On this point the verdict was as follows: "We further And that the place where the accident occurred to be exceedingly dangerous, and recommend that said com pany make said place more safe by box ing eald shaft or building guard rails about It, or both." Another portion of the verdict is as fol lows: "We further recommend that. In cases of this serious nature, medical as sistance should be secured as quickly as possible. Irrespective of the company physician." It appears that Dr. W. E. Carll, the company's physician, ws out of the city at the time of the accident. Dr. E. A.

Shepard, a well-known fruitgrower of Zena, Polk County, says that conditions are now very promising for a good fruit crop this season. He says the continued cold rains have kept the trees back so that the sap did not start early. This lessens tho chance of damage by heavy freezing. The trees will not begin to blossom un til about April 1, and In view of tho long spell of rainy weather it is reasonable to expect that there will be fair weather during the blossoming season. Mr. Shep ard says that cold rains while the trees are in blossom are likely to injure the crop, but with one week of fair weather the pollen will s-pread and the fruit be come set Local nurserymen are just filling the last of their orders for Spring delivery. They say that there has been a larger demand for fruit trees this year .than there has been before in 10 years. The demand comes from all parts of the Northwest, and not from particular lo calities, as has usually been the case. The largest demand is for apple trees and winter varieties are In favor.

Supreme Coart Holds All -Moneys From Sales of School Xaads Must Go to That Faad. OLYMPIA, Wash., March 2L The Su preme Court, in a decision today, declare unconstitutional section 8 of the 1S95 law relating to the collection Qf assessments in ditch or drainage Improvement dis tricts. The section declared unconstitu tional provides that the county in which the improvement Is made shall pay tho assessment apportioned against school lands out of its general fund, and have a Hen on the proceeds of the sale of such lands, from which the county Is to be reimbursed. The court bases Its decision on the ground that the proceeds from the sale of school lands .cannot be directly or in directly diverted from the permanent or irreducible school fund of tho state, and NEW COMMANDS Major-General Artaar Mats Artbnr. On March 25, Major-Gcneral Arthur MacArthur and Brigadier-Generals Fun ston and Kobbc will assume new and .Important positions On that date the statu tory retirement of Mnjor-Qeneral E. S. Otis will vacate the commands of the mili tary departments of tho Lakes at Chicago, and of Dakota at St. Paul. xMaJor Gcneral MacArthur will rellnqiP.sh bis command of the Department of Colorado and proceed to the military department of the Lakes to assume a like position. His successor will be Brlgadlcr-General Funston. Brtgadlcr-pencral Kobbc has been assigned to the Department of Dakota. holds the section In question In conflict with section 5. article 6. of the constitu tion. This decision is of especial Interest because of the fact that the section under mention was Incorporated in the law of 1S95 to cure a defect that had previously had the effect of declaring the law un constitutional. First Execution Under New Law. What will probably be the first execu tion under the law compelling tho hang ing of murderers at the State Penitentiary will be that of Alfred Hamilton, for kill ing D. M. Woodbury, at Anacortes, Sep tember 7. 1899. The Supreme Court re cently affirmed the Judgment of the lower court, which found Hamilton guilty of murder In the first degree. Hamilton Is now confined In the King County Jail, as the Skagit County jail Is not considered secure. According to the reckoning of the authorities of Skagit County, the ex ecution of Hamilton should take place by May L The rcmittitus should be received from the Supreme Court within a day or two. As Hamilton is a dangerous man. it Is thought not much longer than the low est time limit will be allowed him to pre pare for death. Governor McBrlde, who assisted In prosecuting the case, has re fused to Interfere, and Hamilton has therefore nothing to hope for from tho executive. As soon as sentence Is passed, Hamilton will be conveyed to the peni tentiary to await execution. Oyster Beds a Lively Place Novr. The oyster-tonglng season began March 15. and the seed beds in this section pre sent a lively scene as a result. It is said tne seed. Deas on ine siaie resetveu m both North Bay and Hood's Canal were severely Injured by the recent cold snap. The narrows In Mason County will prob ably receive the most attention from-men desiring seed, as they are reported less serlqusly Injured by the frost. Oysters are now selling for M and 14 25 a sack, and the demand is good, the shippers hav ing a market for all the bivalves obtain able. The cold spell caught many of the beds exposed by low tides, and the loss to oystermen will therefore be considera ble In the aggregate. Cedar Prices Worry Mlllraen. The high price at which cedar logs rtre held In this section Is beginning to worry shingle manufacturers. On lower Puget Sound cedar has recently brought 512 and even $12 50 a thousand, and in some In stances shlnglemen have been compelled to go to British Columbia to get timber to kuodIv the demand. This la the high est price ever paid for cedar on Puget Sound, andlt is due to the fact that that claFS of timber is exceedingly scarce. The demand for hlngles in the East was ncver better, and the various mills find It lmDOfsible to fill all the orders they could get. A man owning a few acres or cedar available to water or rail trans portation JuBt at this time Is Insured of a small-sized fortune. BASE LINE OF MINING CLAI3IS. Important Decision of Gold Commis sioner at Dawson. Late advices from Dawson contain the decision of an Important case in tho Gold Commissioner's office, involving the question of what shall be the base line in creeks where there are many twists and turns, or where the banks are any thing but even and in one gcneraL di rection. The gist of the decision Is that a point should be taken and designated the center of tho stream, and the center of the creek claim then be made a line drawn parallel to the base line of the creek through the given point. This de cision establishes a precedent In this re spect and will enable all to determine how to form the base line of adjoining hill or bench claims, as well as of the creek claims. The decision will affect a large number of claims In the territory. Frank C. Whalbey, in writing from the Koyukuk country, expresses the opinion that the resources of the section have been overestimated outside, and that it may bring in a crowd who will be disap pointed. He says his diggings did not come up to what was expected laBt year, and there has been nothing new found. He falls to sec anything In the country to justify a stampede, and alleges that all tho reports sent out to encourage Immi gration have been made by Baloon-keep-ers and townslto boomers. The Zero Club tendered a reception to H. D. Baylor, who recently arrived in Dawson as United States Consul. The in vitation Inviting Mr. Saylor to the re ception, was engraved on a miniature gold pan. PLUMBERS AXD EMPLOYERS AGREE Seattle Journeymen Will amt Balld 1ns; Trades Coancll.

AT DEATH'S DOOR FROM KIDNEY DISEASE Mrs. A. M. Leland of Muscongus, Me., Suffered So Much From Kidney Disease That Life Was a Burden to Her. Her Doctors Gave Her Up to Dje. WARNER'S SAFE CURE Cured Her and Restored Her to Perfect Health; She Is Now Able to Do Her Own Housework. CURED MRS. LELAND Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney Disease and Do Not Know It Until Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Urinary Trouble Have Set In. A TRIAL BOTTLE OF WARNER'S SAFE CURE, THE WORLD'S GREATEST KIDNEY CURE, SENT ABSOLUTELY FREE TO EVERY REAiDER OF THE OREGONIAN. Gentlemen: I wish to let you know of the good that Warner's Safe Cure and War ner's Safe Pills have done for me. Last Spring I. was stricken with what tho doctors pronounced liver and kidney disease, and lay in an semi-conscious state and my death was expected at any mo ment. Two doctors gave me up, told my family I could not live tho day out. My feet, legs and whole body were fearfully swollen, and I was so lame and sore all over that to move In bed almost took my life. I gasped for breath, and my heart's action was so unnatural as to cause serious alarm. After I had been given up to die by two doctors, my family, knowing that Warner's Safe Cure had done so much for ray daughter, purchased a bottle of Warner's Safe Cure and a box of pills, and when I was at the point of death and my clothes all waiting to dress me for my last resting place, they began to give me Warner's Safe Cure. I took It every hour or two through the night, and at the turn of this same nic;ht the kidneys began to act and the swellings gradually subsided. The lever abated, my lameness improved nnd last, of all, my breath became natural. I was drenched with perspiration. The whole story, told briefly, is simply this From lying at death's door, bloated from head to foot, panting for breath like a dog. arter a long chase, heart beating two beats and skipping two or, so faint could hardly hear it, pulse a great deal over one hundred, and a stupor that could not be controlled, this was my condition when I took Warner's Safe Cure, and I can only say that it saved my life, and that is oil that is claimed for It.
