ROSEBURG, Ore., Oct. 31. (Dr. R
M. Brumfield, Roseburg dentist, con
victed of the murder of Dennis Russell
on July 33, was sentenced to death
on the gallows by Judge Bingham this
morning, Friday, January 13, being

Plans are under way for the hold
ing of the next regular meeting
the Clackamas Countly Jerse3' Cattle
Club at the Pacific International Live
stock Exposition in Portland. The ex
position will be held November 5 ti
12, and the session of the jersey cat
tie club will come on Thursday, No
vember 10, atj 2 o'clock in the after
noon
The speaker of the day will be John
Lee, of Shelbywood, Ky., who is to lie
the jersey cattle judge at the exposi
tion. A total of $3,500 wili be offered
" as to why sentence should not be pro
nounced. Dr. P.rumfield, pale and evi
dently weakened after his recent at
tempt at suicide, said:
"Only this, your honor: As God is
my judge, I know nothing of how Den
nis Russell came to his death'
The date selected for Bnimfield's ex
ecution continues, the unlucky thir
teenth as the convicted man's "jinx
day, for it was on July 13 that the
grime for which he is to hang was
committed. It was on August lo. a
month later that Brumfield was cap
tured in Canada, and his trial was in
progress when another 13th cf the
month arrived.
The judge proceeded with the fatal
words of the time-honored legal form
"It is the sentence of the law, pro
nounced by this court, that you. Rich
ard M. Brumfield. be hanged by the
neck until you are dead, and may God
have mercy on your soul "
Judge Bingham was sentencing a
human, being to death for the first
time. More than anyone else, he
teemed to realize the seriousness of
the occasion. Although he ha-1 steeled
himself against it, his voice quavered
and almost broke as he repeated th
grim phrases of the law.
Dr. Bnimfield's face was a mask
of complete composure. Mrs. Brum
field sc-.t close beside him, dry-eyed,
her head erecti.
The courtroom audience arose. The
show was over for them. The curious,
the cruel, the morbid thrill-seeker?,
jostled and crowded as close to the
condemned man as pofsible, and
stared.
The prisoner left for his cell. A
few minutes later Mrs. Brumfield and
Mrs. C- I' Patrick, the doomed man's
sister, went into the jail to say fare
well. I
amount, $2,500 will b posted by. th
exposition, and $1,000 by the Ameri
can Jersey Breeders' Association.
Exhibits Are Listed
There are 20 individual exhibit class
es, six championship classes, two
group classes and four group classes
The Portland Journal offers a special
loving cup for the "Best Breeders'
Young Herd" of jersey cattle at the
exposition. To be' won three times by
the same exhibitor, this will become
his nersonal property. During the
past two years this cup has been ta
en by different breeders, but both
from Monmouth.
Among the features of the jersey
exhibit this year, is one exceptional
bull "Esther's Pilot of Waikiki" ;f
Waikikj farm, Spokane, Washington,
which won first in the Jersey junior
yearling class, then won junior cham
pionship and then was made graud
champion.
Many Jerseys Entered
The judge last year had no lig'.it
job on his hands, for the Jersey en
tries were very numerous. This year
word has been received that the en
tries for the National Dairy Show J
number 247 - jerseys. Last year t.h 3
Pacific International Livestock Expo
sition had 325. It was a wonderful
dairy show, with the Holsteir.s almost
as strong in nnmbcr, and wonderful
classes of Guernseys and Ayishires.
The chances this year are that every
class will be bigger and the quality
every bit as high as anything here Ian
vear, and higher in many instances
All members of the Clackamas club
are expected to attend, and, accordin
to Mrs. A. Malar, a general invitation
to the session cf the breeders has been
extended to all jersey men in the coun

TAX REDUCTION
SURVEY STARTED
IN THIS COUNTY
The first steps in tjie survey of
Clackamas county under the commis
sion on tax investigation for the state
of Oregon, were taken here Friday
when R. V. Gunn, farm management
demonstrator of the O. A. C arrived
here to aid County Agent W. A. Holt,
in starting to collect data upon the
farnisin this d.'strict.
At the last session of the legislature
the governor was empowered to ap
point a committee to investigate the
equity of the present tax distribution.
This has been done and the work of
investigating has been turned ever to
lhe Oregon Agricultural College and
the University of Oregon. The col
lege through the county agents
throughout the state, will make a de
tailed survey of '.he farms, and the
university will conduct research
among the industrial plants.
It is the purpose of the survey to
determine the proper existing rela
tionship between capital invested in
the farms and industries and the cap
ital expended, in their bearing upon
the distribution of the tax burden. The
farm survey includes the collection of
all data regarding investment, produc
tion, costs of operation, etc.
The local county agent's office al
ready has the required information
lmon 40 farms in the county. This
was taken in connection with another
survey last year. It is planued tuis
vear to augment this list by informa
tion on aouroximately 15 more farms.
These, since they are to be represent
ative of all of the agricultural pai i
of the county, will form the basis for
the conclnsions drawn by tho tax in
vestigation committee for this dis
trict. Later in the year It Is expected th it
a survev of th industrial plants of the
city will be made, this to be conducted
bv representatives of the university.
Business houses over the state will be
visited in representative groups.
The movement is the first compre
hensive state controlled investigation
ennn this suhiest. over to be conducted ,
in Oregon. It. is in response to the j
trnei-sl outer." a?a'nst the heavy t
burden, and it is expected, according
to those who are active in the won.
that the commission's conclusions; will
pave the way to better legislation,
through a further insight into indus
trial and economic conditions.
Hawley Has Filed
New Divorce Suit
Suit for divorce against ILnjoriis
Hawley, has been filed in- the Wash
ington county circuit court at Hills
boro, by Willard Hawley, Jr
No announcement of the action wis
made in Oregon City, but it ie under
-tood that the divorce is the forerun
ner of a financial settlement of the
case out of court.
In filing the complaint, Willard
Hawley asks that a divorce be given
him, without the granting of any ali
mony to Mrs. Hawley. He also asks
the sole custody of Eva, their only
child.
Desertion is given as the ground for
the divorce, November 19, 1&19 being
named as the date of desertion.
It is understood that for legal rea
sons the suit is to be withdrawn
from the circuit court at Hillsboro,
and filed in the Multnomah county
courts at Portland. This according
to Harrison Allen, attorney for the
plaintiff, will be done either Monday
or Tuesday next.
Willard Hawley confirmed the state
ment that a settlement wa to be
made out of court, but, refused to fur
ther discuss the affair. Marjorie Haw
ley said that she had no statement to
make other than she and Mr. Hawley
had agreed not to discuss- tjhe pen 1
ing action for publication.
It is believed that the matter will
be privately decided and that the di
vorce suit will not be contested when
it comes to trial in Portland.
The original divorce suit was filed
in the Clackamas county courts No
vember 21, 1919 by Marjoiie Hawley.

That sentiment of the granges is
not universally in favor of the aban
donment of the bond road urogram,

nethy Grange at Farkplacdln a refer
endum unf:nimously voted against thi

acting upon the referendum started
bv the Famona grange. When the

were voted in 1919. was started byth!
grange, it met with considerable on
position. The grange decided to can
vas its member granges throughout
the county in order to determine th.;
sentiment before the action ' was
;:ushed. The disapproval voiced by
the Abernethy grange is the only ac
tion that has been taken this far
Other granges throughout the county
are expected to declare themselves ni
a short time.

ORCHARDS, PLAN FOR
Modern Methods to be Used
On Farms; Cooperative '
Markets Talked
Flans for the establishment of two
demonstration orchards in Clackamas
county were made at a meeting of
the. Horticultural Project Leaders of
the Clackamas county farm bureau.
The plan is to establish an orchard in
the Cams district and one in the Es-
tacada district. At these orchards
will be put into practice the latest
methods in horticultural work to dem-
ujisiraie uue vaiue or improved sys
tems of farming.
The meeting was attended by C. L
Long, horticultural project leader of
the extension division of the Oregon
Agricultural college. Mr. Long out
lined the work that is'under wav and
aided in the planning of the. details
for the establishment of demonstra
tion orchards here.
The orchards are to be permanentlv
operated under the system outlined by
the college through the county agent.
Special attention is to be given to
improved methods of pruning, spray
ing, thinning and soil management.
Each year the farmers of the coun
ty will make a tour of the various or
chards, comparing the work done on
the demonstration ranches with that
done in the other orchards through
out the state. The movement is part
of a plan to vindicate the theories
which ara being developed toward
the improvement of horticultural work
and to prove to the farmers that their
crops can be improved and increased
through the proper handling of their
trees
The project leaders at their meet
ing also outlined the work to be un
dertaken at horticultural day of Farm
er's Week The Farmers' Week will
be held here December 13-16, the last
cay being devoted to horticultural
work. It ?s planned to make this one
of the biggest days of the week here,
and a special study of the horticul
tural survey recently completed by
the county agricultural office will be
made, and .'vry8of, matketing will, be
discussed'. The marketing of small
fruits and berries, from a cooperative
basis has been under discussion here
for some time, and it is expected that
the first .definite steps toward organ
ization will be taken during the Farm
ers Week here.

NEW ANSWERS IN
CITY HALL CASE
NOW REQUIRED
An order allowing certain parts of
the plaintiffs motion 5n the so-called
city hall case has been issued by Cir
cuit Judge J. U. Campbell, after having
the matter under advisement for more
than a week.
The plaintiff in the case to restrain
the city from building1 a city hall in
Mcl oughlin park, took exception to
the answer of the defendants setting
forth the fact that other public laud
bad been used for building purposes.
In their motion, they asked that parts
of the answer relative to tfhe other
cases, be stricken out. Juage camp
bell allowed this portion of the answer
to be barred, and gave the defendants
20 days in which to file their amend
ed reply.
Restraint Is Asked
When plans were laid fcr the build
ing of the city hall in Mc.Loughlin
park after considerable controversy, a
suit was filed in the name of Mary
Caufield and Mary Norris, againse the
city, to restrain them from using the
park as a site for a municipal struc
ture. The defendant cityr filed a de
murer to the complaint, hut this ac
tion was never argued, and they sub
sequently filed their answer.
In their answer they set forth as
examples the fact that such . buildings
as the library, and city schools had
been built on park blocks. The plain
tiffs in their motion held that this was
irrevalent to the case, and their con
tention was supported by the court.
In passing upon the motion Judge
Campbell stated that he would pass
upon the case from the basis of facts
and that he did not consider the rela
tion of other parks in the city of ma
terial weight as affecting the city hall
case. He said that he held this view
in support of the contention that one'
of the prime things that should be
taken into consideration was the pur
pose for which the site was dedicated
by old John McLoughlin, and that thus
the disposal of other municipal pro
perty had no bearings upon this par
ticular case.
Action Is Expected
The filing of the amended reply, un
less other legal means of holding un
the decision are taken, should briii?
he case to trial. It is understood that
it is to be carried to the supreice
court. In the mean time the buildiug
of a city hall :n Oregon City is held
p, for until the validity of the selec-
on of the McLoughlin park site is
determined, the administration wiil
probably not decide upon some oth!--r
ocation over the expressed wifhes o.
the people.
