ESTABLISHED 1866 OREGON DR. BRUMFIELD IS SENTENCED TO HANG ON JAN. 13 MURDERER OF HERMIT TO FORFEIT LIFE Voice of Judge Breaks as He Names Time for the Execution 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 JERSEY BREEDERS TO HOLD BIG MEETING AT LIVESTOCK EXPOSITION Local Club to Have Session at Show in Portland on November 10 the date designated for the execution. When, asked if he had anything to Jay in prizes for jersey exhibits.' Of this 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 ty.

CAPTAIN ROBERT J YCUNG Clyde G. Huntley is Sworn in as Oregon Revenue Collector Captain Was Identified With t Old Boats that Plied Willamette River 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.

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. stacada Boy Makes U of O Frosh Team , Raymond Lovelace, . former ni;n school Dlaver at Estacada has earne 1 a substitute berth on the University of Oregon freshman squad.
