At the eoun i rll meeting night before last William Sheahan brought up a question that It food for thought, or more correctly, food .; for "drink." He related how he Jiad peen a couple of"boee drUiklng out of the public founUlnand ahortly after -. lady came along and gave her. two 1 . little children a drink out J the cup that the tramps had used. - Now here 1 a question. The Humane- society went to great expense end trouble to erect the fountain for the one purpose, name ly, to give suffering humanity the re- f reshment that It should have In a char itable way. One member f the coun cil last night suggested that the cup ' ; be taken away. 'If the city council is '.going to make a sweeping campaign on !. filth and disease their energies could be " expended in other directions with bet- ter results. In passing It might be well ; to add .that these energies could be use In Investigating the way , slops and garbage ate 1 handled In, Oregon City. . There is a particular slop wagon that' visits Oregon City that cap be-smelt ' five blocks away and the wind does not have to be In :your" direction, either. There are a number of these slop wagons In Oregon City and they bump around and Spill slops, but nothing Is said about them, . They are .not even cleaned. ; ,. . Serious Qnestion.;'. :lyi'.: But to return to' the drinking . foun tain. -The Humane society of Oregon City was instrumental. in putting Jt lip and with the help Of ..the city ' council , It was erected.' Now-there have been drinking fountains In' existence for an unknown: number of years and It has ' been a hard thing to determine that they - communicate disease, ' It was Intimated - at the council meeting that this partic ular fountain wis spreading infectious disease. V;.It was further Intimated that this report came from Dr. Powell. This was wrong, however. When asked about the matter yesterday. Dr. Powell said: "I have hot said that diseases of an ln- - fectlous nature were being comniunl rated. I' do say though that 1 think the .fountain dangerous In this respect and not an absolute convenience. "One way ca spreading consumption would be toy this fountain and I am heartily, opposed to it- "I was tn the council when the mat ter of erecting the .fountain came up. At that time we thought very little about it and the city appropriated about $100 to aid! the Humane society In Its work. I am sorry now that I voted for it. though at the time we thought we 1 were acting ft r the best. I now eon elder It a menace to health, dangerous a ltd not a convenience." , By a convenience Dr. . Powell means that It isn't necessary foe humans, for if they were thirsty they cpuld eaaily get a drink somewhere. He thinks it is doing good, work as far as horses and dogs ere. concerned. But he is decidedly npposed to people drinking as he says Jt is a sure way. of .'spreading disease.. There are some people in the city who take the opposite view of Dr. PowelL They take the stand that there are greater evils than this in the city . which the council does not take any cog nisance of. .They .maintain that the fountain Is no worse a disease com municator than the cuspidor, garbage barrels, slop wagons and the usual man ner of washing dishes In restaurants. The city has good water and this Is a good way to convince strangers 01 that . fact. If any one thinks it dangerous to ' drink out of the fountain they are not compelled to. : One thing the council could do s to recommend tha renewing of the cup at a short interval. This , would minimize the danger. If any. , X. O. T. M. Address. ' State Commander J. W. Sherwood was up . from ' Portland and addressed Tualatin Tent No. 74, K. O. T.

An elaborate program of toasts and speeches is being prepared and there will be wit and .jollity in abundance. The object .of the spread is to bind to gether the business men and the profes sional men more closely and to form a well organised board of trade, In the matter of the board of trade it Is the intention to sell stock. There will be 100 shares that will sell at 130 a share. The method that will be used in paying for the stock will be after this manner: Each purchaser , pays f I down and $1 a month, ,'lt Is expected that this will provide a sufficient lnoome to advertise the city and country. In order to pro mote the affair the more handily it was thought a banquet would do more, to get the enea most interested together to exchange ideas. Furthermore, if the board of trade meets with the success that la expected a banquet Ilka tha one in preparation will be one of the fea tures in - business -life every three months. - .

Hall, appellant, vs. Iaura C ; Hall., respondent, from Clackamas county T. A. McBrlde, judge; reversed. Opinion by Chief Justice. Moore. V The ' foregoing opinion, coming as it doe from the highest court in the state, ends one of the most sensational divorce case that has yet been heard in Clacka mas county. In reversing the decision of the lower court it would appear that spiritualism has won a point, for it was that religion that caused the husband to attempt murder and sue for a divorce. About af year ago The Journal rjub- lished a letter from W. H. Hall to his wife by' which means he accused - her of being, unfaithful to him In his ab sence, naming Silas Hedges as tha oo fespotadent The couple had lived near Spiingwater in this county until Hall went: to Portland to work. While there he became suspicious of his wife and consulted a medium, who told' him that She could see Mrs- Hall in comeanr with a man of Hedges' description. He bought a gun and .started for home. .He claimed vi nave seen me two logetner, but did not molest thera. Instead he followed Hedges to the country store where they faced each other and Hall began shoot ing, .'emptying the revolver, but every time i missing Hedges. : Because of Hedges' prominence as a politician the matter was tne talk of the county at the time. Hall was arrested and tried and It was then that the facts came out and the famous letter played its part. A- After the trial Hall sued for a di vorce in Judge McBrlde's court, it being refused because of the weakness :of the plaintiff's case, who depended mainly on the evidence contained in the letter, Vswa Votes aad Personal.

The. court is anxious to no arrange the plans that there will be but one vault tn the building, extending from the base ment to the second floor, but not acces sible from this floor. It is hoped to so arrange matters that each of tne four officers requiring vault space the clerk, sheriff, treasurer and Assessor may have access to the one large vault, which will afford as much apace as pos sible without crowding the officers' quarters. The basement vault may be used for the'p reservation of old records. The vault will be put in if it is abso lutely fire-proof; ' The court's Idea is to afford ample vault space and minimize the expense of erecting the structure. Tha court house is to face on Commer cial street and the first floor and base ment are to be of 'native gray stone and the second floor and attlo of pressed brick.

Attorney-General Crawford last evening, in response to a request or state Treasurer Moore, ren dered an opinion on the question as to tha right of legatees, under the inheri tance tax law, to take, their discount as provided in that law If the tax was paid after tha expiration of the eight months Within "Which th lavt savs it shall be paia. The attorney-general holds that ths discount can only be deducted If the payment is made within . the sight months, and not after tha expiration of that timet He says: "Relative to your inquiry as .to my construction of sections 3 and 7 of bouse bin 41, being the inheritance tax law or 1903, page fil, of the session laws, per mil me to say that in my opinion the tax accrues in the sense of the estate becom ing liable therefor at the date of the death of the decedent or donor, and that the same becomes due and payable to tha state within eight months thereafter except in oases of unavoidable delay, as mentioned In said sections. When delay is caused by any devise, etc., men tioned in- section 3. the tax is payable wnenever ths beneficiary comes Into ac tual possession or enjoyment of the es tate, devise, or bequest and if then paid, no interest is chargeable, but if not in terest must be paid at the rate of eight per cent per annum. When the tax is not. paid in eight months, and the de lay is caused by claims against the es tate, necessary litigation, etc., as pro vided in section 7, six per cent interest must be charged from the date the tax la payable to the state, to-wlt: Eight months from the death of the decedent until the cause of the delay is removed. and after that, eight per cent until pay ment is made. A discount of five per centum can be allowed only when the tax is paid within eight Vnonths from ths date of death of decedent "Tha tax oh a devise or beauest of an estate, the exact amount of which cannot be " determined, by reason of claims against the estate, Is due eight months from death of deceased and if delay In payment is caused for reason above-mentioned, six per cent Interest is chargeable until delay, is removed, then eight per cent until payment Is made. The rule for computing time in which an act is to be dose is that the first day (in this matter the day of death) shall not be included, but the last day shall be."
