wednesday night
received a letter from a boarding
house keeper at the Capital City,
informing him of his wife's presence
in that city for which he left yester
day morning.
Because of religious excitement,
Mrs. Ixmgeoy's mind became unbal
anced two years ago and since then
she has been under the constant
watch of her relatives. Mrs. Long
coy became imbued with the idea
that she is possessed of some miracu
lous power by which she is able to
raise the dead and has at times left
her home to visit cemeteries or
I morgues to perform that mission.
Mrs. Longcoy's delusion is not of
j such a character as to require her
, commitment to the asylum for at
! times she is perfectly rational. She
is a woman, of refinement and previ
ous to her marriage wa? engaged as
a teacher in the schools of Clacka
mas county.

CELEBRATED O. W. P. FRANCHISE
, INJUNCTION IN COURTS.
Defendant Councilmen Would Have
Suit Dissolved Judge Frazier's
Pointed Remarks.
Argument on a motion to dismiss
the application for the issuance of an
injunction restraining Councilmen
Mason, Chapman and Justin from vot
ing on the pending Oregon Water Pow
er & Railway "Company's freight fran
chise before the Oregon City Council,
was heard by Judge A. L. Frazier sit
ting on the bench in this city Tues
day in the absence of Circuit Judge
McBride of this District. After hear
ing the argument of the counsel for
the contending parties. Judge Frazier
granted. the attorneys for the plain
tiff until next Monday in which to pre
pare and file a brief.
City Attorney Franklin T. Griffith
appeared in behalf of the three de
fendant councilmen. He made a
strong and effective argument for the
dismissal of the suit on the grounds
that it is not within the jurisdiction
of a court to interfere with the delib
erations of a legislative body except
that body exceed its constitutional
rights. In the enactment of any leg
islation, it was argued that if harm or
injury results to any citizen or other
interest, the injured party has his
redress in the courts after the act
complained of has been performed.
Then, he argued, the injured party
can invoke the aid of the courts
through injunction proceedings to pre
vent the enjoyment by the ravorea
party of the rights and privileges con
ferred by the act complained of. Only
when there is unmistakable evidence
of fraud, insisted the City Attorney,
can the courts interfere with the per
formance of a City Council s legis
lative function and in the case at bar,
he maintained that the complaint does
not clearly establish any such grounds
for suit.
Opposed to the motion for a dismis
sal. Attorneys Eastham and Curry ap
peared and held that the charges of
the complaint are certainly sufficient
enough to allege fraud in connection
with the Council's deliberation on the
pending franchise ordinance, especial
ly as the situation relates to the three
defendant Councilmen, who, suDse
quent to the time of their election to
membership in the City Council, it
was contended, listened to the over
tures of the street railway company
and entered the employ of that cor
poration at salaries in advance of what
they had been accustomed to receive.
From that time on. the three Council
men, who are sought to be restrained
from voting on the franchise, it was
represented, have been firm advocates
and supporters of the franchise.
It was claimed by Messrs. Eastham
and Curry that in the case before the
court, there is sufficient evidence of
fraud or irregular methods, to warrant
the interference by the courts to pre
vent the Council from granting the
franchise as is proposed.
In passing on a point of law as to
the sufficiency of the allegations of
fraud as alleged in the complaint.
Judge Frazier made a few pertinent
comments, which, he explained, were
not of the nature of an opinion, how
ever. Assuming that the allegations
set out in the complaint are true as
recited, the judge stated that the Or
egon Water Power & Railway Com
pany had acted in bad form in employ
ing the three defendant Councilmen
subsequent to the time of their elec
tion to the Council, at wages in ad
vance of what they had been receiv
ing, and then proposing the enactment
of the pending franchise in support
of which the three aldermen are warm
advocates. He considered that the ad
verse attitude of a considerable num
ber of people of the city to the fran
chise, as it is proposed to be granted,
is due largely to the methods that
have been pursued by the company
asking for the franchise.
A. further consideration of the mo
tion was deferred until next Monday.
There is to be held tonight an ad
journed meeting of the City Council,
at which, it is quite probable had the
pending injunction proceedings been
dismissed Tuesday, the franchise or
dinance would have been presented
for second reading and final passage.
of a competent man at good salary

it to members of the association. This
information will be for the use of
members only, unless it is found rep

Mr. Krebs announced that his obli

he identified with the hop growers or
ganization, for he will be in the mar
ket trying to buy as cheaply as he
can. J. K. Sears was then chosen
chairman pending permanent organiza
tion, the date of which will be an
nounced later.
The chief purpose of the old asso
ciation, was to form hop pools under
the control of the association and to
be sold by a sales committee or the
officers of the association. The effort
was to steady the market and main
tain prices by regulating sales. The
new association, although having the
corporate power to buy and sell hops
expects to render Its chief service by
collecting and distributing to its mem
bers all the accurate information that
may be obtained concerning the sup
ply and demand and the course of
prices, so that each individual may
be the better enabled to act intelli
gently in selling or holding his crop:
The old association proposes to dis
seminate information and in general
to look after all matters of interest
to hop growers by promoting favor
able legislation, reducing the cost of
production and increasing the price
received.

It would be superfluous to comment
that Superintendent Zinser was much
elated the latter part of last week
when he was notified by the commit
tee of judges on educational exhibits
hat the Lewis & Clark Fair that Clack
amas county had been awarded the
silver medal for the best collective
county educational exhibit.
This means first honors since there
was no gold medal awarded for this
character of exhibit. This is sufficient
grounds for pleasing those who were
associated with collecting and exhib
iting the display from this county.
In addition to the distinction of re
ceiving first honors for the collective
exhibit, the display from this county
also received a great many individual
prizes.
In view of the difficulty that was
experienced by Superintendent Zinser
in getting the necessary funds for
making the exhibit the result of the
prize awards "is most gratifying and
complimentary to the schools of the
county, a more creditable exhibit
from which would have been possible
under more favorable "conditions. Su
perintendent Zinser, together with
City Superintendent Addie Clark, of
the Oregon City schools and Prof.
T. J. Gary, of Willamette were In
charge while the principals of the
schools of the county, comprising the
general committee, greatly aided in
the work.
DISTRIBUTING MEDALS.
Department Commander T. E. Hills,
has received the handsome bronze
medals for this department out of the
20,000 donated to the G. A. R. at its
meeting at Denver, by G. Zalvers, a
wealthy man. He said that the G. A.
R. made it possible for him to make'
his great wealth, and hence he want
ed to show his appreciation by hav
ing 20,000 medals struck off. The inscription-on
one side says the medals
are devoted to the soldiers and sailors
who helped to save the union. On the
opposite side is an etching of Pike's
Peak, which point the donor built a
railway. Commander Hills is giving
the Oregon Posts these medals. These
souvenir medals of the Denver En
campment will be highly prized by
the posts receiving them.

The Oregon Hop Grower's associa
tion which was organized in 1899 is
apparently a thing of the past and its
place is to be filled by a new organi
zation with similar powers but new
purposes, - reports Thursday's Salem
Statesman. Steps toward the formal
organization of a new association of
hop growers were taken here yester
day at a- meeting called by Conrad
Krebs. Resolutions were adopted de
claring the intention to organize and
a committee was appointed to draft
a constitution and by-laws. W. H
Egan, president of the old association,
is one member of the committee and
at the meeting yesterday he announc
ed his readiness to resign his office in
the old association and let that organ
ization dissolve whenever the new as
sociation is ready to take up the work,
j The meeting yesterday was attended
i by about thirty-five growers from var
! ious parts of this section of the Wil-
lamette valley.
j Conrad Krebs presided at the meet
j ing during the discussion and upon
, motion appointed Henry Fletcher, J.
K. Sears, W. H. Woods, Oliver Beers
; and W. H. Egan as a committee to
j draft a constitution and by-laws. This
' committee will meet in Salem next
Saturday to perform its work. It
was evident from the discussion that
the plan is to charge each member of
the new association a rate of 3 to 5
I cents a bale on the hops he produces
in order to secure funds to defray the
expenses of the association. The
chief expense will be the employment
