Best Executor of

: The wisdom of choosing a trust com
pany rather than an individual 'as
executor of will or administrator
of an estate was exemplified in the
history of the estate of Henry J. Hefty,
who died in. Switzerland in August,
1915. leaving ! Portland property, cash
and securities with 'an aggregate value
of about $60,000. By the terms of his
will Ijef ty gave the use of the property
during her lifetime -to his wife and ap
pointed her executrix in the division of
the estate among-four children. Bessie,
Alfred E. and Ed walrd . Hefty ' and
Marguerite Wse Hefty Williams,' aH
of Portland. i . . v . - i
.i Mrs. Hefty- passed - away. October 24
and last week Judge -.Tazwell - ap
pointed the Title A Trust company,
administrator of the estate, with - the
will annexed. The Clayton hotel, - a
four-story - brick Building located at
No. 105 12th street, was one of the
principal properties of the estate. - Im
munity from death is only one of the
advantages of -a trust . company over
an lndivdual as an administrator, the

The idea of the - limitation of the ;
