Oregon Supreme Court Awards
E. 0. Hall Land Claimed
! By E. O'Connell.
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.

NEW RULE MADE.
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.

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."

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?
Let us stop closing business up and try opening
it up instead
