The Oregon Supreme Court yes terday reversed the decision of the circuit court In the case of E. O. Hall T8. Eugene O'Connell, thereby award ing to Mr. Hall land near the staro mill valued at more than $15,000. The case was bitterly fought In the lower court and also In tho Supreme Court and on account of tho rapid increase in tho value of the property recently was closely watched. Tho controversy was over whether or not the property was transferred under tho terms of what Is known as a resulting trust to Mr. O'Connell lor Mr. Hall or whether Mr. O'Con nell bought It for himself. According to Hall's claims, he iiud arranged with Mrs. Elizabeth Schet ter of Oakland for the purchaso of tho tract of about twelve acres for $700. His plans for securing tho money to pay for It did not material ize and ho went to Mr. O'Connell to borrow It. Instead of giving a mort gage on tho property, he had it deed ed directly to Mr. O'Connell as secu rity for tho loan. Later Mr. Hall says he appeared and offered to pay the debt and have tho property transferred to him. Mr. O'Connell disputed Mr. Hall's claim and won a victory In tho lower courts. Under the decision of tho Supreme Court yesterday, Mr. Hall will have to pay ?700 and interest thereon on tho several years to Mr. O'Connell but the latter will have to transfer tho tract to Mr. Hall, Coke and Coke represented Mr. Hall in tho legal fight for tho property. The Supreme Court also dismissed tho motion to dismiss tho appeal of tho Deaver Hill Coal Company in the case of James Ferrari. Tho suit was a personal Injury case and Ferrari won in tho lower courts. COOS COUNTY POLITICS. View Of It as Told by Deli'ates to Portland Convention. PORTLAND, MAY 1 t. Tho ad vance guard of delegates to the Re publican Stato and Congressional conventions is in tho city. It consists of four of the six delegates from Coos county who arrived on tho Breakwater. They are C. A. Selil brede and F. K. Gettins, proxy for Colonel Rosa of Uandon, both coin ing from Coos Cay; Peter Logglo of North Bend, and J. AV. Clinton, Nor way. Tho other two delegates nro A. E. Anderson of Marshfield, and C. R. Harrow of Coqullle. "Tho Coos county delegates are uninstructed," said Mr. Sohlbredo. "We havo from tho beginning avoid ed getting tangled up in any way with tho contending elements which seek tho control of tho convention and tho selection of delegates to the National Convention. Coos county is decisively a Republican county and It will be the purpose of tho delega tion to participato only in such ac tion as will redound to tho credit of tho party. Wo havo not been In structed for Taft or for any other candldato and boforo selecting a choli'o deslro to ascertain the general sentiment of tho state." Paity Itrouk In Coos. Theso dolegntes report that be tween the Democrats and Independ ent Statement No. 1 candidates a strong effort is being inado to defeat tho regularly-nominated legislative candidates of tho Republicans In Coos and Curry count lea. The Coos coun ty Republican Convention nominated an nntl-statoment legislative ticket by a big majority. A week after tho primaries two independent candidates entered tho contest on a Statement No. 1 plat form. R. D. Ilumo, a former mem ber of tho Legislature and a wealthy resident of Wedderbum, becamo a candidate for Joint Senator, and a man named Doyle, also of Wedder bum, camo out In opposition to Mr. Muncy for Joint Representative. As i result it Is feared by tho supporters of tho regular Republican nominees that in view of tho agitation on Sta tement No. 1 and the disaffection of tho eloinont In tho Republican partj that was defeated In tho prliuarleb, the Domocrats may elect tho Joint Senator If not tho Joint Representa tive aB well.

General Land Office to Cut Epcnsc of Kntrymen. WASHINGTON, May 14. Under the terni3 of a new circular of the General Land Office, approved under date of April 30, 1908, Commissioner Fred Dennett, of that office, Is pre paring instructions under which, In cases where commutation proof upon homestead entries has been rejected and tho certificates and receipts is sued thereon canceled, leaving tho original entry Intact, subject to fu ture compliance with law and sub mission of new proof, the entryman on making new commutation proof, will bo permitted to receive credit for tho payment of purchaso money, made when his original certificate issued. Under tho former practice ho was required to make a new payment when submitting the now proof, and obtain tho return of the money ori ginally paid by application for re payment, which process necessarily Involved delay and In many cases forced homestead entrymen to bor row money with which to make pay ment upon the new proof. The practice Inaugurated by the new cir cular will not only relieve homestead entrymen from annoyance and ex pense, but will materially lessen the work of the Land Department In this class of cases.

(KltOM THE Om-XJOXIAN AI'UITj 23, 1IIOH) I'roaches Against Ilopplcklng. OREGON CITY, April 2S (Special) Hev. John M. Linden, pastor of tho Flrbt liaptlst church, has instituted a vigorous cru sade agaliibt tho members of his church picking hops, stating that It is encouraging tho liquor Interests. In a sermon Sunday night, before a crowded church, he said. "It requires a quickened con science to crystallize action against hop-picking, which Is part of the process of beer-making." a Suggestion A t I t ! i i What do you think of the prohibition side of the ques tion? It's in the sermon. In 1907 Oregon hop growers raised and marketed FOUR MILLION DOLLARS worth of hops. If Oregon is voted "dry" no market in the world will take Oregon hops. If Oregon votes for prohibition, Oregon brewers will have no use for barley or hops. Do Oregon hop growers want to pay FOUR MILLION DOLLARS a year for the experiment?
