BAll ASSOCIATION COASlUUib
INCREASE OF JVDGES.
Members Hint That Tersonal Mo
tives Influence Some Who Support
Bill for Proposed Change.
The Multnomah Bar Association may
rescind its action favoring the Increase
In the number of Multnomah County Cir
cuit Judges from four to six. At its
meeting Thursday night a motion was
passed appointing a committee of three to
wait upon Judge Henry E. McGinn, with
an invitation to speak on the subject at
the next meeting of the association. This
wlil be held at 8 P. M. Thursday, Jan
uary 1.
It Is suspected by members of the Bar
Association that some of those favoring
the Increase of the Judgeship do so with
an object. Tho resolution favoring me i
Increase was placed before the associa
tion Octoler 27, 1908. by Dan J. Malarkey.
George W. Joseph made a motion last
right to rescind that resolution, but
action thereon was postponed until the
meeting next Thursday. W. M. Davis
said last night that he did not like to see
the association used for ulterior motives.
Attorneys Wright, McDevitt and Clark
having been appointed at a former
meeting to report upon the corrupt prac
tice act. Mr. Wright told of Its provisions
Inst night. Ke said he talked with W.
S. U'Ren, one of the fathers of the law,
and found It was patterned after the
Knglish law. the laws of Ontario, Massa
chusetts, Ohio, New York and Califor
nia also having been considered In Its
framing.
Mr. Wright said that in three particu
lars the new law Is different from any
other. It provides that no candidate
may run for office In bad faith, that the
state pay for certain campaign litera
ture, of either party, and for the pun
ishment of political criminal libel.
George & Shepherd presented to the
association a proposed bill to modify the
present nonsuit law. It was drawn by
State Senator Abraham, of Roseburg.
The legislative committee reported fa
vorably on three bills, relative to the
manner of challenging Jurors, Instruc
tions to Jurors and the making of deeds
and conveyances by notaries. The re
port was accepted. The committee con

LL 'cold storage stuff today!" was
the greeting at one of the leading
markets visited yesterday. Certainly the

spite of weather conditions and the
temptations of the telephone, is likely at
first glance to experience some Mother
Hubbard-llke emotions. With all the
fruit and green vegetables indoors and
under cover, ' the cupboard" looks bare
Indeed: but, as a matter of fact, almost
everything that was to be had last week
Js still available, though prices are in
clined to be higher, especially on poultry,
eggs and fresh vegetables. Veal Is "way
up" and lamb and pork are Inclined to
follow suit. Cheaper cuts are unchanged
in price, but an choicer meats tend to
be more expensive. Chickens for in
stance cost 2w to -5 cents a pound; broil
ers. 35 cents. Turkey is still about 30
cents, but goose costs about 25 cents and
the best ducks are up to 30 cents.
Columbia Hirer smelt was about 10

costs 40 cents; other salmon costs 15
cents. Crabs are very scarce; but a good

DJURYIND1GTS
Miss Katharine Goodson, the English
pianist, who is to be heard here Monday

Svmphony Orchestra at tlve Masonic
Temple Hall, is not only an artist of the
very foremost rank but a woman of ex
ceptional grace and charm. Her home
4
ij in St. John's Wood in the artistic
center of London, and it is a rendezvous
for celebrities of every kind. Miss
Goodson Is as great an artist of color
as of music, as is ehown by the scheme
of decoration throughout the house. It
formerly belonged to a well-known sculp
tor, whose studio now serves as the
music-room. Nothing more full of re
pose can be Imagined than this room
with Its white walls and brown dado,
with pink silk curtains and Dutch lat
ticed windows looking out on a peaceful
garden.
The studio Is furnished with a raised
platform, upon which are dovetailed two
grand pianos, and on the wall of this
alcove are hung Innumerable autographed
photographs of all the great musicians
of the day. A door leads from the studio
into the pretty garden, and Miss Good
son, who Is very fond of gardening, may
often be seen here in the afternoon (she
always devotes the morning to study)
grubbing about among her flowers. It is
especially attractive In Summer, with an
awning and an Inviting hammock.
No more ideal home than this could be
Imagined for one who has to get through
as much work as Miss Goodson. Her
energy and vitality can best be under
stood when one realizes that she only re
turned to America last April, whero.
besides many recitals, she made a re
cord in having more orchestral engage
ments than any other artist has ever
had in one season.
BUYS CONTROL OF MINES
SAMVEIi XEWHOUSE TAKES
OVEK RAINBOW GROUP.
Capitalist Will Install Big Stamp-
Mill to BeTelop Rich Property
lo Baker County.
Tt develops that the recent visit of Sam
uel Newhouse, the famous mining mag
nate, of Salt Lake City and New York, to
Oregon was for the purpose of securing
the controlling Interest in the famous
Rainbow group of mlnea in the Baker City
district in Eastern Oregon. Tho property
hurt formerlv belonned to the Commercial
Mining Company, of Portland, and the
deal was made at the Portland Hotel on
Thursday night, whereby Mr. Newhouse
secures the controlling interest in these
valuable properties by taking over 250,000
shares of treasury etock In addition to
750.000 shares of common etock, giving him
the maioritv interest in the Rainbow
mines. The terms of the sale require that
Mr. Newhouse must Install an electric
nlant caoable of operating a mill employ
ing from 100 to 100 stamps, and the equip
ping of the plant with entirely new ma
chinery. Negotiations have been under way for
Fome time, but it was only recently that
Mr. Newhouse became convinced of the
value of the properties through the report
of Augustus Mathez, a well-known mining
expert whom he detailed to inspect ana
report upon the mines. This report con
vinced Mr. Newhouse of the genuineness
of the claims made by the owners, and
he decided to Invest in the enterprise.
The fact that Mr. Newhouse has In
vested In Oregon mines presages a new
era in the state's mining enterprises and
means much for the future of mining in
Oregon and In fact the entire Northwest.

ranging from 38 cents to $25.
Claimants Working People.
' The accounts paid yesterday ranged
from $26 to $250, and the claimants were
mostly working people who found the
money more than welcome. From the
opening of the bank at 9 A. M. till the
closing at i P. M., a line of people was
drawing interest and getting its orders on
Mr. Ladd for the principal. In return,
all these signed receipts and assigned
their rights and claims to jir. Ladd. All
payments on principal or dividends were
made at the Ladd bank.
$400,000 Already Paid Out.
Ten tellers, under personal direction of
Receiver Howard, were kept busy hand

paid out was given last night.
Thus far payment of $400,000 has been
provided for under Mr. Ladd's three-year
guarantee. The next dividend will be to

EXPLOSION IN BASEMENT
Furnace In East Side Dwelling
Blows Vp With Great Force.
With a loud report which startled and
frightened the family and shook tha
house on its woundatlon the furnace in
the basement of the cottage at 661 Kast
Burnslde street, occupied by J. F. Bert
rand, at II o'clock yesterday morning,
was completely wrecked by an explnslon
Coal and wood were being burned in the
furnace, and when Mr. Bertrand went
to his place of business apparently it
was perfectly secure.
Mrs. Bertrand and her children were
In the houtie when the explosion oc
curred, and at tlrst were so frlRhtened
that they hardly knew what to do. They
finally called the fire department. The
explosion scattered the tire in the fur
nace so that for a short time the base
ment was filled with blaze and smoke,
but the fire did not communicate with
the woodwork, and was quickly extin
guished without any damage being done
to the house.
When tho smoke had cloared away it
could be seen that the furnace had been
completely wrecked. The big iron drum
was torn and broken by the force of the
explosion. Above the furnace the floor
was somewhat blackened. The explosion
was probably caused by the accumulation
of gas from the coal. The damage was
contined to the wrecked furnace, and
was about $50.
