The committee on resolutions made the following report, which was adopted: To the Members of the Bar of the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon, for Mult nomah County: Your committee, appointed to prepare and present to the court resolutions re specting the life and character of our de parted brother. Hon. Charles B. Bellinger, beg to report as follows: Judge Bellinger was born In Maquon, 111., on November 21, 1839, and died at his home in Portland, on May 12. 1903. He oc cupied many public positions, all of which he filled to the satisfaction of the public and with credit to himself. He was a man of vigorous intellect, strong convictions and generous Impulses. He was a pioneer of the state, a.id closely identified with the legislation, with the administration of Its laws, and with edu cational and charitable institutions, and took an active and influential part in whatever was of interest to the commu nity In which he lived. He was one of the most widely known and honored citizens of the Pacific Coast, a sincere friend, a distinguished lawyer, and a Just and up right Judge: therefore. Resolved. That the members of the bar share in the public estimate of the char acter of the deceased and in the universal grief at his loss. Resolved. That a copy of these resolu tions be presented to the family of the deceased, with our sincere sympathy In their bereavement, and that request be made that they be entered upon the rec ords of this court, and the united States District and Circuit Courts, over which he presided. C. A. DOLPH. GEORGE H. WILLIAMS. FREDERICK V. HOLMAN, JOHN M. GEARIN. GEORGE E. CHAMBERLAIN. Alumnae Puss Resolutions. The following memorial was read, adopted by a committee of one member from each class of the Alumnae of the law school of the University of Oregon, in which Judge Bellinger was a professor: Judge Charles B. Bellinger was best known to the greater number of the alum ni of the law school of the University of Oregon as the well-beloved professor In their alma mater. Occupying the chair of equity in the law school until the year 1900, Judge Bellinger yearly added to the list of those who loved and honored him a number of young- men equal to the ros x ter of the law school. His genial and winning- personality, and his method, peculiar to hlmslcf, of at once winning the confi dence of all his pupils alike was so re markable and striking as to cause com ment and commendation from even a cas ual observer. The story of his life from that of a poor boy, without means and without backing, and his final achieve ment of the many high legal honors he attained, was a living example and in spiration to all, and particularly every student of the law who came In contact with Judge Bellinger, either as a lawyer. Judge or as a man. As a teacher, he was excelled by none; as a lawyer, he was the peer of any: as a Judge, he was just, but Justice with him was always tempered with mercy and hu man kindness. Fearless and honorable to a high degree, he added to his ability the weight of these attributes. His services in th law school are shown by the love and honor bestowed upon him by every pupil who studied under him, and his serv ices upon the bench are shown by his clear, forcible and lucid opinions. As a man, he was honest In every act of his life- He despised all shams, and never hesitated to expose them. His disposition was gentle, his love of humor great, and his kindness and generosity of heart and ready sympathy made him lifelong friends. He disarmed the bold and won the timid by his genial personality, which made him an associate and gentleman whom to know was at the same time to love. This committee, thus honoring and ven erating the name and memory of Judge Bellinger, speaking for themselves and for ' the alumnae of the law school of the Uni versity of Oregon, have thought It fit by this brief minute to give a formal ex pression of their respect and affection, and to direct that it be laid before the Bar Association of Multnomah County, with the resolution. That we express our heartfelt sympathy with the family of Judge Bellinger, in whose sorrow we share, and that a suit ably engrossed copy of these resolutions he transmitted to them. O. L. Price. F.

Plttenger, committee. C A. Dolph read a telegram from Gov ernor Chamberlain expressing his regret at being unable to attend the meeting. Mr. Dolph also spoke, moving the adop tion of the resolution. He said: May it please the Court: In moving these resolutions, I need not recount the distinguished services of Judge Bellinger, either as a Judge upon the bench now occupied by you. or later as a Judge upon the Federal bench, so recently occupied by him. These services are attested by perma nent records, which will stand as a per petual memorial to his Industry, the high order of his ability, the soundness of his Judgment, and to his great attainments. Nor need I recite the story of his life. That will be written In the history of this state, with which his name is inseparably connected. I come with a few words in testimony of the esteem in which we, his professional brethren, held him as a lawyer and a Judge, and to add my tribute of affection for one who for more than an average generation of mankind was to mc the truest and the best of friends. I can say little more. "I have too 'grieved a heart to take a tedious leave of him." Am I not justified in saying, may It Please tne court, tnat at tne date of his untimely death no man in the whole state was more heloved than he? Surely the logs' of no man within the state would have been more keenly felt or more sin cerely deplored. During- the long and anx ious week it was generally known that Judge Bellinger was dangerously ill. the finger of this city was on his pulse. When he breathed his last a great wave of sor row swept over this entire state, and mes sages of sjTnpathy scores In number catno from adjoining states and from abroad. A common grief overshadowed bench and bar alike, and the public press was filled with words of sympathy. Wlfy is It that such a tribute of respect ana affection snouia ne paia to tne mem ory of this mas? Every day some citizen of our titatG is taken from among us. and yet wo are apt to give but little thought to the occurrence, wnat was it in tne life of Charles B. Bellinger that should cause this universal arrow? Was It be cause he occupied -exaKea station? I do not so interpret It. Place and power command respect: out tney o not win af fection. Neither place, nor power, nor gold, can purchase love. Ambition leads men on in the pursuit of wealth and fame, aad'tf at last the goal Is reached "What. then. Is the reward? - - Gold when the senses It ea&ttld please are dead; Fame when the heart it should have thrilled is numb: All things but love when love la all we want." Judge Bellinrer will be remembered -and honored for what he did. His memory will be enshrined in loving hearts for what be was. He was admired ana respeciea as an upright Judge: but he was loved for tne personal qualities wnicn maae mm what he was. He loved his fellow-man. witn mm tne creat and small, the Yich and ooor. pos sessed In like degree with those qualities Which constitute true raanaooa, stooa upon the same eminence. He valued men far more for what they were than for what they had, or the station In life they occupied. He was loyal to his friends, and his relations to his family were exquisitely- tender and beautiful. His neart was as warm as sunshine. His quick perceptive faculties and kindly disposition made him the most delightful of companions. A strong personality Impressed itself upon all with whom he came in -contact. Yet he enforced his Individual views In such a way as never to give offence. He hated insineerltv and chicanery, and he was ac customed to denounce both in unmeasured terms; but he treasured in his neart no thought of III towards anyone. or tne inaiscreuons ana peny mmis oi the weak and Inexperienced he was al ways ready to make excuse, and when "ThA srnips of accusation and defense poised doubtfully, he let Mercy touch them with her downy hand and turn the balance on the gentler siae.

May it please the Court, ir witnm tne m-nnrlptlpa of an occasion such as this I may speak of my personal relations with Judge Bellinger, let me say I first met him early in the year 1S63, at the old Courthouse In Salem, where he was then a student at law, and I a stripling stran ger in quest of a license to teach a village school. I was attracted by his charming personality, and the chance acquaintance then made with him soon ripened Into a close friendship which endured through all the Intervening years, during which our relations, whether as opposing attor neys at the bar. associates In business, court and counsel, or as friends, were never, so 'far I ever knew, marred by a single thought or word or action. in tne ten years we were purine m mo rrflrtif of nnr nmfesslon. the soundness of his Judgment and the facility with which he formed ana was aDie to siaie his conclusions upon difficult problems, won my admiration, and the goodness and gentleness or nis nature won my au.ee tion. He left our firm to accept tne nign oince tn which he was called reluctantly, and with the understanding that in case, at the evnlratlon of one year's experience on the bench, he found the position dis tasteful to him. ne couia, it ne so uesirea, rseume his place in the firm. To erv few friends have I been so ardently attached. The loss of none do I more sincerely or more proiounaiy ae- plore. The addresses were many of them very eloquent, especially that of John M. Gearin, which was commended by all present. The response to the speeches was made by Judge Cleland. PROMINENT LEADERS "VVILTi TAKE PART. State Organization Arranges the Pre liminaries for the National Meeting In June. The Oregon State Suffrage Association held a meeting in the parlors of Mrs. Mallory. Sixth and Taylor streets, yes terday afternoon, when reports of com mittees appointed to consummate plans for the June convention of the National Association were heard. It was ascer tained that matters are progressing most favorably and that the hundreds of dele gates who will arrive in Portland June 28 will find an open door awaiting them. They will be met at the train by depot committees, who will have them escorted to ouarters secured by the household committee. Decorations for the First Con gregational Church, where the conven tion will gather, have been arranged for, local florists pledging themselves to fur nish an abundance-of flowers for this pur pose, am. state banners will also be pro vided. The official badge of the convention will be a bronze medallion, suspended from a yellow ribbon. On the medallion will be the impression of Sacajewea and her papoose, thus paying tribute to the first woman who aided in the exploration of this great region. Delegates from four neighboring clubs were present at yesterday's meeting, In cluding Silverton, Sherwood, Rainier and Montavilla. Interest In the convention and what it means to Oregon women Is increasing dally, and the work of the state organizers, Miss Chase and Miss Laughlln, who were sent here several months ago by the National association, is beginning to ahow. From now until the convention meets there will be week ly meetings every Saturday in Mrs. Mal lory's parlors. The hospitality committee sent out an appeal to residents of Portland for gratui tous entertainment of the speakers of the convention. These will include some of the most brilliant women of the coun try, whose presence will be an honor to any home. The officials of the conven tion have been provided for. but the speakers have not been assigned to homes as guests. The most Important woman attending this convention aside from Su san B. Anthony L considered to be Rev. Annetta Brown Blackwell. Mrs. Black well is a woman of SO years, whose bright mind has long been a factor in public welfare. She has the distinction of be ing the first woman to be ordained as a minister in this country. Rev. Blnora Gordan. a Unitarian minister of brilliant' reputation, will preach the Sunday Bermon during the convention period. Other speak ers will include Dorothy Dlx, well known to every reader of newspapers: Charlotta Perkins Gilman. Laura Clay. Miss Grif fin, Mrs. C C. Bradford, Ida Husted Har per. Miss Gail Laughlln and many others. Henry C. Blackwell will also address the convention. Another matter which the state asso ciation would like taken up among the leading residents of Portland Is the en tertainment of the many notable women who will be here on this occasion. Port landers who have spacious homes and grounds and who are in the habit of en tertaining extensively should not overlook the opportunity of having these famous women as their guests of honor. It is seldom. If ever, that Portland is privileged to have such an aggregation of bright feminine minds' and celebrated women, and society should not overlook their presence in the city.

A proposal has been made to (he hop growers of Oregon to put all of he 1905 crop Into the hands of a stock company, to be formed and operated by the growers themselves. It Is suggest ed that by this means the price of the product can be raised to a figure jus tified by the shortage that exists in the world. The bears who have sold at a low price the hops that they have not yet bought would be thus elim inated from the market, to the joy of the farmers, and the charges paid to middlemen would be done away with, as the combine's hops would be sold by its own selling committee. The plan is to bo brought to the attention of growers in other states, in the hop that similar steps will be taken there:. The scheme Is being engineered by Conrad Krebs, president of the Oregon Hopholders' Association. The details are set forth in the following letter to Oregon growers, Issued by Mr. Krebs yesterday: SALEM. Or., May 27. Dear Sir: We beg to call your attention to a matter of vital importance to all the hopgrowers of the United States. We are confronted with a condition of affairs which, if permitted to thrive untrammeled, will ruin our Industry. Wc have been informed by reliable authority that the bears, or short rellcrs, have Id. approximately, 100.000 bales of the 1003 crop, raneing in price from 15c to 20c per pound delivered. These sales have been made In the face of a market barren of stocks and before the vines, which will pro duce the 1905 crop, had made their appear ance. This plainly Indicates that they are selling our product at ridiculously low prices, regardleta of the statistical position, relying on what they call the stupidity or lack of business sense of the growers to secure their product at a price which will show a profit to them. Are we going to remain, idle and permit the short-sellers to continually de press the market by cunning manipulation? If they .are successful in securing the hops at their own price when the supply of the world .indicates a shortage, then what will happen when climatic conditions are good and nature will yield a bountirul crop! Be ing conversant with the intelligence of tht hopgrowers. we predict that such a thing will not be permitted to continue much longer. Now is the time when the dormant energy of the growers should awaken and rise to the emergency and show that they are capable of marketing their product on a business basis. Do you realize that you can be the power upon the throne, whereas now you are only the shadow behind It? Unlike other farm products, the hopgrowing- lndustry Is confined to a small area; and it is possible to predict the probablo yield two or three months before the crop is har vested. Supposing one firm controlled two- thirds of all the hop crop of America -Jo he grown in 1005; wat do you think the price would be? Do you not think that 30. 40 or 50 cents would be as easily secured as IS cents when the hops are held by numerous individuals? If so, why not form a cor poration or combination which will accom plish the same results? At an early date we shall call a meeting of the Oregon hop- growers to discuss thK .matter and arrive at some definite conclusions. In the mean time we wish to submit the following sug gestions for your .consideration: The hopgrowers should form a corporation. under the laws of the State of Oregon, with some or all of the following points embod ied: 1. The officers and board of directors muft be elected by the hopgrowers who are stock- holders of the corporation. 2. Each grower to have a vote In the elec tion of the board of directors and officers. 3. No -one engaged In the buying or selling of heps shall be eligible to be a member of the board of directors or hold an official position, all such offices to be filled by men selected from the growers. 4. The board of directors to have the power of employing three men, who shall constitute a selling committee. 5. A meeting should be held on the first Monday of each month, and at that meet ing the stockholders shall have the power, by vote, to change the board of directors or officers It deemed advisable or necessary to do so. 0. The selling committee should be cm powered to hire expert hop graders to as sist them In determining the quality of each lot entered in the. corporation. 7. Each stockholder to receive, according to the quality of his hops, his pro rata of the proceeds derived from the sale of the hops. . 8. The salaries of the officers and tha members of the selling committee to be fixed by a vote of the stockholders. In our opinion it Is absolutely necessary, for the self-protection of the hopgrowers of each state, to combine, because there has been formed, in the past year, a powerful corporation for the purpose of raising large quantities of hop and manipulating the market. All admit that the stocks of the world have never been so depleted as at present: and the growing crop in England, as well as in America, indicates another short crop. Why not take advantage of the situation and exact a price for your product which is commensurate with "he production and consumption? At a glance you can see the vast benefit to be derived from such united action. You can. through the cor poration, sell your hops directly to the con sumer or to the merchants, and thereby eliminate three or four commissions which are being paid on every lot before it reaches the consumer. Tou can regulate the price according to the production and require ments. For example, you could ask 40 cents for the 1005 crop, and. you would have no difficulty In obtaining it, as the conditions Blight's Disease and Diabetes News 1737 Broadway, San Francisco, May 21, 1905.
