MORTGAGE Oil OWN
PROPERTY HELD VOID
Interesting Real Estate Case
Decided by Supreme Court.
LOMBARD SUIT IS QUOTED
Slan Who Permits Tirst Mortgage
' on 1x3 ts to Secure Building loan
Taking Some Chance of Loss.
BT W. B. SHIVELT,
Chairman Legal Committee Portland RealtJ
Hoard.
Is a mortgage to one's self on one's
town property valii? And where an
agent holds tne legal title to real estate
In trust for the real owner, is a mort
gage on that property valid which is
executed by the agent in favor of said
owner?
This interesting question is decided
bv our supreme court in- the case of
Lombard vs. Bietau. 90 Oregon. 174
Pac. 1164. In that case the facts
were that the plaintiff, Lombard, being
the owner or certain lots in Portland,
sold the same under contract to one
Peake with the understanding that
Peake would erect a residence on the
property at once. Lombard retained a.
lien on the premises for the balance
iue o-n the sale price, 1S90. payable in
installments. It was agreed between
the parties that Lombard would post
pone his lien of $1S90 in favor of a
building loan of $3750. to be placed on
the prooerty by Peake.
For the convenience of Peake, Lom
bard conveyed the legal title to the
property to one Bietau, who was
Peake's agent. Bietau then executed
s first mortgage on the property of
$3750 in favor of Peake, and a second
mortgage of $1890 in favor of Lombard.
It was the agreement that Peake should
then negotiate the first mortgage of
J3750 and thereby obtain the necessary
funds to complete the building. Peake,
however, built the dwelling without ne
gotiating the first mortgage, but about
two years thereafter borrowed $1000
from one Good and assigned to Oood
the $3750 mortgage as collateral se
curity for tho $1000 loan. During all
this time Bietau held the legal title to
the premises.
Second Mortgage Foreclosed.
Finally the payments on the second
mortgage in favor of Lombard became
delinquent. Lombard then brought suit
to foreclose his mortgage, claiming it
to be in effect a first lien on the prop
erty for the reason that Peake had not
used the proceeds of the first mortgage
for building- purposes, as agreed.
Peake and Bietau answered Lombard s
complaint, claiming that Lombard's
mortgage was only a second lien and
that the $3750 mortgage was prior
thereto.
In passing upon the case the court
held that Bietau had no personal inter
est in the property, but held the, bare
legal title to the property as Peake's
agent in trust for Peake. who was the
beneficial owner; that in equity (this
being an equity case) Peake was the
real owner of the property and that in
asmuch as Peake was the real owner,
the $3750 mortgage made by Bietau in
favor of Peake was in reality a mort
gage made Peake to himself on his
own property; that therefore the $3750
mortgage, as to Lombard, Bietau and
Peake was absolutely null and void,
and that no assignment of the mort
gage from Peake to others could con
vey any equitable right except only
when made to an innocent purchaser
for an adequate consideration and with
out notice.
Innocent Pnrchaier Protected.
The court further held that Oood
was an innocent purchaser of the $3750
mortgage, but that having loaned
thereon but $1000, he was only entitled
to recover that sum with the agreed
interest and no more. The decree of
the court therefore was that Good had
a. first lien on the property for $1000
and that Lombard's mortgage was a
second lien on the property, subject
only to the Good claim of $1000.
. Jt may be inferred from the forego
ing decision that the device adopted by
Peake to finance his building opera
tions would have been enforced by the
court if the agreement bad been ac
tually carried out as the parties in
tended. It conclusively appears, how
ever, that a mortgage to one's self on
one's own property even though exe
cuted through the medium of an agent,
is absolutely void except as to bona
fide purchasers for value and without
notice.
ELECTRICAL DEALERS TO HELP
Blembers of Association. Assist in
t "Own-Your-Home" Campaign.
The "Own-Your-Home" campaign has
been given material aid by the mem
bers of the Oregon Association of Elec
trical Contractors & Dealers, through
action at a meeting in the Imperial
iotel.
Desiring to do their share- towards
furnishing employment for returned
soldiers and to relieve the shortage ot
dwellings for working people, they
have offered to install electric wiring
for lights at rates that are ordinarily
lets than cost. Anticipating that there
will be a considerable volume of house
wiring work, they have eliminated from
their prices a certain percentage of the
customary overhead expense and are
giving this to the cause.
This is considered by the managers
ef the "Own-Your-Home" campaign to
be a very generous offer by the elec
trical contractors and is much appreciated.

prior to that at the Brownsville mill
and the Dallas mill.
The memory of Mr. Worsley seems to
be perfectly clear on many of the points
not heretofore made plain. Mr. Wors
ley says; "My father, John Worsley,
came from Philadelphia in 1863 to in
stall the machinery and superintend the
Brownsville mill. This was the second
woolen mill to be started in Oregon. He
secured as operators and brought with
him from Philadelphia Thomas Kay,
David Dalgleish. Johnithan Hill. James
Kennedy, Squire Farrar and Thomas
Anderson. These men were all experts
and had been associated with my father
in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
"John Worsley left Brownsville In
1865 and went to Salem, where he as
sociated himself with Judge Reuben P
Boise and went to Dallas. Polk county.
where with William Brown, James Im-
bree. Frank Nichols and others they or
ganized tho Kllendale Woolen Mills
company. The mill was located on the
Rickreal, three miles from Dallas, on
the farm of Judge Boise. The site was
named Kllendale. after Judge Boise's
wife, Ellen. Father- installed the ma
chinery and had charge of the mill until
April, 18t8, when he went to Wasco
county and organized The Dalles Wool
en & Worsted Mills, with Dan and Josh
French, George and Ben Snipes. Henry
Marlin, William P. Joslin and Z. Don
nell. Father installed the machinery
and was superintendent for a number
of years.
"We renounced the woolen mill busi
ness In. the early 70s and took other
avocations. Father died at The Dalles
in June. 1874.
"The Brownsville mill and the Dallas
for Kllendale) mill were destroyed by
fire: I have no recollection of what be
came of the machinery of the mill at
The Dalles."
That letter upsets some theories
about the early woolen mills and estab
lishes facts hitherto in doubt. Prob
ably others, reading Mr. Worsleys let
ter, will come to the aid of The Orego
nian and help in eventually making a
complete record of the mills up to date.
(The ninth article will appear next Sunday.)
BT HELEN M. GILKEY.
Assistant Professor of Botany, O. A. C
CERTAIN weeds seem to have an al
most animal-like fondness for
man's company, following him
wherever he migrates and springing up
along his trails and in his dooryards.
Where man is found most they flourish
best, apparently willing even to be
trampled into the dust for the honor
of his company. Such plants, called
"social weeds," are commonly repre
sented by plantain, knotweed and dog
fennel. Plantain, indeed, was called
by the Indians the "white man's foot,"
because of its unfailing habit of ap
pearing upon the trail of tho English
settlers.
One of the most faithful and at the
same time most unwelcome of the social
weeds is dog-fennel (anthemls cotula),
ragged, ill-smelling and wholly useless.
No animal will eat it, and its acrid
Juice, which scalds the flesh, makes it
particularly undesirable in fields where
direct contact with it is necessary.
Farmers of the olden time when grain
was harvested by hand cursed the weed
which burned their arms, hands and
feet and made "bearing the burden in
the heat of the day" a doubly irksome
task.
Plant Admired at Distance.
Dog-fennel is perhaps too well known
to require description, but the follow
ing points may serve to distinguish it
from' several somewhat similar mem
bers of its family. The weed grows
from 6 inches to 3 feet in height and
branches freely, often at an angle of
nearly 90 degrees, which gives it a
broad-topped, sturdy, tree-like appear
ance. The stems are stiff and ridged,
the leaves are very finely dissected
into short, slender segments, and the
blossoms resemble miniature white
rayed daisies with yellow, cone-shaped
centers. The plant is not unattractive
in appearance, but is usually admired
only at a distance, even by little chil
dren, who are generally open-hearted
enough to love anything that is a
flower. A few experiences of rubbing
the weed juices from their fingers into
their eyes are sufficient to teach them
that distance lends enchantment.
The weed is an annual, sometimes a
winter annual. It germinates in the
fall and the resulting plant lives over
the winter, flowering and forming seed
very early the next season. It propa
gates by seeds, producing a large num
ber which are hardy and readily germi
nated. They form a frequent impurity
of grass and clover seed and are easily
distributed In this way.
Pest May Be Eradicated.
The plant' will grow in practically
any soil and may become troublesome
in almost any crop. As with other an
nuals, the remedy is simple in theory.
If the plant is not allowed to ripen
seed it can be eradicated in one season
except for the few aeeds which have
remained ungerminated in the soil and
which can be easily destroyed as they
develop from time to time. In practice.
if a field is badly infested, the process
of extermination is not wholly simple
but the results of one's labor are worth
while.
"The dog-fennel, being an annual, is
not difficult to get rid of," says B. F.
Sheehan of the farm crops department.
"It requires careful attention and never
should be allowed to become estab
lished. Destroy the young plants before-
danger of their maturing seed.
Cutting off the plant after they are well
up will check seed development.
"In grain fields the crop may be re
lieved of crowding by harrowing early,
before the seedings are well established.
"Careful preparation "of the seedbed
will get many of the young plants.
Xo foreign growth should bo present
when planting Is done.

A letter dated May 6, and written

When I was a very young boy my father

of Pennsylvania. The opening of the Bing

western Pennsylvania.
My family was with the first and soon
a new town sprung Into being. This town
took its name from a nearby settler. Daniel
Hew, and was called Rew City, la due time
a postoffice. then a narrow gauge railroad,
and with the opening of the surrounding
lands for oil prospectors and a telegraph
office were established. To me, as a boy,
fell the honor of being the first Western
union messenger Doy or tne new town.
Even today my memory holds the names
of the many prominent men to whom I de

VJ So-Called Smart Piano Selling Practice &J
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
(Eighth Article.) 1
THERE is an error In the first sen
tence of my seventh article, which
appeared in The Oregonian a week
ago. The mill established at The Dalles
was not the third one to be started in
Oregon. Tho Oregon City mill was the
third. There has been some doubt
about this, but I think I have this order
now clearly established, as I will show
further on in this article.
And in a strict sense to Brownsville
belongs the credit for the fifth mill as
well as the second; but I have treated
the various mills at Brownsville as the
same mill, as after the fires at least
some of the property was saved, and
partially the organization practically
wa3 the same.
In my last article I stated that I
would in the next article give an ac
count of what happened to the ma
chinery of the old mill at The Dalles.
I stated that Ben Snipes took it for
debt and then sold it to tome parties
at Dayton, Wash.
I have received a very full account
of tho matter from Superior Judge
Chester F. Miller of Asotin. Wash. His
recollections are very clear about the
matters, except that he does not give
the dates closer than the year in which
the events occurred. The judge's letter
Is so clear and comprehensive that I
will quote it in full:
"The Dayton Woolen Mills company
was organized in the summer of 18
by V. G. Frary. a practical woolen fac
tor who came from Indiana. He first
I endeavored to organize a company at
Walla Walla, but was unsuccessful, and
then came on to Dayton, where he soon
succeeded. S. M. Wait was president
and ' F. G. Frary, secretary and man
ager. Tho other stockholders were
Jesse X. Day. Winnett brothers. William
Matzgar and A. 11. Reynolds. These
parties were all residents of Dayton ex.
cept Reynolds, who was a resident of
Walla Walla.
"John Mustard, one of the proprietors
of the original townsite of Dayton, do
nated several acres of land to the com
pany, a building was erected and a two
point mill was soon running, the ma
chinery coming, as I understand it, from
The Dalles.
"Twenty-five to 30 hands wero em
ployed and the mill was a paying in
stitution until 1877. when it closed. In
the spring of 1879 S. M. Wait and J. N.
Day purchased the stock and re-opened
the mill under the rrranagement of S. G.
Frary. It waa not run at a profit and
was again shut down in 1880 and re
mained closed until tho fall of 1882,
when W. H. H. Fouts, J. G. Bonnett and
D. T. Rogers, practical woolen mill men
from the Oregon City mills, purchased
the plant and ran it successfully until
tho spring of 1885, when the buildings,
stock and machinery wero all destroyed
by fire."
It was certainly very kind in Judge
Miller to send these facts to The Ore
gonian to the end that the information
might become history.
I have recently received another very
illuminating letter from Ben S. Wors
ley, the son of John Worsley and broth
er of William Worsley. all of whom
were employed at The Dalles mill, and

It was also through the columns of
The Oreponian when the article ap
peared, that the broken piece from the
cane has been found in the east.
The cane recently came into posses
sion of Mr. Blossom of this city. It
first came into the possession of
Reuben Blossom, great-grandfather of
W. K. and II. S. Blossom, then in the
possession of Nathan Blossom, their
grandfather, and at the time of hi
death. K. I. Blossom, father of W. K
and H. S. Blossom, became the owner.
Upon his death, II. S. Blossom, W. K
Blossom received the cane and which
he highly prizes. At the time that
Nathan Blossom owned the cane it was
broken and a handle of ivory was
placed thereon. The original length
was five feet, but since it became
broken, is of ordinary length.
