This company holds a lease on the hotel property from the Wilcox estate, a lease which has 15 years yet to ran. A valuation of $300,000 is placed on the estate of the late hotel man by Attorney Alfred A. Hampson of the firm of Dey, Hampson & Nelson, who filed the petition in probate yester day. The chief property is in cap Hal stock of the Imperial Hotel com pany, the remainder being in personal property and some real estate. Lib erty bond holdings are said to form a. good share of the personal prop erty. Philip L. Metschan, Otto W.

Of the three only Philip Mets chan is empowered to vote the stock of the hotel company at stockholders' meetings. He may vote this- for the election of himself as director, presi dent, manager or anything else and rray receive salary as such without bing disqualified, provides the will. Allowance Given Widow. Under the terms of the testament, flr.al settlement of the estate is not to be made until the termination of the Wilcox lease, or the death of the 'widow, Mrs Maria E. Metschan, should she be living when the lease ends. Provision is made for the widow to receive $250 a month during the re mainder of her lifetime, as well as the bequest of household goods and automobile. The lease on the. hotel property was taken out orisr'nally between the late Theodore B. Wilcox ano Phil and Philip L. Metschan, September 15. 3 908. Later it was assigned to the Imperial Hotel company with the per mission of Mr. Wilcox, with the pro vision that, it always be controlled by the father or son. To Insure this Joint control the two Metschans en tered into an agreement by which 425 shares of the capital stock of the company, sufficient to guarantee the balance of power, were placed in trust by them, each reserving the right to purchase the shares so placed, if desired. Shares Not to Be Sold. Under the terms of the will no shares of the capital stock of the company shall be sold or distributed before the final settlement or clos ing of the estate, so that the con trol shall be lost to the estate or to Philip L. Metschan. Other shares shall not be sold except to pay In debtedness of the estate, including taxes, legacies and expenses of ad ministration. Any residue from such sales shall be divided among six of the nine children, each receiving 75 fc55ths. At the distribution of the estate after final settlement all shares of the capital stock, except the 25 which are for the benefit of the three children acting as executors, are to be divided equitably among the six other children. They are: Mrs. Va leska M. Flanders, Frank M. Mets chan and Edward L. Metschan of Portland, Mrs. Kmella M. Meredith and Mrs. Julia M. Griffith of Salem and Mrs.' Anna Cattanach of Oregon City. Heirloom Left to Philip. In case Philip L. Metschan exer cises his right to purchase the 425 shares in the hotel company, then the purchase price is bequeathed equally among Philip.
