PORTLAND
COMMITTEE
Salem, Or, May II. Judge J. TJ.
Campbell of the circuit court for
Clackamas county has reaffirmed his
decision, which is adverse to the state.
in the Hyde land fraud case, wnicn
was tried before him.
This is the only one out of six de
cisions in the Hyde land fraud cases
which has been unfavorable to the
state.
"There can be no doubt from the
evidence in this case," says Judge
Campbell in his decision, a copy of
which was received today by Attorney
General Brown, "that Hyde, procured
title to this land by fraudulent means,
and in violation of the law of Oregon
governing the sale of school lands."
But he holds that the law passed
by the legislature in 1901, which was
two years after Hyde obtained from
the state his lastdeed to the 2000
acres Involved, cured Hyde's fraudu
lently obtained title.
This law was for the purpose of rat
ifying Sales of land made by the state
land board.
Five other Judges of the circuit
courts of the state, who have decided
similar cases, held that this law did
not apply to the lands obtained by
Hyde by fraud.
Judge Campbell points out that the
present owner of the lands, the West
ern Lumber company, la an Innocent
purchaser, and that it is as much the
public policy of the state to protect
the innocent purchaser as it is to re
cover lands obtained from the state
by fraud. He asserts also conditions
existing at the time Hyde obtained the
lands were known to the publio offl-
iais, "who. no doubt." he says, "felt
that they were getting the best of the
bargain by converting the lands into
cash ana loaning the cash for the
benefit of the school fund."

BLOW IS STRUCK
ON WEST FRONT

trenches in the Moronvlllers sector on
the northern slopes of Cornlllet, with
800 prisoners taken, was reported in
today's official statement as the first
net result. . i
The war office tcM of a resumption
of active, bitter fighting on the great
er part of the whole front.
Along tho Chemin Oes Dames front
an artillery struggle continued through
out the night. A strong German at
tack was made near Froidmont farm
and repulsed.
In the Champagne,, the statement
said: "We brilliantly c&ntured aev
eral lines of German trenches In the
sector of Moronvlllers, imprisoning 800.
We found tne crumbled German shel
ters filled with dead. The enemy's
losses were formidable. Particularly
those Inflicted by our forces against
counter attacks. All of these were re
pulsed."
Four brand new trunks were seised
this morning at the union station by
deputies from Sheriff Hurlburfs of
fice and taken to the county building
where an investigation of their con
tents revealed over 100 quarts of whis
key. The trunks evidently were con
structed for bootleggers. Each one
contained four trays divided into 11
compartments. The depth Of the com
partment is just sufficient to hold a
flat pint bottle.
The trunks had been sent from Sail
Francisco as excess Waggage but were
not dtalmed here at Portland.
Charlie Mays. 157 Sheldon street, an
old resident of Portland, was arrested
by ixeputy Sheriffs Marks and Phillips
on a charge of receiving a trunk con
taining a 10-gallon keg of whiskey.
The trunk was addressed to Mrs. Mays
and Mr. Mays disclaims all knowledge
of It. His bond is fixed at $600.
Pat Ryan. 332 tt First street, was
arrested by men from the sheriffs of
fice for taking a trunk from the union
depot which contained about 26 quarts
Of whiskey. Investigation of the bot
tles showed that the government bond
stamp had been cut and the bottles re
filled. To prevent the disclosure of
this to the prospective purchaser, a tin
foil cap was placed over the tdp of the
hrttMfl which hid the evidence of re
filling but left enough of the stamp
showing to prove that it was bonded
goods.

than nine miles) the English attacked
yesterday," the statement said. "At
those places between the Scarps and
Sensee brook, where the enemy suc
ceeded in penetrating bur line east of
Crolsilles, he was driven back in a
sharp counter-attack. Oft-repeated at
tacks between Fontaines and Bulle
co.urt met the Same fate.
"We maintained our position except
at one completely demolished trench,
which was abandoned in accordance
with our plans.
"After bitter fighting, continuing
through the night, the enemy obtained
a foothold on Mount Cornlllet.
"South Of Nauroy, on Mount Ketl
and southwest of Moronvlllers, the
enemy losses yesterday were consider
able. "Around Braye and Cernay, and west
to Hurtebise farm, we captured enemy
trenches and maintained them, despite
attempts at recapture."

Fatke Time -who
makes ike fire burn brighter
-wiio makes cigars more fragratit1
Green wood burns but
badly. Wood seasoited by
time burns brightly with a
cheerful glow. Time-seasoning,
time-curing is responsi
ble for the change. So with
tobacco. Green tobacco is
harsh. Tobacco properly
time -cured is mellow and
fragrant.
And time-curing it is that insures
the fragrance of your OWL Cigars.
Months of time-curing. Time-curing
backed up by $1,000,000 worth
of reserve leaf. And often more.
Time-curing of leaf guarded by
time-curing experts.
Such time-curing is OWL flavor
insurance. It's the OWL "fragrance-
pledge.'
