The receipts there amounted to $22,097, and among' the disbursements there were tax claims of $6000. ( The church claim was a balance due on a subscription to the building fund of ,the church by James Abraham. He gave altogether about $30,000, and paid a large jjart of it before his death. The payment of the balance -was resisted for a long (time in the courts, but the church author ities finally succeeded In having the claim jallowed. James Abraham in his lifetime Hras considered wealthy, but. through lit igation, etc., the estate has dwindled away. Judge Cake yesterday made an order allowing the claim of Edward T. Taggart against the estate of William Stokes, de ceased. He settled, an old claim against the Portland Hospital for $3500. and had ,an agreement with Ellen Stokes, the wid ow, to receive one-half of the sum real ized.

ALDERS CASE COMES UP. Judge Frnxcr Overrules Demurrer to Complaint. A, demurrer to the complaint in the $5000 damage suit of J. Henry Albers against ex-Policeman O. P. Church and Edward Caffee, Officer James Roberts and Police Commissioner Rankin, was over ruled by Judge Frazer yesterday, by con sent. J. "V. Beach, who appeared as at torney for Roberts and Church, stated that he did not desire to argue the de murrer. Albert Ferrera, counsel for Caf fee, also had no argument to make. "W. D. Fenton, attorney, for Commis sioner Rankin, presented a motion to have the complaint made more definite and certain in some particulars. He asked that the complaint state by what word of mouth Rankin aided, abetted and encouraged the officers in maliciously beating Albers; also "what sum of money Albers expended in employing physicians, and in what -way he sustained $5000 dam ages. Judge Frazer allowed Henry E. McGinn, attorney for Albers, to amend the com plaint slightly to conform to some of these requests. ' DrVORCB SUIT DISMISSED. The Meyers, Married for 20 Years, Are Still United. The divorce suit of Anna Meyer against Henry Meyer "was dismissed by Judge Cleland yesterday. Mrs. Meyer before the trial left the city, going to San Francisco, and the case was tried out on the cross complaint filed by the husband. He charged his wife with cruel treatment, and also with infidelity. He testified that she had a former lover in San Francisco named Gustave Anderson, whom she vis ited several times and corresponded with. Judge Cleland held that the charge of cruel treatment was not substantiated, and concerning the other accusation, the only evidence submitted was a letter writ ten in the Finnish language, presumably by Mrs. Meyer to Anderson. There was no proof that the letter ever reached An derson, and the evidence was hearsay only. When the complaint was. filed, Mey er and has wife had a contest for the possession of their little boy, but before Mrs. Meyer went away she brought and left the child with his father. The' cou ple were married 20 years ago. NEW TRIALS GRANTED. Second Hearings in Two Cases In the Circuit Xourt. Judge Cleland granted a new trial yes terday in the suit of John Versteeg against John W. Kern et al. Versteeg holds a judgment against Kern for $500, costs and interest, being a balance due on account of a note executed bj Kern to Mrs. W. A. Storey. Versteeg obtained Judgment on the note, and afterwards garnlsheed several thousand dollars re ceived 'by Mrs. Kern as the proceeds of the sale of stock in the Western Cedar Lumber Company, at Rainier. Versteeg contended that the money belqnged to Kern, and was subject to execution on the judgment, but the jury which heard the case decided In favor of Mrs. Kern. Judge Cleland granted a new trial be cause of Insufficient evidence to sustain the verdict. The court found that there was testimony at the trial that the note executed by Kern to Mrs. W. A. Storey, which was for $1300, was given as part payment by Kern for a one-half Interest in the Storey-Kern Fuel Compiny, and this Interest was therefore paid for by Kern by money which he got on his own credit. There was also evidence that the half interest in the Storey-Kern .Fuel Company was converted into the West- ern Cedar Lumber Company. A new trial in the damage suit of j Charles G. Adams agains tthe City & Suburban Railway Company was granted by Judge Cleland yesterday. Adams was driving a butcher cart across Morrison street, at its intersection with Tenth, and a car collided with the wagon. He was thrown out and sustained personal injuries. The Jury returned a verdict in his favor in the sum of $700. Judge Clel and granted a new trial on the ground of Insufficient proof of negligence on the part of the persons operating the car. There was evidence that when Adams first started to drive across the street, and when he first noticed the car, the car was a block away. The court said' that the. evidence showed that the rate of speed at which Adams was driving- his horse was four, miles an hour. There was a question of contributory negligence which the pourt did not care to discuss in view of the fact that the case would be tried again. Judge Cleland said he thought It advisable to submit the case to another jury. United States Grand Jurors. Seventeen of the 30 grand jurors sum moned appeared in the United States Court yesterday, as follows: Frank Sul ly, Dayton; A. Hopson, Milton; P. L. Ken nedy, Woodburn; William H. Mead.

Thompson Loses on Appeal. A decision against E. W. Thompson, in his sulf against the Novelty Toilet & Supply Company, to recover for extra services performed as an engineer, was rendered by Judge Cleland yesterday, who held that Thompson worked under a writ ten contract, and had received all he is entitled to.

Lawrence, qharged with larceny of an overcoat, the property' of C. R. Frazler, was brought before udge Frazer yester day morning to plead. Lawrence stated that he obtained the coat from another man. but as he could not locate the man, he was willing to plead guilty to simple larceny. The case was continued until today, in order to give Deputy District Attorney Manning time to ascertain the facts connected with the theft in-possession of the police authorities. In the case of James Wilson vs. G. W. Holmes, ordered removed from the State Court to the United States Court, the rec ord of removal was filed in the Unitexi States Court yesterday. The suit .Is to recover $6500, the value of services ren dered by plaintiff in the sale of certain timber lands. The case was removed on petition of defendant on the ground that the controversy is between citizens of dif-. ferent states, defendant being a citizen of the State of Wisconsin and plaintiff a resident of Portland. Or. Writing Uis Reminiscences. Rev. J. W. Miller, the well-known pio neer Methodist preacher, living In retire ment on the East Side, has been engaged' In -writing stories of his personal experi ences in the early days of this state. He came to Oregon in 1850 when a young man, and then became a circuit-rider, -with a district many miles long and wide cov ering great stretches of wilderness. He had many exciting experiences during his many years on the frontier, which he is now setting dq,wn as a matter of employ ment and preservation. Mr. Miller has not made up his mind to have these rec ollections published, but may conclude to do so. Some of his friends seem to think that they would prove interesting.

AllMembers Report BrlfchtProspects in Various Districts Address by President "E. L. Smith. The semi-annual meeting of the State Board of Horticulture was 'held yesterday at the office of George H. Lamberson, secretary of the board, 146 Washington street. At the morning session several reports were read, dealing with the neces sity of thorough inspection of -nursery stock, both at home and from outside markets; the advantages of spraying, and also showing that, among fruitgrowers of all sections of the state, a marked effort is being made to give the orchards proper care, and that a scientific war is being waged upon fruit pests. The result of this was well shown br last year's fruit crop, which reports prove to be not only large, but of exceptional quality, and in the present condition of Oregon orchards, I which gives a very bright outlook for this year's crops. I At the afternoon session various hills were audited and approved; and" the fol lowing resolutions read and adopted: "Whereas, Our brother Commissioner ana fellow-worker, Emile Schanno, has completed his earthly labors and gone to : his last rest, be it I "Resolved, That we, the members of J the State Board of Horticulture, do sin cerely mourn his loss, and feel that in I his death the State of tlrpeon Vino Inst n faithful and -worthy citizen, and the fruit growers an ardent helper, and we, per sonally, an esteemed member of the board, I wnose counsels were always helpful, i "We extend our sympathies to the be reaved family. We move that these reso- lutlons be placed on the minutes and toe . come a part of the official records. I "W. K. NEWELL, j "A. H.

President Smith's Report. i Gentlemen: We have convened at thh datein order to compare the past year's j experiences and discuss methods for im proved work the ensuing stasdn. I In 1901 we harvested the most valuable , fruit crop ever grown In the State of Oregon, aggregating in value $2,3"5.u00. ! The Commissioners of our State Board of Horticulture, the proiessors of tne . Hatch Experiment Station,. atCorvalllj, and the press, contributed materially in tecurlng this grand result. 1 It. is also gratifying xo note that our i fruit exhibit at Buftalo secured first rec I ognition. as in addition to the much cov- eted Wilder medal of the American Pom- ological Association, we weie awarded i by uie Pan-American Exposition S7 med , ais and Zi honorable mentions. i Our fruit exhioit was dwarfed in extent ; by that of other states, but ita- superb ,. quality elicited the unqualified adraira- ition of an visitors. There is an lncreaelns demand for our high-grade apples in Europe and our former, president, now Consul Miller In Manchuria Is confident than with 'low i trans-Pacific freight charges, which wo j have reason to believe can De secured we i will be able to send our Oriental ne'igh l bors large quantities of our fcecond-gn.de ( apples. i In liXW the apple crop was exceedingly large in the United .States, yet we re ceived satisfactory prices. for our fancy I fruit, as I believe we will .continue to do, and if we can unload in China and Japan our second grades, the future suc cess of our orchardlsis seems assured, j Our horticulturists are fast becoming j convinced that always to have a market j they must have the best in the inarm c - -- - ..--- -- ..w u.. , a,uicu only by planting a few varieties of high quality, and then properly growing them. The- apple acreage of the state is rap idly increasing, especially In Southern j mm jiafitru vjre&uu, unu me nursery ! men inform us that the demand has ; been largely for Newtowns, Jonathans ( Spltzenbergs and a few other varieties' all of the nlghest quality. Our prunegrowers also have done fairly well, new markets have been found and j the superior excellence of our Oregon ! product Is fast becoming recognized. '. The demand for. information and spray j bulletins Is large, and my table is bur dened with Inquiries, not only from our j own citizens-, but from those of other I states a's well. I On tho wholi Wn ran mnfrohiloio .?.. ' selveo that the outlook Is encouraging ' and that fruitgrowing5 is rapidly becom- ing one of the promising industries of j our resourceful state. It is my earnest des.re that this Board I of Horticulture shall give intelligent di rection to this industry by popularizing all best-known methods and by cordial ' co-operation with the experienced grow er In the field, and the specialist In the , laboratory. j Our transportation companies are lend ; ing their assistance by reporting to our secretary all shipments of tree? grown, outside our state, and "to whom con- signed, thereby enabling us to secure ' prompt and rigid Inspection, and In some instances entire car lots of Infected trees ' The nursery is the' fertile source of ! distribution of Insect pests and disease, and as in the past, I urge their fre quent and thorough examination. And right here our horticultural law is sadly deficient. I refer to that portion relating to inspection. As you are aware, the total allowance of the state for all horti cultural work is only $1500 per annum, and this, must cover the entire work of our board. Including per diem and ex penses of six Commissioners, salary of secretary, printing of bulletins. mailinK of reports and bulletins, attending, fruit meetings, etc As a. result a Commissioner can inspect annually only a portion of his district embracing several counties; The statute provides for the appoint ment of deputy inspectors, but makes no provision for their compensation. We ought to have an inspector In every fruit growing county in the state, to be paid only when called upon to inspect ship ments of trees and fruit, and when Bpe cial complaint has been lodged of an Infested orchard. Carloads of moth-infested apples have been shipped out of this state and sold as Oregon apples, greatly to our dis- creoat. a. smau additional appropriation, with authority to pay deputies, would enable our board to secure vigilant in spection at all important points of ship ment. A new spray bulletin, should be pre pared, as the old one 1b exhausted, and some of the formulas need modification. I again call your attention to the value of co-operative organizations at central points of fruit production. Such organizations are of great edu cational as well as business value, and secure better results than can be ob tained through isolated individual effort. We are witnessing the beginning of a great Westward movement of people to the Pacific Coast Oregon, with va6t territorial area and varied resources, will attract a large portion of this emigration. With less than 10 per cent of our avail able fruit lands now utilized for that purpose, with constantly enlarging mar kets and better known- methods of or charding, what more inviting field for the new homeeeeker .than that of .horti culture? W. K. Newell, of Dllley, reported the present outlook for fruitgrowers of the Second District to be very bright. "A backward Spring." he sftld. t"ls especially propitious, and this Spring is fully two weeks later than the average. "Never before in the history of the dis trict has there been so much thorough and effective spraying done and such sincere interest taken In orchard work. An ex cessive number of apples trees have been planted, but, with the present outlook of a world-wide market for Oregon apples, there seems little danger of overproduc tion." He also stated that much Interest is be ing taken in the growing ot- strawberries, especially around Newberg, where large patches are being put out and extensive preparations being made to grow plants for next year's planting. A. B. Carson, of Grant's Pass, reported a promising outlook In the Third District. "Last year's success," he said, "has stimulated all classes, of fruitgrowers to spray, prune and p'ut their orchards in the best possible condition." He also reported great activity in plant ing. He says: "The planting of new orchards, especially about Ashland, Med ford and Central Point, has been very large the past Winter. I estimate that In the vicinity of these three " localities there have been 1200 acres pldnted. About 60 per cent of the new acreage Is the ap ple and 40per cent peach ahd pear." The report of United States Consul H. B. Miller, of NIu Chwang, on his experi ments with shipping apples to "the Orient, will be of especial Interest ot those vrno were victims of the "Ben Davis craze" some years ago, "From these experiments', and also from observations of shipments to Shang hai, I consider the Ben Davis the best apple for the Oriental trade," says Mr. Miller. He, however, .dpes not advise planting them. Several thousapd boxes of Ben Davis apples are shipped to China every year, and they invariably reach there in good condition, coming from either Portland, Seattle or Vancouver. Apple shipments for all the northern ports of China should, be shipped by October 1, on account of the danger of freezing. If apples reach North China In good condition, they will ke.ep well there, on account of the dry, 'cold cli mate. The board will print a new spray bulle tin In the near future, -which will incor porate the latest experiments of Cornell, Michigan, and also of their 'own experi mental station at Corvallls. Copies of this bulletin will be sent to fruitgrowers 1 throughout the state. In order to intro duce among them the best sprays, as shown by scientific experiments. PIONEER DAY, JUNE 18. Arrangements MaklnK for Great Gathering: in Portland. At a recent meeting of the board of di rectors of the Oregon Pioneer Associa tion, the necessary plans for the annual reunion of 1902 were inaugurated and committees appointed to carry them out. An invitation was extended last year by Astoria to have the reunion at that city, but, owing'to numerous changes during the year in the only buildings large enough to accommodate the gathering, those who had the matter in charge were reluctantly compelled, to withdraw the In vitation. On account of June. 15, coming on Sun day, the day of the meeting will be Wednesday, June 18. The public exercises and banquet will be given In the Exposi tion building. Hon. Thomas A. 'McBrlde. 1846, Clack amas County, was selected to make the annual address, and W. T. Wright, 1852. of Union, Union County, the occasional address. Rev. Robert Robe, 1S46, Brownsville, was elected chaplain, and C. T. Belcher, grand marshal. J. C. Moreland, -George H. Hlmes and William Galloway were created the com mittee of arrangements, and Mrs. C. M. Cartwright was eleqted chairman of the Woman's AuxiHdry. The finance committee was made up as follows: M. C. George, Charles E. Ladd. L. A. Lewis, G. T. Myers and Sol Blu raauer. Since this is the 50th anniversary of the arrival of the pioneers of 1852, an espe cial effort will be made by tho commit tee of arrangements to get together as large a 'number of those who came that eventful year as possible. MR. NICKELL EXPLAINS. IIotv He Happened to Break Demo cratic Slate. JACKSONVILLE, Or.. April 12,(To the Editor.) In your account of the late Democratic State Convention you state that James E. Godfrey was the slate candidate for State Printer. He may have been led to believe that he was ohly that, and nothing more; for a different state of affairs developed. - My candidacy was solely the result of a suggestion by Chairman White, of the Democratic State Committee. I never so licited the vote of a single delegate not even those of my own delegation. I was consequently placed in a false position by Colonel White, the vote of whose county was cast for Mr. Long. If I broke the slate in tho two Instances you name, I certainly xiid in a third, for Mr. Godfrey was .nominated by .the votes of my friends, which were changed to him at my request after I awoke to the true situation.
