istered 64 milos, but they carried their
wheels up hills and through saad a couple of
miles, so the reading is hardly currect.
T. M. Hamilton was a victim of lead poi
soning one day this week. Tuesday morn
ing he drank some water out at the college
from a pump that had been repaired the pre
vious day, and in the repairing of which
lead had been need. Although Mr. Hamil
ton felt unwell during the afternoon, it was
not until about midnight that the poison
took effect. Dr. Pernot was called and soon
succeeded in giving the patient relief, and
.is now around as usual.
Henry Bell, whe formerly resided in Cor

His other son, Wells, is practicing law.
Mr. Bell took in the excursion to Newport
Sunday, it being his first trip to that pUce

Au exhibit of the college at the annual
Chiiutauqu assembly at Gladstone Park,
is thus spoken of by the Portland Sun:
"The state agricultural college has one, of
the most interesting exhibits at thoir head
quarters on the grouuds. The walls of the
tirnb are lined with specimens of free hand
and mechanical drawings made by the stud -ents.
The free hand work ia very fine and
is of special iuterest to the teachers, as this
is the only college ia the state that makes a
specialty of free hand work. Speoimens are
on exhibition of wood work and of iron work
that speak well of the application of the
the stadents in the mechanical depart
ment of the college."
It is difficult to point out tha biggest,
the oldest, or the most remarkable thing.

Geo. W. Smith returned to Corvaliis Tues
day after an absence ot six weeks in the east.
He accompanied J.. L. Castle, the Portland
stockhnyer, to Chicago with a trainload of
Willamette valley sheep, which left Port
land the 13th of June. The venture of
shipping mutton sheep to Chicsgo was a
new one, yet Mr. Castle claims to have
been fairly successful. After disposing of
their sheep, Mr. Smith visited friends in In
diana, where he formerly resided in Miami
county. He says that, with the exception
of the oeru crop, which is looking fairly well,
orops will be almost a failure iu the sections
f the state where he visited, this being the
tnira eaccessiTe tailura, and farmers gener
ally are feeling very despondent at the out
look. Mr. Smith remarked that on ten
acres in the Willamette valley, more hay
weald be cut this year than on tome whole
townships of bay land in Indiana. Farmers
here are in far better circumstances than are
farmers in the east. Mr. Smith is more
than ever impressed with ths favorable son
ditioas in uregon, and believes that we are
the most fortunate people in the Union.

Supreme CoTutt Sustains Trans-
fer of thi pregon Pacific.
On Monday last an opinion was handed
down io the Oregon Pacific case, which was
reported in Tuesday's Oi-egonian as follows:
In. the supreme court today in the case of
tha Farmers' Loait & Trust Company, a
trustees, respondent vs. tha Orgn P.wilia
Railway Company, "appellant, mi appeal
from Benton county, the j i.ii-Tii-nt
of the lower court was affirmed, the opin
ion being by Judge Moore. Afterjveitii g
the well-known history of the cise T.T'i.
various stages, and discussing adversely
various legal technicalities urg-d against
confirmation of the sale, the court sustaius
the action of Judge Fullerton, au.l then
C3mes to the final objection, the inade
quacy of the bid, which is handled in the
fallowing m tuner:
"The most important contention is that
the property and franchises offered fur sale
were of tho value of $3,030,000, that the
rails, rolling t"ck and miscellaneous prop
erty alone, not including tha land or build
ings, were worth $150,000, and that the bid
of $100,000, is so grossly inadequate as ta
shock the conscisnca and raise the inference
of unfairness, fraud, mistake or surprise.
The uniform holdings of the authori
ties iu Mariet vs. Warwick, 13 N. J., E.,
settles that mere inadequacy of price,
where the parties stand on an equal footing,
and where there are no confidential relations
between them is not of itself fulHcient to
set aside a sale, unless the inadequaucy is
so gross as to furnish proof of fraud, or to
shock the judgmut or conscience. In the
case at the bar, it is not claimed that the
parties did not stand on an equal footing;
that there were any confidential relations
existing between them, or that there is any
proof of fraud, and hence the inadequancy
sufficient to set aside the sale must be so
gross as to shock the conscience.
"We have examined the transfer before
us iu vain to find any evidence of the value
of the said property and franchises. The
receiver, upon his appointment, made an in
ventory of all that caine to his possession,
but be does not appraise a single article or j
give value ia gro83, except of some unusual
material on hand. There was no evidence
before the trial court of ths value, and it
would be extremely difficult for us to con
clude that the bid was inadequate, until we
have some evidence upon which the conclu-
sion can be based. It is said that some ex
perts were appointed by a committee of the
boadholdeis to examine the property and
appraise its' value, but we cannot find that
thoy were ever appointed by or made a
report to tha courls upon this important
subject. It does appear, however, from the
report of J. W. Whalley, who was appointed
referee to take account uf the receipts and
expenses of the defendant company under
the receiver's managment that for the
period of about 14 months prior to January
1, 1892, tha lines ot railroad and tha river
and ocean steamers connected there
with had been operated at a total loss of
$87,983 75, $6284.45 a month; that the re
ceiver had, prior to siid date, issued cer
tificates amounting to $633,041.29, and that
total liabilities, June 30. 1S92, were $905,
414 40, less S33.S3G.8a. which was available
in part payment of that amount, thus show
ing a total indebtedness at that date of $8G7,
587.54 beyond the" bonded indebtedness of
$15,000,000 and interest, which were secured
by mortgage. How much this debt was in
creased from June 30, 1892, at which time
ths referee made a supplemental report, to
December 22, 1894, when the sale occurred,
the record dees not show, but'it was admit
ted in argument that an indebtedness of
mora than $1,000,000 had been- incurred
by the receiver since his appointment, Octo
ber 23, 1890.
"Viewed in the light of a business ven
ture, and not considering the amount necee
sary to be expended for betterment, a prop
erty which was operated at a total loss of
over $6,000 per month does not, it must be
conceded, present a very inviting field to
capital: and while the amount bid for the
property may be grossly inadequate, we can
not say that it is so, in the absenee of any
evidence as to its value; and considering
that no sum in excess of that amount has
been offered by any one. It is indeed unfor
tunate that the expenses of the manage
ment of the property cannot be realized
from its sale. No one can examine the
record before us without being impressed
with the conviction that tha trial court has
labored long and earnestly to accomplish
this result, but without success, and to con
i tinue tha operation of ths road under the
management of a receiver would result in
further expense, which must ba borne by
those who can ill afford to add it to their
present losses. .
The court, hoping the bondholders would
by reorganization buy the property and pay
off the expense of the receiver's manage
ment, fixed the minimum price at $1,000, -000,
and at another time $1,250,000, but
was nnable to effect a sale on these terms,
and, after waiting more than four years for
the consummation of its hopes, found the
illusion dispelled. The only remedy remain
ing was to sell the property for what it
would bring; which, having been done, the
sale was confirmed by a conrt acquainted
with the property, and must have known
its value. We can, ia the absence of any
evidence as to the value, do nothiug more
than affirm the decree, which is so ordered."

- The news of the decision of the "supremo
court in affirming Judge Fullerton '5 opinion
was made tho occasion of an enthusiastic
celebration on the part of citizens of Corval
iis Monday night. There were fireworks,
firing of anvils, music by the Marine band,
and an address by Hon. John Burnett, from
tho balcony of the Occidental hotel. That
the people of thia section should manifest
their approval of the decision is but natural,
Sinew the fall of 1S91 the road has been,
involved in litigation that seemed intermin
able. This has materially retarded its use
fulness, and the benefits that would have
Otherwise accrued to fhecople living along
the line have been correspondingly dimin
ished. With the decision comes the knowl
edge that tho property has been divorced
from the courts, which, in itself, is regarded
as a most fortunate circumstance to the citi
zens of the Willamette valley. "With them
the personnel of the owners of tho road is of
little consequence. They are interested in
having the property operated by railroad
men of acknowledged ability who have the
business sagacity and capital to make the
enterprise a suecess, and who will at all
times be mindful of the best interests of the
section through which it is operated.
Messrs. Bonner & Hammond the people
generally believe" to be such men, yet the
demonstration Monday night was not intend
ed so much to celebrate the victory scored
by the purchasers of the road, as to Bhow
the feeling that existed because the property
was no longer to be operated under the
management of a receiver.
Judge Burnett addressed the erowd for
half an hour. He referred briefly to the
early history of the O. P. Railroad Compa
ny, paying a tribute to Col. Hogg for the
great benefits he had bestowed upon the
Willamette valley in securing the construc
tion of the road. He then spoke of the fact
of the road going into the hands of a receiv
er, commenting on the different receivers
that had controlled tho road, paying a glow
ing compliment to Charley Clark, tho last
receiver, which wag received with great
applause. He stated that Mr. Clark had
taken charge of the road when it was in
the "slough of despond" with a mountain
of debt upon it and had performed almost a
miracle in making it pay running expenses,
thereby preventing it from being closed
down and perhaps abandoned. The judge
briefly sketched the attempts to sell the
road, and their failure; the anxiety of Judge
Fullerton to save the claims of the men who
had worked on the road, if possible; the
utter inability of the court to do anything
with the elephant until Bonner & Ham
mond appeared on the scene and purchased
the road. He complimented these gentle
men for the manner in which they had im
proved the road and made it safe for the
immense throng that passed over it last
Saturday and Sunday. He also Compli
mented Judges Bryson and McFaddnn for
the able and thorough manner in which they
had presented the case for Bonner & Ham
mond in the supreme court of tho state,
proving that the legal talent of the Corval
iis bar was second to none. Ho then turned
to the future of the road and pictured in
glowing colors its prospects when it should
become a transcontinental road, extending
its feeders nprth to the Columbia river and
south through Eastern Oregon to the Cali
fornia line, making it the grandest and best
paying road in Oregon, to reach its full
development and usefulness when our own
great state becomes tho home of three mil
lions of happy, prosperous people. Ho
closed with an earnest appeal in favor of the
early construction of the Nicaragua canal in
the interest of tho Northwest.
At a meeting of the board of regents of the
State University, held in Portland Tuesday
afernoon, a number of changes were made in
the faculty. Two additional chairs, one of
biology, and the other of political economy
and history, were created. Prof. F. L.
Washburn, of the Agricultural College, was
selected to fill the former, and President F.
G. Young, of Albany College, tho latter.
Professor E. B. McElroy was transferred
from the department of English literature to
that of ethics. Professors Bailay .and Col
lier, who have been connected with the
university for mmy years, were retired.
Prof. J. D. Letcher, of this city, was elected
to the chair of mathematics, formerly held
by Prof. Bailey. The grade of the instuti
tion was advanced one year, which will
place it on an equality with Ann Arbor in
the grade of studies taught. Prof. Letcher
is an ablo mathematician and a thorough
and competent instructor. His election to
the important chair of mathematics will be
of advantage to the institation.
David L. Keys, an old resident of Bsnton
county, died at his home, a few miles west
of Corvaliis, last Saturday afternoon. The
deceased was born in the state of Tennessee,
Dec, 19, 1S22. Until 1863 he was engaged
in farming in the east. That year, with his
family, he moved to Benton county, and
located on the farm where he died. Tho
funeral services occurrad at tho family resi
dence Monday, and wero conducted by Rev.
Gould, The interment took place at the
Newton cemetery.
After three years of active management of
the affairs ot the Benton Mills, R. E. Gibson
has retired. Hereafter the management of
the business of the company will be in the
hands of Punderson Avery.
An Important Business Change.
An important change in Albany business
circles ocenrrred last week. All of the de
tails of snch change have been unobtainable
but the Gazette was fortunate enough to
learn such details as will be of interest to
residents of Bentoa county. A company
was incorporated under the laws of the state
of Oregon, with a capital stock of several
thousand dollars. The new organization
is known as the Klein, Dubruille Co., and
its business will be that of handling boots
and shoes on an extensive seale. . Their
stock is very large and well selected, and
their Vri'JM are iusk " low " can be for
the qnality of goods they are handling.
They carry men's and boys' boots end shoes
in all sizes and styles. But the ladies' de
partment is the one the new firm takes the
most pride in. Here can be fonnd the latest
styles in all widths and sizos. In fact, it is
claimed that their stock is as complete as
that of any house in Portland. The gen
tlemen comprising the new firm are well
known, both in social aud business circles,
and their success ia their recent venture
almost a certainty, ' '
DEATH OF
He Was Stricken byvApopIexy
Sunday Morning.
Last Sunday morning the sad intelligence
was flashed over the wires that Judge R. S.
Strahan had dropped dead, a victim of
apoplexy, while on the way to his office in
the city of Portland. He bad loft home
that morning about 8 o'clock, and had gone
to the depot t-i inat-t the mjiobsrs of the
supreme court ou tiieir way from Pendleton
toSalein. Having completed his business
with those gentlumen, he started for his
office in the Abington building on Third
street, which he readied about 9:30 o'chjetl
The elevator was not running, an'., as he
felt in nnusual good health, I13 started
briskly np the stvrs. II lial raiuhed the
second landing and commenced to climb the
second flight of stairs, when the grim sum
mons came.. A few moments af tar, the j in
itor of the building found his lifeless body
lying on the stairs; his face suffused with
blood, indicating that an artery had burst.
The following sketch of ths dead jurist's
life is taken from Mouday's O.-cgonia.i:
Reuben S. Strahan was born in Lawrence
county, Ky., January 1, 1835, and came to
Oregon by the Panama raute in 1865, set
tling iu Corvaliis, Bsnton county, and en
tered at once into the practice of law. Be
ing of fine attainments and a lawyer of more
than ordiuary ability, his worth was speed
ily recognized, and iu 1868 he was elected
prosecuting attorney of the second judicial
district, which office he held for two years.
In 1870 he was elected as state senator to
represent Bsnton county, holding the posi
tion for four years. In 1876 he removed to
Albany, Linn county, where he gained addi
tional renown, as a jurist, and, during the
senatorial campaign of 1878, ho first came
prominently before the people of the state.
A successor to Senator John H. Mitchell
was to be elected. The democrats were in
control of the legislature, and bitter strife
ensued over the election. There were four
prominent democrats seeking the cancus
nomination for senator. They were James
H. Slater, of La Grande; Reuben S. Strhan,
James W. Nesmith, of Polk connty, and
John Burnett, of Benton county. No one of
the four candidates could control a sufficient
number of vetes.to insure a caueus nomina
tion, and for a time it looked as though a
deadlock wonld result. Finally Judge
Strahan, seeing no possibility of his own
election, and desirous that some choice be
made, made a compromise. His support
was to go to Slater, on the expressed condi
tion that at ths next senatorial election the
Eastern Oregon legislators would stand for
him. Nathaniel H. Gates, of Wasco coun
ty, and other members gave the pledge, and
as a result Slater was nominated. Unlnck-
ily for Strahan, from that session to the
present day the democrats have never had
control of the legislature, so the promise
oculd nsvar be kept.
In 1886 Judge Strahan was elected as
upreme judf,e, defeating John B. Waldo,
aud four years later became chief justice by
righ t of succession. In the general practice
of the law, Judge Strahan proved success
ful. In criminal law a remarkable feature
of his practice was that he never lost a case
when his client was on trial for capital pun
ishment. On the bench, as supreme judge,
ha made a host of friends,' through his cour
teous and fair treatment of all parties and
subjects. His opinions have comrqandad
attention throughout the country, many of
them finding a place in the American state
reports, the Lawyers' Annotated Reports
and in tho law magazines and other jour
nals. -
Judge Strahan was a representative of
that class known as salf-made men, having
wrought out his life by personal effort.
Throughout his mtnhood he continued a
diligent and persistent student of bis pro
fession. He hid unbounded f.iith in the
life of any man, who as a boy with natural
ability adopted a fixed line of duty or busi
ness, and with percverauce adhered to the
line. Such had been his own life.
He was a member of the Masonic fratetni
ty and Knights of Pythias, one of the or
ganizers of the Farmers' and Merchants'
Fire Insurance Company, of Oregon, and an
active promotar of public imprjvi ment in
Albany. He was interested in every enter
prise locking to the develop
ment and bonehe ot that oity. lie re
moved to Portland three years ago engaging
in the practice of bis profession, and has
built up a good business. He leaves two
ohildren, Clauds and Fayuu, and thsir fa
ther's sudden death fell with duelling effect
yesterday morning.' Au elder daughter,
Fannie, died at Atlanta, Ga., three years
ago, after a long illness.

Ed Soott had been capw
of Umatilla county,. at is.
that the prisoner was.incarcV
city awaiting the arrival of.
officers. Deputy Sheriff Ji

returned with Scott yesterday:
-. While under arrest tha 4th of JV 1894,
for some slight municipal offansefcott at
tempted the life of Officer 'Mrc'Lagtn. A
street light ensued in. which'. soma twenty
shots were exchanged,' and after au exciting
chaseJSoott was captured and bound over
to await the' action of the grand j ury. Abou t
a month later he aud a fellow prisoner, one
Hall, made their escape, by cutting away a
piece of the front door of the jail, but Were
recaptured without much difficulty. Scott
had been nnder the care of a physician, who
pronounced his health to be in a Serious con
dition, and he was allowed the freedom of
the front room of the jail. On August 3rd,
1S94, the pair again made their escape, by
the aid of a small saw with which thsy cut
a hole through the 3i inches of floor, suffi
ciently large to permit them to gat through.
Although Scott was soen to crawl from un
der ths building and mount a horse that
was tied conveniently near,- his escape was
made with such dispatch that the officers
never got sight of him again, and until the
present time ho has been successful iu avad -
