62 ACTIONS DISMISSED OWING TO
FAILURE OF LITIGANTS TO
COME TO TRIAL
OLDEST GF SUITS FILED IN 1895
Cases Embrace Every Variety, In
cluding Divorces, Recovery
of Debts and Dam- '
ages
Circuit Judge Campbell on Wed
nesday cleared the court docket of
over three score cases that have been
cluttering up the records from as
far back as 1895. These cases have
have never been brought up for trial,
attorneys in them either asking for
delays or having made settlements
before the litigants reached the bar.
Desiring to rid tiie cajendar of them,
Judge Campbell dismissed them with
out prejudice to further action in the
matters involved.
In all there were 62 cases. The
. oldest one dismised was filed Feb
JTiary 15,-1895. The actions included
several proceedings for divorce
brought b yPortland people who fil
ed their suits in Oregon City to avoid
.publicity of trials in the metropolis,
and who subsequently managed to
patch up their matrimonial woes.
Various suits for the recovery of
debts, and for the settlement of es
tates are also included in the list.
The clearing of these cases from the
calendar will considerably simplify
the proceedings of the circuit court,
as it will be unnecessary hereafter
to have these old cases assigned for
trial, and records of them kept. The
list of dismissed actions follows:

COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN TO UN
RAVEL TANGLE OF IDEAS
AS TO SEVENTH STREET
BITTER OPPOSITION IS EXPECTED
Remonstrances Against Proposed Im
provement Expected to Result
in Modifying Decision,
or in No Action
What may be called government
by elimination and remonstrance was
decided upon at Wednesday night's
council meeting with regard to the
improvement of Seventh Street, from
High to Jackson Streets. After a mass
of argument had besn indulged in,
and almost everything possible had
been siggested, th2 city engineer,
upon motion of Councilman Horton,
was instructed to prepare plans and
specifications for hardsurfacing this
thoroughfare, setting forth the costs
of the different grades of paving that
he might believe suitable.
This action, however, was not tak-
; en with any idea of hardsurfacing
the street. Instead it was detepmined
upon merely as a means of bringing
to a head the discussion of the matter,
and finally deciding what should be
done with this street in the line of
improvement. It was believed that if
plans were put underway for the
hardsurfacing of the street, the di
vided opinion now in existence in. re
gard to the improvement would be
crystalized, and soma definite ' line of
improvement madn possible.
As Councilman Tooze expressed it,
the matter was thus to be put square
ly up to the property holders.
"Discussion this evening has shown
us," said Mr. Tooze, "that some of
the peopla want the street improved
with a crushed rock or macadam
pavement. Others want merely to
have the bad spots repaired, and the
whole street levelled off. Still others
want hard surface pavement. We can
not seem to find out which is want
ed the most, so I believe it will be
best to start preliminary work for the
carrying out of some one of these
improvements, and then let those who
are opposed come - in and remon
strate, and so put that system out of
the way. Then we" will have settled
that we don't want one kind of an
improvsment, and we cm lay that
aside snd st)rt another. Remonstran
ces will follow on that, pnd we will
be able to dispose of the second
method.
"Then we can taT$e up the third
improvement and quite possibly re
monstrance will dispose of that al
so, and then the council will have
done its duty, and we will not havj
to worry about any pavement at all."
In the course of the discussion r?
garding toe improvement Duane Ely
spoke in favor of a hard hurface pav
ing, urging it as the only solution to
"constantly wearing out the streets."
Another property owner interested
rose and remarked that he had ob
served that "whenever any of the
business men of this town want an
improvement, they see to it that the
cost for the same is placed on the
people who buy goods from- them.'
T. L. Charman registered a . strong
protest against hard surfacing Sev
enth Street, saying that he believed
the present crushed rock pavement
perfectly suitable if sufficient funds
were spent to keep it in repair.
This brought forth the allegation
from other property owners that no
pavement could be kept in repair on
the street unless adequate drainage
was provided, and following this com
plaint was made that the present
sev.or on Vie .street was altogether
insufficient to carry off the surface
water, and would not serve the prop
erty if modern houses with full base

GLASS ENDS LIFE
"Bob" the only canine dipsomaniac
of Oregon City met a violent death
early Wednesday. He ate a steak
that had been rolled in ground glass,
and id a few minutes the career of
Oregon City's most notorious dog was
at an end. A rumor that the animal
died of delerium tremens was vigor
ously denied by its owner, although
lie admitted that his pet was the
victim of the drink habit. "Eob" was
10 years of age and had been addict
ed to the use of beer and whisky all
his life. When a pup, mischievous
young men took him into saloons and
gave him intoxicating drinks. He
soon acquired the aahit, and in spite
of the efforts of his friends to bring
about a reformation he never lost the
taste. He would frequently go to the
door of a saloon and beg piteously to
be admitted. Men- inside, Knowing l
what the dog wanted, supplied him i
with a glaes of beer or whisky just
as they saw fit. Oftentimes "Bob"
would become so intoxicated that he
could hardly walk, but he was never j
quarrelsome and never boisterous.
One night about ' two years ago he j
and a hobo who had beaten his way j
on a -ireignt tram into lae cuy, iorni
ed a friendship and both got so rip
roariously intoxicated that the police
locked them in the city bastile. Both
were let go the next morning. "Bob''
for many years was the property of
Josepn Goodfellow, who, upon moving
from the city, gave the dog to a friend.

"LOVE AND AFFECTION"
"PRICE" OF REALTY
Campaigns for the specification of
the exact consideration concerned in
real estate deals, instead of the
time honored "one dollar and other
valuable considerations", bore fruit
Wednesday at the county courthouse
when- taere was recorded a deed that
set forth that Polly K. Mfiller trans
ferred to Lettie M. Nemcombe 55 by
100 fset in the Hector Campbell dona
tion land claim for "one dollar,
love and affection."
The somewhat unusual considera
tion named in the deed caused no lit
tle comment among those who saw
it. The transfer was made in 1907,
but has just been recorded.

HALTAMONT TO BE IN
BOOSTER HORSE .SHOW
Haltamont, probably the best race
horse ever raised in Oregon, will be
one of the ' attractions at the horss
ihow and booster celebration to be
given in this city April 25 and 26.
The horse was raised in this county
by J. T. Apperson and was trained
by James Petty. Haltamont won a
large number of races in the North
west fair circuit last year, the purses
amounting to more than $7,000. The
pacer is now owned by W. T. Vaughah
of Molalla, and will probably be
driven in the street parade at the
booster celebration by Sim Lindsey,
the well known driver of Canby, who
was seriously hurt while driving in
Portland about a year ago.

Next Friday
A general inclination toward com
bativeness, and several brushes be
tween Councilmen Tooze and Holman
marked the council meeting Wednes
day night, when the evening from 8
until after 11 o'clock was taken up
with mingled discussion and accom
plishment. The meeting opened smoothly
enough with the reading of a com
munication from H. McAllister, of
the University of Oregon faculty, ad
vising the judicious use of lampblack
in coloring cement sidewalks. The
ball was started rolling over a re
port of the special liquor license com
mittee in regard to the transfer of
a saloon license. The committee fa
vored the transfer, but Councilman
Beard asked further time to consider
the matter. This brought Chairman
Holman, of the special committee, to
his feet with a protest.
"If you can't take the word of the
members of this committee, who
have looked into the matter, I shall
ask that the committee b& discharg
ed'', snapped Holman.
Mr. Beard decided that he could
take the committee's word, and the
committee consented to continue its
labors.
A communication from Thomas F.
Byan, relative to what he considered
unjust assessments for street improve
ments served to lull hostilities. Mr.
Ryan asked to be relieved of pay
ments, and submitted a compromise.

WHAT HAPPENED TO MARY
A Will and a Way
The Eighth Story
"Mary" long ago established a reputation for courage. The same in
domitable will-power which she has always shown carries her through
a desperate encounter -with a dissolute young man who is attempting to
prevent the signing of his father's will. A burning house and this desper
ate man cannot etop "Mary" who, after a hand-to-hand struggle, is res
cued by a fireman whom the frenzied man nearly succeeds in forcing off
the ladder as he carries "Mary" to safety. It is a thrilling drama, per,
fectly I'layed. '

ROME, April 9. None of the Pope's
physicians have expressed the opin-'
ion that his holiness will rally for
a time but say his general condition
renders it unlikely that he will last
out the present month and that the
end may" come suddenly from heart
failure.
. The attending physicians found that
the condition of the Pope had Improv
ed during the night, and this improve
ment was maintained throughout the
day although his temperature show
ed a slight increase tonight.
The patient is receiving as foods
eggs beaten up in milk, but his in
ability to absorb nourishment contrib
utes to the depression from which
the Pope suffers.
The relapse is following the same
course as the original attack of in
fluenza, a cough being present, with
irritation of the bronchial tubes and
difficultty in respiration, which has
led to the report in some cases- that
the Pope is afflicted with asthma.
I This, however, is erroneous. The
! condition of albuminuria, which usu
ally accompanies influenza, is also
; present, indicating an inflammation
i of the gidneys, but it is hoped that
' his is of a transtory character.
