First Time that Validity It Sustained
in Clackamas County Court.
For the first time In Clackamas
County the validity of a tax deed ha.
been upheld. The case was that of
IjonweMS. Reynolds against the East
ern Investment Company, In a suit
to quiet the title to a piece of land
purchased at a lax sale by II. K
Noble, and by tilm sold to the defend
ant company. This sale was for the
taxes of 1902, The property Is a 160
acre farm at Scotts Mills and Is va!
jjable. Reynolds declined to pay tho
taxes for a number of years, begin
nlng with 1102. and about a year aso
ho brought suit. The Eastern In
vestment Company, which was repre
sented by State Senator Hedges, put
up a defense that the laud had been
purchased at a tax sale. The ease
was tried nearly a year ago and Judge
Mcllride has withheld his decision
until this time.
The fact that this Is the only tax
! title that has ever been sustained In
this county makes the case one of
particular interest. The law makes
a deed given by the sheriff prima fa
cie evidence of all of the necessary
acts of officers and conclusive of some.
At the trial the deed was introduced
in evidence by the company and the
defense then rested. Reynolds failed,
to introduce the record or to rebut
the case of the defendant company

All over the city you will see so-ne
evidence of the fact that not nil of
the people have learned that there is
such a thing as newspaper advertis
ing. And, of course, you will see very
much more evidence that a great
many people have learned how to
really do things through newspaper ad
vertising. Try to Imagine, If you can,
what sort of a looking city we would
have If it had twice as many "unad

last Friday evening by Prof. Wm.

Nelson W. Aldrich, senior Senator
"from Rhode Island, has announced
ling the brokerage and commission
houses is $70.010,000 for New York
City and $100,000,000 for the United
States; therefore we find that the
banks Increase the load which our
speculative friends must shoulder to
the picturesque total of $140,000,000
and we have not yet paid our brokers
a penny of profits.
If the operating expense of the
speculative game In New York City
alone be placed at $70,000,000, it will
be conservative to increase the amount
to $100,000,000 for the entire United
States. Boston has an active stock

Tho Odd Fellows and Rebekahs at
tended the Congregational church Sun
day night, where the pastor, Kev. E.
C. Oakley, delivered an appropriate
sermon. The church was tilled to Its
capacity, over 90 members of the two
organizations attending In a body. The
sermon, as well as the music furnish
ed by the orchestra and choir, was
appreciated by the large congrega
tion. One of the features of the ser
vice was the vocal solo, "The Lost

Brasch Carried Concealed Gun.
Officer F. A. Miles went to St.
Johns Tuesday and arrested C. M.
Brasch. a well to do citizen, who Is
interested In Clackamas County prop
erty, on a charge of carrying a con
cealed weapon. Brasch appeared be
fore Justice of the Peace Samson and
entered a plea of guilty, paying a
minimum fine of $10. His arrest is
the outcome of a difference between
himself and Bill Young, who rents
Hrasch's place on the Clackamas
Uiver. Brasch has apparently been
unable to collect his rent from Young
and filed a Buit In the Circuit Court
some time ago.

that this county has over 3ono miles
