Coijtejript Charge Against
Portland Men Fails.
DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
O'Dey and Tarpley Sustained in Ite-
fnainsr to Turn Over Property in
Escheat .Proceeding: Another
Dialtnomah Case Paswcd On.
"Where, the County Court has Jurisdic
tion of an estate. Its' order of distribu
tion Is final as to all purposes until sei
aside In a direct proceeding, and If tbe
state would secure the property through
administration It must do so by filing
a claim at the proper time.
A -man directed to -work upon dead
electric wires does not assume the risk
of injury from the current being turned
on without notice to him.
In order to prove the existence of a
corporation. It must be ehown that
articles were executed In triplicate, one
copy filed with the Secretary of Sfate,
another with the County Clerk, half
the stock subscribed, and directors
elected.
A--
SAL.EM, July H. Tho Supreme Court;
toaay nanaea down lour opinions, decid
ing, among other things, that O'Day and
Tarpley; the Portland attorneys, were not
guilty of contempt In refusing to turn
over the property of the McCann estate
when ordered to do so by the Circuit
Court. The opinions In brief are as fol
lows: State of Oregon, respondent, vs. Thom
as O'Day and L. H. Tarpley, two cases,
from Multnomah County, John B. Cleland
Judge In escheat case and A. L. Frazer
Judge In contempt case, reversed: opinion
by Justice Bean. "
In September, 1S95. P. C. McCann died
intestate in Multnomah County, leaving
property of the value of J8000. and .J. S.
Cooper was appointed administrator. Af
ter the estate had been administered,
Cooper filed his final account, showing on
hand 56265 47 in cash, 10 shares of stock of
the First. National "Bank of Independ
ence and a few other articles of personal
property. A date for hearing and settle
ment was set, and notice duly given.
Cooper was thereafter removed as admin
istrator and John F. Logan appointed. A
few days thereafter an Information was
filed in the Circuit Court, under Section
S137, Hill's Zaws, for a decree escheat
ing the property to the state. The in-'
formation alleged that McCann left no
heirs. Logan filed an answer setting up
the facts, and while this proceeding was
pending in. the Circuit Court, the County
Court proceeded to a final settlement of
the estate and ordered distribution to the
heirs. The property was delivered to
O'Day and Tarpley, attorneys for the
heirs, and the administrator was dis
charged. An application was then made
In the escheat proceedings for the appoint
ment of a receiver, and O'Day and Tarpley,
though not made parties to the proceed
ings, were cited to appear and show
cause -why a receiver should not be ap
pointed. They answered, setting tip the
proceeding in the County Court. A re
ceiver was appointed, to who.ni O'Day and
Tarpley were ordered to deliver the property,-
and upon their refusal, contempt
proc56edlngs'were.,brough.t and they were
committed to jalL From both orders they
appealed. '
Thp Supreme Court holds that the de
cree of distribution of the property was
conclusive upon all persons until reversed
or set aside in some direct proceeding.
"Under section 31S6 of Hill's Laws, the
state is entitled to maintain any action,
suit or proceeding necessary fjr the en
forcement ot protection- of its right in the
matter of escheated property, so that it
couljl have appeared in the County Court
and there presented 'for adjudication the
question as to whether McCann died "With
out Jfelrs.
"A4 we -construe the escheat" law, it
doesot undertake to Interfere with the
Jurisdiction qft the County Court in pro
bate matters, or with the Jurisdiction of
any other court, lawfully acquired. . . .
It is a familiar principle that where a
courj. has acquired Jurisdiction it is its
duty to proceed with the consideration of
the matters presented, to final determina
tion, 'unless- it Is prevented 'from doing so
by aj& injunction or sbme other legal pro
cess. ... If a Circuit Court, through a
receiver, 6r otherwise, can take the prop
erty of a decedent out -of the hands of an
administrator, and proceed to make final
disposition Ihereof, ft could 'and wopld
prevent the payment of funeral charges,
etc., and would prevent an administrator
from settling his accounts."
It is therefore held that the Circuit
Court Improperly ordered O'Day and Tarp
ley to turn over the property in the es
cheat proceeding, and that they were im
properly Committed for contempt.
Ellis G. Hughes, appellant, vs. Charles
E. Ladd and F. B. Pratt, respondents,
from. Multnomah County, J. B. Cleland.
A. F, -Sears, and M. C George, Judges
in Jplnt session, .affirmed; opinion per
curiam.
This was a suit to compel Ladd to pay
two certain promissory notes, one of
which was executed br Hughes, Ladd
and other persons, composing the finance
committee of the Chamber of Commerce,
as Joint makers, and the other by the
Chamber of Commerce, the payment of
the latter being guaranteed by the mem
"bers of the finance committee. The con
tention of Hughes was that he was a
surety and -was therefpre entitled to Ladd
as his principal, "which would relieve him
from paying the obligation. The Supreme
Court says:
"We find no basis for such a contention
in the record, hut deem it unnecessary to
state at length the reasons for our con
clusion. The case was tried oefore the
Judges of the Circuit Court of Multno
mah County, sitting en banc, and an elab
orate and carefully-prepared opinion, cov
ering the whole ground, was filed by
Judge Cleland in behalf of himself and
associates, with the reasonings and con
clusions of which we are entirely satis
fied." .A. C. Hough, administrator of the es
tate of Enoch L. Moon, deceased, re
spondent, vs. Grant's Pass New Water,
Light &. Pov er Company, appellant, from
Josephine County, H. K. Hanna Judge,
affirmed; opinion by Justice Wolverton.
This was an action to recover for In
juries received while acting in the capaci
ty of a lineman In the employ of the de
fendant corporation. Moon was repairing
the wires of the light company after a
fire, and whDo he was thus working the
current was turned on, resulting in his In-Jury-
He received a Judgment In the low
er court, and the judgment is affirmed on
appeal to the Supreme Court The essen
tials of the. case are. shown in the follow
ing excerpts from the opinion1:
"It was not -necessary for plaintiff to
allege that the deceased was without
knowledge of his danger, because he was
directed to. work upon dead wires, And
presumably they would -not be rendered
dangerous without due notice and warn
ing to him. The danger was not inqldent
to the place In which he assented to work,
but resulted directly and immediately
from the negligent act of the employer
in permitting -to be transmitted over' the
wires a deadly current of 'electricity, thus
AcCRtivha-clalrocdM take the cake and c
rendering the work that was before per
fectly safe, extremely perilous.
"If a servant is charged with the per
formance of one of the master's duties,
then the master must answer for his neg
ligence in the discharge of that duty, and
if the servant whose negligence caused
the Injury was at the time performing one
of the master's personal duties to his ser
vants, the master Is liable."
Goodale Lumber Company, respondent,
vs. W. A. Shaw, appellant, reversed -and
remanded; opinion by Chief Justice Moore.
This was an action to recover on a prom
issory note. On appeal to the Supreme
Court the case hinged upon the question
of the sufficiency of the evidence" as to
the Incorporation of the plaintiff com
pany. At the trial in the lower court, a
subscribing witness testified that he was
ptesent and saw a document purporting
to he plaintiff's articles of Incorporation,
executed by persons therein named as
Incorporators, and to which he appended
his name as a witness, whereupon said
articles were received in evidence, over
the defendant's objection. As to the prop
er method of proving the existence of a
corporation, the Supreme Court says:
"While the statute provides that the
articles of incorporation, or a certified
copy of the one filed with the Secretary of
State or County Cleric, Is evidence of the
existence of such corporation (Hill's Laws,
section 2213), this clause must necessarily
be construed In pari materia with another
section which provides that upon filing
articles of Incorporation, the persons sub
scribing the same are incorporators and
authorized to carry Into effect the objects
upecifled in the articles (section S221). In
the methodical order of offering the
necessary evidence. It would seem proper
to prove the execution and acknowledg
ment of the articles of Incorporation In
triplicate, and that one of such articles
khad been filed in the office of the Secre
tary of State, and another in the ofilce
of the Clerk of the County Court where
the business of the corporation is pro
posed to be conducted. ... A corpora
tion la created by making and filing aril
ties of incorporation (section 3221), and is
organized by electing a board of direc
tors, which can only he done when one
half pf the capital stock has been sub
scribed. . . . The rieglect to show that
one-half of the capital stock had been
taken, or a board of directors elected,
was a failure to prove that plaintiff had
ever been organized as a do Jure corpora
tion; and as It could transact no business
In that capacity, until thus constituted,
there was an omission to prove a mater
ial averment of the complaint."
C. H. Abernethy. respondent, vs. Irl
Orton, appellant: ordered that respond
ent have until September 1 to file brief.

TIMBER LAND RUSH IX BAKER.
Railroad Talk Causes Many to Take
Up Claims.
BAKER CITY, July 14. Timber lands
In this section are being taken up rapidly.
It is estimated that along the line of tba
proposed railroad into the Counties of
Malheur and Harney, 20,000 to 23.000 acres
of land, well covered with timber, have
been located since the 1st of March.
Along this same proposed railroad there
are numerous mining locations, both
quartz and placer, that are only await
ing the advent of some means of cheap
transportation so that the owners can
proceed with their development. Some
of the best prospects In Eastern Oregon
are located in the heavily timbered coun
tryt or near it, and as lumber and ore will
furnish freight for a railroad, there Is
every Inducement to build the proposed
line.

JULY RUN OP FISH IS ON.
Average Well In Slxe, and Arc of
Number One Qnnlltr.
ASTORIA, July 14. What Is undoubted
ly the first of the July run of salmon en
tered the river with the change of the
moon and the favorable tides last even
ing. The fish are not quite as large as
those that have been running during the
past week, but they average good, and
their quality Is all that could be desired.
Among them are many of what are
known as humpback chlnooks, which al
ways accompany the regular July runs.
So far the ruri is only keeping the can
neries and cold-storage plants busy, and
no one is blocked, with the exception of
Llndenberger, whose tempting offer of 8
cents per pound brought him many fish,
causing him to stop receiving temporar
ily, and also to announce a drop in price
to 7 cents, while all the other cold-storage
plants are payng but 6 cents for big
fish.
From every quarter about the mouth of
the river reports of good catches by all
classes of gear are received, the glllnet
vtcrs getting from 400 pounds to a ton each.
Last evening Relchman Bros.' and Mc
Gowan's seining grounds at Sand Island
and Dcsdemona secured seven and three
tons, respectively, and at Alex Grant's
grounds, near the jetty, five tons were
caught at one haul. All the outside traps
In Baker's Bay and at Chinook made
good catches.

Heretofore the fish artificially propagated

that a continuous run can be maintained

Alleged Murderer Engages Detective
to Get Evidence for Ills Side.
SALEM. July 14. The trial of J. P.
Markley on the charge of murdering J. D.
Fain, at Champoeg, in the latter part of
June, was today postponed until the Octo
ber term of court. The defendant pre
sented affidavits in support of his motion
for continuance. In which it was alleged
that witnesses for the state are prejudiced
against him; that he has employed a de
tective to Investigate the circumstances
-
surrounding the murder in order that he
may b'e able to present his defense; that
the witnesses for the state refused to
make statement: when requested by the
detective to do bo, and that It will be
necessary to continue the Investigation
for some time In order to complete the
preparation of the defense. It was also
stated In affidavits for the defendant's
motion that It would be prejudicial to the
defense to state the nature of the testi
mony expected to be secured a a result
of the Investigation or to divulge the de
fendant's theory of the killing. It was
urged In behalf of the continuance that
the murders committed by Tracy and
Merrill have so excited the minds Of the
people that an Impartial trial of Markley
could not now be had. The District Attor
ney presented affidavits In which the prin
cipal witness for the state alleged that
the detective was a stranger to him, and
demanded statements in an Impertinent
manner: that ho replied that he had al
ready given hla statements In court, and
that the detective could get tho state
ment from the records. It was also denied
that any prejudice existed against Mark
ley. The motion was argued this morning,
and the continuance allowed.

MANYHOPS GO AT20 CENTS
SALEM FIRM MAKES PURCHASES
AT THIS FIGURE.
Nevrs From Other States Is Encoar-
aging-, to Oregon Growers Hop-
Dcaler on Octlook.
SALEM, July 14. Twenty cents for sev
eral 1902 hop crop has been paid in Ma
rion County, although the contracts have
not been filed. Buyers have been working
energetically, but quietly, and It la known
that thousands of bales of hops have been
contracted In the last few days. When
L L. Patterson predicted last Thursday
that hops would bring 20 cents on con
tract oefore Saturday night, there were
manj who scouted the Idea, but that
price has been paid to several growers by
Llllcnthal Bros., of New York, and they
have kept on buying at that price.
LIU tn thai Bros., through their repre
sentative, H. J. Ottenhelmer, of Sa.lem,
today eold a carload of the 1901 crop to a
local dealer at 20 cents per pound, 'lhls
Is the highest price at which hops have
sold In the bale since 1S92.
Llllenthal Bros, -were the heaviest oper
ators In the 1901 crop, as they are In the
growing crop, and they virtually own all
the 1901 hops left In Oregon. Their VMZ
contracts at 20 centa per pound hold the
record so far this eeason; In fact, thl Is
the highest price paid on contracts Ince
1SS0, at -which tme Oregon hops sold as
high as 40 cents. The Oregonlan's corre
spondent Is Informed that this firm has
paid 20 cents in the Yakima and Chehalla
districts In Washington as well as In the
Willamette Valley sections. Growers In
both states are quite excited over the re
cent advance, and a great many look for
still higher prices, and those growers who
have not already contracted all or a por
tion of their crop will, In all probability,
hold their hope until they are In the bale.
Hop-Denier on the Outlook.
In an Interview today, Mr. Ottenhelmer
stated that his firm was buying the new
crop extensively at 20 cents per pound.
Asked as to whether he believed prices
would go higher, and as to the cause of
the recent rapid advance In the hop mar
ket. Mr. Ottenhelmer said:
"It Is problematical to state whether
hora will go higher than 20 cents. This.
In Itself, Is a very high figure, and enables
growers to make "a good profit. It means
a clean profit of 12 cents per pound, or at
least 10CO pounds to the acre, 5120 per acre.
"The crop In England may Improve, In
which event prices will drop, and leave
some of the growers In the lurch. I be
lieve they should contract at least half
their crops at the present figure, which
will give them a profit, and the other half
to speculate on, the proceeds of which will
bo all profit.
"The advance in hops Is but what could
be expected by one who htsa followed! the
course of events. In the first place, the
consumption of beer has Increased to such
an extent In this country, that after ship
ping to England her usual quota of hops,
there la almcet a complete exhaustion of
1901 hop crop, while the stock of olds and
old olda Is completely wiped out. This
alone Is sufficient to cause good prices,
but on top of this tho New York State
crop Is suffering from a freeze, which
took place In May. It was generally sup
posed at that time that the crop would
recover, but, owing to subsequent un
favorable weather. It did not, and It Is
now estimated .that New York State s
crop will not.exceed 25,000 baleo. against
a normal crop of eo.000 to 70,000 bales.
"The reports from England are any
thing but encouraging, and recent cable
advices report cod weather In that coun
try, and that vermin are very thick. It
Is estimated that the English crop will
now only be half as large as In 1901. when
she produced CS0.O00 hundredweight; there
by causing the low prices that prevailed
last Fall."
Mr. Ottenhelmer furthermore stated that
If the Oregon grower would not become
careless and would let his hopo get ripe
and then take the best of care of them,
spraying now If necessary, there would
be no question about his being amply re
paid for the extra trouble.
encouragement From New York.
Manager James Wlnsthnlcy, of the Hop
growers' Association, has Just received a
letter from a friend In New York, saying
that the hop crop In that state will not
be more than one-fourth of the quantity
harvested last year. He advires Oregon
growers to hold their hops until ready for
market, and expresses the opinion that
the price will be at least 20 cents, and
may reach 50 cents. New York growers
are doing only so much cultivating as is
necereary to keep their yards In condi
tion for next season.
New Process of HopdryinK.
An English paper describes a new meth
od of hopdrylng as follows:
The means employfd for drjing are a disk
fan Ct inches In diameter, driven direct by
means of a steam engine, at from 4C0 to COO
revolutions per mlnut, capable of passing
through a layer of hops. 12 inches thick, about
tOCO or 5000 cubic ftet of air per minute. Thts
fresh air taken from the outside. Is driven
through or betw een a better of about 4C00 feet
of steam pipes, which are Incased in a steel
chamber leading to brick-built hot-air cham
bers underneath tha drying floor, rising through
the hops, and escaping through louvers In the
roof. 1
Tho hot-air flues between the battery of
steam pipes and the drying floor are provided
with an iron door, so that the whole of the
heated air can he diverted to either floor inde
pendently, or to the two floors simultaneously.
0.lng to the rapid change of air. there is an
absence of reek. labor is economised, the hops
are dried in half the time, have a bright golden
color, and it Is claimed that the nature or
quality of the hop Is retained with no trace of
arsenic or other poison, whilo the cost ot fuel
Is about one-half, becauso a cheaper quallty
can bo used, and a given floor space 13 capable
of a much larger output.
There have been reports today of offers
of 22 cents for contracts, but dealers do
not confirm the reports.
Adolph Wolf, of Sllverton, reports, the
purchase of SO bales of hops of 1901 at 20
cents. This la probably the same sale re
ported by Mr. Ottenhelmer.
Clackamas County Hop Contracts.
OREGON CITY. July 14. The following
hop contracts were filed with the County
Recorder today: Jasper Weston, of Sher
wood, to the A. J. Luse Hop Company, of
Oneida, N. Y., 10.000 pounds at U cents;
John EL Vinson, of Sherwood, to the
same company, 4000 pounds, at 11 cents.
LANE WILL HAVE GOOD HOP CROP.
Warm Weather Is Causing; the Vines
to Make a Remarkahle Growth.
EUGENE, July 14. The warm weather
of the past week has been causing re
markable growth of hop vines, and near
ly all growers now feel assured o a
good crop. Until the last week, however,
many growers were not at all confident
of 1 good crop. The wet weather of the
Spring Interfered with early cultivation
and low temperature retarded growth.
Now the conditions are more favorable
and the vines are making up for what
they lost earlier In the season.
All the growers will spray thoroughly to
kill tho lice. This they have done for
several years, but they will be more par
ticular this yeir. The fact of lice being
more numerous than last year has been
disputed by some, but J. P. CJheshlre, who
Is one of the most experienced men In
the business, and who raises -40,000 pounds
per year, says they are much more nu
merous than last year. He says that there
Is no greater danger of damage to the
crop, however, because the spraying will
kill them. Spraying will be -general the
latter part of this month and In August.
