Neuner Holds
Umatilla Fund
Switch Illegal
The Umatilla county court U
without authority to make a trans
fer, even temporarily, from the
general road fund to the bond
road fund. Attorney General
George Neuner ruled Tuesday.
The district attorney advised
Neuner that Umatilla county
voters had authorized a $900,000,
bond issue for road construction,
and that before any money was
received from the sale of the bonds
but after the election, the county
court expended money from the
general rod fund on the road
within., the bond issue.
This expenditure was declared
Illegal by Neuner. who said the
ourt must replace immediately
the amount taken from the gen
eral road fund.
Neuner. in another opinion, held
that county courts have authority
to regulate transportation of logs
on county roads. The attorney
general said it was obvious that
county courts must have this au
thority to prevent damage to
roads. He added that county
courts have authority to close
roads to logging operations under
certain conditions.
In an opinion for District At
torney J. M. Blank. Grant county.
Neunet ruled that a defendant
under indictment must be taken
before the circuit court in the
county in which the indictment
was returned. It would be illegal.
Neuner declared, to take the de
fendant to another county within
the same judicial district even
though the same judge presided.
Supreme Court

The state supreme court Tues
day affirmed a decree of the Mult
nomah county circuit court dis
missing a damage suit filed by
Ann Akersnn, 18. against D. C.
Bates and Sons, operators of a
garage.
The girl, whoe suit was brought
by her guardian. Andy Akerson,
charged that she was injured on
an escalator which she operated
when she visited the garage at
night. The court held that she was
precluded from collecting dam
ages because she was trespassing
on the property of the defendants
The court announced that it
had approved a special state bar
examination to be held January 27
and 28 in the Multnomah county
courthouse in Portland. The ex
amination, while primarily for

V. J. LaMar has established a
chinchilla farm at 21S Park lane,
Salem, and recently added eight
of the little animals to his collec
tion. He plans to have about 30.
He will raise them both for breed
ing and for their fur. Chinchillas
are bringing around $1200 a pair
at the present time.
Despite earlier , reports to the
contrary,' the insecticide. DDT, has
now been proved effective against
i all common species of household
cockroaches, report government
entomologists. The German roach,
the most common species of cock
roach found in homes and around
damp places, and other species
may be effectively controlled by
either a 10 per cent DDT dust or
a 5 per cent DDT spray. In using
a 5 per cent DDT, a deodorized
kerosene or some other solvent
I is recommended. The spray should
not be so fine that a large amount
of it floats off into space. Around
! water pipes is a good gathering
place for the roaches, the govern
ment agents report.
To increase the yield of grass
seeds, apply ammonium sulphate
advice of agronomists in the U.
S. department of agriculture soil
late in the fall of the year, is the
conservation nurseries. Several
years' trial at the nurseries have
shown that the proper rate of
application is between 200 and
300 pounds per acre. Experiments
have covered ammonium sulphate,
ammonium nitrate, and sodium
nitrate, with the ammonium sul
phate showing the most satisfac
tory results. That the application
should be made late enough in the
fall to save the fertilizer from
being drawn upon by any re
maining green growth, is the sug
gestion of the agronomists.

Alienation Suit
Arguments were, heard in the
state supreme court here Tuesday
in the case of George Berkshire
against J. G. Harem, involving
alienation of Mrs. Berkshire's af
fections. The case originated in
Polk county where Berkshire ob
tained a judgment of $7500
against the defendant. Harem then
appealed to the supreme court.
It was not contended that Har
em caused a separation between
Berkshire and his wife, but that
Harem became acquainted with
her and by undue influence de
prived Berkshire of the comfort,
society and assistance of his wife.
The court also heard arguments
in the case of Roy Moore, under
15 years penitentiary sentence for
burglary in a store at Browns
ville and larceny. He was con
victed of both counts in the Linn
county circuit court. Two other
defendants. Jack Mann and S. D.
McClain. pleaded guilty.
