FRIENDLY SUIT ARGUED Non-resident of State Petitions for Writ of Mandamus, Compelling Official to Record Deed on Bank Holiday. Mavdamus proceedings to compel Coun ty Clerk Fields to receive deeds, mort gages and other like instruments for fil ing on bank holidays were argued yes terday in the United States Circuit Court. Judge Wolverton took the matter under advisement .after hearing the lawyers on both sides of the question. A decision probably will be rendered today. The proceeding: was a friendly suit brought by A. Bumham, of Vancouver, Wash., a non-resident of this state, through his attorneys. Coovert & Staple ton. Deputy District Attorneys Moser and Adams appeared for the defendant. The specific complaint against the County Clerk set forth in the petition for a writ of mandamus Is that C. II Fields con veyed lot 7, In Hazelwood. Multnomah County. Or., to Burnham yesterday for VMO. appearing before Notary W. H. Mall, and that when the deed was pre vented at the County Clerk's office at 2 oZWock yesterday afernoon for filing Clerk Fields refused to record It on the ground thnt It was a legal holiday. The pe titioner holds that the recording of a deed is a ministerial, not a Judicial act, and that the Clerk's action was unwar ranted. Mr. Moser Interposed a motion to strike the petition from the flies because It was not duly verified as required by law, yes terday being a holiday, and demurred to the petition on the ground that It did not set forth facts sufficient to sustain the writ. Attorney Coovert, for the petitioner. then cited the laws covering the duties of the County Clerk on holidays. Section 3918, of Bellinger & Cotton's Code, pro vides that any day appointed by the Governor shall be a legal holiday. Sec tion 1006 Is a general law referring to all county clerks In Oregon. It was passed In 1S62, and provides that the county clerks of the state Bhall keep their of fices open for the transaction of business on every Judicial day from 8 o'clock to 12 In the morning, and from 1 to E In the afternoon. Section 2575 is a law passed In 1S87, whloh provides that "the County Clerk of Multnomah County shall keep his of fice In such rooms In any building at the County Seat which the Cpunty Court may order; he shall keep his of flee open for the transaction of business on every day, excepting Sundays, New Tear's day. Fourth of July, and Christmas, from 8 o'clock In the forenoon until B o'clock in the afternoon. Such officer shall have power to take and certify the proof and acknowledgment of conveyances of real property, or of any other written Instru ments authorized or required to be proved or acknowledged." Slakes Nice Distinction.- No reference Is made In this section of the code to clerks outside this county, and nothing Is Bald about holidays whioh might fall upon days other than those named. Attorney Coovert said a very nice dis tinction Is made between ministerial and judicial acts, and that he was unable to say just where the line was drawn, but that there was no question but that the recording of deeds, mortgages and such Instruments Is a ministerial act. Mr. Coovert held that there Is a difference be tween County Clerks In other counties than Multnomah and the clerk of this county in that the offices of tue others may be kept closed If the clerks choose to do so. although all acts which the clerks might perform would be legal. He cited the court to the Constitution, which has never conferred judicial powers upon county clerks, arguing therefor that their acts cannot be judicial acts. Section 946 of the code also cited by Attorney Coovert, relates to the powers and duties of Justice Courts, and reads as follows: The court! of Justice may be held and judicial business transacted on any day. ex cept as prorlded in this section. N'o court can be opened, nor can any judicial business be transacted on Sunday, nor on a day ap pointed by the President of the United States or by the Governor of this state ae a day of fasting, thanksgiving, or holiday, except for the following purposes: First To give Instructions to a jury then deliberating on their verdict. Second To receive the verdict of a Jury. Third For the exercise of the powers of a magistrate In criminal actions, or proceedings of a criminal nature. Whenever any non Judicial day is created by this act, except Sundays, falls upon a Sunday, the next Mon day shall be and be observed ae such non Judicial day. Mr. Adams said the County Clerk's of fice has remained closed during the present holidays upon the advice of the District Attorney's office.

FIRE liJ I BOX FACTORY DISCHARGED IiABORKRS SUS PECTED OF INCENDIARISM. considerable street work recently ln Itlated" Is being held up by the bank holidays. Recently a big lot of new street work was started, and the pre liminaries were being worked out when the holidays came along. Otherwise there Is no Inconvenience to the St. John city government. DIES AFTER TAKING BATH Firemen Save Plant of Multnomali Box & Lumber Company. Loss ?5000. Discharged "Italian laborers are alleged to have set a fire In the yards of the Multnomah Box & Lumber Company, at the foot of Bancroft street, that did damage to the extent of 5000 to the dock, the stock of material and the mill plant last night. Firemen from Engine No. i so reported to Chief Campbell and It Is said that the matter may lead to arrests. After the fire was under control. F. A. Douty, secretary of the company, said that it was started from a cigar stump, which had been carelessly thrown Into the .sawdust In the yards, but from evi dence discovered later, the firemen are certain that an attempt was made to burn the plant and that It was made by Italians who had been discharged from their positions but recently by the firm. A strong breeze fanned the flames and for a time It looked "as though the whole plant would be destroyed. The alarm was turned In at 6:15 o'clock. The flreboat George H. Williams and six land companies responded to the alarm and were assisted by the mill's Are department, which was In action before the city's firemen arrived. A large num ber of men living In the" neighborhood, who had gathered out of curiosity, ren dered valuable aid to the department. Booms of logs anchored about the, dock made It a difficult matter for the fire boat's crew to get Into action, but Sec retary F. A. Douty, of the mill company, praised the work of the firemen after tbey had put out the fire. He said they did excellent work in saving the big plant and the dock, with a large lot of lumber. Secretary Douty said the company's loss is nearly covered by Insurance. The damage was confined to the dock . and lumber In the yards and to the belting and pulleys In the mill, whioh were In jured by water. The mill will not be compelled to shut down for repairs.

It's economy for every Portland family to eat Smith's absolutely fresh Oregon meats, not only because they are so exceedingly cheap but because they are so royally good. At Smith's you will meet many of Portland's, physicians selecting meat for their family table. These men know the terrible chances one takes in eating the Beef Trust's cold-storage, ice-car meats they won't take the risk they eat Smith's meats. Every ounce of Smith's meat is Oregon meat, and it is weighed upon the kind of scales you can readily see and understand.
