and Jessie K. Hill, "was dismissed accord
ing to the terms--of.-a- stipulation filed In
the State 3rcuit Court yesterday, and a
case pending- In the Supreme Court Is
to be disposed of In the same manner.
The ground comprises two lots at Twenty-fourth
and Marshall streets, and yes
terday a deed from Mrs. M. M. Baker,
wife of"Xydell Baker, to Mrs. J. TV. HIH,
for an adjoining lot, was filed for record.
The work of. construction on the new
academy building will .now be pushed to
completion free from all obstacles.
The trouble begun two months ago.
when Dr. Hill, who had decided to leave
Bishop Scott Academy and found a mili
tary educational Institution of his own,
took" the preliminary steps to carry out
his project. There were two lots on
Twenty-fourth and Marshall streets be
longing to George S. Adams, Mrs. Hill's
father, and Mrs. Hill. commenced proceed
ings to .secure he equity title held, by
B, I. Sabin, assignee for Dr. Hill, which
the court approved.
Residents In the vicinity of the pro
posed school objected to having it situ
ated near their houses, and finally a pe
tition was filed by a certain number of
creditors of Dr. Hilt asking the court to
refuse to confirm the order granting As
signee Sabin permission to sell the equity
Interest in the lots to Mrs. am, out
Judge Cleland declined to interfere. The
creditors appealed to the Supreme Court.
In the meantime, other creditors were
Induced to bring suit against the Hills,
alleging that the mortgage made by Dr.
K3I and Jus wife to George S. Adams, of
the two lots mentioned, was fraudulent;
that the deed Mr. Sabin made was pro
cured by misrepresentation. It was asked
that the conveyances be set aside, the
mortgage canceled, and Mrs. Hill .held
as trustee for the creditors under her
deed from, Sabin.
By the stipulation which has been
agreed upon, both cases will be dismissed;
the mortgage will be declared valid and
made for a valuable consideration, with
out Intent to hinder the creditors; that the
deed was secured from Sabin in the or
dinary course of business without fraud,
and that the consideration paid was all
that the claim was worth, and, lastly,
that there are no equities in favor of the
plaintiffs.
Attorney A. F. Flegel, who represents
Dr. Hill, states that there will be no fur
ther trouble. The litigation did not Inter

building, as contractors have been at
work for some time past.
a decade past will concede the truth of
the proposition.
Warehouse charges, insurance, Interest
on the money presented by the market
price at the season Just following har
vesting of wheat or the shearing of wool,
add them to the market price at the time
mentioned. Can any one deny that sel
dom, almost never, is the value at .the
time of the future sale equal to the sea
sonable price plus threo charges?
The situation of the wool men at The
Dalles is illustrative. One year ago buy
ers offered good prices for wool. At The
Dalles few sold. The warehouses re
mained full, and were full when the pres
ent season opened. The "Other day 150.
000 pounds, the product of no more than
15,030 sheep, were sold at The Dalles,
and the Dally Chronicle of that town as
serts that this was the only sale of any
Importance that has taken place there
for several months- past.
The price was considerably less than the
same wool would have brought a year ago.
Indeed, the same wool could have been
contracted at higher figures before it was
removed from the sheeps' backs.
It. is on record, that one Umatilla Coun
ty farmer held three successive wheat
crops, finally selling the entire lot at an
average loss of from 6 to 10 cents a
bushel, not counting insurance. Interest
and warehouse charges, but taking only
the market valuations at the harvesting
seasons and "when "the grain was sold.
He who is able to manipulate the mar
ket can afford (financially) to speculate,
for he compels things to come towards
him. The small operator, whether on
'change or on a farm, holding bis prod
ucts and betting the market will rise, has
poor show to neap profits from his speculation.

The suit of Clarence W. Garrison
against S. A. Nickum and John W. Nick
um to recover $221 balance alleged due
on a contract to cut and deliver cordwood

Garrison was that In September. 1S9S. he
agreed to deliver to the Nlckums not to
exceed 500 cords of wood In the Fall of
1S99 for SO cents per cord, and did haul
30 cords. Subsequently they agreed to
allow him $2 10 per cord for certain "wood.
The defense was that the balance due is
only $121. which was tendered, and that
Garrison failed to credit a payment made
of $110. Judge George will decide the
case later on.
The Huxard of Speculation.
Pendleton East Oregonlan.
The farmers and woolgrowers of this
county have habitually speculated in the
prices of the products of their industries.
That is, they have held their products for
future higher prices. It is safe to say
that this has been, in the main, unprofit
able. Nine of 10 men thus holding have
lost money. The experience of the past
10 years has demonstrated this in this
county.
It is probably true that many persons
engaged in wheat or wool raising will
slightly resent this statement. But cer
tainly one who studies the conditions
carefully and who takes account of the

County Clerk Hanley Holmes is greatly
cramped for office room In his present
quarters, and has been thinking for some
time how he can obtain additional ropm.
The only offices adjoining are those occu
pied, by County Judge Cake, consisting of
the courtroom and two connecting rooms.
These, added to the offices now used by
the County Clerk, would afford ample
space, but the question then would be
where to put the County Judge. Each
Judge of the State Circuit Court has a
courtroom and private" chamber attached,
and one of these would answer for Judge
Cake, but this would be throwing another
Judge out of an office, and such a plan
therefore is not feasible. The courtrooms
are not always In use, although they are
likely to be at almost any time. Another
plan would be to "move the County Judge
and his court, including the Commission.
ers Court, to the rooms in the City Hall
formerly used by the Board of County
Commissioners when it was a separate
body. This, however. Is also subject to
objection, as the records and papers in
all probate cases are kept in the Court
house by the County Clerk, and If the
County Judge was located at the City
Hall these documents would have to be
carried to and . from the Courthouse by
attorneys and others. This would be con
siderable of an annoyance, and besides,
papers might be lost.
The work of collecting delinquent taxes
under the new law has contributed greatly
to the work of the Cterk and his deputies.
Since the new law went into effect two
months ago over $15,000 has been taken In.
The clause In the act remitting penalties
where taxes are paid before "July 1 has
stimulated payments. MacMaster & Blr
rell, mortgage agents, have just sent the
Clerk a list covering 90 pieces of property
on which they state they desire to pay
the taxes before the period of redemption
expires. The German Savings & Loan So
ciety paid up old taxes on quite a long
list of property several weeks ago, and Is
expected to pay more. The office is full of
taxpayers, attorneys, abstracters and oth
ers all day. The small room Is thus kept
crowded, and the tax rolls, which are
bulky and numerous, are much in use.
There is not enough room on the limited
counter space In the office to accommo
date all visitors at one time, and the
desks and tables have to be resorted to.
The private office of Clerk Holmes has to
be used by two of his deputies. When the
period for registering voters and election
work arrives, the Clerk will be more
crowded than ever. The grand jury-room
was used for this purpose In 1900, but was
not large enough.
DESPITE COOL WEATHER.
Growing Crops MAde Good Progress
the Past Weelc.
The Weather Bureau gives out the fol
lowing this week:
The- weather during the last week has been
more faiorable for the growth of vegetation,
notwithstanding the abnormally low temper
atures that have prevailed In nearly all sec
tions of the state. Owing to an excess or
cloudiness, the day temperatures have aver
aged from 4 to 8 deg. below the normal In
the western section, and from 1 to 4 deg. be
low In the eastern section.
The maximum temperatures In Western Ore
gon ranged between 54 and 70 deg., and the
minimum temperatures between 38 and 50
deg. In Eastern Oregon the maximum tem
peratures ranged between 52 and 70 deg., and
the minimum temperatures between 30 and 50
deg.
Copious showers -occurred In all districts
during the early part of the week, being the
heat lest In the southern and eastern counties.
As a result of the rains, crops In general
made rapid advancement, but warmer weath
er and more rain are needed to bring vegeta
tion up to Its usual state at this season of the
year.
Fall wheat, rye and oats are In excellent
condition, and have a good, healthy color.
There are no complaints of damage from In
sect pests, except In a few scattered sections
of Morrow County, where wire worms are re
ported as having caused 'slight damage.
Spring-sown grain Is stoollng w ell, and In
some localities has appeared above the ground.
Oats are nearly all sown.
Hops have made satisfactory advancement
during the week, except on high ground, where
the growth has been rather slow. The crop
has a healthy color, and Is remarkably free
from lice. The training of the vines Is prac
tically finished In all of the larger yards.
There are few complaints of missing hills, but
the correspondents are of the opinion that
these will come up with the advent of warm,
sunshiny weather.
Spring seeding Is nearly completed. Plowing
Summer fallow continues.
Corn and potato planting have been In actUe
progress since the rains, and in some sections
of Southern Oregon com Is up. More rain Is
needed, however, before corn planting can be
completed.
Gardens have made rapid growth, and sugar
beets are now being planted In Union County.
Cloier and alfalfa are doing well, and there
has been a general Improvement in the condU
tlon of pasturage. In 'Eastern Oregon stock Is
being moxed to the Summer ranges.
Raspberries, strawberries and apples are In
full bloom.
There are a few complaints of pears and
prunes dropping, but not enough to properly
thin the crop. Peaches, apricots, pears, silver
plums and cherr"es have suffered the most
from frosts. .

Secretary's Report. .
To tho "Honorable Board of Trustees and
Members of the Boys' andGlrls'-A14 Society:
This being the sixteenth anniversary of this
society, I am pleased to report that each year
chronicles more and, I believe, better work
than the preceding one. A superintendent of
a society such as ours .has many things 'to
contend with that those outside the work do
not comprehend.
In the first place, many complaints of neg
lect and cruel treatment are received that on
investigation prove" to be unfounded,, some
times the outcome of family misunderstandings
or neighborhood .quarrels. "When a case is In--vestlgated
and p'roves worthy of action on the
part of the society,-' the next step la to take
the correct legal measures to remove tho chil
dren from the parents who have forfeited their
right to care for them longer. In many of
these cases the parents retain the services of
ah attorney and stubbornly 'fight the case In
court, and, Indeed, I think I might Justly say,
thet worse the parents, the harder theyflght.
After the hearing, should the children in
volved be surrendered by order of the court to
the society, the trouble has only Just com
menced, for tho children, halng been born
and raised amid -vicious surroundings, Inherit
many of the vices of their parents, and-only
time and good environment jwlll serve to erad
icate their evil tendencies. We also still have
the parents to contend with, as H Is in nearly
every cage certain that they will harass thei
officers of the society all In thlr power.
In finding homes for children, all precau
tions are taken and everything doneto place
the child where It -will be best cared for, our
first thought being the child's welfare.
Here the trouble of our visitor comes in, and
if we have no such agent more -vexation for
the superintendent, as It is absolutely neces
sary for the welfare of the child 'that all ru
mors respecting Its home and happiness should,
be Investigated, and, no matter under What
agreement the child is placed or how neces
sary" it may bo deemed that it should be re
moved, the custodians, as -In the case, of the,
derelict parent, strenuously fight against re
moval, and In some cases make a persiftuil
fight against the society's agent.
We also have to contend with delinquent
children, and In many cases their more de
linquent parents, and the latter I find much
more formidable than the former," and In very
many cases actually undo the good we have
sought to accomplish.
The foregoing are a few of the difficulties of
the superintendent of a placlng-out agency,
but I am happy -to say lt-has-lts -bright side.
During the past year I am pleased to report
two or three happy marriages of -young girls
who have given the society no end of anxiety
as to their future, and at one time It seemed
as though all hope was lost. "VIththe boys
who are fast approaching manhood, I am able,
to say that about 70 per cent of them are
doing well, 10 per cent fair, 10 per cent bad
and about 10 per "cent am unable to gle an
account of. '
Our work with.-the public schools still con
tinues, and by the 'able assistance of our po
lice officer, Mr. II. H. Hawley, a large num
ber of. children are kept under surveillance
and within bounds, thus assisting the teachers
of the schools, as well as the children and
their parents.
I could not ask for better co-operation than
we receive at the hands of our municipal offi
cers, the Municipal Judge and Chief of Police
The Countj ;Judge and . Commissioners are
working in harmony with us, and they are
doing much for the furtherance ot our good
wjark. In 'speaklng"of co-operation,' we miist
never forget the railroads running out of Port
land, who do so' much 'for us, and, "In fact.
were It not for them our. work, would"" be so
expensive that it would-be difficult to "continue
it as now.
If this society Is more Indebted to one Indi
vidual' than another, that one' is our physician".
During the past jear Dr. John M. Brooke has
been unremitting In his attention to the chil
dren under our charge, and has visited our
sick free of charge, making visits at all times
when called, either night or day. As this gen
tleman Is now away from tlie city on a va
cation, Dr. Wiley has "taken his place, and is
giving the same attention and doing all in his
power for our little ones who need his care. .
For two months during the past "year we
hae- employed a visltorat a small salary, and
his good work" has plainly shown how neces
sary such an officer Is to' the welfare of our
work. Besides appointing efficient agents and
visiting our wards, he has made us many
friends and been the means of bringing to the
Home many kind donations from sources where
otherwise we should have received nothing. I
sircerely trust that we may be enabled to
continue the services of this very necessary
officer.
" Financially," I have to report that we are
progressing fairly well, and by the help of
the state will manage to get through the next
two years, but we need many 'things, as our
work is growing. Among them is the erection
of the north wing of our building, which , I
would respectfully recommend be completed as
soon as -possible. -..-. ...

Extensive Railway Repairs.
Repairs are under way on the Mount
Tabor and Oregon City branches of the
Portland City & Oregon Railway. Along
Hawthorne avenue, working east and
west from Grand avenue, two forces pf
men have been reconstructing the double
track. r The force west of Grand avenue
Is rebuilding a portion of the sub-structure
on the elevated roadway. Here the
timbers above the piles are found de
cayed and are being replaced by new.
No general renovation on the roadway
had, been done since the line was built
about 10 years ago. East of Grand ave
nue the light rai's of "the double track
have been, replaced with heavy rails to
East Eleventh street. From this street
eastward there had been but a single
track, but the second, track has now been
laid along Hawthorne avenue to the top
of. the hill on the Dolan place and Is'
being 'ballasted. On East Eleventh street
iron for a double track to East Caruthers
had been distributed. Yesterday work
was commenced at Clinton street replac
ing the decayed ties. The ' ties are In
ba"d condition, and about every tie on thu
road has to be renewed. Car loads of
ties are taken out from the East Side
lumber mill every day for use at various
points 'along the road. ,

arid.as he didn't like the looks of Port
land, he decided to leave for Butte last
evening over the O. R. & N.
Young Nash gloried in the fact that he
had traveled over a good portion of the
United States west of the Mississippi
River already, and seemed to think noth
ing of the disgrace of being a hobo.
'"Most trainmen take pity on me," he
said, "and I never go hungry. A fireman
hid, me. In the coal tender nearly all the
way from Tacoma, and I was a pretty
black-looking object when I arrived here,
this morning, but I went Into the wash
room of a lodging-house and got most of
the coal dust off.
"1 generally ride on the 'blind bag
gage' when I travel, but when the train
men put me off I hide myself in a toilet
room. I don't like to take the brake
beam. but I can make myself quite com
fortable with a little board, which I
place across the rods. I get prettv well
covered with dust, but It beats hiding
In the box car of a freight train, as
I the passenger trains go so much; faster.
On this trip down, there were nearly 20
fellers beating the passenger bv riding on
top of the coaches, but at Cle-Elm the
baggage master made five or six of. us
climb 'down and help him pile the trunks
away nicely In his car. For thjs I was
allowed to ride to Tacoma."
"How do your parents like to have you
hoboing around th country this way?"
the boy was asked.
OTiev don't like It. but they can't help
themselves. They would like me. to keep
on golncr to school, but I'm going to see
the world as I go along,"
Fred said his father was a statlonarv
engineer at Butte, and that his parents
had permitted him to work on the mes
senger force there for several months.
Where he averaged $3 a day In wages and
tips. He did not act dishonestly. In Butte,
however, .as that, would have gotten hls
father 'Into trouble.. His conscience did
not annoy blrn over the Spokane transac
tion, and he laughed as he gollioaulzed.on
the defrauded woman's discomfiture as
she realized the loss of her S3. Fre.d can
always ralse 15 ,or '20 cents "to chew on,"
he savs, as people sympathize with his
youthful face when he tells them, he Is
ooklniT for work. As he gets older, how
ever, he Is apt to find begging more
difficult, and Is likely to meet with a
greater proportion, of rebuffs than now.
He. .had, a nartper, another youth, he
said, on leaving Butte, but this chap was
put off the train at. Kajama and pre
vented from crossing the ferry to the
Oregon side' This catastrophe changed
Fred's plans, as ..the jcouple had started
out for the sunny .fields of California.

Gordon creeks, and acquired water rights
far back from the Sandy River. Lines
were run and measurements taken
on a 150-acre tract through which
Trout Creek flows, with the In
tention, 'so it is stated, of
uniting Trout and Gordon creeks. It was
on this tract that many holes were sunk
to ascertain the character of the soil
and the cost of uniting the two creeks.
It is believed that it will not be long
before a bjg power plant will be bullr
on the land. The water power secured
will then be utilized either for supplying
electric power for commercial purposes.
or for street car service In Portland.
Troutdale is the shipping point of thous
ands of railway ties, the demand for
which crimes from points as far East a?
the Missouri River. Thousands have been
hauled from the interior mills and
stacked up ready forshlpment. James
Douglass, a " well-known farmer; of the
place, said yesterday: u
"This tie business has made Eastern
Multnomah County farmers rich, as It
has been the means of clearing land for
cultivation that would not, have been
touched! I was born right here 35 years
ago, and have seen the country grow.
and I am frank to ,say that since the
tie industry has sprung- up the growth
of the country has been many times
faster than ever before. A mill company
pays a farmer who has scarcely any
thing ?2000 for the timber on his land,
and then gives him the work of sawing
It. Ten years before the tie business was
started I knew farmers at Pleasant Home
who could scarcely get anything to eat.
They .now have comfortable homes, biff
barns, carriages and half a dozen bicy
cles;" The greater part of the ties are hauled
over the county road by wagon, but
thousands are raffed down the Sandy
River. After a time ties will' be floating
dq.wn -the .Sandy by hundreds of thou
sands. They will be caught In a boom
between the railway and the county
bridges and directed to an endles3 chain
device which carries them automatically
up a chute Into the receiving yard. Here
they are inspected. As the wagons come
In from the Interior mills the ties are
Inspected, the defective ones being re
jected, and sold for fuel.
Acrpss the Sandy from Troutdale Is the
high derrick and machinery of the "Wat
son Oil Company. Night and day the
steel drill churns away, slowly eating
Its way to a deposit of "liquid sunlight,"
as .Professor Winchell woukf say. The
well Is down about 250 feet, and proba
bly" will 'have to be sunk at' least 1000
feet before It can be expected to strike
petroleum.

General MacArtliur Congratulated
Regiment That Sailed. Front 'Here.
The boys of .the Thirty-fifth Infantry,
many of whom are returning ,to their
homes 'via Portland, are proud of their
record in the Philippines. The regiment
sailed' from this city by the transports
Rid de Janeiro and Sikh in October, 1S99,
ana as it spent stvecai weeKs at yie Van
couver barracks, while getting ready for
the trip, the members are "all more or
less acquainted in Portland, whose people
showed their interest, in he regiment's
welfare by many little acts of kindness" on
their departure. The following clipping
from a Manila paper reviewing the career
of the 'Thirty-fifth, will be read with
pleasure by Portland people:
"The ,ThIrtyrflf th.Infantry was reviewed
by General" MacAfthur yesterday afters
noon, at Camp Wallace,, In the presence
of a large crowd of spectators.
"Though the regiment" has been hdklng
In 'the mountains ever since its arrival
in 'the Philippines' the splendid' training
It received before- being sent Into the
field was shown in-the perfection ot its
evolutions on the parade-ground. Com
pliments were showered upon it, as, the
column passed In review, by military
critics..
"After the parade General MacArthur
addressed the troops. praising their
valiant services, hardihood, courage and
uncomplaining endurance of all hardships
which, he said, were "the " tests of the
true soldier. Continuing, he said:
As loner as the Republic has such men for
Its service as now stand before mo- In these
formidable battalions, t Is safe. The Idea haa
suggested Itself to me that a warlike spirit
is neces'sary to National "perpetuity. This- does
not mean 'an overwhelming army. On the con
trary, in a Republic -Jhere'all are ready to
serve a large force Is not necessary. Hence
the more" warlike the spirit which animates
the people., the less need there will be for a
large stariding army; and the presence of
these line soldiers shows what the country
can do on short notice.
In behalf 'or your comrades, I give you
greeting, and in my own behalf .1 wish, to
speak as warmly as. I feel. God bless you, my
soldiers. Return to your home3 and friends,
and tell them that military service carries
honor and gratitude from the Nation. You
will all be good citizens as you have been good
soldiers. Soldiers. In the field learn fortitude,
courage and endurance; all good qualifications
for citizenship. So 'regulate your lives that
jou may be an honor to your country and to
your flag.

Speaking of fruit, Mr. Emily eays the

set in long rows finely kept and free
