ITY NOT JUSTICE 8IEVERS RULES EXTRA ORDINARY LANGUAGE GOOD AT WILHOIT COVERNOR'S PET LAW DISREGARDED Trial of Alvln Wyland Provide Com edy Relief to Seriouaneu of Court Seaslons De fendant la Freed The use of profane languags at Wll- holt Spring la not a mledcmoanor. Such waa the decision of Justice Slevers Wednesday in the case of the State of Oregon against Alvln Wyland accused of "using profane and bois terous language at a public watering resort," as prohibited In a measure naaaed at the laat session of the legis lature. The trial was replete with many features that were quite as out-nf-the-opdlnarv as the decision that ended It, and spectator enjoyed the aenslon of the court as much a tney would have enjoyed a vaudeville per formance. It appeared from the evidence that the complaining wltnea. a school teacher, and a lCyear-old girl were at Wll holt at the aame time, and that the glrl'a relatives, one of whom was the defendant, desired her to accom pany them home. The girl refused, and Wyland waa said to-have grasped her by the nape of the neck and forci bly taken her to the carriage which waa to carry her home, saying at the snma time: "Jly Ood, you will go." For that the school teacher concerned in the case awore to the complaint. Oeorge Hrownell appeared for the d.ifense, and Deputy Plsirict Attorney l.lvy Btlpp conducted the prosecution for the state. The wltneaaea called wers aomewhat In doubt aa to wheth er the defendant had used the name of the Piety in vain, or whether he had iuat said "by gosh." They admit ted, however, that profane language was not unusual at the reeort. Hear ing this In mind, the court ruled that the use of such language at Wllbolt Springs waa not a violation of the law. and dismissed the charge In argulna; for the prosecution. Mr. Stipp told th 3 court that the violation charged came under the law that Governor West, and Repreaentatlve Si'hu.'M of this city had taken such pride In passing and getting upon the statute books, and said that aside from the duty of the court In the mat ter, he felt aure that both the gover nor and Mr. Schuebel would like to see a conviction under their partlclnr atatute. Mr. Hrownell .pleading for the de fenae, admitted that auch might be true, and added that he knew Mr. Schuebel was a nice man. "I don't believe he would use profane lan guage," aald Mr. Hrownell. "I don't think I have ever heard him swear. I think he Is very temperate In his language, but I can't say that I would alwaya believe all he aald. I think all the Schuebela are nice men, and r dont believe any of them are ever profane. The case not being tried before a Jury, the court seemed to take Mr. nrowneU's view of It, and gavo the defendant his freedom. PROfAN ALWAYS RI I real estate Mra, T. V. ftlrn to rrank F.

Yellow peaches are arriving from Columbia river orchards, and are competing with local growth fruit, both of which varieties are selling at a dollar a box, wholesale. The local fruit has a Bhade tbe best ot It in flavor. Indicutions are that valley peaches will soon fill the market, and that the prlco will drop considerably. Imported apricots from out-state points are being offered at $1.25 a crate, and sometimes lea; but the fruit has not keeping quality. Later In the week It Is expected that there will be offerings of apricots from the neighborhood about Canby, and this fruit is said to be ripening well and to give all Indications of b?iiiR well up to stand pard. Tho Canby fruit is apt to be higher In price than the outside stuff. The berry market Is showing but little change. Blackberries, raspber ries and some lata logana are general ly being offered at between a dollar and $1.25 per crata. depending on grade, and are moving steadily though not with speed. Early Malaga grapes from the south are also being offered at $2.50 per crate, but are not fully ripened yet. The vegetable market Is showing practically no change, save that of ferings are slightly cheaper. Green peas are hardening, and late offer ings are not up to standard. Maximilian and "La Palema."

EMERGENCY ORDINANCE PASSED BY COUNCIL TO BE SIGNED BY MAYOR AT ONCE ABSENCE DELAYS CRUSHER BUYING Chairman of Special Committee Not in Attendance Two Members Appraisal Boaro Resign From Work Oregon City's dog-muzzling ordin ance was passed finally at Monday morning's council meeting, and will become effective aa soon as signed by Mayor Jones, who returned from his brief vacation at the beach In time to be on hand to preside over tbe session of the city dad's.' Ths ordinance provides that every dog in the city must be muzzle-l throughout the months of July, Aug ust and September, regardless of the fact as to whether the animal is at large or confined In a yard. Unmuz zled dogs are "game" for the police and pound master during the three month, period, and punishment Is provided for dog-owners who do not equip their pets with suitable bite-preventers. With the becoming effecu.e of the ordinance there Is to be a general cleanup of unattached and stray ca nines In the city, snd at the same time the police will gather In all un licensed dogs found running at large. The council also passed a couple of routine street Improvement ordin ances. The ordinance providing for the purchase of a municipal rock crusher waa not taken up. Council man Tooze, the chairman of the spe cial committee at present' having this matter in charge, being absent. This Is the second time that the matter has gone over becausa Mr. Tooze bas not been present, the ordinance being on tbe calendar at the previous meet ing as well. Two members ot the board of ap praisers of the upper Seventh street approach to the proposed municipal elevator tendered their regiaaticn, as serting that they were Interested be cause they owned nearby propertv. Other members will be appointed to fill the vacancies In the course ot a week or so.. u- CASTOR I A Tor InfknU and Children. The Kind You Han Always Bought Bear the Signature Freiherr von Elselsberg Frelherr von Elselsberg, who la generally regarded as the leading surgeon of Europe, was born at Stein haus, Austria, July 31. 1860, and re ceived his education at the universit ies 'of Zurich and Vienna. After fill ing professorships at Utrecht and Koenlgsberg he became. In 1901, a lecturer on surgery a; the University of Vienna. He is the head of what is known as tbe Billroth Clinic, which was founded by Dr. Billroth, the "father of pathology." During Dr. Billroth' lifetime he was his first as sistant, and when he died he succeed ed him. Several years ago Dr. von Elselsberg made a tour of America, visiting many hospitals and medical schools and lecturing before members of the medical profession. First Civilization. It was In Egypt in all probability tbst tbe condition we call civilization bad Its rise at a time when the very Idea of writing wss nnknown to other nations. Ad attempt Is now being made to show tbat tbe Idea of tbe set tled and mure or less orderly and peaceful social state to which we give tbe name of civilization came from Cbaldea or Babylonia, when tbat sort of thing existed long before it waa brought to Egypt Bat sot as yet Is the theory clearly proved, though Its advocates are making some pretty strong point In Its favor. So far, bow ever, tbe land of Egypt bold th title New fork American. DOMING NOW MANDATORY E Persistence, of poul'ryin.ii In sell ing eggs direct to coi.s.imcrs Is keep ing the retail trad pretty wH de moralized, und whIW this particular product Is quoted at 30 cents selling and 28 cents buying, there are man local stores where n- egfjs are to be had. Portland Is also reporting dlffl- cu'ty with Its egg market, and practi cally nothing but casj eggs are being orrered. Local peaches, fogether with fruit from o'lier parts of Oregon, still continues to glut tha market, owing to their poor condition. Buyers who wire at first t?mptd by the state fruit, and who found It rotting on their bands, are now refusing to touch the kjpiily, and aa a result the market Is running all the way from $1.20 down to two-bits a box. In sharp contract to Orcfcon peachea are the Yakima apricots being offer ed, which are aelling readily at a dol lar a crate, and which keep welt and have a fine flavor. "Peach plums" from California and Washington are also showing wall in the trade. Hiitti r beans have added their tasti ne to t ie green vegetable offering, and ara selling at two pound for 15 cents. They are perhaps the besc ol Cie present greenstutfs, not having been effected by sunburn, as have green peas and string beans. L MARKET IS LOWE Eggs continue scarce and at So cents. Potiltrymen who hav supplies are selling largely to consumers di rect, and so making an extra two cents a dozen. Dealers are complain ing of this, but there seems no way to remedy matters. Loganbarrles at a dollar a crate are plentiful again, and there Is consider able trade in them for borne canning. Raspberries of latje crop are also on the market at the same price. Apricots are leadlpg peaches In sales, and are finding ready buyers at from $1 per crate up to' $1.25. Most of the best stock comes from outside the ptate. Peaches con:li,ue poor, so poor In fact that a shipment received at Portland Friday from The Dalles was condemned. Cantaloupes continue in good quan tity and quality, but there Is but lit tle stirring witb watermelons. Some grapes are In the market, but are not selling well. Some grapes are being offered as low as 40 cents a crate, wholesale, but buyers are chary, as the fruit will not keep. Green vegetables are holding plen tiful and are reasonable in prices. Cooler weather is improving the qual ity. MET FOR FRUIT 1$ GETTING DULL Winding up ot the early berry sea son is forecasted for the coming week, tbe great glut of fruit now be ing offered making it unprofitable for most dealers to attempt to handle the stock. It is expected that the bal ance of the crop will go to the can neries. Some late fruit will be of fered In local markets from nearby ranchers, but there will be but little general sales of logans and raspber ries. Crate prices are now from 75 cents up. Butter Is now quoted locally at 40 centa a pound, retail, or 75 cents a roll. This advance on the smaller quantities was forecasted earlier In tbe week, and follows action by the creameries, who declare that they need cream to supply the Ice-cream demand. Cucumbers are coming in heavily, and prices have been cut Just about half. Sales are being made at 60 and 75 centa a box, which la pretty near summer prices. Green vegetables are continuing in plentiful variety, and since tbe end of the recent hot weather are show ing better form. Small fruits are hard to get at any price, offerings being for the most part bletted or spoiled from faculty packing. MARKET EASV; EGGS ALONE STAY HIGH Egga continue to hold their price in the retail markets, And are still quot ed at 30 centa a 4ozen, with buying at 27 and 28 cents. Tbe scarcity of the past week has subsided somewhat, and poultrymen, as a result, are hav ing less of a field for direct selling to consumers. Forecast of a further ad vance in price is made in some quar ters. It being said that receipts will grow less and less as summer ad vances. Berries of all kinds are ranging from a dollar to $1.25 per crate, but are not moving rapidly, with the ex ception of blackberries, which are in good shape. Late raspberries show a tendency to be soft Hood River cherries are being of fered the trade, but are In poor shape. Perhaps the best comment on the Hood River stuff Is that It is being offered at 75 cents a box, while Wash ington and Eastern Oregon cherries are being readily bought at $1.25 a box. Willamette valley cherries are also in the local market, but are not attracting buyers. Cantaloupe has dropped 25 centa a crate from last week, and price now range from $2.25 to $2.50. The fruit is In better shape than formerly. New crop sweet potatoes are being offered at 7 cents a pound. New spuds have dropped off about a third In price since last week. How's This?

TERMS FROM PORTLAND RAILWAY COMPANY EIGHTH FRANCHISE IS ACCEPTED Paer Firm Agrees to All Terms Pro posed by Community In Fight Which Ha Laited Over Two Yar The city of Gladstone won a two years' flht with ths Portland Rail way, Light t lowsr company Thurs day, when official's of the big con cern acccped the elshth franchise which bas been proposed In a long drawn cut discussion between the community and t!u company, and the CladHton-! council passed the measure to second reading. Ihe franchise is considered most favorable to tho city, and secures for Gladstone many priv ileges tjat even Por:Idnd has not ob talncd. The franchlsj deals solely with the light and power branches of tbe service of the company. Provisions of the franchise specify that ail poles usrd by the company are to be s:t 12 Inches inside tihe curb line, and that the city is to have the rifiht to string two wires for mun icipal use upon al' pole lines. The company must accept a common-user provision, and permit and telephone or telegraph company to tise Its poles; It being the object of the city to prevent the erection of more than one pole line on each street.
