Public Service Commission Will
Hold Session at Sutlierlin.
ROSEBURG, Or., Sept. 1. (Special.)
Members of the Public Service Com
mission will meet tomorrow at Suther-
lin and take evidence In the action
brought by the land owners there who
ask to be relieved from paying the J
I. L.use Land Company $3.50 an acre
for irrigating purposes.

much of the land in Sutherlin Valley
does not need irrigation, and that
water is not available for many other
tracts. "During several months of the
year," says the petition, "water could
not be secured for irrigation purposes
even though the owners of the land
were willing to pay the assessmen
against their property."
Local attorneys will represent the
land owners and the Luse Land Com
pany.

Property Accepted by Client on Fam
ily Rather Than Legal Advice,
He Says, Speaking; of Cbarc.
Allan R. Joy, a Portland lawyer, yes
terday issued a statement In reply to
allegations in a suit filed against him
m the Circuit Court last Tuesday. In
the suit, which was filed by Philomina
Bolter, Mr. Joy was charged with com
pelling her to accept worthless prop
erty in satisfaction of a Judgment of
$1875.15, while he received two auto
mobiles and some bonds turned over
by the losing litigant. Mr. Joy said:
1 feel that a great injustice was
done me in the publication of the alle
gations made in this suit "without men
tion of the merits of the other side.
"In the case referred to the judgment
debtor was insolvent had no assets
except some unsalable junk of little
value, and it was only through my
timely efforts that anything was realized.
"My client took several days to ex
amine the property and acted solely
upon the judgment and advice of rela-
ves and not on mine In accepting it-
All other statements and insinuations
are absolutely untrue, as will be shown
in due time. If property values have
dropped in the past three years it cer
tainly is not my fault.
"The amount retained by me for my
services was of insignificant value and
unmarketable, but if considered too
much I have offered several times to
arbitrate the matter in any manner
that could be suggested, or to take over
the entire property at a fair valuation.
and am still willing to do this, as w
well known before bringing this suit."
APPEAL RUSH STOPPED

CASES.
BOOTLEGGER
Attorneys Are Warned Against "Riding
Good Horse Too Far," After Com
ment on Their "Nerve.
"You attorneys have a lot of nerve!'
was the disgusted comment of Circuit
Judge McGinn yesterday, when Attor
ney W. C. Campbell appeared with an
eleventh-hour petition for a writ of
habeas corpus to get Edward Von ISuw,
convicted bootlegger, out of jail.
"Take it before Judge Davis," he con
tinued. "You don't want to ride a
good horse too far. Because I have
been lenient with some of the men
who have run counter to the prohibition
law, every attorney for every bootleg
ger recently sentenced in lower courts
has been trying to have his case set
before me on appeal. It won't do. I
don't want to handle Judge Davis'
cases."
But a few hours before Judge Mc
Ginn had refused to have anything to
do with the case of Daisy Gordon, ap
pealed by W. M. (Pike) Davis.
But yesterday afternoon Attorney
Davis proved to Judge McGinn that
five days had elapsed since the filing
of his appeal. This rule was dispensed
with in the case of Mrs. C. W. Mont
gomery, which is to be tried this
morning. The Daisy Gordon case will
also be disposed of this morning.
Republican State Committee
Wants Californian for
PLEA FOR BORAH DENIED
Hope of Colonel Roosevelt Coming
Not Entirely Abandoned, but
Noted Campaigners Are Being
Kept for Doubtful States.
Hiram Johnson, Governor of Califor
nia and the Progressive and Republican
nominee for United States Senator in
that state, was Invited yesterday to
come to Oregon to make a series of ad
dresses for Hughes and Fairbanks.
The invitation was extended by the
speakers' bureau of the Hughes cam
naiern committee, which held a meet'
ing in the state headquarters in ine
Selling building. A telegram was sent
to Governor Johnson last night, roi
lowed by a letter urging him to come
and allowing 'him to select his own
dates.
The speakers' bureau also considered
other Diana for an active and ag
gresslve campaign in every county of
the state. S. S. Smith, of Medford,
chairman of the bureau, presided. Other
members present were: C. L. McNary,
of Salem, Republican state chairman;
David L. Povey and Frank H. Lewis, of
Portland, and Thomas Tongue, Jr., of
Hillsboro. The chairman, appointed
Edward D. Baldwin, Btate secretary, as
an additional member of the speakers
bureau. It was decided that Chairman
Smith and Secretary Baldwin should
make arrangements for speaking dates
in the counties of the state outside of
Multnomah and that Messrs. Povey
Lewis and Tongue should co-operate
with the Multnomah County committee
regarding sneaking arrangements in
Portland and Multnomah County.
Washington Statesmen Asked.
Invitations were extended to Repre
sentative W. E. Humphrey, of Seattle,
and Senator Miles Poindexter, of Spo
kane, to make one or more speeches in
Oregon in .October, provided their
speaking dates in that state permit.
The speakers' bureau hopes also to
arrange with ex-Senator S. H. Piles, of
Seattle, to make several Hughes talks
in Oregon.
No definite assurance, has yet been
received from the National Republican
speakers' bureau that any . Eastern
speaker will be sent to Oregon, largely
because the National committee views
Oregon as so safe for Hughes that it
desires to use all available speakers In
more doubtful states.
Efforts have been made by the Ore
gon committee to get Senator Borah,
of Idaho, to take part in the Oregon
campaign, but word has been received
that he will confine his activities to
those states where a United States Sen
ator is to be chosen. Many localities
in Oregon have been requesting the
committee to get Senator Borah.
Speakers for Fairs Requested.
. A number of requests for Republi
can speakers at different county fairs
have been made, with which the bu
reau will endeavor to comply. In sev
eral of the counties interest is so keen
in the campaign that an old-fashioned
schoolhouse campaign like that for Mc
Kinley in 1S96 will be arranged.
Members of the committee have rea
sonable assurance that Governor John
son will come to Oregon. His election
as United States Senator in California
said to be so nearly certain that he
will have to devote little time to the
campaign.
The committee has not altogether
abandoned hopes of having Colonel
Roosevelt give a number of addresses
in the state. However, in the absence
of Colonel Roosevelt, it is believed that
the appearance of Governor Johnson
will meet with universal satisfaction
among the voters, inasmuch as he was
the Colonel s running mate on the pro
gressive ticket four years ago.

There are at least 1 00 persons
among our clients who contemplate
buying homes in the very near future
If one-fourth of these were to buy
in September, prices would have
to follow the increasing demand.
And there are many reasons why this one-fourth are liable to' buy
now. Back from vacation, with a desire to get their houses under,
roofs before bad weather and eager to place their contracts before
lumber goes still higher, business men will not hesitate -longer
Every day we see proof of greater activity in all lines of business.
Portland and the Northwest are beginning to wake up to the fact
that it is their own fault they are not sharing the unequaled pros
perity of the East. The outcome is greater attention to shipbuilding,
shipping and other vital factors of commerce.
No city can saw wood with a hammer, and the buzz in the city's mills
shows the change in Portland's mental attitude.
Let's keep going.
