IN THE SEVERAL COURTS
SUIT TO RECOVER ALLEGED ILLE
GAL SHERIFF'S FEES.
Smn.Il Cane, Upon the Decision of
- JYJiIeli Several Thousand Dol
lars Is Involved Notes.
In tho suit of Guy G. "Willis against
George C. Scars, to recover $280 fees col
lected by Sears as Sheriff between July
2. 1894, and February 25, 1895, a demurrer
to the complaint was argued before Judge
Frazer yesterday. As the county received
these fees, A. S. Bernstein, who appeared
as attorney for the defendant, made that
point, and also pleaded the statute of limi
tation. While the present action is for
only a small sum, it is stated that the
total amount of claims similarly situated
is several thousand dollars.
The return of the fees Is demanded be
cause It is alleged they were illegally col
lected, as the Sheriff had no right to collect
them under the law of 1S93, although he
presumed he had, and that the Supreme
Court has so decided. Mr. Bernstein ar
gued that, according to numerous decis
ions), which he cited, the fees cannot be
recovered for the reason that they were
paid voluntarily by the plaintiffs In the
actions and suits, were collected by the
defendant by virtue of his office as Sher
iff. Counsel said the statute of limita
tion, three years, had run, and read the
law concerning the time of 'beginning
actions, as follows:
"Actlon-at-law shall only be commenced
within the periods prescribed in this title
after the cause of action shall have oc
curred." Under the subdivision, "within
three years." ar !nniurirt o ..
against a Sheriff, Coroner, or Constable
upon a liability incurred h . .inin
any act m his offlHni ononi-.. -
virtue of his office; or by the omission of
an official duty, Including the nonpayment
of money collected upon an execution. But
this section shall not apply to an action
for an escape."
?l?e.attf rn tor the Pontiff contended
that the decisions which speak of "moneys
collected by a Sheriff by virtue of his
office ' do not apply in this case, and as
serted that the defendant collected these
fees by color of his office, and not by
ylrtue of his office. Ke submitted decis
ions from other states .on this view of
the case. The law did not Justify him
counsel said, in making these exactions
He refused to act in cases until fees were
paid, and made that a condition of service
and collected the fees only by color of his
office, and not by virtue of It. He -was a
wrongdoer, as there was no law authoriz
ing the fees. Counsel nrged that the gen
eral statute of limitation of six years, and
not the statute of three years, governs
The court took the matter under advised
ment. If this proceeding fails, a suit
against the county will probably be filed.
Referred to an Examiner.
The suit of PWlomen Smith against HI-yu-tss-mll-kin
(or words to that effect)
to recover possession, of a farm on the
Vmatllla Indian reeervatlon, was yester
day turned over to Special Examiner C
H. Carter by Judge Bellinger for adjudi
cation. PJain-tiff is a half-fcreed Indian woman,
who occupied and cultivated a farm on tho
reservation previous to the allotment of
the reservation lands in, severalty. The
Commissioners decided that she was not
cxrtltled to an allotment, and her farm was
given to Hi-yutze, etc Plaintiff appealed
to tho department from the decision of the
Ctoraralnsioners. and it web decided that
she was entitled to an- allotment. An ef
fort was made to get her to accept an
other tract of land, but she insisted on
having1 her own old farm, and brought
malt against Hi-yutze. etc., to eject him.
Examiner Carter -will settle the row.

THE TELEPHONE ORDINANCE
Some of the Points in Connection
With, the City's Official Service.
From an official who nas been giving
considerable attention to the telephone
business, in connection with the city's of
ficial service. The Oregonian takes down
tho following statement:
"The City of Portland would be absolute
ly at the mercy of the lessees of the Bell
Telephone Company for 50 years, should
the proposed ordinance become a law.
"The company may charge what they
please for telephone service, as the ordi
nance fixes no maximum rates. Nearly
every city in the United States now grant
ing franchises for telephone companies
protects Its citizens In the matter of rates
by fixing a maximum rate. This was
done by the Council of this city in giving
the Columbia Telephone Company a fran
chise, and had that company the entire
telephone business of the city It should
charge at the most only $5 for a business
telephone and 12 50 for a residence tele
phone per month. Why should so import
ant a concession be granted any other
company?
'Under tho proposed ordinance, streets
may be torn up and excavations made by
the company where they please, without
consulting any city official; poles may be
placed in the same manner, and while
poles may be removed to suit the conveni
ence of the public, they cannot be taken
down; the company may put Its wires un
derground, when It may choose to do so
without consulting tho city authorities.
In fact the city would have nothing to
say about these matters should this ordi
nance become a law.
"The wires of the city fire alarm and
the wires of the city police system, owned
by the city, are now carried on tho poles
of the Columbia Telephone Company, and
have been so carried for the last three
years. Prior to that time the said wires
were carried on the poles of the Oregon
Telephone & Telegraph Company; but
the city was ordered by said company to
remove the wires from Its poles. This
order was complied with upon the advice
of the City Attorney. The city has paid
nothing for the use of the poles of the
Columbia Telephone Company during the
the years last past, and has the permis
sion of the Columbia people to continue
the use of its poles ad libitum without
cost
"At the time the Oregon Telephone peo
ple ordered the city-to remove Its wires
tho Oregon Telephone Company asked $10
per annum for the use of a phone in a
police booth the city owning the wires
and keeping up the service. This being
considered exorbitant tho city supplied its
police booths with phones of its own, got
a better phone and at a less cost than one
year's rental from the Oregon people.
These phones are still in use. and are said
to give flrst-class service.
"If the proposed ordinance pass, the city
will be compelled to use the phones of the
Oregon Company for 50 years, and none
other, no matter how gt-at Improvements
might be made In the meantime nor how
superior other phones might be.
"Tho city now has free telephone serv
ice for its officials in their offices, and such
freo service may be continued Indefinitely
If desired, without granting the conces
sions asked in this ordinance.
' "A careful examination of the ordinance
will show that the proposed bond of $10.
000 Is simply a guarantee that the city's
grantee will repair whatever damage it
may occasion to the streets and a!ley3 of
tho city in taking Its own good time and
manner of furthering Its own Interests in
the city, regardless of the rights and priv
ileges of the citizens and taxpayers."

READY FOR DISTRIBUTION
SOTJVEXIR BUTTONS FOR THE ORE
GON SOLDIERS' 3IOXU3IEXT.
Committee of Three ex-Volunteer
Chosen, to Take Charge of the
Matter of Sale.
One thousand of the souvenir buttons
being manufactured of Manila cannon
metal for the benefit of the monument
fund, are now. ready for distribution.
General Summers called a meeting of the
administrative council of the Spanish and
Filipino War Veterans Monday evening,
at "which time a. committee of three, consisting-
of Captain H. L. "Wells, Captain
R. E. Davis and CaDtaln Chrlss Ttnll
Judge Advocate on the veteran staff. This
committee organized yesterday by choos
ing Captain Davis treasurer and Captain
Wells secretary, and it Is now discuss
ing plans of work. It is the purpose of
the committee to distribute the buttons
throughout the state where they may be
sold wlhout cost, so that, the entire pro
ceeds will inure to the fund. This, of
course, excepts the cost of two or three
cents apiece for manufacturing.
What methods wll be adopted for sell,
lug the buttons has not been decided up
on yet, but It will be today or tomorrow.
One plan suggested Is to have most. If
not all, the work done thaough the school
children. If permission could be secured
from the school authorities. The patriot
ism of the juveniles seems more 'ardent
than that of the adults, and some teach
ers have volunteered the Idea that prob
ably the most rapid sale would result
from enlisting the children in tho work
of building a monument for the state's
soldiers. Several applications have been
made to General Summers up to date for
handling the buttons, but In some In
stances the applicants asked a commis
sion. This cannot be thought of until, at
least. It Is demonstrated that the people
will not become Interested In the work
otherwise. Another idea suggested was
placing the amount to be sent to a cer
tain city with the postmaster, requesting
that he turn them over to a reliable bus
iness man of the place who would mani
fest his patriotic interest by disposing
of the buttons. All these plans will be
considered by the committee before final
action is taken.
Some 300 or 303 orders have already
been placed with General Summers for
single buttons. TheBe, he states, he will
now deliver If the persons ordering them
will call at his place of business.. He
will kef p a quanUty on hand and aid the
work of distributing by personal efforts.
One of the first duUes of the committee
will be arranging the buttons on cards
in half-dozen lots. On pa oh mrA -n-ni ho
a certificate by General Summers that the
buttons are manufactured or the Spanish
cannon metal, and other Instructions by
tne committee, including the statement
that the proceeds are to be devoted to
the monument fund. All correspondence
concerning the buttons should be direct
ed to Captain Wells, secretary of the com.
mlttee. In care of The Oregonian. Money
should be remitted to Captain Davis,
treasurer. Chamber of Commerce build
ing. As soon as receipts amount to any
conslderable sum they will -be turned" over
to H. W. Scott, treasurer of the monu
ment fund. Careful arrangements will
be made to see that no buttons are mis
placed and not accounted for, and also
to Insure the application of all money
received to the one purpose of erecting a
monument to the memory of the state's
soldier dead. The buttons are pretty, and
plainly show the object of their manu
facture in a neat inscription and a minute
relief of a Volunteer soldier standing at
"charge bayonet."
MOON AND VENUS TOGETHER
An-
Free CelcMtlnl Exhibition
Bounced for Tonight.
Mrs. Altman desires to call the attenUon
of the public, and especially of the puplld
of the High School, to whom she gave a
talk on the planet Venus last week, to
the fact that the moon and Venus will bo
In conjunction this evening. The proxim
ity of the crescent moon and the brilliant
Venus form a picture of rare beauty In
the western sky.
This phenomenon waa visible April 2.
when it drew forth expressions of ad
miration from all those fortunate enough
to view this celestial picture. It will oc
cur again May 31. and then It will be al
most two years before our eyes can feast
again on this Juxtaposition of our neigh
boring planet Venus and our satellite, the
moon. Venus Is coming nearer and nearer
to the earth, and will attain her greatest
brilliancy about the 1st of June.
It may surprise many to know that
Venus has the shape of a half-moon Just
now, and will shortly be but a crescent.
These phases are, however, visible only
with a telescope. This brilliant flurry will
grace the evening sky unUl June 8. and
then be morning star with an equally
beautiful luster until the end of the year.

Nothing Finer Among the "Llmlteds"
of the East Than the O. R. & N.
Co.'s iS'e-jv Train.
Nineteenth-century civilization culmi
nates In the perfecting press, the telegraph,
the ocean steamer and the limited express
train. The progress of a region or a peo
ple Is measured by Its facilities for the
diffusion of intelligence and its methods of
transportation. Judged by this standard,
no part of the United States, or of the
world, has advanced more rapidly than the
great American West.
Within the memory of men still
young, the "pony express" was the
speediest means of communication
between this more-than-lmperial re
gion and the outer world for there
was an "outer world" then and the
lumbering stage coach, the ox wagon or
tho mule train was the only mode of
travel or transportation. Twenty years
ago there was but one railroad line the
Union Pacific across the continent from
cast to west, between Alaska and Darlen.
Even 12 or 15 years ago, although more
roads had pushed their way through the
wide and savage wilderness, they wero
rough and shaky, their tracks were zlg
zaggy as old Virginia rail fences, or black
snako trails In the dog-days' dust, and
their passenger coaches were little. If any,
better than the high-grade cattle cars of
now. (
Today, the whole vast half hemisphere,
from the Mississippi to the Pacific, is
girdled with electric wire, and gridlroned
with railways that In all the essentials of
speed, safety and comfort, amounting to
luxuriousness, are unsurpassed anywhere
In the Old World or tho New. In all the
refinements of travel, the West Is fast
overhauling the boastfully fastidious East.
The famous "Limited" trains of the
Pennsylvania and New York Central com
panies have long ranked as models of
sumptuous excellence In railway equip
ment and service. They are Eastern ideas
of luxury-on-wheels. But they must now
look to their laurels. They have a rega.
rival in the new double dally flyer be
tween Portland and Chicago, via Hunt
ington, Granger and Omaha. It Is Incom
parably the finest transcontinental train
In the history of American railroading,
and, considering all the circumstances and
conditions the- vast distances, and the
wild and rugged character of a large
part of the country to be traversed it may
safely challenge comparison with the best
trains that fly between the great cities of
the Atlantic Coast. It has been christened
"The Chicago-Portland Special." but its
sponsors ought to trump the whole pack
of downeasty tram titles, "The Royal
Blue," "The Empire-State Express," "The
Fast-Flying Virginian." "The Cannon
Ball," and all the rest, with some such
nomenclarural sweepstaker as "The Royal
Chinook." or "The Imperial Columbian."
Her Royal and Imperial Majesty of Great
Britain and India never Journeyed on a
train more befitting her titular dignities.
The Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany and Its connections combine to form
and operate this magnificent annlhllator of
time and space, and they have spared no
pains or expense to enhance the comfort
of the transhemispharlc Journey, while
they diminish Its duration to the least pos
sible minimum of time- Nothing that taste
could suggest. Ingenuity devise, skill con
struct, or lavish money pay for, has been
left undone to render the flight across 2314
miles of mountain and plain a pleasure
to the most delicate and fastidious trav
eler. The whole train Is uniform In color and
style. Every car Is finished externally In
dark olive-green and gold, and on every
one Is emblazoned In goldeg characters
"Chicago-Portland Special." Next to the
mighty liO-ton locomotive come the mall,
express and baggage cars. Then follow.
In the order named, the composite or buf
fet car, the Pullman and tourl3t sleepers,
dining car. two recllnlng-chalr cars and
a day coach or smoker. All have been
designed and built expressly for this model
train, and all are models of their kind.
The buffet car Is a clear case of multum-ln-parvo,
or e plurlbus unum. on wheels,
containing a library, elegantly furnished
reading-room, writing desks, card tables,
cafe and bar, barber-shop and bathroom,
with trained attendants always at com
mand. The Pullman sleeping car Is a veri
table palace of dreams, on which cunning
artificers In brass and glass, and precious
woods and tapestries, have exhausted their
genius and skill. It Is equipped with every
modern appliance of safety and luxurious
ease that can be condensed In a miniature
palace 15 feet long, by 20 wide, and 13
high.
The ordinary or tourist sleeper Is extra
ordinary, considering the prices charged
for Its accommodations. It is In every
respect equal to the best Pullman car of a
few years ago. and a DOO-mile sleep in one
of Its snowy-linened and daintily comfort
able beds costs no more than a night's
lodging in any average provincial tavern.
The dining car Is a flying banquet hall.
equipped with every modem Improvement
and convenience to be found In a first-
class metropolitan restaurant, and serving
an epicurean menu a la carte as cheaply
as though 50 or 75 miles of glorious scen
ery were not thrown In with every meal,

as an esthetic aid to appetite and diges
tion. The chair cars are handsomely fin
ished and furnished, and offer many ad
vantages free to those who, from any
cause, declne to avail themselves ot the
sleepers. They are carpeted, brilliantly
lighted, abundantly supplied with clean
towels and other toilet accessories, and
each car Is In charge of a trained and uni
formed porter. One or two first-class day
coaches In the rear of the chair cars com
plete this paragon of cross-continent
trains.
Tho heaviest and most powerfully built
cars, like the sleepers and buffet car, are
always placed In front, and those of a
lighter construction in the rear, as a pre
caution In case of accidents where seri
ous accidents have never yet occurred.
Second-class passengers are carried at second-class
rates, but there is not a second
class car In the train. From engine to
hindmost day coach, everything is first
class of Its. kind, and Its kind is unsur
passed. It Is a solidly vestlbuled train of
flying palaces, where every man Is a sov
ereign, and every woman Is a queen, who
holds either a first- or second-class ticket.
The trip from Portland to Chicago is a
2314-mlle-Iong panorama ot all that Is
sublimes t and moat enchanting In Nature's
glorious handiwork, and the time is little
short of greased lightning. The whole
wondrous Journey of 2314 miles from the
golden slopes of the Pacific to the wind
swept shores of the Great Lakes. Is ac
complished in 72 hours and 15 minutes i
reduction of 11 hours and 15 minutes from
the fastest time ever made heretofore
and of this the actual running time Is but
a trifle over 63 hours, showing an average
speed across the hemisphere of 33 miles
an hour! The train leaving Portland at
9:15 Monday morning reaches Denver at
S:40 Wednesday morning, and Chicago av
9:30 Thursday morning. And the flyer
leaving Portland at 6:C0 Monday evening,
via Spokane, arrives In St. Paul, over the
Great Northern Railway, at 2:30 Thursday
afternoon, and In Chicago at 7:30 Friday
morning; while another section of It, via
Huntington and Omaha or Kansas City,
whirls Into Chicago In about the same time
as the shortest schedule ever attained be
fore. One-tenth of the tour around the globe
In three short, delightful days! No grand
er trip Is possible on earth, in so short a
time, surrounded by so many circum
stances of comfort merging into luxury,
and at so little cost!
J. Kato has put In an appearance as tho
owner of the store, and has sued tha
Sheriff and the iloro Mercantile Company
for $2500, the alleged value of the prop
erty seized, and $2500 damages for alleged
unlawful attachment. By the time tha
case Is tried out. it will probably be as
certained who owes the plaintiff, and
who conducts the store, and what became
of the goods sold, and all about tilings
generally. The Sheriff Is protected In tho
suit as Is usual in these cases by an in
demnity bond.

"Walla District.
S. B. Calderhead, general freight and,
passenger agent of the Washington Ss
Columbia River Railway Company, ar
rived here yesterday morning- from Waha
Walla. Mr. Calderhead says the wheat
crop In the Walla Walla district never
looked more promising, and that the
present indications point to an enormous,
yield.
"There are already," said Mr. Calder
head. q.OOO.OOO to 5,COO,000 bushels of wheat
from last year's crop lying In the ware
houses. When the new crop begins to
move what will be done with this sur
plus is a problem. The barley crop along
the Snake River Is very well advanced,
with large, full heads. Our prune and
cherry crops will be large and of flna
quality.
"Perhaps the most remarkable thing
I have heard lately. Is the Increase In
Iambs. One sheep man told me that his
increase in lambs this Sprmg was actually
IIS per cent larger than last year."
