Be it enacted by the Legislative
Assembly of the State of Oregon:
Section i. The homestead of any
family shall beexemptfromjihlici.il
sale for the satisfaction of any lia
bility hereafter contracted, or for
the satisfaction of any judgement
hereafter obtained on such debt.
Section 2. Such homestead must
be the actual abode of, and owned
by, such family or some members
thereof.
Section 3. Such homestead shall
not exceed fifteen hundred dollars
iu value, nor exceed on hundred
and sixty acres in extent, if not lo
cated in a town or city la4 off into
blocks and lots; if located in any
such town or city, then it shall not
exceed one block; but in no instance
shall such homestead be reduced to
less than twenty acres nor one lot,
regardless of value.
Section 4. This act shall not
apply to decrees for the foreclosure
of any mortgage property executed;
but if the owner of such homestead
be married, then, it shall be execut-1
ed by husband and wife.
Section 5. When any officer
shall levy upon such homestead.
the owner thereof, husband, wife,
agent or attorney for such owner,
may notify such officer that he
claims such premises as his home
stead, describing the same by metes
and bounds, lots or block, or legal
subdivision of the United States;
whereupon such officer shall notify
the creditor of such claim, and if
such homestead shall exceed the
minimum in this act, and he deem
it of greater value than fifteen hun
dred dollars, then he may direct the
sheriff to select three disinterested
householders of the county, who
shall examine and appraise such
homestead, under oath, commenc
ing with the twenty acres or lot up
on which the dwelling is located,
appraising such lot or twenty acres
separately; and if the same exceed

sheriff shall sell all in excess of
fifteen hundred dollars by lots, or
smallest legal subdivision, ordering
them in the order directed by the
judgement debtor, if he chooses to
direct; otherwise he shall sell the

.hundred dollars and proceed to sell
the homestead as he might hereto
fore have done, adding the said fif

the money aforesaid shall be ex
empt from execution.
Section 7. The homestead afore
said shall be exempt from sale on
any judicial process after the death
of the person entitled thereto for
the collection of any debts for which
the same could not have been sold
during the lifetime, but such home
stead shall descend as if death did
not exist.
Approved February 21, 1893.
Governor Pennoyer was opposed
to Oregon making an exhibit at the
world's fair. He opposed it on
principle, and when the governor
takes a stand on principle he stays
there until the volcanoes freeze
over. It now looks as if the gover
nor has appointed a board of mana
gers who are in sympathy with his
viesw. At all events, the report",
that come from Chicago concerning
the Oregon exhibit are of a very
discouraging character. Kx-Min-
ister Thompson says that when he
went into the Oregon quarters he
felt ashamed that he was an Ore-
gonian. Others who have been to
the fair tell the same story. It is
mortifying to have such confessions,
but there is no way tododge around
the trouble. From descriptions we
have had of the Oregon exhibit we
can imagine pretty well what it is.
it the same old oulfft that the immi
gration board and the horticultural
society have had on exhibition at
the Portland exposition for the last
three or four years'. There are the
same glass jars filled with brandy
peaches, cherries and apricots, a nil
arranged on a lon;j Much in about
the same way we hate seen them
so often. The exhibit lookn pretty
! well in our exposition building, but
I it is almost lost in view in the great
j show at Chicago. Telegram.
June 8, 1S93.
Ancient History but no Facts,
T ...
1 ne corvaius uazette gave a
labored two column article last week
m wnicn 11 auer.iptea to make a
statement of the trouble between
the two counties. It was simply
another case of a mountain laboring
and bringing forth a mole.
Hie greater part of the article
consists of ancient history. The
startling statements that Senator
Crosno was elected in 1800 ami
Representatives Helkuap and Jef-
irey s wevo eiecteu in 1802 is as
well known to the people of both
counties as his next statement that
the county was divided near the
middle in 1893. None of these
statements have anything to do
with the question now at issue.
The statement, however, that
the majority of the ta. payers in
the portion cut off did not wish such
action taken, while not germane to
the question, is absolutely false.
Senator Crosno has a petition now
in his office on which there are over
600 signatures asking for such di
visions, and tiiat more tliau consti
tutes a majority of the taxpayers of
Lincoln county.
He asserts that the clerk of Hen
ton county was unable to make
out the taxroll in the time prescribe
ed by law and deliver the sameto
the clerk of Lincoln county K 'for
several good and sufficient reasons,"
but a total failure is made to men
tion a single one ot the reasons.
And when it was finally received it
was a mass of errors and omissions
that the Lincoln county courtvwere
fully justified in not paying for the
same. As for the papers iu the
circuit court, it did not devolve up
on Lincoln county to pay for such
transcript but the litigants, and the
fees should follow the cases.
The assertion that the provisions
of section 5, of the bill dividing the
county are difficult to construe is
absolutely untenable. Knglish
languish could not make it plainer.
Take the clause referring to the tax
roll; "The county clerk of IJenton
county shall, within thirty days
after this act shall have gone into
operation, make out and deliver to
the county clerk of Lincoln county
a transcript of all taxes assessed up
on persons and property within the
said county of Lincoln which was
previously included within the
limits of Benton county." Could
language make that any plainer?
The very same clause is to be found
in every county division bill passed
in Oregcn for years, and it remained
for Benton county to be the first
parent county to attempt in any
manner to cloud or befog the mean
ing of the clause. And again the
clause concerning the payment of
taxes could not be plainer; "And
all taxes which shall remain unpaid
upon the day this act shall become
a law shall be paid to the proper
officials of Lincoln county." And
in the face of as plain language as
above employed the proper officers
of Benton county could not under
stand their duty and were compell
ed to consult "a legal adviser" as
to what they hhould do. Such ad
mission does not speak in very ex
alted terms of the intelligence of
the officers of Iieiiton county who
were compelled to seek such ad
vice. The statement that the roll as
turned over contains all the proper
ty in the precincts or parts of pre
cincts of Lincoln county is abso
lutely untrue, as a glance at the
roll will determine.
As to the sheriff of Lincoln coun
ty making assessments on property
not found 011 the roll wc would say
that the law makes it his plain duty
to do so. He can have no official
knowledge outride of his tax roll
and when he finds property in Lin
coin county not on that roll he must
assess the same or violate his oath
of office. And when parties have
paid their whole lax t Benton
county where a part of it belongs
to Lincoln, it seci,is to us that they
have .proper recourse against the
sheriff of Benton county who wrong
fully collected the tax.
The Corvallis people are greatly
worked up over the probable re
moval of the carriage works to
Portland. There M but little doubt
but that it w ill !e removed.
In Australia they utilize barbwire
fences for telephonic purposes.
Lincoln county sits on a sea
board market, with a direct line of
steamers to the best produce mar.
ket ox the Pacific coast .
What Lincoln county needs is
is more ground cultivated, The ef
fort to wrest a, living from one or
two acres ot cultivated ground is
futile.
The remarkable fertility of Lin
coln county's soil enables the farmer
to raise potatoes at a profit at the
small price of 30 cents per bushel.
But the price runs much above that
for the greater part of the time.
..
The jute mill at the California
state prison has 1,213,700 jute bags
on hand which it is unable to sell.
This does not augur well for the
proposed jute mill which will be
put in at the Oregon state peniten
tiary.
.
The Michigan legislature has
passed a law compelling railroad
companies to give all state officials
Iree passes. In Oregon the rail
roads have always found it profit
able to give state officials free pass,
es, and they have never had to wait
for a Jaw, either,
There is not a better opening
for the establishment of a creamery
on the Pacific coast than at Toledo.
The milk from 500 cows can be ob
tained from the territory contiguous
to this place. We are within forty
hours transportation to the. best
market on the coast, San Francisco.
A practical creamery man can find
no better place than Toledo to lo
cate.
The transcript of a case in court
when accompanied by the originnl
papers ought not to exceed two
folios, or twenty cents, The Clerk
of Benton county copied nil papers
and then sent them under the cover
of a C. O. I).' It was a regular
confidence game; a kind of green
goods affair, but it remains to be
seen whether it will work or not,
e e 1 , ,
Times promise to be somewhat
livelier than usual on the lower
Alsea this summer. 'The saw mill
of Harrison &Son have gotten two
fairsized lumber contracts, one for
200,000 feet of spruce lumber for 0
San Francisco firm for manufacture
of boxes and the other calls for ioo,
006 foet of clear cedar lumber for a
Portland firm. In addition to this
both canneries will also run during
the season. This will distribute
considerable money in that section
of the county for labor and supplies,

' The Salem Statesman vigorously
denies the charge that the people of
Salem are behind the injunction
suit in connection with the location
of the Soldier's Home at Roseburg,
but asserts on the contrary that the
people of Salem with but one or
two exceptions desire to see the
Home located at Roseburg and the
branch asylum located in Fastem
Oregon. The Statesman is evident
ly taking a tumble to the fact that
the people of the state of Oregon
are not convinced that Salem is the
only town in the state.

We have received the prosjicctus
of the State Agricultural college at
Corvallis. That is a grand institu
tion, but less attention should be
paid to Latin and Greek, Calculus
and rhetoric, and more to corned
beef and cabage, spuds and cucum
bers. Our agricultural college
should be maintained almost exclu
sively for the instruction of students
iu the science, art and ground work
of making several blades of grass
grow where only one grew before-
aud in making things grow bigger
and better and more to the acre
If the managers of this college will
quit flying so high, and get down
to the soil and what is iu it and
what can be got out of it, then the
jx-ople of Oregon will stand by it
and make a great institution out of
it. Oregon needs more good farm
ers, stock men, cow men, hen men,
. ... 1
gardeners, iruit men, etc., worse
than any thing e!;e. An agricul
tural college no p'.ace to teach boys
to wear stand-up collars and "btled"
shirts aud look do wn on their fathers
who have to dig in the dirt and
their mothers who have to rub at
the washboard to keep the "biled"
shirts clean. Salem Statesman.

Wonder, if the county clerk of
Benton county consulted his "legal
adviser" in the matter of the tran
script of , the circuit and county
court cases. The. bill says that he
shall make a transcript of pending
cases and transfer all original pa
pers in the cases to Lincoln county,
Intead of making the transcript of
the cases he copied all the pleadings
and original papers, and sent them
together with the original papers
under the cover of a C, O, D. to
Lincoln county, No transcript of
the cases as required by law hat)
ever been turned over to Lincoln
county. The transcript of the cases
at the legal rate of ten cents per fo.
lio would cost, probably, five dol
lars. The mass of stuff sent C. O,
D. had a bill of $68.50 attached to
it. The whole thing resembles
