Kradshaw, circuit judge, has rendered a decision In the case of Jake Thornton of Hood Klver, plaintiff, against Charles S. Chapman and Thos. H. Sherrard of Portland, defendants. In this case the defendants bought land in the Hood Klver valley and contracted with a man by the name of Hallam to clear It. The latter subcontracted with the plaintiff to slash the timber down to six Inches In diameter. The plaintiff completed the contract and Hallam, being unable to pay, filed a lieu on the land for bis labor and brought suit to foreclose the Hen. As a defense to the suit the defend ants contended that the slashing of the timber was not clearing the land and that plaintiff could not claim a Hen on the land for his labor. Judge Kradshaw decided In favor of the plaintiff, holding that slashing the timber was clearing the land. Thorn ton was represented by Attorney S. W. Stark, and defendants' attorney was Wm. L. Krewster of Portland. ANNUAL MEETING OF ALUMNI HELD The local High School alumni held their annual meeting Wednesday eveuiug in the assembly room of the High School. About forty were present.

Changaa In the Volume of Blood Cir culation Whan Wo Dream. Dreams are due to an Increase of sensatloD and circulation over that which exists In profound sleep. Obser vation made upon patients with cra nial defects show tbnt when we are dreaming the brain is greater In vol ume than tn deep sleep and less than when we are awake. Thus this Inter mediate volume of blood would Indi cate that dreams are an Intermediate stage between unconsciousness and wakefulness, and tbelr Incomplete and Irregular Intelligence would Indicate the same thing. This Increased circu lation Is usually due to sensory stimu lation affecting the vasomotor center nd causing a return of blood to the bead, with resultant increased con sciousness. Contrnry to popular belief, dreams In themselves do not contribute to light or broken sleep In which they are present Such a condition Is due to the ever present stimuli, which accord ing to their strength or tbe degree of irritability of the cells, maintain even In sleep a varying degree of conscious ness of which the dreams are merely a manifestation. Therefore the fatigu ing effect often also attributed to dreams Is not due to them, but to tha lighter degree of sleep and less com plete cell restoration which they ac company and which are due to oomo Irritation.

Is In line with the conclusions of K. H. Meyer, a former member of the pub lic service commission of Wisconsin, and recently appointed a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission by President Tnft, who says that competition Is not a guarantor of good service or a regulator of rates. The Wisconsin Public Service Com mission after Investigation came to the conclusion that public utilities were natural monopolies ngalust which the people could only be guarded by public service cotntnls slons to regulate them. This they claimed was particularly so In small communities where the Held of com petition Is limited. The tendency, says the Wisconsin commission. Is for the companies to merge where there are two, and it concludes by saying that the only way to stop public nervlee companies from making Illegitimate profits from unreasonable rates Is by authority vested tn a commission by state or federal laws. The report states that ruinous and destructive competition Is as much an evil as un restricted and unregulated monop oly, as In bot h Instances t he economic loss cinies out of the consumer. It advises that w here one company Is covering the field efficiently and developing Its plant as necessity de mands that Its Investment Is entitled to proper protect Ion and encourage ment from the public which w ill ob tain more satisfactory rates and more efficient service under enforced regulation than by competition.
