i. ----------- ---
ALBANY, Or., July -(Special.) The
annual encampment or the Oregon Na
tional Guard closed today. The members
of the separate "battalion Of Baker City,
DaGraade and .The. Ualles left for; home
on the -early raornlns train. Tho compan
ies south left on the overland at 12:30,
the Signal Corps, of Corvallls, at 12:45
on the Oorvallla & Eastern, and the other
companies on a special train at 2 o'clock.
The work of breaking camp was quickly
and neatly done, the grounds being left
with nothing but the tall flag pole and
the beaten paths of the guards to show
lor the encampment.
The closing event pob a drill by the
26tfc Ught Artillery, "U. S. A.,o "Yancou
Ter, beginning at 8:30 o'clock this morn
ing. It was witnessed by a largo crowd
of people, the business houses of the

GUARDSME.V BACK FROM CA3IP.
It Wns Hot IVoxlr, but Wan Beneficial
to. Wbole Regiment.
The entire Third Regiment, O. X. G..
returned to Portland after the breaking
up of camp at Albany, arriving here about
fl o'clock last night. The separate battal
ion from Eastern Oregon arrived on the
morning train, and after spending the
day in Portland left about S o'clock for
their homes. All of the troops upon ar
rival here were marched in a body to
the Armor', and there dismissed and al
lowed to go to their homes. A short
timo after their arrival the streets were
filled with soldiers celebrating their home
coming, and in any direction one of the
khaki uniforms could be seen. The
Guardsmen say that they have enjoyed
the encampment, but do not forget to
emphasize the fact that they have had
some very hard work and some very dis
agreeable weather.
The officers aro well pleased with the
showing that the men have made, and
siy that. the way they broke camp is
proof -of tha work they have been doing
and can do. "I have never seen camp
broken In finer form than It was today,"
said one of the officers upon his return
last night. "At the first call of the bugle
lor breaking camp, everything was got
In readiness, aiyl - jnstantly, at the last
call, every tettt;mtnSground fell as If
from one lmOulseY''JSTera( second before
tents dottedTthe cpuntry lor gome, dis
tance around, now -nojt one could be
seen." t . ,
"The location could hav3 .hBcn better,"
Bald Gowral 0. Summers, who vJaUed the
camp during iha week, "but, the way In
which the, ca.njS,;'was laid out .and the
work.thst -was ntme5 do not thlfflt could
be improved: "upoji fef any extent. -The in
tense 'hea, during tbKcamjjnvjnt made
It bad". " iiany o 4ha vnen -were, -young
and frejsb fromtores, fir ome sort of
indoor work, and to thesd It was a severe
test. From a" .sanitary Standpoint the
camp was good. There -was little sick
ness, asido from tho prostrations from
the heat, and everything was clean and
neat. The ccrEroo.uiesOf review and pa
rade, in "battalion tontC are tiresome work
and are especially hard fo.r fresh men:
but what I saw svas, very gc-oct. The fact
that there was a, "ranch, derail work to
be done made the turn-out small, and for
tjals reason I think that regimental en
campments are preferable to brigade en
campments. The thing that the encamp
ment ought to teach them is to be able to
depend upon themselves. Tha system of
warfare today is not so- much, the mo
bilization of large bodles of men -as It Is
the pr6mpthes with which the men can
be brought into action and defend their
positions arid thdroselc. fiZfte -sentry
work' Is always a beneflt to tho men, and
the experience that tho clerical depart
ment has received has been of the ut
most value."
"'I am well pleased with the results of
the encampment," said General C. U.
Gantenbelnr "although I am very sorry
that we could not have had a longer
tijpe. .The, camp was well conducted, and
thp cpuilnqt Enirflr&as cas -good or
better than the average.' The ceremonies
were Fell performed, and there was- gen
- era! interest taken in tho work. The very
hot weather was an unfavorable circum-
Etance, but it could npt be helped, as the
hot spell was all over the state. The
presence of the Vancouver troops was a
good thing, and I think that the. close as
eoclatlon of the regular Army and the
volunteers is a condition that is to be de
sired." "Our encampment was very short," said
Colonel Everett, of Che Third Regiment,
Tut we had some very valuable work.
It has been hard work and has tested
the men severely. The extreme heat and
the unfavorable conditions under which
they have had to work has taken much
Irom the usual pleasure of such encamp
ixnents, but has not taken from the ex
1 cellenca of the worlL. The pitching of
j camp and the breaking up are experiences
tljiat they will .have to make "USU'Of often
l ihey'ever have any actual's&vloe. The
ground was rougn lor mardhlng, but It
I taught them what they will really need
it they have actual service."
POLITICS OF COUNTY OFFICIALS.
rfTreasurer the Only Office Entrusted
Largely to Republicans.
SALEM, July 2fc SpeclaL-The official
list of new county officers which has
been complied by Secretary of State Dun
' bar shows that the Democrats "were more
fortunate in electing candidates to coun
ty offices, than in landing their lavorltes
In state offices. Many of the County
Judges hold over Irom the election of
two years ago, but of the IS who were
elected last month, only seven aro Re
publicans. Nine are Democrats, or men
who wers supported by fusion movements.
Out of 32 County Clerks elected, 17 were
Republicans. Tlje Democrats were still
more fortunate In their efforts to put
members ol their party in -the Sheriff's, of- lepeclal act of Congress, applying to the

figes, lor th"ey landed 18 men, against the
Republicans 15. ThepeopTo were appar
ently not so willing 'to "trust the Demo
crats to handle the ' money bags, how
ever, lor they elected 23 Republicans and
only 10 Democrats. Out of 32 Coroners
elected, 24 are Republicans, and of the 31
new Surveyors, 21 are Republicans. The
Prohibitionists elected a Surveyor in Mar
Jon County, and a Commissioner Jn Shcr-
man County, but other than that, they
seem to have been unsuccessful. Clack
amas, Douglas and Multnomah Counties
aro tho only ones that now have straight
Republican county administrations. In
Multnomah tho Assessor "was also tho
nominee of the Citizens party. The
School Superintendents hold over from
the election of 1900.

RAILROAD AGAIN WINS
EATING-HOUSE COMES UNDER HEAD
OF "LEGITIMATE PURPOSES."
Wording of a Deed th Basis of the
Suit Trro Other Decisions nnd
Several Orders.
SALEM. July 22. (Special.) The Su
preme Court yesterday handed down three
opinions, as follows:
Maurice Abraham, administrator of tne
estate of Sol Abraham, deceased, appel
lant, vs. the Oregon & California Railroad
Company, Southern Pacific Company and
Catharine Clarke, respondents, from
Douglas County, J. W. Hamilton Judge;
affirmed. Opinion by Justice Bean.
This suit was brought to enjoin defend
ants from operating a hotel or eatlng
housa on land at Glcndale, conveyed to
the Oregon & California Railroad Com
pany "for all legitimate railroad, depot
and warehouse purposes." The def
was that tho maintenance of the hotel
Is and was necessary and convenient for
the use and operation of the railway. The
Supreme Court holds as a general rule
of law that "where hotelB or eating
houses appear to be reasonably necessary
for the convenience of its employes and
passengers, their maintenance Is a legiti
mate railroad purpose, even though the
hotel depends for a part of its patronage
upon the general public"
Applying this .rule to the present case,
the opinion says:
"Glendale Is a small station at the head
of Cow Creek Canyon. It Is at the foot
of a very difficult grade, where the com
pany Is obliged to keep helper engines
stationed to assist heavy trains over the
mountains. From Glendale to the mouth
of the canyon Is about 30 miles, along
which tho road runs through -a narrow
defile, making It expensive and difficult
to maintain. It Is necessary for the com
pany to keep a large force of .men con
stantly employsd In the canyon for the
purpose of patrolling and keeping the
road In Repair, who must necessarily
make their headquarters at Qlendale. In
addition to- this, frelsht and delayed pas
senger trains are accustomed to stop at
the station for meals. There s no other
station where employes or passengers of
the company can be accommodated with
meals between Riddle, some 33 miles
north, and Grant's Pass, about the same
distance south. The managers of the road
testify that It Is very desirable to have
an eating-house or hotel under the super
vision and control of the company at
Glendale, on account of the peculiar lo
cation of the town and the necessity of
providing board and loplglng for the
crews of the helper engines and freight
trains and men employed In patrolling
and keeping the road In repair, and pas
sengers traveling on Its trains."
It Is therefore held tnat tno mainte
nance of the hotel la a legitimate rail
road purpose within the meaning of the
deed conveying the land.
Mrs. Ij- R- Noblett and C. F, Zlegler,
respondents, vs. F. W. Durbln. appellant,
from Marion County, George H. Burnett.
Judge; affirmed. Opinion by Justice
Bean.
This action was commenced to recover
possession of certain horses, carriages,
etc, used in a livery stable business at
Hubbard. Plaintiffs alleged that they
were partners and were the owners of
th.e property and entitled to possession,
Durbln denied that Mrs. Noblltt was a
partner with Zlegler, but alleged that her
husband, W. Noblltt, was the real party
in Interest, and that he, as Sheriff., had at
tached W. Noblltt's interest by! taking
possession of the property. The lower
court having decided the case in favor of
plaintiffs, the defendant appealed.
In the Supreme Court several minor
matters of evidence were passed upon,
and it was held, among other things, that
section 9000 of the code, providing for the
filing of a list of her personal property
by a married woman, applies only to
property owned by the wife at the time
of her marriage, or afterward acquired by
bequest, inheritance, or gift of some per
son other than her husband. The statute
does not apply to property acquired by
purchase.
Elizabeth Robson, appellant, vs. Juliet
Hamilton, Mary M. Jones and John H.
Jones, respondents, from Linn County, R.
P. Boise, Judge; reversed and remanded.
Opinion by Chief Justice Moore.
This was a ault to Bet aside a deed to
real property and to subject the premises
to the satisfaction of a Judgment. It was
alleged by plaintiff that Mrs. Hamilton
conveyed the property to her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Jones, for the purpose of de
frauding her creditors. Mrs. Hamilton de
nied that aha conveyed the land for the
purpose of defrauding creditors, but al
leged that she conveyed It to her parents
In pursuance of an agreement whereby
they were to keep and educate her chil
dren and give her a home with them
when she so desired. Her parents were
to have the use of so much of the land
as shquld be left after a sufficient amount
had been conveyed to Mrs. Robson to pay
the Indebtedness to ber. Mr. and Mrs.
Jones denied the allegations of fraud, and
on their part alleged that Mrs. Robson
and Mrs. Hamilton had entered Into a
fraudulent agreement for the purpose of
getting' thft land away from them. They
alloged that the land was conveyed for
sufficient consideration and in good faith
upon their part In the court below the
plaintiff1 offered In evidence letters writ
ten by Mrs. Hamilton to plaintiff while
the latter resided In California In rela
tion to the controversy over the land, but
the court would not admit the evidence.
A statement made by Mrs. Hamilton to
tho notary at the time the deed was exe
cuted, and in her father's presence, to-l
the effect that she was In trouble, and
wanted to make tho deed in order to get
a, breathing spell, was ytlso excluded.
The Supremo Court holds that the let
ters should have been admitted -as -evidence
of tho fraudulent Intent, and that
the statement should have been admitted
as part of the res gestae. It Is also held
that although tho original transaction be
tween Mrs. Robson and Mrs. Hamilton
may have been In violation of mibllo nol-
Icy and therefore such as a court would
not enforce, yet the Judgment recovered
upon the original contract Is valid so far
as the question of public policy Is con
cerned and forms a basis for the suit.

STATE PAIR BOARD LOSES SUIT.
Paid Contractors " Faster Than
Agrrccd, Thus Releasing Scurotles.
SALEM, July 22. (Special.) Judge Bur
nett yesterday rendered a decision in the
case of tho State Fair Board vs. R. T.
Denham. F. P. Talklngton and J C.
Goodale, In favor of the defendants. Ac
cording to tho decision the Fair Board
loses $680 21 and expenses of the action.
Denham was a contractor and was em
ployed to erect several buildings at the
Fair Grounds. Talkfngton and Goodale
went on his bond to secure the perform
ance of the work according to contract.
Denham failed to complete the work and
left the state without settling his liabili
ties. The action was then brought
against the sureties to recover the amount
tho board lost by reason of Denham's de
fault. The sureties set up as a defense
that one of the conditions of the contract
was that the board should not pay the
contractor more than a certain per cent
of the amount earned until all tho work
was completed, but that the board had
violated the agreement and paid more
than tho proportion specified, whereby
the sureties were relieved of liability.
Judge Burnett took the defendant's
view of the case and held that although
the board was but $6S0 21 by reason ot
Denham's default. It could not recover
from the sureties for the reason that It
had paid the principal more than he was
entitled to receive upon his contract.

INDEMNITY UPRISING.
China Sends Thousands of Troops
but Cannot Suppress It.
BOSTON. July 22. As a result of the
attempt ot the government to collect a
tax with which to pay the Boxer indem
nity, according to a report to the Mis
sionary Herald, by Rev. F. M. Chapln. of
the American Board of North China Mis
sions, an uprising has taken place to the
west of Lin Chin. Rev. Mr. Chapln says
that thousands of troops have been sent
to suppress the uprising, but at last ac
counts they had not succeeded. Referring
to the affair, Mr. Chapln says:
"Near us, in the Hsla Chin country, we
have one village where Christian families
cannot return to their homes, the Boxers
still carrying their arms and refusing to
allow slid Christians to sell their land, as
they would gladly do. Southwest of Lin
Chin la quite a district wheTe the traveler
may feel certain he is to be robbed,
whether he has much or little. In that
region, kidnaping of the very old and
young Is a regular business. The convul
sion two years ago, by relaxing all re
spect for law and order, making It pos
sible for men to grow rich suddenly with
out labor, and to obtain money by rob
bery without fear of punishment, has dis
integrated society."
