Tne following report of an Albany case "decided Saturday by the Supreme Conrt, presents an interesting legal point: H. Broders, apaellant , vs. J. C. Bo bannon et al, respondents, from Linn county; opinion bv Bean, J.: affirmed. In-November, 1892 the defendant, Bo hannon, leased a certain farm in Lion countv for the period of two years, et a rental of $1200, pavable one-half on or before October 1. 1S94. By the terms of the lease all crops raised upon the prem ises each year should remain tne property of the Landlord until the tent, as above specified, should be paid. In September, 1893, and while Bohannon was in pos session of the property, the plaintiff, without knowledge of the stipulations contained in the lease, loaned him the sum of $438.85. and as security therefor upon all toe crops growing upon ine premises, as weii . . . ill hannon farmed the land during tbe year . - -ifloi Knt fsilcvt tn mv thn ntnf or hia in- debtednees to piaintm. The question decided in this case is whether the mortage takes precedence over the landlord's claim for rent. The court holds that, by the provisions of the lease, the title to the crops did not vest in tbe tenant until the payment of rent, and that -prior to that time be could not anenmber it. bv mortage or otherwise, so to interfere with tbe landlord s rigbts under the lease. - Tbe decree is affirmed, Justice Waiver ton took no part in this decision.

McGilverv. of Denver. who has a contract to furnish 57.000 cuoic yams ot stone used in the con struction of the new Spreckles building, in San Francisco, left for that citv Sat urday, aiter a hurried visit to Oregon. The stone used in constructing the Spreckles building comes from an Ore gon quarry, in Lincoln county, near Ya quina. It is taken out in huge blocks, weighing from 10 to 13 tons each, sent to the seaboard on cars, and there shipped to San Francisco on the steamer Faral lon It was recently discovered at the i quarry mat some ot the blocks, in some unaccountable way, were cracking, and the foreman in charge refused to ship any more stone until Mr. McGilvery, the contractor, arrived to investigate. The contractor lost no time in coining to laquina, and it was speedily ascertained that the cracking was due to exposure cf the freshly quarried stone to the sun's raf 8. causing the sap to evaporate too qtiickly. This was easily remedied by keeping the stone in the shade for a time before shin Tipnt. Mr. McGilvery isVne of the big build ing contractors of the country, having supervised the construction of all the large buildings in Denver, and has been awarded contracts in all parts of the country. - He has a high opinion oi the Oregon stone used in the Spreckles building, and says that contracts re cently made for buildings in San Fran cisco distinctly specify that construction shall be of Oregon stone. Oregonian. The Laborer Beatex. In the case of the receivership ot the Oregon Pacific Railway company, an appeal from Benton- county, the opinion of the lower court was affirmed. The decision was rendered by Jud.e Bean. This was an appeal from an order of the circuit court of Benton countv, denvinit the petition of certain employes of the receivers of the Oregon Pacific Railway company for an order requiring the plaintiff in the fore closure suit, in which such receivers were appointed to pay the wages of the petitioners. The petitioners were em ploved h the receivers to operate the road, and as the property did not earn enough to pay the expeusts, they, the employes, petitioned the court to order the plaintiff in the foreclosure suit to de posit with the court the money lor the payment of wages. This order was de nied and the petitioner appealed The action of the court was affirmed. States man. The New Tims Tabus. Trains began running ay 1st on tne new and satisiac tory schedule.

It was shipped from H. B. Richards, Easton, Pa., to H F. Fischer .one of Oorvallls's wealthiest cit izens. The value of the calf was $1000 and the express charges were $55. On the right ear was the registered tag No. 323. Instf uctions on the canvassed crate jhowed the solicitude and ca.e necessary io m kb mi ouuu umer. i iu ; "Feed and care Give 4 quarts of sweet mug morning ana evening, vruer mi;i i by wire to avoid delay. Pail attached to, crate. Keep hay in front pouch. Feed one measure in bag morniug and even ing Do not place crate where there will be want of air and do not expose to cold draft." The excellent condition of this $1000 bull calf indicated that the instructions had been carefully carried out by the ex press messengers. A $1000 bull calf is pretty good these times : but the belted stock comes high. and the consignee is fully able to foot the bill For an Encampment. Brig. Gen. Beebe, Col. Card well, Mai. Collins and Maj. Moore, of the O. N. G., and Col. Jackson, of the regular army, of Portland, were in tbe city this noon, and were driven rapidly to the fair rroundj. , in cnarge ot Uapt. .llis, Uapt. Phillips , idu L.ieui. uummioi, wnera uiev maae ' an inspection, with a view of securing a location lor an encampment, returning in time to take tbe north bound train. They seemed pleased with the location and accommodations. It is proposed to nave an encampment ot tbe three Oregon regiments, probably tbe last of Juue and over the 4th of July, bodm where in the valley. Th:s would bring one thousand to fifteen hundred men to Albany for about ten days, and would be a big tiling tor the lty as welt as a great attraction on tbe 4th and it is to be hoped the place viewed is selected. Certainly it is the best in contemplation. A K ESC ARK ABLE Ce.VTR.V AkIAS. FrOED the Astoria Budget: Mrs. Eliza Shaw, of this city is one of the most nimble old ladies in the country.

Unless a good frost occurs, a large amount of thinning out by hand will be required ; it is sel dom, even in prolific Oregon, that the fruit trees are as heavily laden astbey are this year. With few exceptions, tbe correspondents report, "Fruit prospects never so good as at present." Equally as good reports are made concerning the grain crop Tbe dry, northerly winds have dried out the ground, and more rain would be beneficial. Fail and winter sown what and oats have excellent color and tine growth1. Early-sown spring grain is growing finely. Late plowing and seeding continue; except on the lower lands, seeding will be finished this week. Course North. Fifty members of an , Industrial army, or hobces, took Ash land yesterday and helped themselves to things along the business street. At Grants Pass they were subdued. Mayor Burkhart has been notified and will see that Albany is protected. It is probable, though, that Acting Marshal Reece and force will be equal to the occasion. Will Fight It. Secretary of State Kiniaid will fight the suit brought lo compel Lint to issue warrants for claims against tbe state. Attorney General Idlemsn seems to be standing in with the gang, and it wilt be necessary lor tbe state to hire special attorneys for tbe case. N. B. Knight has been retained and probably A. C. Woodcock will be em ployed. The office of attorney general should be abolished. The Next Games.

Elmer Groshong and John Miller have teen treating themselves to new bicycles. Let us see, whut was it those cam paign banners said about McKinley and nigh wages? We think if Syracuse had a curfew ordinance about half a doien of our young men would go borne earlier Sun- (jay evenings. i since our last writing a Sunday School nag been organized and is controlled by the following officers: Belle Bodine, Supt , Wm Rainy Ass't Sunt., Theodore Zimmerman See., Iva Haley chorister. It is yet an unsolved mystery why Will Huddleson of Jefferson, will walk eight miles to attend our Sunday School when he was never known to attend S. S. at home. Perhaps the S. S. that attracts Will is a sweet sixteen. Work is very lively in these parts now. Besides the usual farming, gardening ani wood cutting that employs our men Mr DM hooper is logging on a large scsle, employing about twelve men and several teams. There are also two other logging camps in this immediate vicinity. There has been a lively scrimmage go ing on over the postoffice at Jefferson. To settle the matter we would humbly suggest that it be left as it is as Mr Hud dleson's term has two vears to rnn. Uncle Archie hai made us a faithful and efficient ollicer, besides he is jolly and clever and uuiveraally liked. Let him alone. Saturday evening last was so balmy and nice that some of our best young sters improved the opportunity to go serenading.

Mrs. Johnson, of Spicer, made a brs inesa trip to Tenn. this afternoon. Having noticed an article in yonr oa per by E. E. M an sey calling me a willful, malicious liar I beg space to reply. The article referred to by E E Munaey was not intended to barm nor injure any one, as was stated by him, which no one but a narrow-minded, sensitive man would saopose. Here is the substance of the affair concerning the keeping off the grass, I with my sister, nine years of age. were on our way to school, and tne road leading past R. W. Manser's stock past ure, nut by any means a meadow, beine simply impassible for a little girl we simply got over tbe fence never dreaming of being orde-ed out by a neighbor, which we were. The rest I wilt i ot divulge to the public, but I caught the inspiration and traveled the muddy road that night. Such is the true state af affairs. If I have wounded Mr. R.W. Man sey's feelings in the least by the article which I have sritten 1 sincerely beg bit pardon, as I did not intend it as an in- iury as supposed. He is sn elderly and tonorable gentleman and I have much respect for him because be has a right ana a perlect privilege to order me from his premises and I am enough of a gen tleman to respect bis orders; but as to E. E. Munsey, I have no apologies and bat one regret, that 1 was once one of hia pupils. I will leave it to tbe public to jTlire whether 1 have been fairly treated by this man who, as a school teacher, should be a pattern for a sap beaded boy to imitate.

AN INTERESTING CASE, The Supreme Court has just decided that the big Hotel Corvallis is the prop erty of the Gerhard estate and Philip Phile. Tbe Gerhard estate has put into it tOOOO and Mr. Phile $3000. The Times tells how Miles Wilklos, now projecting a railroad between Waterloo and Leb anon, built it: When its promoter I projected the en terprise be bad small means, limes were, however, booming and be gambled with the future. Miles Wilklns bought the corner lot at tbe price $4,000 and paid down in cash 200. $3,800 balance was to be raised somehow.nobody knew ; nobodv could guess. The additional 25 feet that makes up tbe 75 feet frontage of the property was Ibought with a sim ilar outlay of cash. This happened five years ago. The building, to its present stage of completion was built almost without capital, and by a constant and increasing resort to credit, borrowing and swapping, just bow, tbe ingenious and resourceful Miles Wilklns. alone knows. Mechanics depended upon their liens for pay, and when the builder de faulted in the interest on the mortage to Gerhard and Phile, foreclosure proceed ings were begun, ine mecbantcs lien holders fought tbe case, reiving upon tbe statute creating liens. The case was tried at the tall term in 1894, and the following spring the decision giving the whole thing to tbe mortgagees was hand, ed down by Judge Fullerton. A man named deach, a material lien bolder in Portland appealed to tbe supreme conrt for redress. Friday, after two years of wailing, the court ol last resort announced the law. Tangent. Takcest.
