Is not so long ago that he retired from

that it had created on the occasion of
his American tour in J88, when Edwin
Booth interpreted Iago.
' Oive Ovation by Congress.
Salvinl is very fond of recalling his
experiences in America. One day, it is
told, he was present at a sitting of con

gave him a perfect ovation, springing to
their feet, in their enthusiasm, and the
presiding officer addressed words of

Balem, Or., Deo. 89. In the case of
the state vs. Fisher, decided by thn
supreme ourt yesterday, it was held
that though a person have venison in
his -possession out of - season, and It
can be shown that the deer had been
killed in season, the defendant could
not be found guilty of violating the
game laws of this state. - The decree
of Judge George H. Burnett in the cir
cuit court of Linn county was reversed.
Fisher had tried to show in the trial
that he had killed the gam when it
was lawful and had salted down the
venison. The lower court held to .the
strict construction of the statute, 'un
der which,, holding that the mere pos
session was sufficient to secure a con
viction. ' The supreme court In revers

Is understood the president refused iv

- The claim of the Southern Pacific
company in this case is a peculiar one
In that it involves a persons 1 obliga

the- question of th relations, existing
between the California Development
company, which made the original cut
in the Colorado river through which

. . That Wasnt All:
North Yakima, Waah.,'Dec 80. The
plan of running a model dairy with
milkmaid instead of men, .which was
tried by Mrs. Frank Ridkln on her ranch
a few . miles south of this city has
proved a -failure It was thought that
having , maids In white overalls and
Jumpera would be a great drawing card,
and it did attract much attention, but
several things arose which the manage
ment), had hot foreseen. Fine dormitor
ies were prepared for th 'girls, but
they wanted to sleep alone, and the re
quest was granted. One of them want
ed to marry the stable boy and her re
quest was also granted. Then some of
those who remained dressed a little
better than the others caused much
Jealousy. Finally, they rot to fighting,
and the only way that peace could be.
restored was to discharge all of them.
Now the regulation men are in charge,
and while there are not ao many frills
the work Is being done more satisfac
torily, -.; .-'.I.'.--.' . .,; . .
