THURSDAY - SEPT.TT1911 LAW APPLIES ONLY TO MOTOR VEHICLES Lewis K. Irving Gets Opinion From Attorney General on Much Dis cussed "Motor Vehicle Law" Considerable discussion has been had over the new law with reference to lights on vehicles traveling on the county roads nfter dark, and some of the loca merchants have received adver tising matter stating that the law was taken to mean all horse drawn vehicles as well as motor vehicles. The following is a letter re ceived by Attorney Lewis H. Irving from the Attorney Gen eral expressing his interpretation of the law: Salem, Aug. 23, 1911. Mr. Lewis H. Irving, Madras, Oregon. Dear Sir: Answering your favor of the 21st inst., submitting the ques tion whether the Motor Vehicle Law, of this State, found at page 2G5, Session Laws ot 1911, re quires vehicles, other than motor vehicles to carry lights at night, I beg to say that Section 12 of said Act contains the following provision; "Every motor vehicle shall ' during the period from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise display at least two white lamns in front and one red light in the rear of such vehicle ' ' ' provided that motor bicycles or motor cycles ana an ve hicles other than motor cars shall be required to display but one lighted lamp, etc. You will notice that there is no provision in the language above quoted which requires any vehicle, except motor vehicles, to carry any lamps at all, and the proviso, last quoted, exempts motor bicycles, motor cycles and other vehicles, other than motor cars from carrying more than one lamp: it is well settled that proviso performs the office of a limitation or contradiction of what has preceded it. Applying this rule, the proviso limits the three lamps required to be used on motor cars to one lamp on motor bicycles, etc. It is fin ther provided in Section 33: "This Act shall be known as the Oregon Motor Vehicle Law, etc., showing that it is intend ed to apply especially to motor vehicles, and in Section 34: I NEW INDUSTRY FOR CENTRAL OREGON Organization of Central Oregon Live Stock Sales Association Will Stim ulate Breeding of Fine Animals NEW RULING WILL AFFECT ENTRYMEN "The purpose, object and intent ot this Act is to pro vide a comprehensive system for the regulation ot all mo tor vehicles in this state, ex- pnnr.. that nothintr herein contained shall bedeemei to apply to traction engines, road rollers, fire wagons and tire engines.' It will, therefore, be seen that while other vehicles are referred to in several parts of the Act, especially in Section 2, and are defined in Section 1, the require ment for carrying lamps, regis tered numbers and the registra- ion license of vehicles and their drivers apply only to motor ve liicles. Very respectfully yours, A. M. CRAWFORD, Attorney General By I. II. VAN WINKLE, Asst. Attorney General Steps have been taken by Cen tral Oregon people to exploit one of the greatest resources of that region that has heretofore been neglected. This is the usefu horse. To stimulate breeding o: fine animals, the Central Oregon Live Stock Sales association has been formed, with headquarters at Redmond, and hereafter sales of horses will be held on the third Monday of each month at that point. The object is to establish a bit? horse market, where breeders will come in touch with buvers and rind fair prices for their stock. The organization is nnr for the benefit of Redmond alone. nor is it intended for the nrofit of association members, but it will help every section and com munity of Central Oregon, even to the rancher in the foothills. The outside buyer, it is hp. lieved, will come to a sale whorp he can pick from a bunch of 400 or 500 head, when if he has to travel from ranch to ranch, hp is not attracted. All classes of horses, from bronchos to thn fin. est riding and draft horses, will be offered. Central Oretron hns exploited its alfalfa, sheep, wool and cattle, but little has h said about its horses. Yet it produces thousands of fine ani mals, climate and all conrli'f iWin being favorable to the best de velopment of the horse, and thn new plan will nrobablv add fn the importance of the industry. ! After December lit Homesteadora Must Show Proof of Resldonce for Full Flvo Yoars Circular No. 46, from the United States Land Office at The Dalles, Oregon, containing new instructions to homestead entry- men relative to "Constructive Residence," was received this week by United States Land Commissioner Turner. The cir cular is issued by Samuel Adams, acting secretary, Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C, under date of August 18, 1911, and reads in part as follows: "In the matter of proof sub mitted under the homestead law, it seems that a practice has ex isted according to entrymen, where residence is begun within six months following the date of entry, credit for residence be ginning with the date of entry. The result is that where a party takes up an actual residence just at the exniration of Hir v months following the making of his entry, he is accorded a con structive residence for the inter vening six months and is thus permitted to secure title on proof of residence for a neriod of onlv four years and six months. The practice of according credit for constructive residence covering the period of six months following the allowance of the entry is, perhaps, due to an er roneous interpretation of section 2297 of the Revised Stntnfnn k . n-vwUf MJ which section it is provided that on proof to the satisfaction of the register and receiver that a person has actually changed his residence or abandoned the land covered by his homestead entry for more than six months at anv one time. then, in that event, the land so entered shall revert to the Government. While said section may protect a home steader from contest .for aband onment for a period of six months following the allowance of his entry, it is clearly not authority for according the entrvman credit for constructive residence during that period. "After most careful and ma ture consideration of this matter I feel it my duty to disregard the erroneous practice heretofore obtaining in your office and to direct that you exact of home stead entrymen proof of residence for the full period of five years, as required by the statute, before the same can be approved as a basis for the issuance of patent thereon. Because of the long practice heretofore prevailing, I believe it right and proper to give ample time for notice of the contemplated change before put ting the same into effect. I have, therefore, to advise you that in all instances where ordinary final proof is submitted under the homestead laws on or after the 1st day of December next, the law as above interpreted be followed."
