In the suit of Ellory Capen against
Frank Capon that was tried last week
In the Superior Court of Clark county,
Wash., Attorney. J. K. Hedges, of this
city, appearing for Frank Capen.
Soventeen years ago. In 1891, Ellery
Cnpen gave tq hlg son, Frank, a deed
to 808 acres of land In Thurston coun
ty, Wnsh., with the understanding that
the latter was to assume certain debts
of tho George II. Capen estate, the
transfer also covering money owed by
tho father to the son. Ellery Copen
and George D. Cnpca were brothers,
and were partners In the firm of
George B. Cnpen Co., in the shoe bunl
ness at Portland. The concern be
enme heavily Involved during the fl
nnnclnl stringency prevailing In 1893
and 1894 and went to the wall.
Last year Frank Capen was ap
pronchd by a man who wanted to
take an option to purchase the proper
ty for $30,000 and a few months later
he was advised by hia father that
Capen, Senior, had never Intended to
give the property to his son, but had
conveyed It to Frank merely as trus
tee. At the time the original convey
once wa made the land was valued at
only $4000.
Ed Capen, of Portland, and Lennder
Cnnen. of Willamette, also sons of El
lery Copen, aided with their father and
he brought suit against hla eon to re
cover the land, which la locnted in
Thurston county. Wash. The superior
judge there had at times advised
Frank Copen concerning the property
nnd he declined to try the cose, which
wa transferred to Vancouver, largely
for the convenience of the attorneys
and the parties to the action. The
trial laBted from Monday morning un
til lost Friday night and the court has
token the ense under advisement ana
will probnbly render a decision the
latter part of this week.

anxious to do the last honors to de
ceased. The procession was led by
the militia. 'Roseburg lodge of Elks
conducted the funeral, while the Odd
Fellows had charge of the ceremonies
at the grave.
Gov. West was present as was also
Judge Thos. M. Ryan, who Is master of
the State Grand Lodge of Odd Fel
lows. Business was suspended in the city
during the time of the funeral servic
es. Flags In the city were at half
mast and many honors were accorded
deceased. The remains rrrlved hei '
from California at 11 p. m. Monday
evening and Were Kept in state at ihe
Elks' Temple until time for the fun

The committee having in charge the
Booster Day program met Thursday
evening 'and completed arrangements
for several matters that were not be
fore arranged for. The question of
music was settled so far as the choice
of two bands is concerned, the com
mittee agreeing to employ Nash's band
and the Girls' Band of Oak Grove.
The big parade will start at 10:30.
There will be two carriages for the
notables city officials and speakers.
The parade will be divided Into three
divisions, and each division will be
headed by two marshals. M. J La

and he will appoint six or eight mar
shals for the occasion.
The parade will likely form on Fifth

move back to Main and up Main to

The Judging of the horses will fol

tinue until all the horses have been
Judged. The display will likely be
made on Fifth street, account the cars
on Main, and because of the proximity
of the street to the severol public

Merchants and others are Invited
to enter floats for the parade, and oil

Everything Is going on nicely and
the prospects for a big day are better
than ever before. While much boost

likely to be good from what has been
done already, still every citizen Is
urged to keep the boosting up until

Refusing to ccve the public any
longer in an Important capacity for
the niggardly salary otf $41.66 per
month, Livy Stlpp, for several years
past deputy district attorney for
Clackamas county, has tendered his
resignation, to take effect as soon as
his successor Is named.
At the last session of the legislature
the salary of the deputy district at
torney for Clackamas county waa In
creased to $75 a month, but this did
not conform with Governor West's
ideas of economy, and he vetoed the
bill, while approving a measure ap
propriating $50,000 for the Astoria cen
tennial exposition. Whether Mr.
Stipp's position as chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee,
and his consequent active support In
behalf of the candidacy of Jay Bower
man, who was Governor West's un
successful opponent, was calculated to
Influence the action of the executive,
can only be surmised.
While the salaries of the deputy
district attorneys In other counties of
the fifth Judicial district are corres
pondingly low. the county court In
some cases has rendered financial as
sistance in order to retain competent
and experienced attorneys. In Clat
sop county the office rent of the depu
ty district attorney Is paid out of the
county's finances and in Washington
county the official Is allowed $20 per
month by the county court Nothing
of this kind has ever been done In
Clackamas county, however, and Mr.
Stlpp has declined to make a request.
In his letters of resignation of District
Attorney E. B. Tongue, Mr. Stlpp bold
ly charges Governor West with play
ing politics, stating that the Governor
"doubtless, with an eye on his future
political prospects rather than on the
needs of the county and State, vetoed
the tollL" . - -
So far as known George L. Story, at
present city attorney, Is the only can
didate for the vacancy made by Mr.
Stipp's resignation. Mr. Story was
Indorsed by many members of the
Clackamas county bar and It is ex
pected the announcement of his ap
pointment will follow the acceptance
of the resignation of Mr. Stlpp, whose
leter to District Attorney Tongue
follows :
"I hereby resign as deputy Prose
cutine Attorney for Clackamas county, I
Oregon, Fifth Judicial District.
"The business of the office Is such
that it now takes nractically all of the
deputy's time and osMhe pay Is only
I41.C6 per month, with no allowance
for any expenses, a deputy can not
make a living and properly attend to
the wort- of his office and his part of
the bu8.--e8g of the State and county
must necessarily be Blighted.
"Because of our pleasant reiations
and your kindness in appointing me to
this position, I have -hesitated long
before resigning. However, the pay
in ho Inadeouote and the duties require
so much time and attention that I feel
that I can not do myself justice and
longer hold the office.
"The last session of ihe Legislature
raised the salary to $75 per month,
but the Governor, doubtless, with an
eye on his future political prospects
rather than on the needs of the county
and State, vetoed the bill, and while
175 ner month was little enough, cer
alnlv the Dreeent salary is not to be
thought of and If the people prefer the
saving of this amount rather than hav
ing the business better tooKea anei,
it seems to me that a better way
would be to abolish the office alto
gether.
UTillo the DODulatlon and business
of the county have increased mucn in
the last ten years, and the laws and
efHslatiire have added many new
duties and much new business, the
oav has remained the same, ana I see
no alternative but to resign.
"Sincerely,"
"LIVY STIPP."

There are a large number of entries.
In some classes entries being quite
numerous while In others the owners
are a trifle slow. But taking it all In
all the entries are very satisfactory.
Contributions have been very liberal
so far, and the committee feel very
kindly to the merchants and friends
of the enterprise, but at that thpre
are a few who have not contributed,
and the contributions from these men
are needed to make certain there will
be enough money to meet all bills. A
liberal contribution, with money
enough to do proper advertising,
means the success of all Booster Day

contributed are urged to assist the

The toastmaster read a letter from
Judgo T. A. McBrlde, In which that

Mr. Gary Addrene Benton County
Teachers.
County School Superintendent T. J.
Gary returned home Saturday evening
from a visit to Corvallis. where he
made two addresses before the Benton
county local teachers Institute. There
was a good attendance at the Institute,
which was held Saturday, and Mr
Gary's talks were highly appreciated
by those teacher present on that oc
CORVALLIS, Or.. April 13.-The lx
week' summer session at the Oregon
Agricultural Collea-e which nnnn
June 19 and lasts till July 28 will offer
many new courses thl year for the
benefit of those teachers disqualified
by the new school laws which now
make heavier requirements as to nre-
paratlon.
Town and city supervision and the
new rural school supervision provided
for under the new school law will be
taught, as well as the advanced sub
ject required now for certificates'.
such as mathematics, history, the
sciences, English and American lit
erature, the art of teaching, psycholo
gy and the history of education. There
will be special work for the teachers
of Industrial subjects, and particular
attention will also be given to Instruc
tion of the primary and Intermediate
grammar grade teachers as to the re
lation of the school to the industries.
So large a proportion of the school
children of the country never ge be
yond the grammar grades that it Is
considered Immensely Important that
the teacher of the younger children,
should in some degree correlate the'
work with the practical things to be
met outside.
Beside courses In methods of teach
ing the regular high school subjects,
the O. A. C. summer session will offer
work In the domestic science depart
ment for housewives and for young
women who wish to learn to manage
homes of their own some day, or to
teach home economics. Prospective
farmers and orchard growers will be
given special Instruction which will
prevent them from committing many
of the expensive errors of the begin
ner. The great Importance of this
part of the work lies in the fact that
a great number of professional and
trades people from the cities are now
acquiring land which they mast either
know how to handle themselves, or
how to supervise the work of others
on it.
The summer session offers unusual
opportunity for the boy who has not
ye,t decided what he wants to do In the
world. Parents may send their boys
and girls of high school age with a
certainty that they will be In a pleas
ant, profitable and healthful environ
ment under Influences which may de
termine the trend of a successful after
career. The girls will find much pleas
ure and profit In work which empha
sizes the advantages of science and
art when applied to home problems.
For those who wish to devote their
summer to work toward a college de
gree there will be regular collegiate
courses, but there will also he short
courses In agriculture, manual arts,
cookery and dlatetlcs, sewing and
hand work, laundry and home nursing,
vocal and Instrumental music, art, and
landscape gardening.
A number of noted educatora from
the East have been secured for special
lectures, since they will be coming
West for the convention of the Na
tional Education Association at San ,
Francisco In July.
WILL JUMP FROM BRIDGE.
Athlete Traveling With Carnival Com
pany Promises to Make the Leap.
The Carnival Company that will
have charge of part of the features to
be presented here Booster Day had a
representative in the city Thursday
planning for the things that are to be
put on the program on that occasion.
One feature that was being arranged
for on this visit was the Jump from the
Suspension bridge.
This company has several athletes
who have very good reputations for
startling stunts, and one of them has
looked the Suspension bridge over and
decided -he will Jump from It Into the
river below. This will make a long
Jump if the river is a slow as present
indications promise, but the athlete Is
satisfied with the conditions and with
the stage of the water, and promises
to make bis Jump according to the
scheduled advertising.
THREATENS VIOLENCE.
Uncle Haa Young Man Arretted on
Such a Charge.
A warrant was sworn out In the of
fice of Justice Samson Monday after
noon charging Frank capen witn
threatening violence, his uncle, L. Ca
pen. making the allegation. It seems
to be a family row In which there is
some bad blood with fear that Frank
Capen may lose his control and do mis
chief. The swearing out of a warrant
and the forcing the young man to
make an explanation, It 1 thought
may cool him down and lead to an ad
justment of the matter.
When the papers are served the
young man will be given an oppor
tunity to explain, and & time for the
hearing will be made for an early day.
