ONE PAIR BEATS ACE HIGH
"MACK AND SHOWERS ARE THE
COUNTY BOARD.
Jndjgre Cake Is the Minority Mem-
her of County Commissioners,
"Without Much Patronage.
County Commissioners Showers and
Mack care on top so far as the control of
4.he Commissioners Court Is concerned,
and Judge Cake will pose as the minority
jnember. The four Judges of the State
Circuit Court yesterday rendered a
supplemental opinion, the effect of
which " is that the provision of
the "new Commissioners' act that
the" Commissioners shall meet at the
"call of the County Judge," when con
strued in connection with other statutes
which are In force, does not amount to
anything, and that the Commissioners can
meet at regular term, times, and upon
such, other occasions .as they may desig
nate, with or without the approval of the
County Judge. The law of 1S98 provides
that two Commissioners shall constitute
a quorum.
It is stated that the Clerk of the County
Court will not recognize any order re
lating to county oueiness, unless the same
is 6lgned or approved by at least two
members of the court. If this course is
pursued, Individual orders Issued in
chambers by the County Judge, where
they pertain to county affairs, will not be
recorded. Two members of the board can
outvote one, and if Messrs, Showers and
Mack choose to act together Judge Cake
is. shorn of all power.
-It was currently reported yesterday that
Judge Cake had expressed himself that he
thought he was entitled to a share of the
patronage of the office, such as the ap
pointment of bridge tenders, the sunertn
fendent of the poor farm. County Physi
cian, etc., but that the Commissioners re
fused to give him any encouragement In
that -direction. Commissioner Mack is
credited with having stated that matters
of that kind -when brought up In the reg
ular manner at any meeting would receive
.proper consideration. Further that the
Judge could not make an agreement with
them for a division of the patronage as
a prerequisite that he would meet with
them, and also that the Commissioners did
not care a continental whether he met
with them or not.
The supplemental opinion delivered by
the Circuit Court here- referred to in
volved the legality of the call Issued hy
Judge Cake some time ago, which the
Commissioners declined to obey.
Counsel for Mack and Showers argued
that the call -was not made for a regular
term of court, and did not specify the par
ticular "business to he transacted, as it
should have done.
The Court in its decision said:
In the opinion delivered by Judge George oa
the decision of the court on the demurrer to
the Information in the -above-entitled case, the
question raised by counsel Xor defendants as
to the legality jor the cb.ll Issued by the Coun
ts' Judge was -not discussed. This question,
however, was fully presented at the argument,
and was .considered and determined by the
court. And, Inasmuch as the question in all
probability -will frequently arise in the pro
ceedings of the County Court and cause more
or Jess trouble until finally determined, it is
thought .advisable that a supplemental opinion
covering the point be filed,
The question involves the construction of sec
tion of the act of March 1, 1901, which reads"
as follows:
"Sec 4. .The said County Commissioners
and their .successors In office shall 'meet with
the County Judge for the transaction of coun
ty business -&t the call of the County Judge,
and thai sad Commissioners and their suc
cessors in office shall receive ?3 per diem for
their services."
Section 2335 of Hill's Annotated Laws of
Oregon, as amended by the last legislature,
provides that there shall be a. term of the,
Qounty Court Xor the transaction of counts'
business held in Multnomah County on the
first Wednesday in each month. The same sec
tion further provides:
."Such Commissioners' court shall convene, at
30 o'clock on the days named, and shall be
conducted by the County Judge and the County
Commissioners."
Section 890 of Hill'-a Code provides:
""The County Court is held at such times as
may be appointed by law,and at such other
times as the court in term, or the County
Judge in vacation, may appoint. In like man
ner and with like effect as the Circuit Court
or Judge thereof Is authorised by section 891."
Section 891 provides that -where a special
term at the Circuit Court Is appointed by an
order made in vacation, the order shall specify
what particular business Is to be transacted.
and onlyTuch as may be specified in the order
shall be transacted at such special time.
The three sections of the law last referred
to are .still in Xorce, unless they are implicitly
ropcaied-by section. 4 of the act of 1901.
Ht Is difficult to determine what the Legisla
ture meant by saying that the Commissioners
should meet "at the call of the County
Judge"; but we think It would be going very
far to say that they meant to repeal the
other sections of the law providing for the
time and manner of holding terms of the
County Court. Repeals by implication are not
favored; and It ia the duty of the courts where
different laws seem to conflict to adopt such a
construction as shall give effect to all of them
If it can be fairly and reasonably done. Es
pecially is this trufe when there is a seeming
conflict between different laws passed by the
same session of the Legislature, as in this
case.
We think It was not Intended by the Legis
lature In enacting sectipn 4 of the act of
March 1 to repeal or modify these other sec
tions of the law, so as to do away with the
terms of the court fixed by law or appoint
ment of the court.
Under such a construction of the law the
County Judge might call the Corbmlssioners
to meet once a day, or once a year, or not at
all; he could call them to meet at the Court
house today and at Troutdale or some other
distant point tomorrow. It Is much more rea
sonable to assume that the Legislature, In
using the word "call." meant the call or ap
pointment of special terms which the County
Judge was already authorized to make. This
construction would leave in force the provision
of the law fixing regular terms of the court,
and also that part of the law which author
izes the court, as distinguished from the
Judge, in term time, to appoint a special term.
We are of the opinion, however, that the law
of March 1. 1901, was Intended to and does
make It unnecessary for the County Judge to
specify In his call the particular business to
be transacted at the term called. It appears
that the law gives him full power, without re
striction, to call terms of the County Court at
times other than those fixed by law for the
regular terms or fixed by the court in term
time. The call In this case was, therefore,
sufficient.
The feature of this decision in favor of
.Commissioners Showers and Mack is that

they meet according to law on the first
Wednesday of' each month, without any
call, and that "the court," as distin
guished from the "County Judge," may in
term time aDDolnt a special term. The
Commissioners can therefore adjourn from
day to day, or from one week to another,
and thus regulate their own meetings.
Judge Cake can also Issue calls, and, if
so, the Commissioners -would respond.
Commissioners Mack and Showers met
with Judge Cake In his chambers yester
day morning and had a long discussion
over county affairs. There -was no call
for the meeting, the Commissioners mere
ly waiting upon the Judge and signifying
that they were ready to do business.
Everything was harmonious, and it is
probable that there will be no friction be
tween them. The' question of readvertis
ing for bids for supplies and make the
advertisements more specific as to kind,
quality or brand of goods wanted was
talked over.
Judge Cake and Commissioner Showers
held a meeting In the afternoon. Mr.
Mack was prevented from being present
on account of other engagements.
Porto Rican Emigration.
Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
The overcrowded population of Porto
Rico is finding a refuge in another of
Uncle Sam's island possessions, and ex
peditions of Porto Ricans to Hawaii are
being successfully formed by the Gov
ernment authorities of the two countries.
It is now declared that fully 3000 Porto
Rlcans, a majority of whom are women,
have gone to Hawaii, where conditions are
favorable to their peaceful assimilation
with the Hawaiian people. One of the
problems that has presented itself in the
development of Hawaii is thus solved,
while the overcrowded condition of the
Porto Rican population is relieved. The
situation In Porto Rico Is vastly im
proved over what It was six months
ago, and 3lh judicious management In
providing for the emigration to a con
genial climate of Its surplus population
the chances for still further improve
ment rf the general condition of the Is
land, are good.

gallon and a. half In 1S92 to a gallon In
1S36, and rose to a little over a gallon and
a quarter last year. The per capita con
sumption of wine decreased from nearly
half a gallon in 1892 to Just over a quarter
of a gallon In 1i96, but beer showed a
very slight reduction, from 15.17 gallons in
1S92 to 14.94 in 1S97; it is now Just over IS
gallons, and the consumption of wine is
nearly back -to the point where it was in 4
1892. During the depression many men
probably Teduced their use of beer, but
others substituted beer for whisky and
wine. The total amount paid by the Na
tion for alcoholic drinks is, of course,
vastly more than the sum paid for nonalcoholic-drinks,
but this is due in great
measure to the high taxation of spirits.
The American Grocer has estimated tha
amount of tea and coffee consumed in the
form of beverage and finds that the con
sumption last year of coffee was a trlUe
over" a billion, and a quarter gallons, of
beer less than a billion and .a quarter, of
tea considerably less than half a billion
gallons, and of spirits and wines 112.OCO.000
gallons.
