.THE 31QBSING 0REG0KIA3T, TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 1900.
IN THE SEVERAL COURTS
ATTACHMENT OP JOHNSOJf PROP-
ERTV IS SET ASIDE.
Important Salt Hast Agraln Be
Fought in the Courts Probate
34stter Court Xotes.
Judge "Frazer yesterday -allowed the mo
tion to set aside an attachment and sale
by the Sheriff of the home place of A. H.
Johnson, deceased, on St. Clair street.
The decision was rendered In the suit of
Isam "White vs. William M. Ladd. admin
istrator of the A. H. Johnson estate. The
suit was filed on April 16, 1691, the day on
which Johnson died In California. It has
becnstubbornly contested on various legal
points, having: been to the Supreme Court
and back. The amount sued for was 517,
000. with interest, and when the decree
was rendered the full sum was $21,623, and
$1000 attorney's fees. Besides the resi
dence property, lots 7 .and 8, block 5, south
east corner of First and Taylor streets,
was attached. This was sold by the
Sheriff to the Occident Investment Com
pany for $18,000, leaving a balance of $3163
coats, attorney's fees, and Interest, to be
realized by "White from the St. Clair street
place, but, according to the present de
cision, his only hope of getting it, except
to take his chances as a general creditor
of the estate, Is to carry the case back to
the Supreme Court again. j
The controversy Just disposed of hinged
on the question of the proper or Improper
service of the attachment by the Sheriff
on April 16, 1S34. The deputy made a re
turn that he had attached all of the In
terest of Johnson In the block bounded
by Ford, St Clair and Washington streets
and" Park avenue, by serving a copy of the
writ on a Chinese. Where there Is no
personal service, the Jurisdiction of the
court depends upon the validity of the at
tachment. The law requires a writ of at
tachment 'to be served "upon an occupant
of the premises attached,, or, if no one be
found, to be posted on the property. In
an affidavit filed, the Deputy Sheriff states
ihat'he rang the front door bell, and, re
ceiving no answer, proceeded to the rear
of the house and gave the paper to a
Chinese servant. Members of the Johnson
family filed counter affidavits stating -that
they were at home that day, expecting
news from their father in California. He
was very 111, and that was the day he
passed away. They say there was no bell
6n the front door, no Qhlnese employed
about the placet buf Ta 'white man and a
whltewman were-vthere at work. It
would seem from this that the Deputy
Sheriff must have served a Chln.se some
where else on the block than that part
occupied by the Johnson residence.
The court held that the attachment on
the whole block was not good, and ought
to have been confined to the Johnson part
of it. and besides, that there was no serv
ice of the writ, the officer having probably
mistaken some other house or some ons
else's1 servant.
' The matter ot the service upon this
Chinese has been argued in the courts re
peatedly in the past six years.

United StntcH Jury Appears.
,l ,Tho jury summoned for the United
States Court appeared yesterday, and 31
answered to their names. Seven of them
were excused for various reasons satis
factory to the court, but the one whoee
request to be excused was most cheer
fully and promptly granted was a man
who said he had been attending a small
pox patient. It Is probable that If he had
.asked by mail to be excused his request
-would have been granted without demur.
"The case of Sabln, trustee, vs. Camp,
arising out of the Colby bankruptcy case,
-was set for trial yesterday, but as some
of the witnesses were not on hand the
'case was laid over until Wednesday, the
Jury being excused until that time, and the
court adjourned until this morning at 10
o'clock.

SHEEP IN THE CASCADES
Crook: County 3Iaii Think They Ixn-pro-e
the Reserve.
B. F. Allen, banker and stockman, of
Rrlnevlle, has removed to Portland with
his family, to spend the Summer. In
coming over from Crook County he drove
direct from PrineviHe to Shaniko. and
thus reduced his carriage ride from 120
miles to CO, as the new terminus is just
half way between PrineviHe and The
Dalies, the former railroad point for all
that portion of Eastern OTegon. The
stage and mall route, he says, will he
changed io Shaniko from The Dalles, on
July IS.
-Crook County sheep have been loitering
in the foothills of the. Cascades for tho
past few weeks, waiting for the 30th of
June, when the Government permitted
them to enter that portion of the moun
tains Included in the Cascade reserve.
Sheepmen expect to feed their flocks
on the reserve until October, as usual, be
cause they cannot run sheep In Crook
County unless. permitted to range In the
mountain during the Summer.
!Hr. Allea does not think sheep injure
the timber of the .mountains in the least,
and' says the opposition, to their use of
the mountain grasses emanates from
-cranks, who know nothing- about the mat
ter. Sheep only eat the grasses and trim up
the underbrush," he said; "and they never
topch a fir or timber tree. The charge
that sheep denude the forests, is, therefore,
.a false one. Sneepownera and herders are
all Interested In the preservation of forests
from fire, as the grass Is always burned up
when the timber catches. What grass
the sheep eat would be covered up with
snow in the Winter time and would do
no one any good, Jf the sheep didn't -use
It. Every old farmer knows that sheep
are useful In enriching the soil, and farm
ers often keep a band about the place for
this purpose alone. How sheep could
enrich a farm and destroy a forest I do
not know.
"The only people In Crook County who
oppose the pasturing of sheep on the re
serve are the cattlemen, whose ranches
border it on the east. Cattle could not
be kept out of the reserve unless the tract
was fenced, as they roam at will all over
the country, and do not need a herder.
Of course, there would be more grass for
cattle it the sheep were kept away, and
these cattle-owners are, therefore, excus
able for their, desire to exclude1 the sheep
from the ranges back of the cattle ranches.
If. the sheep were kept on the bunchgrass
prairies all Summer, however, it would
be worse for the cattlemen, as the Winter
cattle range would thus be eaten out. I
hope the sheepmen will not be molested in
using- the grass in the mountains that
would" otherwise go to waste."
CONGRATULATED MR. ROWE
Three Thousand People Tender Him
a Reception.
About 3000 residents gathered last even
ing at the home of Henry S. Rowe, Mayor
elect, East Side, to extend their congratu
lations, and express, their pleasure that
he has been chosen for that high office.
The affair was under the charge ot the
general committee from all the Reppblican
clubs of the East Side, although divested
of everything of a partisan, character. The
main portion of the crowd collected at
the intersection of Grand and HoHaday
avenues, where the Southern Pacific Band
rendered several selections, and then pro
ceeded to the home of Mayor-elect Rowe,
on HoHaday avenue and East Seventh
street Here the street in front of Mr.
Rowe's house was packed with people,
while the side street And vacant grounds
across HoHaday avenue were also well
occupied. There was a' constant discharge
of anvils as the procession, headed by the
Southern Pacific Band, marched to the
house. Mr. Rowe "stood on the front
porch of his home, which was Illuminated
In front with Chinese lanterns, and all
the rooms were also lighted.
'There wns then a steady stream of resi
dents pareing up the steps, and every one
received a hearty greeting and grasp .of the
hand by Mr. Rowe. "EvtTy portion of
the city was represented, and many of the
prominent men came to pay th;ir respects,
and all were received with easy grace by
the "incoming Mayor. Tor half an'bour
Mr. Rowe grasped the hands of the people
as they came up on the rront porch. After
more music by the band. General Charles
F. Beebe stepped forward and addressed
Mayor-elect Rowe In tones loud -enough
to be heard by the entire crowd. H said
in substance:
General Becbe'i Remarks.
"Mr. Rowe, it affords me great pleas
ure and profound satisfaction to be able
on this occasion to extend to you the
congratulations of your neighbors on your
election as Mayor of the City of Port
land. You have Just passed through an
arduous campaign, but through it all your
methods have been characterized by the
utmost dignity and courtesy. Tour public
utterances have all been such as to meet
the -approval -of all lovers of good govern
ment. 5o the people are to be congratu
lated that the City of Portland, the im
perial city of the Northwest, is to be under
the direction of so capable a man, and
that the government and its responsibili
ties are to pass Into particularly strong
hands. Mr. Rowe, I congratulate you in
the name of the people, and express to
you the satisfaction we feel over your
election ta the high office of the city."
General Beebe then grasped the hand of
the incoming Mayor, amid much applause.
Mr. Rowe stepped forward and said:
Mayor-elect Rottc's Response.
"Neighbors and Friends: I feel grati
fied at the present of this vast assemblage
here tonight, and yet I do not -think you
have come to honor my personality, but
the high office to which I have been
chosen. As I have said before during the
campaign. I promise to use my best en
deavors to give the City ot Portland a
clean, economical and -vigorous adminis
tration. In the appointment to the com
missions, I shall try and select men whose
business Interests are suoh that they can
serve the city well and faithfully. In
particular, this shall be my policy in
making appointments to the Board of
Public Works. I think I can find such
men. Now, I am not an orator to enter
tain such an audience, and I shall ask
Judge Bellinger to do this for me. I
thank you."
Rentnrks by Judge Bellinger.
Judge Bellinger, of the United States
Court, made a few remarks to the crowd,
saying:
"I do not think our friend, Mr. Rowe.
soon to become Mayor In fact, needs any
help along this line, for he has spoken
clearly and well. He Is an unostentatious
man, and I have high hopis that he will
give the City of Portland a good adminis
tration, and as free from partisanship as
he can. I have been acquainted with Mr.
Rowe--for the past 20 years, and. In com
mon with his neighbor, feel a pride in his
election to the office of Major, which is
certainly the most Important In the gift
of the people. We of HoHaday Addition
feel specially elated over Mr. Rowe's
election, and If you have any more offices
of the same nature, Holladays Addition
can fill them all."
At the close of Judge Bellinger's remarks
three rousing cheers Were given for Mayor
elect Rowe. and the crowd gradually dis
persed. PLEASING DRAMA.
Clny Clement Greeted by Large Au
diences at Cordrny's.
That Clay Clement, Ws charming wife
and I. R. Stockwell have hosts of ad
mirers In Portland was evidenced by the
large house that witnessed their artistic
performance of "The New Dominion" at
Cordray's Theater last night. In his won
derful creation of the character of Hohen
stauffen. Mr. Clement has won an envia
ble namo for himself in the ranks of
American actors, and when, as at present,
ho unites strong support with his own tal
ent, he gives a production that is worthy
of any actor In the land. The company
is one of the strongest that Mr., Clement
has gathered to his support, and it de
serves that support it Is receiving. Nu
merous reservations have been made, both
for "The New Dominion" and for "A
Southern Gentleman,' which will be given
later in the week, and there is no doubt
that the hou; will be crowded during the
entire engagement.

GOV. STEUNENBERG HERE
MAX WHO PUT DOWK THE LAROR
RIOTS IX IDAHO.
Elated Over Indorsement at Levrls
ton Predicts Fusion and Victory
, la His State This Year.
Frank Steunenberg. the Jron-nerved Gov
ernor of Idaho, was in Portland yester
day, on his way home from the ttewlston
convention. He was looking welL and
said that he never felt better in his life.
The action of tho convention in indorsing
his administration, in the face of strong
opposition from Shoshone County, partic
ularly pleased the Governor. He looks
upon that as one ot the strongest Indorse
ments he ever had. coming as It did.
The Lewlston convention was purely for
the purpose of naming; delegates to the
National Democratic Convention at Kan
sas City, and there were no state matters
to come up at this convention. There
were two delegations there, how ever, from
Shoshone County. One ot them was
known as the "law-and-order" delegation;
the other was the one sent regularly
from that turbulent county, and It was on
the seating of the delegation that the fight
came about. At once every issue that
will be In the ccmhig state campaign in
Idaho jumped to the front. When a vote
was taken the ''law-and-order" men were
seated by a two-to-one vote, and"Oovernor
Steunenberg and his administration were
Indorsed.
This whole trouble, like many others
Idaho has had In the past few years,
originated In the mining district In Sho
shone County. JVr-en that county held
Its regular Democratic convention to nom
inate delegates to the Lewiston conven
tion, it developed that certain precincts
had sent two delegations. Both claimed
to be the regular delegat'on. Friends of
the "law-and-order" Towd proposed that
neither be seated urdll a committee on
credentials had passed upon them. The
chairman of the convention declared the
"antl-law-and-order" men seated, and the
"law-and-order" delegation withdrew. This
sent the two delegations to Lewiston from
Shoshone County, and the result there
showed how the Democrats of the state
stood on the administration, so the Gov
ernor thinks.
If the state stands by the action of the
Lewiston convention n this particular,
there is little doubt that Governor Steun
enberg will be renominated at the coming
state convention, which meets In Foca
tello, July 17. The Governor says there
are others who are willing to undertake
the many duties that fall upon the shoul
ders of the Governor of his state. He
does not pretend to be the only thing in
the state, and refused to even guess who
the nominee would be; but there was a
look In his eye that indicated that he was
not In the least alarmed. He may have
got In the habit of looking that way during
the fight with the miners last year, and
just cannot help looking so, no matter
how he feels. According to his view of
the case, there were times during that
great mining row when the man who
showed signs of fear was lost,
"Yes, that was a rather warm fight,"
said he, when the Waraner troubles were
referred to. "It was one that took a good
dal of firmness to win. I saw at the
slant that any signs of wavering would
be fatal. It was along these lines that
the fight was made and won, and I think
it was a victory that will be of great value
to the state. Already numerous signs
may be seen to prove mat. New mines
are being opened, new capital is coming
In, and there is an air of prosperity in
the entire mining district. All of the old
mines are going on full time, and the
working people ot every class are busy.
There are at least $100,000 worth of brick
buildings going up at Wallace. I doubt
if $10,000 was spent there In building In
toe past eight years prior to this.
"The Standard Mining Company has Just
ceropleted the purchase of the Alice.
T.itce months ago this was only a pros
rect heir. Now It goes at $200,000. and
there are many other such evidences of
prosperity.
Were Not Americans.
"Tli secton In which the trouble oc
curred 1-ad become absolutely un-American."
he continued. "It was dominated
by a forciyn lot of anarchists, and the
ontlro ccmmi nlty hed become subservient
to them. They owned the offices and the
officers, and dictated to them at will.
There were good people In that part of
the country who deplored the conditions;
but they could do nothing. They Knew
that it meant a black list for then: and
possibly a stick of dynamite under tbeir
houses at night If they offered -any inter
ference. These good men. advised me not
to undertake the fight against, the min
ers. They declared it would do no good,
as It could only rii.t in a temporary
victory, and might make matters worre
in the long run.
"To 'go up against a crowd like that
was, backed by Ihe Sheriff and other
strong people of the community, and with
the best people, who really opposed the
anarchists, afraid to come out and take
sides, made It a difficult job to handle.
Conditions are rapidly Improving there
now, hut It will take 10 years to get the
true American spirit back Into that local
ity, as It was before anarchy drove It out.
The Permit System.
"You hear a great deal about the state
permit system In Idaho. Well, that Is
doing more to Americanize the trouble
some district than any other one thing. It
is compelling the anarchists - and cut
throats to seek other quarters, no matter
what is said atout it. The state bow has
PRAXK STEUNEXBERG, GOVERNOR OF IDAHO.
a blick list, and tho miners are compelled
to ask the state for a permit bef ore they
can obtain employment fn tho mine. The
mlneowners have no black lists, and do
not want any. In fact, .hey were going
ahead employing the same men who had
helped to blow up their neighbor's mines
only a 'short time ago. until the state
stopped them from It.
"We do not propose- to have a recur
rence of those troubles In Idaho, and the
only way to avoid It is t& get rid of the
element that was responsible for it- And
they are going, too. k In fact, most of
them are gone now, and the rest will go,
for there Is no work for them in our state.
Of course, the walking boss and the agita-
tors are still there, tut they do not work.
'.We have do way, thcrerore, ot getting rid
of them, so long as we are unable to
starve them out. So long as they do not
have to ask for a prmft to work, we
must tolerate them, and they are not like
ly to ask for anything that looks like
. work."
There "Will Be Fusion.
Governor Steunenberg, while refusing1 to
nominee for Governor, does not hesitate
to say that the Democrats and Populists
will fuse again, and that they will carry
the state by a safe majority. He evi
dently thinks that the Wardner troubles
will cut little figure in the coming election.
In fact, he seems to think that the out
come of that trouble will help his party
more thrn It will hurt it.
He says that Bryan wiil be nominated
, ana win carry loano witnout any great
effort, and that all of the rest of the Dem
ocratic ticket will go along with the
Bryan rart of It.
In speaking of Boise, .Governor Steunen
berg declared that its future prospects
are very bright. He say3 that the rail
road from Butte to Boise is now under
course of construction, and that CO) men
are at work on the grading, which Ls going
steadily on a short way out from Boise.

MORE NEW. CREAMERIES
"WILLAMETTE FARMERS SELL
THEIR MILK FRESH.
Butter From Marlon, Linn. and. Lane
Counties Finding Market In Se
attle and San Francisco.
A report recently made of the growth
of the- dairying Industry in Western Ore
gon shows that nowhere has there been
such progreijs made In the manufacture
of butter and cheese during the last three
months as in the Willamette Valley, par
ticularly in Marion and Linn Counties.
The increase is most perceptible In the
two counties above-named, where the to
tal amount of creamery butter manufac
tured dur-ng the month of May, 1SO0, was
55,000 pounds, while in March of this year
only 18,000 pounds were made.
This remarkable Increase of over 200
per cent is due to the establishment of
new creameries at Salem, Brownille and
Marion, and skimming stations at Tan
gent and Stayton, the former in connection-
with the Albany creamery and the
latter In connection with the Plalnvlew
creamery, all of which are now In opera
tion. About 15,000 pounds of cheese was made
during the month of May by the fac
tories at Scio, Lebanon and Foster, while
probably not more than 2000 pounds were
manufactured In March last.
Tho Townsend Creamery Company
opened its plant at Salem on April 9. Six
cream routes, over which teams are sent
dally to gather the cream, were estab
lished, leading out of Salem In various
directions; one south toward Jefferson;
two near Aumsville, collecting cream for
shipment from Turner; one north along
tho Willamette River In Polk County;'
another on tho opposite side of the rier
in Marion County and stHl. another out
toward Macleay through Howell Prairie,

Albany's co-operative creamery, man
aged by Mr. E. J. Seeley. is second to
none in the Valley. With the putting in

Effort to Further Extend Rural De
livery Other Matters.
" GRESHAM. Or.. June U. Since this
place has made such an apparently suc
cessful effort to get free mall delivery,
there has been put on foot a further effort
to extend the service over the entire sec
tion from Mount Tabor to Hurlburt and
vicinity. E. B. Williams, who owns a large
farm about three miles east of here, has
been In communication with Representa
tive Moody, and has received the follow
ing, which shows that success is almost in
sight: r
"I have secured an order from the First
Assistant Postmaster-General directing
the special agent for free rural delivery
service, who Is now in Oregon, to investi
gate a route which will supply Russell
vllle, Rockwood. Gresham, Powell's Val
ley. Terry and Hurlburt. or the citizens
patronizing hose offices, by the free rural
plan, and I have asked that the special
agent be directed to call upon you to be
shown over tfee proposed route, and to be
Instructed regarding the people to be sup
plied. If you regard this system as a bet
ter one than the one now enjoyed. I hope
you may succeed In Impressing the spe
cial agent favorably upon the proposition.
I will have forwarded to your address a
pamphlet showing the requirements as
well as the duty pf the department when
such service is established."
If this effort should succeed, it would
nullify the work done at Gresham, yet
this place would be Included in the greater
plan. It Is now vef probable that the
Gresham movement will be held In abey
anco until more Is knwn concerning the
success of Mr. Williams' plans.
Began His Gent met.
E. G. RIcke-t has begun his contract of
carrying the malls between Terry and
Hurlburt, making three round trips a
week. Some o the Hurlburt mail still
goes to Rockwod. and Mr. Rlckert has
to make a sped I trip to that place for It
once a week. So far he has not been
called upon to de lver mat? at any private
box, but he can lea to and from Gage
postofflce, although not required to do so
by his contract. Considerable mall is di
rected to Sweetbrier, .wblch ls on his
route, but as It is i it an oVfidal office, no
one can handle It. and the supposition
of Postmaster Kenne r. of Terry, is that It
Is being held in th' Portland office or
being sent to the dea -letter office.
Brief Xote.

EAST SIDE AFFAIRS.
Boy Preacher to Speak Tonight
Other Matters.
Jack Cook, the boy preacher from Eng
land, will open tent meetings this even
ing, under the auspices of the Second
Baptist Church, In a bhr tabernacle on the
corner of East Tenth andEast Everett
streets. Rev. Ray Palmer will assist at
the meetings. It was found impossible to
secure a tent .from, any of the dealers
largo enough for the meeting, so Presi
dent H. W. Decker, oZ tho Seventh Day
Adventtsts, donated the use ot his big
tent, and yesterday h set it up. It is
120x70 feet, and will accommodate 1500
people. It will bo provided with a plat
form and benches, ami be all ready for
the opening this evening.
Jack Cook, the preacher, a boy of 13
years of age, will arrive this morning
with his father and brother, J. Hayden
Cook and Henry Cook. Christopher Mitch
ell, an evangelist who Is traveling with
the boy preacher, has already arrived,
and is looking after the arrangemente
for the meeting. He says that the boy is
a wonder, and attracts great audiences
wherever he. goes. Jack Cook was con
verted when' ho wns 9 years old, and
began preaching then and there. He only
had a year and a half schooling, and has
never read any other book than the Bible.
He Is entirely undenominational, and
does not dlecues doctr.nes. His methods
are different from thoso of other evangel
ists. He gives half an hour at the open
ing to answering questions, and then be
gins his sermon. He never selects his
text, but leavce that to the congregation.
He never prepares a sermon, but speaks
from the text eelected for him by his
audience. He has been In this country
since March,' constantly speaking in
churches and at campmeetings. The last
meeting wao held at Spokane. Arrange
ments have been made so that the tent
may be enlarged if more room ls required.
The services- will open this evening at
7:).
Want Railway Extended to Gresham.
-Tho Montavilla branch of the. City &
Suburban Railway will be extended over
to the Base Line road from North Mon
tavilla as soon as the work can be got
to. and tiat wiU not be very long now.
This will be of great advantage to the
residents on the Base Line road. There
is a movement on foot to get the railway
extended to Gresham. Leander Lewis, a
prominent resident of Ruesellville, has
been inquiring as. to what aid might be ex
pected from farmers, and he said yester
day that the right of way can be secured
through to Gresham on one side of tho
Base Line road, oe far as the farmers are
concerned. .He has been making exten
sive inquiries, and has yet to find any
one with whom he has talked who would
oppose granting- a franchise to a railway
company which will build to Gresham.
Mr. Lewis thinks that If a concerted effort
could be made at Gresham in the way of
(l public meeting much could be ac
compl'shed. A public meeting at Gresham
of the farmers would put the whole mat
ter In shape for the movement, and be
fore long something of the sort may re
sult. East Tiventy-Elffhth Street.
It is expected that East Twenty-eighth
street will bo Improved fromthe Base
Line to the Sandy road .as soon as., the
preliminaries have been carried through
the Council. It Is very necessary that
the street be Improved as soon as possi
ble so that a water main may be laid at
once. The committee will not lay mains
on unimproved streets. Already, on East
Twenty-eighth street, work has been
commenced on five dwellings, and these
besides the big factory will want water.
A weU has been sunk on the factory
grounds, but when it comes to furnish
ing water for 200 men besides what Id
consumed by the boiler, this sort of a
supply will be limited. When East Twenty-eighth
street ifl graded a main will
be put down, but not before. Also the
City & Suburban will build a spur on
that street to the Sandy road when the
Improvement has been made.
Threatened "With Paralysis.
T. A. Davey, a well-known citizen of the
East Side, living on the corner of East
Seventh and East Sherman streets, was
attacked with a slight stroke of paralysis
Saturday, but Is now improving. He was
one of the Judges at Gruner'fl Hall at
the election, and the long strain may have
been too severe. He was able to be about
yesterday, and his family hope that he
will soon be fully restored.
Mount Tabor School Board Meeting
There will be a meeting of the Direct
ors of Mount Tabor district. No. 5, to
morrow evening for the transaction ot
general business connected with the clos
ing of the school year. On that occasion
the Board may reach the election of
teachers, but of this there is nothing defi
nite, and the election may be passed over
for the present. It is not expected that
there will be any changes in the present
corps of teachers.
Enst Side Notes.
The lecture-room In the basement of the
Third Presbyterian Church Is to be thor
oughly overhauled. When the repairs
ehall have been completed It will be used
as a Sunday school-room.
Rev. J. J. Walter will etart back to
Skagway the latter part of the month,
and hopes that Bishop McCabe will ac
company him to dedicate the McCabe
College, which ls now nearing completion.
Tho dedication will take place some time
In July. Mrs. Walter, who Is now Improv
ing In health, will likely return to Alaska
with him.
Dr. Wise will return from Tillamook on
