According to the Teh-cram, the lladdon Hall was dlsputi hed by U. W. McNear, and hers Is the uru lull wheat cargo to clear from a I'aclllo coast port for Japan. The ll.idilon Hall, therefore, Is the pioneer t wheat carriers to Japanese ports, and McNear Is the first agent to dispatch a full cargo to that coun try. Several tmiull lots of wheat have been dircd from l'ortland and l'uget round orl for Yokohama and Nagas aki. They went by steamers, the bulk of tho cargo of which was consigned' to Hong Kong. The dispatching of the lladdon Hall Is, In a measure, an experiment, and the result will be waited by the shipping men with a great deul of Interest. Those who attended the opening night of the Moore-Uoberts Company at the opera house last evening were de lighted with tho performance. There was a fair attendance. In the pro duction of "Mrs. Qulnn's Twins" the company proved to be an unusually strong combination. Indeed, the Moore- Hoberts people are a strong combina tion throughout the excellent reuar- tolru which they have selected. Dur ing their engagement In Portland last season they were obliged to show In tho Metropolitan, a house suffering from loss of prestlgo save with cheap er classes. After the first couple of performances, the Metropolitan was piu ked every night while Cordray's and tho Marquam were doing only an ordlnnry business. Not much stronger Indication of merit could be given. Miss Moore and Mr. Huberts, the stars,' are certulnly exceedingly clever peo ple, ranking high among the ' better class In their profession. Tonight "A I'rodlgal Father" will be produced. It Is a good play. HKAL KSTATB TRANSFERS. United Slates to John M. Feely, MHithwext quarter of section 29, UN, 11 S west; patent.

BUT RAISES POINT OF HIS OWN final Action In the All-Absorbing (Jucstlon May be Taken by the County Court Today. There I now. little, If any, doubt as to what will lie done with the "three roads" pUtln. Jo all trolabllty the whole propiisltloii aiIi come up before the county court some tune this after noin and be disposed of. There Is a Ian poNilhlllty of action being de fined until tomorrow morning, owing to the work of chei king off the names Uii pr unfinished, but us '.here are only about "J more to i amli e as to quali fication, It Is believed that final dispo sition of the matter can be made before thu HUH adjournment of tne court. As the matter staims now ther Is tvery n-uson to believe that the county court will act favoruiily upon the peti tion as the opinion of the district at torney bruihes uway any obstacles that may have arlt. ii through the fil ing" of the remonstrance. A'toincy differ as to whether a itl lion, thoroughly competent and meet ing dll ti e statutory lequlreinents, ren der favorable action bv the county court compulsory or optional. How ever, this point Is of no consequence as It is generally understood that the (ommlsiloncis are Individual)' In favor of granting the petition and proceed ing to make the levy of five mills for the spcciilc purpose of carrying out the wot k designated. This done, the next thing on the pro gram will he the appointment of the hccc.cry road commissioners and, later, the selection of the kind of ma terial to be used III the c instruction ol the road. This will be determined hugely with reference to the relative adat lability i f the various materials tu this soil und climate. The relative cost, too, will be considered. Light on this ooint will be obtained through the volnitallon of Lid from contractors. Wu give below the full text of Dis trict Attorney Cleelon's opinion: "In accoi dance with your request for mi opinion of the validity of a certain pctUlon fur county roads to be con kliU'.ted In tiutsop county, I will say llial, not being acquainted with cer tain c.sm-i'ilal lucls. 1 will htule my opinion hyputhethully. The matter in the ha;e presented is somewhat dllll- j cult and has not been paused upon by I out courts. The objections, as I am ; iurr.iied, ure, lin.t. that sections 2241-2. page 10H, do not apply to county roads, 'i liis objection Is not well tounded. 1 They certainly do refer to county i roads. llli;licus, used in this connec- I t in, nteun public roads, which, of course, means county rouds. Of this I think there can be no reasonable doubt. "As to the second objection that there should be three separate peti tions. I think that the petition setting out the description of the three roads feuuul-l but upon piece of paper Is sutticlelit. "Under the statute as to the third objection that the roads are not de signated as county roads, I think is equat'y Ill-founded. It is true the pe tition does not say In direct words that the roads described are in Clatsop county and are county roads, but It says so ty Implication. It mentions mimeij of places as starting points well known to be wholly within the county and, it seems, could hardly be con strued In any other way. "This disposes of the three objections that hae been urged In the remon strance. "There Is to my mind a more serious objection than either of those men tioned, and tine upon which I entertain grave doubts. This statute embracing seotniiis 2:111-2 certainly applies to county roads, but does It apply to roads laid out and established, or does It ap ply ns well to roads In contemplation. ThU seems to me the dltllcult question. "If these roods described In the peti tion ar already hud out and estaB llshcd. then It is my opinion that you are within the law and are warranted la rt aking the levy. If the roads de Fcribcd are not laid out then the ques tion arises: fan they be laid out In the way asked for in this petition. The statute gives specific directions how a county road may be laid out and It is doubtful If there Is any other way. The expression 'construct' used In the statutes might, on a liberal Interpretation, apply to roads not yet located. So, to conclude, I will sum up by saying that If your roads are laid out and estab lished that is, located your levy will be valid. If they have not been laid out. but a iv wholly In contemplation, I think the safest way would be to Iny them out, according to law, anil then proceed as you have. Yet, 1 will not say that 1 am certain I am in doubt on that point, inclining as much to the one side as to the other." SOLFILINE. Solflllne! Solflilne!

A question of much profundity came up for discussion in the police court the other day during a learned debate over the sncredness of a Chinese oath or, in other words, a regulation ' s'elpn.e" oath taken by a Chinaman. Tne matter was argued at length by all hands when an Interpreter man aged to get in a word and announce that a Chinese oath, to be fully binding and dlsnlrted, involved the ceremony of cutting off the head of a chicken in the presence of the witness and his august majesty, the judge. As It was only a petty misdemeanor case, with a safe bet on conUctlon, anyway, this solemn formality was dispensed with. Over In Tillamook they nre having a real nice little time over road mat ters. The farmers have stopped milk ing cows to "go to town" to tell the editor of the Headlight what a "goll durned shameful pass things is comln' to." At last, the editor waxes warm under this unsolicited burden and, taking a piece of cheese in one hand and hla trusty quill in the other, deliv ers himself as follows: "How fickle some people are. They will whoop it up for candidates before election, but no sooner does these candidates get something contrary to their wishes. when they turn round and call them darned rascals. Then calling upon the editor with their tale of woe want the pencil pusher to take up their fight for them while they remain in the dark. We're not built that way. When things don't go exactly to suit the edi tor he grits his teeth and saws wood and, furthermore, waits with a patient. complacent smile for the proper time to nit the nail on the head and drive it right home." Then the Tillamook man drifts Into a reflective mood and soliloquizes: "Politics makes strange bed fellows, now don't It? And Tilla mook is no exception to the rule. It's Ftranse, but it's true, men who hate one another, widely differ in religious moral thought and who can never be made to acclimatize, all Jump Into the same boat, rowing together when it conies to politics.' The Tillamook editor refuses to hide his light under a bushel even though It be a Headlight. C. 10. T. Make allowance for the follies of youth.
