Aa nearly aa can be determined the end riime at about 7:30 o'clock, but there was no one at the bedside, for none expected that dissolution was Imtnl nent. The venerable Jurist who had Just rounded out bis s'lh year about a week ago had answered the final call In Jnst the manner he had wish ed. He had retired for the night at the usual hour : 30 feeling In good spir its. The slight cold which he had contracted a few daya ago did not seem to trouble hi in auy, but lest It should give him worry or keep him awake, hla daughter fixed for blm a mixture of lemon and augar, and told him to lake It In ease he needed It. He must have awakened sometime during the nlKht, for the glass was empty when Miss Kll'-n knocked at hla door to ask If there was anything she could do fur blm. Her father did nut answer ner morn lug's greeting, and she thought at first he waa sleeping soundly. Not wanting to disturb blm, she waited few mlnutea, then called again. There waa no reply. She approached the bedside and still she thought he waa Bleeping. He lay In a perfectly natural position In bis bed. She then stooped to catcb the sound of breath ing, but there waa no exhalation. Fear ing that he had hail a turn for the worse, she raised his hnd. and It fell limply on the white coverlet. Miss Williams hurried lo the telephone, and summoned Dr. A. B. Mackay, the fam ily physician. He was there In' a few mlnutea. and even he waa obliged to apply the usual tests to ascertain that death had laid low the states man and JurlaL GOLD MAY BE IN GROUND. 8llver Coins Discovered Where Old Building la Removed.

A o-cent fare between Portland and Mllwnukle, with transfer privilege, long looked forward to by commuters of that aectlon, will probably be es tablished before May 1. The time lim it In which Kranklln T. Griffith, attor new for the Portland Railway, Light It Power Company may file his peti tion for a rehearing with the Supreme Court, will expire next Saturday. He is working on the petition, citing, he says, a few points not made at the time the appealed case waa heard by the Supreme Court. Mr. Griffith admitted that there Is very little hope that the Supreme Court will reverse Itself, and that the Milwaukle people are almost certain to have a 5-cent fare within two or three weeks. "I shall file my petition," he said, "and If the Supreme Court thinks there la any. merit In the points V shall raise, and desires to have the other aide presented, It will call for an answer from Attorney-General Crawford and Attorney R. R. Giltner, representing the Milwaukle people. Of course, it cannot be said how soon the court will pass upon the petition, but, at the longest, I do not think It will be more tban three weeks. "I will admit that this case has been In the courts a long time, per haps longer than It should, and some of the Milwaukle people are free to LIVESTOCK ON INCREASE RECEIPTS OF CATTLE, 8HEEP AND HOGS AT PORTLAND BREAK RECORDS. PORK STILL CLIMBING More Buyers Looking To Portland Market For Their Supplies and Competition la Very Keen. The live stock market at Portland for the month of March has been a pleasing one, both In prices and re ceipts. As compared with March of last year, there was an Increase of 31507 cattle, 1103 sheep and 382 bogs. In the face of the great sbortage pre vailing all over the country, this la a splendid showing for the Portland market. All previous records for prices were broken, not alone In Individual instances of small sales, but In the higher general average prevailing for all classes of live stock. Cattle sold high, sheep and lambs brought big prices, and the hog rocket that went up In February has shown no signs of a falling stick. More buyers are looking 'to this market for their sunnlles and comDeti- blame counsel for holding the case up i Hon in every line Is keen, in the courts, especially as the rail- a further glance at comparative re- roaa company nas resorted to every ; ceipts may be of Interest: expediency to win Its case, and as It has been necessary for me to secure two extensions of time for the filing of my petition for rehearing. But they forget that lawyers are busy men and that they usually have more tban one case on their hands. "While I do not wish to criticise the counsel who appeared for the railroad company before I was employed, I be lieve that had this matter been hand led differently a compromise might have been effected between the Mil waukle people and the railway com- supply of live stock that Is properlq pany. wnen people are compelled roj prepared for the market Cattle. Hogs. Sheep. March, 1910 7945 4650 4472 March, 1909 4338 4628 3369 Increase 3607 382 1103 The showing in hogs is remarkable when It Is considered that there were 3127 less brought to Portland by pack ers from Missouri River points In March, 1910, than in March, 1909. Population Is increasing so rapidly In the Pacific Northwest that the farmers need have no fear of an over go Into court to secure the things they want, they usually ask for all they think they can possibly get As a matter of fact, the average commuta tion rate between Portland and points along tho Oregon City carline Is al ready less than a cent a mile, while the rate on the Oregon Electric line Is 3 cents a mile." ' The petition for a reduction of the fare between Portland and Milwaukle from 10 cents to 5 cents, and from Portland to Oak Grove from 15 cents lo lu ceuis, was mKea oeiure me ure gon Railroad Commission about two years ago. When the 5-cent fare was granted by the Railroad Commission the railway company took the case Into the Supreme Court, and it, haa been there ever since. (n the meantime the company has continued to charge 10 cents for the ride to Milwaukle, and 15 cents to Oak Grove,' giving rebates which It promised to redeem should the Su preme Court sustain the decision of the commission. An order of court compelled It to file a bond, however, and the entire amount of this bond being covered by rebates about the time the higher court handed down its decision several months ago. It was necessary to file a second bond, and later a third. As long as the case in abeyance In the Supreme . Court, however, the railroad company con tinues to charge 25 cents for the ride from Oregon City, to Portland, and a proportionate rate from other points along the line. Heiress In Bridges Family.
