LOVE'S WILIj IS EXPLAINED
Judge Bronaugh Tells How Estate
Should Be Disposed OT.
Judge Bronaugh handed down a de
cision in the Circuit Court yesterday con
struing the Intent of Lewis Love when
he made, in 1902, a codicil to his will.
The latter gave to Green C. Love, Fred
D. Love and Mary C. Stafford property
valued at approximately 1200,000 each.
The property was distributed in 1907.
Judge Bronaugh held that Lewis Love
intended in his codicil to provide that
Fred D. Love and Mary C. . Stafford
should own their respective portions of
the estate untrammeled by any interest
on the part of wife or husband in either
case, and that what property is left
shall go to their heirs when they die.
He also decided that Lewis Love intend
ed in his codicil to make provision for
the possible death of Green C. Love be
fore the distribution of the estate in
1907, and that the estate having been
distributed. Green C. Love's title is ab
solute. The codicil provided that in case
Green died before January, 1907, his por
tion of the estate was to go to the other
two heirs. Because of the ambiguity of
the codicil Green has been prevented
from making improvements on his por
tion of the estate, located near Wood-lawn.

All Town's Prepare for the
Portland Excursion.
WILL START ON MAY 10
Many Places to Be Visited by Local
Business Men Are Making Ex
tensive Arrangements to En
tertain . Guests.'
The Portland Business Men's excursion
promises to be the one great event of in
terest in every town through which it
passes to judge by the volume of letters
and telegrams received from towns prof
fering hospitality. So effusive have they
been that in the office of A. D. Charl
ton, assistant general passenger agent
for the Northern Pacific, was a pile of
communications a foot high. Every com
munication represented some town wish
ing to force hospitality upon the visitors.
At the Commercial Club the situation was
just as pronounced.
In the list, of names published yester
day were many of the older generation
of business men men who remember the
building of the N. P. from Seattle to
Portland. One of these was in Mr. Charl
ton's office talking like a boy about the
excursion. "Yes. sir," he said. "I have
never been through that territory since
the days of the stagecoach. Behindhand,
am I? Well. I've been far too busy
watching my business grow to watch the
country. The truth Is, I don't know a
single thing about the Grays Harbor
country, and. of course. I have never been
over the North. Bank."
Tom Richardson told of many others.
HELPS SPREAD DISEASE
It Is a murderous practice to spit in
public places. The germs of consump
tion are often present in the sputum
carelessly deposited on the street or
sidewalk. The sputum dries, is ground
into powder by passing traffic and the
garms are then whirled about in the
air for healthy people to breathe. If
the lungs are sore from coughing or
other causes, the germs thus inhaled
fasten on the sore spot and set up what
is called "mixed Infection."
No precaution should be neglected to
quickly check a cough or cold. Much
of the sickness to which we are sub
ject has its origin in the "common
cold." To break up a cold quickly the
following simple -formula is recom
mended: Take two ounces of Glycerine,
a half-ounce of Virgin Oil of Pine
compound pure and eight ounces of
good Whisky. Mix thoroughly and
take a teaspoonful every four hours.
It is claimed that this mixture, which
provides a quantity sufficient to last
the average family an entire year, will
break up a cold in twenty-four hours,
and cure any cough that is curable. It
is better to purchase the ingredients
separately and prepare the mixture at
home.
The genuine Virgin Oil of Pine com
pound pure is prepared only by
Leach Chemical -Co., Cincinnati, O.. and
is put up only in half-ounce vials, each
vial securely sealed in a round wooden
case o Insure its freshness, and purity.
"They are just like boys." he said.
"Everybody is so enthusiastic that we
are kept answering phone calls all day.
They want to know just what we are
going to do, and, of course, I can't tell
them all at once. But it's surprising
the number of old fellows don't quote
me as calling them old who have never
been over the route since they passed
through by stagecoach."
Has Prepared Booklet.
The N. P. has issued a smart little
booklet describing the excursion. The
edition is strictly limited, and only those
going on the excursion will receive the
souvenir. Copies will be presented to
the different organizations visited and to
people of special prominence met by the
business men.
The first page of the booklet is occu
pied with an address to the town visited.
It says:
"As business men of Portland, we are
advised of the progress being made by
the people of the State of Washington,
but we desire to give ourselves the pleas
ure of seeing it personally and meeting
you. our neighbors, face to face.
"We come to renew old acquaintances
and make new ones.
"We come as commercial representa
tives of the chief city of ;the incomparable
Columbia, of which Washington owns
more than Oregon.
"We come dirring-this pre-Exposltion
period to again thank you for joining in
making the Lewi3 and Clark Centennial
Exposition the most substantially bene
ficial of all the efforts in that direction
anywhere in the United States.
"We come to assure you that we have
the same interests as yourselves in doing
everything in our power to make the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific a surpassing suc
cess. "The week of May 10-15, 1909. spent in
visiting many points In the 'Evergreen
State," will certainly be advantageous to
us, and we feel that this getting to
gether of the people of the Pacific North
west should become a habit."
Only Four Chances Left.
AH but four reservations for the trip
have been made, and application for these
must be made today to Tom Richardson
or to A. D. Charlton.
Towns along the route are even now
resorting to threats to get the business
men to take lunch or dinner with them.
A letter from Elma, Wash., says the
business men are crazy to entertain the
visitors for 45 minutes. "We are going
to prepare lunch for them, too." We have
raised all the funds necessary and we
want you to wire that you'll be here to
eat with us." says the letter. The threat
follows: "If you don't eat with us, I am
afraid the reception will fall rather flat."
' It was explained to Elma that abso
lutely rigid preparation and engagements
prevented stopping for lunch, but in def
erence to the feelings of the Elma com
mercial men, the stay .was lengthened to
30 minutes, making the stop one of the
longest on the trip.
