light of the Twentieth Century."
the children of the late George Mc
Cart, wealthy pioneer farmer of Linn
County, began a fight among them
selves for his property through pro
ceedings Instituted in the State Cir
cuit Court for Linn County yesterday.
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Robinson, who
was recently appointed administratrix
of her father's estate, brought suit to
recover the property of the estate from
George A. McCart, her brother, who
holds the property by virtue of an ap
pointment as trustee made by his fath
er before his death. The value of the
estate is estimated at $25,000 in the
probate procedings but it is said to be
much : larger.
This is the second Interesting liti
gation over McCart's property, the first
occurring when a young woman he
married when he was over 70 years old
and after the mother of his children
had died, sued him for divorce here two
years ago. At that time the children
united in his defense but the' litigation
was stopped by a cash settlement out
of court. Mrs. McCart took this settle-
GLADSTONE PARK. July 16. (Spe
cial.) Denouncing in no uncertain
terms the social life of modern so
ciety women, and also scoring "cafe"
habitues of Portland, Dr. Matt S.
Hughes lectured before 2000 people at
Chautauqua this afternoon on "The Di
mensions of Life." .
The eloquent Callfornian, In turning
his guns on the gatherings of modern
society women, intimated that their
empty discussions were open confes
sions of Intellectual poverty, and that
the silly games participated in at the
afternoon gatherings would not even
be permitted from a first-class kinder
garten. "I dined at a cafe In Portland after
leaving here the other night," said Dr.
Hughes. "I saw your so-called 'high
life' there, and I want to say It was
far from appetizing even when served
up with beans."
Plea Made for Development.
Dr. Hughes' talk was a plea for the
mental, moral and spiritual develop
ment of man. "I believe It is really
more practical to tell how to make a
life than to tell how to make a living.
Do you realize that It Is life that gives
significance to time, and not time
wmcn gives significance to life? The
uimensions or life are then, time, in
the sense of length or space; breadth.
In the sense of heart breadth, breadth
of knowing and breadth of feeling, or
broadly speaking, breadth of educa-
.and the tnir1 and last dimension
Js height, or the mornt an BnMtilai
side of man which differentiates him
irom the lower animals." -
The speaker scoffed at the" Idea of
heredity and environment playing as
important a part In a man's career as
some would have us believe.
"Man never Inherited a habit. Speak
ing in the ideal way, we are not man
and woman; we are the raw material.
We may Inherit a weakness, but never
a habit. This influence of heredity
2nd tnTlronment ls greatly overdrawn.
The basis is often laid in heredity or
. environment, but the product never."
Attendance 1st Good.
Today Gladstone Park, under smiling
skies, was at its best, and the attend
ance was exceptionally good. All
classes of the Summer school boasted
of crowded audiences anj hi.

After being- at losrererheads since July

men later. These appointees will take
up their duties at once. C. L. Pep
per, who was selected by Mr. An
derson for City Attorney at the meet
ing July 7, but who was not confirmed
by the Aldermen, was appointed again
tonight and wa confirmed without the
dissenting vote of a Councilman.
The Mayor did not attempt to have
Mr. Pepper serve in a legal capacity
for the city - after the Council refused
to confirm his appointment, and no
fight was made over Mr. Pepper.
The strife between the executive and
the Council was over the selection of
Chief of Police, the four police officers
and Recorder. '
Before Mr. Anderson assumed the du
ties of Mayor he had an Informal meet
ing with the Councllmen over the mat
ter of appointments. They failed to
agre and when the executive thought
the Aldermen were trying to dictate to
him he declared that he did not need
their help in putting his appointees in
office, notwithstanding the city char

the Mayor shall be confirmed by the
majority of the Councllmen. The Al
dermen did not care particularly about

original appointees.

The new schedule, which went into
effect tonight, ls not claimed as a vic
tory by either Mayor or Council and
good feeling and harmony now exist
between the two. The Dalles people
are well pleased universally with the
officials selected tonight and It appears
that the only loser ls R. R. McDonald.

that Governor West will discharge Mc
Donald and the four members of his
force as special agents tomorrow.

Recorder, will succeed Edgar Hostetler,
the new Recorder, as assistant Asses
