Oregon Governor and Legisla
tors Visit Plant at Walla
Walla Penitentiary.
PENDLETON ENTERTAINS
AVeMon Has a Holiday Wlien the
Parly Arrives to Inspect the
Kar?tern Oregon Normal Sschool
at That Place.
PENDLETON, Or., Oct. CO. (SUiff
l"rjrre?poidPTire ) Whether Oregon
bnouM supplant Its stove foundry in
the Salem prison witn h jute, mill "its
Mud if ii tudiiy in the Walla Walla jute
plant of the WaMiington state prison
V.y Coviinor Chamberlain, of Oregon,
33 locmlx i s of the Oregon legislature,
('. W. Jam's, superintendent of the
Of son penitentiaiy, and others. While
the l.iu inakvi s have not expressed
their opinions nu the subjeet trt-ely,
it is rviririit that many of thi-m io
not favor the mane.
This is thu attitude also or Governor
Chamberlain and .Superintendent
J;:llO;-. They arpue that the stove
foundry brings to the state a revenue
tire us bis as a1 jule mill would do,
thai a jute mill would launeii the state
In a business which is in larec meas
ure speculative and risky and liable
to heavy looses because the raw pro
(Ini t irom India Is manipulated by a
trust; tnat the tinished baprs would be
sold to consumers near the factory,
thereby discriminating against others
not f;ivorrtd by proximity to the plant;
that Oreson a participation in the bus
iness would not regulate prices, be
cause it could make only 12 per cent
of the bass used, und the WashiuK
ton plant doubled in size could make
only per cent of the bass used In
th.it state; and that the change to a
jtite mill would entail upon the state
an expenditure of perhaps Sl.S.Oaa.
Argument for the Mill.
Tin- chief argument for the jute
mill is that manufacture of grain sacks,
unlike that of moves, does not eompeto
wtth free labor and that it gives far
mers sacks cheaper than the market
price.
Alter viewing the Walla Walla plant,
the visitors went to Weston to view
the Normal School at that place and
thence came to Pendleton, where they
attended a dinner and smoker tonight,
given by the Commercial Association.

Looms Are Set to Running.
The Oregon!. ms examined the jute mill
with keen Interest. It was not running,
beoau.w the day was one of Its alternate

by Governor Moqd and M. I". Klncaid, the
new superintendent.
At the Weston Normal School the party
was greeted by Robert C. Flench, presi
dent of that institution, and was led to
the assembly hall of the hool, where
some JtO students were gathered. Presi
dent French, to show that the Institu
tion nan not a local high school for
etston, asked the pupils residing in
Weston to arise, then those vlioie homes

addition are l'J young pupils in the train
ing department, all from WetUon. their

ment and jocularly said thai Governor

record and that ihey would be remember
ed when he should pasw upon the appropri
ation bill of the Republican Legislature,

inatilla. and J. 11. Haley, of Pendleton.
The town of Weston look an afternoon
holiday to receive the visitors. At the

IWHASITE DESTROYS CLOVER
Dodder Plant .Makes Its First Ap-
peurance in Polk Count.
MONMOUTH, Or., Oct. CO. (Special.)
There has appeared a new pe.st in this
county recently in the dorlier plant
among the clover fields. The dodder is a
red, clinging parasite, without leaves,
that springs from a seed, attaches itself
to the stem of the clover plant and
detaches itself from the peed or root. It
has a very slender tendril and wraps
about the stem and leaves of the plant.
gaining its nourishment from the clover
plant which in a little time dies.
It seemsMo be a hardy vigorous grower
and was first found in a field of Mr. J.
II. Mulkey just north of here: it is
thought to have been introduced in some
alfalfa seed that Mr. Mulkey got from the
riist.
Mr. Mahoney, the teacher of science in
the Normal School here. Is making a
careful study of the pest with a view of
finding an easy method of destruction.
Since the farmer.s have so largely turned
their attention to dairying the matter of
lasts. Knell as t hip, is one of very great
concern.

GETS HIS LAND BACK
Man Is Overreached in Trade
With Lawyer Turner.
SAVED BY SUPREME COURT
Opinion feays That Inference Is Cre
ated That Advantage Was
Taken of E. Owings' Age
and Infirmities.
SALEM, Or., Oct. SO. (Special.) At
torney H. H. Turner, of land-fraud
fame, was defeated in the Supreme
Court todtiy in the suit broucht against
him by E. Owings, who alleired that
Turner took advantage of his age and
menial weakness and by undue influ
ence and fraud procured a deed to cer
tain land belonging to Owings in
Marion County.
In the lower court Judpe Galloway
decided in favor of the plaintiff. At
the trial both Turner and the real es
tate agent who negotiated the deal
agreed in their testimony that Turner
made no representations as to the char
acter of the land'he traded to owings.
The Supreme Court says that notwith
standing this confirmatory testimony,
"we think that the inadequacy of the
consideration, when considered in con
nection with the plaintiff's mental
weakness, which his physical condi
tion denoted, together wit h certain
facts and circumstances associated witli
the whole transaction, sufficient to
create an inference that the defendant
exerted an undue influence over the
plaintiff in securing bis deed, which
prevented him from judging" accurately
and acting independently in the mat
ter!" The land owned by Owings was val
ued at $120. He put improvements on
the land received by him to the amount
of JliTi. and sold per sonal property to
the value of $.")0. receiving property and
money from Turner to the amount of
$49"i.7". The court orders a reconvey
ance, which will place the parties in
statu nno. The opinion was written
hy Justice Moore.
Proper Fees for Attorney.
The suit brought by James K. Ham
ilton, respondent, vs. Webster Holmes
and V. II. Holmes, appellants, from
Hen ton County, was reversed and dis
missed. The defendants were attor
neys for Anna Hamilton, now deceased,
in u divorce suit in which a settlement
of property rights was sought, and
they were to receive one-half the prop
erty secured as their fee.
James E. Hamilton, her heir, brought
suit to declare her deed a mortgage,
and for an accounting. He claimed that
$ur0 was a reasonable attorney fee, and
that the deed should be considered a
mortgage to secure this amount. The
land was of the value of about $2000.
The Supreme Court says that the
compensation which an attorney merits
and that which he can command for
his services depends upon the measure
of his knowledge of the law, the extent
of bis previous practice a nd whether
or not he had been successful in the
trial or settlement of causes and the
degree of his standing at the bar. At
torneys possessing these necessary
qualifications are sought after and em
ployed by clients who are able to pay
them fees that are commensurate witli
t heic education, integrity, ability and
tact, while attorneys who have not es
tablished for themselves such a reputa
tion generally fail to secure a lucra
tive practice.
The court holds that since the com-,
pensation depended .upon the amount
of property secured, the fee would be
expected to be greater than where pay
ment is fixed and certain in any event.
The court does not find that the fee
was unreasonable or that there was
any evidence of improper influence.
Judge Hamilton tried the case in the
court below. The opinion on appeal
was by Justice Moore.
Not a (Gambling Transaction.
The case of Overbeck, Starr & Cooke
Company, respondents, vs. J. C. Rob
erts, appellant, from Multnomah Coun
ty. John H. Cleland, Judge, was af
firmed in an opinion by Chief Justice
IJean.
This was a suit by brokers to recov
er a balance due on the sale and pur
chase of cotton. In the Supreme Court
the defendant argued that this was a
deal in "differences, and not in cotton,
and that it is therefore a gambling
transaction and should not be enforced
by the courts. The Supreme Court
says there is no allegation in the plead
ings and o evidence submitted that
this was other than a bona hde pur
chase and sale, and the court has no
reason to find it otherwise.
Validity or an Attachment.
K. W. Haines, respondent, vs. J. W.
Conncl. Sheriff, and J. F. Schock. ap
pellants, from Washington County; T.
A. M Bride. Judge; reversed ami dis
missed. Opinion by Chief Justice
Bean.
Held, that a notice of attachment
need not contain the names of the par
ties as a caption, provided the body of
the instrument contains the names.
ADVISED TO COMPROMISE.
Attorney-General Suggests Plan for
Agreement With Kenton.
Ol.YMPIA. Wash.. Oct. 30. (Special.)
The Attorney-General's office has advised
the county authorities to settle their dis
pute as to a division of county finances
between Yakima, the parent county, and
Kenton, the new county, along the follow
ing lines:
The Auditors are to eliminate from the taxes
levied all etate and pec.al taxes, make a rea
sonable allowance for such as will not be col
lected and fur the civte of collection and de
termine therefrom the net amount of taxes for
general county purposes. This amount may be
deducted from the net indebtedness. By the net
indebtedness we mean that rrnixining after
deducting any outstanding indebtedness charge
able aga'nt property that falls in either
county. This will leave the amount of the in
debtedness to be a pport ioned ae provided tn
th act creating Benton County.
The opinion admits that this proposed
settlement is not in strict accordance witli
law. hut that existing laws are contra
dictory, and suggests that this plan will
work justice between the counties.
LIMIT FOR MANSLAUGHTER.
Judge Erater Makes an Example of
Mike Matteuce.
SEATTLK. Oct. . (Special) Because of
a long series of murders, beginning with
George ..litchell's shooting of Joshua'
Creflield. the Holy Roller leader, and ex
tending through Mitchell's own killing
after his acquittal and the slaying of
Judge ti. Meade Kniory by a lovesick
I boy. Superior Court Judge A. W. Krater
yesterday imposed the extreme penalty of
2i years' ini prist mmcnt upon Mike Mat
teuce. who pleaded guilty to a charge of
manslaughter. At the same time the court
announced that any person convicted of
homicide before him would be given an
extreme sentence. Judge FYater declared
drastic action necessary for the good of
the county and state.
Mike Matteuce was a guest at a hous
party at Ravensdale two months ago. He
was sent away by Mary Firpo. the hos
tess, but returned with a revolver and
after an altercation shot the woman, who
died almost instantly. Matteuce claimed
another Italian attacked him and he drew
his revolver in self-defense. Mrs. Firpo
was said to have stepped in between the
two and to have been accidentally killed.
The prosecuting attorney did not com
bat an appeal by Matteuce's attorney for
clemency and the woman's husband was
Hot willing to prosecute him. But the
court insisted an example had to be made
of someone.
British Vice-Consul Buncoed.
SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 30. (Special.)
British Vice-Consul Bernard Pelly is
the victim of a professional hotel-beat,
Sidney Deacon, who professed to be a
British naval officer, and induced the

and with this as an opening wedge, he
passed a series of fraudulent checks
upon the Hotel Butler. Cecil Hotel, the
Savoy, Al Singer and the Canadian Pa
cific. Deacon claimed to be a Lieuten
ant in the British navy, and convinced
the British Vice-Consul of his genuine
ness. Telegraphic inquiries from Vic

PLUGS TO STAY IN SLOTS
SKATTLB7S MAYOR SAYS NO
GAMBLING WILL BE ALLOWED.
Attempt to Vse Office for Political
Purpose Is Denounced in a
Public Statement.
SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 30. i Special.)
Mayor William Hickman Moor today
denounced attempts to use his office for
political purposes, insisting that there
can be no trading on the orders he gave
that slot machines, gambling and other
law infractions must cease. The state
ment is sensational, for it upsets a pro
gramme the Democrats had of trailing
Charles A. Reynolds into the office o
County Attorney. Reynolds has been
proclaiming an ability to reintroduce the
slot machines and has been pledging sa
loon and cigar men that he would do so.
Mayor Moore said:
The Mayor's office and the polli-e depart
ment cannot be usd as a trading proposi
tion by any man, woman or rnhd or by any
politk-al party or any politician. We're nut
in the buniness of swapping: concessions of
any kind for votes on election riHy.
If any candidate for office is promising
reward from this office or the police de
partment to those who will support him at
tlie polls he is doing so- without my consent
and without my knowledge and is tilling a
plain falsehood about any alleged agreement
with me. No man on eartn can deliver such
goods.
No matter which political party may win
at the approaching election or what indi
vidual may he proteciitinK attorney or
Sheriff, the policy outlined by this adminis
tration and now being enforced will not be
changed one lota. Gambling will be pro
hibited a it now is, saloons will continue
to close from 1 A. M. to 5 A. M., slot ma
chines will not he allowed and tiie saloon
box ordinance will he enforced strictly ac
cording to the ordinance.
t'hief of Police Wappcnstein has his stand
ing orders regarding these forms of law
breaking and he understands them. He will
continue to enforce them and clean up the
city as we started out to do.

AWFUL PSORIASIS
3& YEARS
Terrible Scaly Humor In Patches
All Over the Body Skin Cracked
and Bleeding Itching Unbear
able Cured by Cuticura in Thirty
.Days at Cost of $4.75.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA
"I -was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. It was in patches all
over my body.
I usea three cakes
of Soap, six boxes
Cuticura Oint
ment, and two
bottles of Cuti
cura Resolvent. I
bathed with tha
Soap, applied th
V'1C Ointment once a
Wrt Wday, and took tha
h4tiJX) Resolvent as di
rt rrrted. In thirty
dcys I was completely cured, and I
think permanently, as it was about five
years ago.
"The psoriasis first made its appear
ance in red spots, generally forming a
circle, leaving in the center aspot about
the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh.
In a short time the affected circla
would form a heavy dry scale of a whita
Eilvery appearance and would gradually
drop off. To remove the entire scales
by bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a
light discharge of bloody substance
would oozeout. That scalycrustwould
form again in twenty-four hours. It
was worse on my arms and limbs, al
though it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If I let the
scales remain too" long without remov
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. I suffered
intense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
y exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable.
"To sum it all up, I would not go
through such another ordeal of affliction
for thirty-five years for the State of
Kansas, (signed) W. M. Chidester,
Hutchinson, Kan., April 20, 1905."
