then told him that a telegram had
beeu received by the Guard, stating
that I he decision of the lower court wus
affirmed,
'Does that mean I will not get
another trial?" Branton queried.
"Yes," answered, the attorney. "But
I am allowed 20 days in which to file a
motion for a rehearing."
Branton then asked If a rehearing
meant that the case would come up f.r
trial In regular court, and it was ex
plained to him by his attorney, who
Btated that if granted it would only be
presented In the form of briefs.
Branton was smiling and good
natured turouh the entire visit and
thanked Ihe men who came to give
him the news. No direct Illusion to
the hanging was made during the con
versation either by Branton or the
visitors, and one could scarcely Im
agine that a man was being told his
lease on life was growing so short
that the days marked Its passing.
The case was argued out week ago
Another "Graft."
Portland Telegram.
All manner of grafts were Idden in
the bills introduced duri.'g the late
session of the legislature. Koine passed
by reasou of carelessness, and tome
went through purposely.
The most uotorlous of all the grafts
is incoiporated In Senator .Harmon's
bill creating a law for the registration
of voters, i i.i- bill bears a very lu
nocent appearauce until It comes to the
clause providing for the payment mil
of the Multnomah county treasury of
10 cents for each voter registered to the
Multnomah county clerk. In addition
to this the bill provides for the pay
ment of $H0O0 to be divided among the
other county clerka of Oregon, for
similar service.
The vote of this county next year, it
is calculated, will be 20 (MM), thus allow
ing ihe county clerk $2000 above his
salary as regulated by the statutes.
"This Is another evldenceof the in
sincerity aud incompetency of the last
legislature," remarked a gentleman
tills afternoon, who Invited u TbIi gram
man's attention to this feature of the
registration bill.
"The last legislature was elected ou
a platform promising the strict, st
economy In the handling ol public
funds. Here they throw away 110,000
biennially where ihere is not Hie
slightest occasion so to do. What
surprises me Is that they didn't loot
the stale treasury, aud hypothecate
the taxes for the uext two years.
"Why the Multnomah county clerk,
or in fact, the clerk of any county In
the stale, should be paid 10 cents per
name for registering voters is a ciuestiou
susceptible lo explanation.
"In California, f-r Instance, the
clerks of the various lounties employ
a clerk for two or three months pre
ceding an election, paying hUn a slip-
i ulated salary, rarely ceedlng per
month, to tegister votes. This could
... u;n havH la-en done here. It Is a
matter of doubt, in my mind, as to
whether it costs h- much as $2000 to
register the voter- ol 98 Francisco
county."
I.ANK OCHTT.
This bill will cost Lane county is
tween $400 and $500, al we will have
between 4,000 aud 6,000 regletrallone.
Our voters should remember the loot
legislature. It was a disgraceful affair.

E.DIT0B GOAJU): Will you kindly
allow me, through the (li'AKH, to
answer a statement uutde by Mr 0
Cole of Mohawk, aud published in the
Ul AKnof Feb 20, In w hich Mr Cole
said that the meeting held at the
station! school house recently, did not
represent tho property Interests of the
valley relative to the Mohawk river
and Mill creek franchise given to the
Booth-helley Co. lu fact, he said, tho
people that owned the lauds, ho
believed, were In harmony with the
action of the county court, In the
matter.
Now, in answer to Mr Cole, I was
chairman uf that meeting and know
and will state the exact facts iu regard
to the property Interests represented at
Mohawk meeting of which Mr Cole
speaks. This meeting was held at the
Stalford school house In lower Mohawk
am! the resolutions of that meeting
denouncing the action of the Lane
county court, relative to the Mohawk
Mill Creek franchise glveu to the
Booth Kelley Co, wus indorsed by a
unanimous voto of laud owners, own
ing 4,7.10 acres of laud on the banks of
the Mohawk, yet Mr Colo makes a
positive statement that this meeting
did not represent the properly Interests,
when it is a vosltlve tuct that Mr Cole
did uot atteud said meetlug lu (iue
tlou, therefore is uot iiualllied to make
a positive statement as to the property
Interests represented ut said meeting.
Mr Cole further said that lie believed
that the land owners were in harmouy
with the action of the county court iu
the matter. Now I cau uot answei for
the people of upper Mohawk aud Mill
Crtek, but the DSoplS of lower Mohawk
w ere at the lime of said Mohawk meet
lug not lu harmony with the action of
the couuty court aud are uot at the
present time, and by Mr Cole stating
thai he believes they ure In harmony
with the county court in mo mutter
shows that lie has not consulted the
wishes of the people.
