Been Accomplished.
VANCOUVER, "Wash., Dec. SL Never
la the history of Clark County were the
evidences of general prosperity more ap
parent, notwithstanding the fact that for
two years the prune crop, which consti
tutes the chief revenue-producing Indus
try of a large proportion of the popula
tion, was almost a failure. The tax
rolls this year show the smallest delin
quent Hsf In the history of the county.
A greater number of real estate transfers
have been made in the past year than in
any one of 10 prior years. The cancella
tions of mortgages have been more
numerous than for years past. The cen
sus shows an increase in the county of
1400 in population, while the- Increase In
this city is only about 400. Two new
cheese factories have been set in opera
tion within the year. Among improve
ments in this city are the new pavement
on Main street, the rebuilding of side
walks and crosswalks, the construction
of seven new business houses, including
one fine brick block, and numerous dwell
ings. In addition to this a number of
the merchants- of the town have found It
necessary to double the capacity of their
stores to accommodate the increased de

ESTATES BY ENTIRETIES
POWER OF WIFE ALONE TO CON
VEY HER INTEREST.
Oregon Supreme Court Holds She
Has Such. Power Klamath, Connty
Case DecidedReversals.
SALEM, Dec. 3L The power of the wife
to convey an estate by entirety without
the assent of her husband was asserted
by the Supreme Court today in "deciding
the case of LIhnle J. Howell, appellant,
vs. Maggie Folsom and George W. Put
nam, respondents, from Marion County,
R. P. Boise, Judge. The lower court
decided the case adversely to the power
of the wife to convey an estate by en
tirety without the assent of the husband,
and this decision Is reversed in an opin
ion written by Chief Justice Bean. As
the status Of estates hy entirety in Ore
gon has always been the subject of great
difference of opinion, this decision will
settle an interesting question.
On November 21, 1895, the defendant,
Maggie Folsom, being the owner, with
her husband, of an estate by the en
tirety in lots 3 and 4, block B, in Simp
son's addition to Salem, mortgaged the
same to plaintiff to secure the loan of
$350; and, the husband having subsequent
ly died, this suit was instituted to fore
close the mortgage. The trial court held
the mortgage void because the husband
did not Join in Its execution, and the
plaintiff appealed. The Supreme Court
says:
. "It is argued in support of the de
cree of the courf below that neither
spouse can convoy an estate by entirety
without the assent of the other, and,
therefore, the mortgage pousht to be fore
closed Is void, even as against tho mort
gagor. It Is often said In judicial opin
ions that, at common law. under a con
veyance of real property to lusoand and
wife, both are seized of the entlruty, and
neither can alienate or dispose of any
part of the estate without the consent
of the other. It Is believed, however,
this means that 'one cannot sever the In
terest or make any disposition of the
estate so as to affect the right of sur
vivorship.' According to the great weight
of authority at common law, a convey
ance of the estate by the husband during
the lifetime of the wife is valid as against
him, and vests the fee In the purchaser
in case the husband survive the wire.
Mr. Tiedeman thus states the rule: 'Dur
ing coverture the husband has entire con
trol of the estate, may convey it away,
and It Is liable to be sold under execu
tion for his debts. If the husband sur
vives the wife, this conveyance of It to a
stranger will be as absolute as If the es
tate had been one In severalty. But it
the wife survives the husband, she ac
qulrles, by right of survivorship, the en
tiro interest in the land, and is entitled
to her proper action for the recovery of
possession.' And Mr. Washburn says: 'If
the husband convey the entire estate dur
ing coverture, and dies, his conveyance
will not have affected her rights of sur
vivorship to the entire estate. But if in
such case the husband survive, his con
veyance becomes as effective to pass the
whole estate as it would have been had
the husband been sole seized 'when he
conveyed it' . . .
"As our statute has given tha wife
power and authority to sell and convey
her property 'to he same extent and in
the same manner that her husband can
property belonging to him' (Session Laws
of 1893, page 170, amending section 2992 of
Hill's Code), we think It clear she may
convey an estate by the entirety with
like effect as her husband. The right at
common law of the husband during cover
ture to the control and usufruct of the
land, and the Inability of the wife to con
vey without her husband Joining In the
deed, were not incidents of such an estate,
but of the marital rights and disabilities
which have been removed and enlarged by
modern legislation. The courts of other
states have held that under acts relat
ing to married women, of similar Import
to ours, the wife Is entitled to the same
use and benefit of an estate by the en
tirety as the husband, and has the same
power of alienation. . . .
"It was suggested at the argument that
under section 3003, Hill's Annotated Laws
of Oregon, a married woman cannot con
vey her real property without her hus
band Joining in the deed. But that sec
tion has been modified or amended by
subsequent legislation (Session Laws of
1893, page 170), and she may now sell or
convey her property by her sole deed."
George A. Durkee, respondent, vs. Jesse
D. Carr, appellant, from Klamath Coun
ty; Henry L. Benson, Judge; reversed;
opinion by Justice Moore.
This was an action to recover damaires
tor the breach of an alleged contract
The principal question aroso upon the In
troduction In evidence of the lease exe
cuted by the agent of the lessor. It was
claimed that the authority of the agent
to make the agreement had not been
shown, and hence the lease was not prop
erly admitted. The Supreme Court takes
this view, and In reversing the lower court
lays down this rule regarding the scope
of an agent's authority: "Every grant of
power by a principal to his agent, where
no limitations are apparent, Is to be con
strued as carrying with It as an Incident
thereto Ihe authority to do all things
proper, usual, necessary and reasonable
to carry into effect tho objects and pur
poses sought to be accomplished by the
authority conferred." The court holds
that it was not shown that the agree
ment in this case came within the rule.
Another question to the same point arose
on the court's instruction that in making
the lease the agent had authority to do
"whatever was necessary to accomplish
that object." The Supreme Court holds
that this Is also erroneous, "because the
court extended the agent's authority to
whatever was necessary when It should
have limited such authority to thta which
is 'proper, usual and reasonable,' as well
as necessary." Applying the rule to the
case at bar, the court says: "Fertile soil,
balmy air and genial sunshine are great
factors in producing and maturing suc
cessful crops, to accomplish which In the
arid region water is necessary for irri
gation. But the cost of securing It for
that purpose may be so great as to ren
der Its use neither proper, usual nor rea
sonable." Other questions arose as to the suffi
ciency of the complaint, but the court
holds tho complaint sufficient, especially
after answering over.
HEAVY SALES OF WHEAT.
Palonse Farmers Rush the Market
Before New Year.
COLFAX, Wash., Dec ZL There has
been great activity In the wheat market
here during the past few days, and con
siderable wheat has changed hands at
40 cents per bushel, an advance of 2
cents over the prevailing price for the
past two months. Saturday here was a
rush to Sell, and fully 150,000 bushels
changed hands In, Whitman County. Two
Colfax dealers bought 75,000 bushels, of
which 10,000 bushels were In Pullman and
the remaining 65,000 bushels in Colfax.
The farmers were anxious to sell before
the end of the year, as the warehouses
charge storage on all grain remaining In
the warehouse on January L There is
little prospect of an Immediate advance,
and farmers prefer to sell rather than
pay storage and take chances of an ad
vance In prices.
Fully 75 per cent of the crop of 1900
has been sold, a condition seldom If ever
known at this season of the year. The
average price paid for this wheat is es
timated at 40 cents per bushel, sacked In
tho warehouse. Tho next rush to sell
will be In the latter part of February,
as taxes will bo charged on all wheat
held on March 2.

At 3 o'clock Gougoltz was in the lead,
with McEachern second, Kaser trird,
Stlnson fourth and McLean fifth. The
score at the end of an hour and a half
was 35 miles, 7 laps. At 3:33, while the
riders were bunched, Kaser's wheel slipped
and he fell, with the pther riders spilled
on top of him. He was carried from the
track. The other riders scarcely returned
to the track, when Frederick, Ryser, Mil
ler and Fischer went down In a heap and
were removed from the track. Just after
the second accident, McLean ran into a I
post and was considerably injured. At 4:40 J
P. M. Downey fell and was carried from j

to chanso wheels, losing two laps. At
10:50 Mr. Moore said to the crowd that
the laps lost by Walthour on account of
