change in the form of the notice or
aummons Issued, to the defendant
Heretofore this notice informed the
defendant that at a certain time and
place a hearing for the purpose of
taking testimony In the contest
against his entry would be had. And
regardless of whether any appearance
was made by or on behalf of the de
fendant, the testimony of at least two
witnesses was required to be taken
for the consideration of the land of
fice; while under the new practice,
the notice will state "that unless the
adverse party appears and answers
the allegations of suid contest with
in thirty days after service of notice
upon him, the allegations of said con
test will be taken as confessed." Un
der present practice, usually one of
ficer of a local land office alone is
sues the notice; under the new prac
tice, both are required to sign the
notice.
Now Manner of Service.
Heretofore It hus been the usual
mode to serve the defendant with the
notice of contest by delivery of the
same to him in person, If he could be.
found in the state In which the land
lies; otherwise by publication In a
newspaper. Tho new rules provide
that the notloc may be either handed
to the defendant in person by any
person over 18 years of age, sent to
him by registered mall.-or published
In a newspaper within the county In
which the land Is located, and when
the latter method s used copies of
the notice must also bo sent the de
fendant by registered mall to the
postofflce nearest the land, the ad.
' dress of record In the land office and
at the present address1 of the defend
ant, If known. When service Is not
made by publication, a copy of the
original affidavit of contest must al
so accompany the notice of contest,
which in this respect Is similar to the
practice of serving a copy of a com
plaint with the summons in an action
at law under the -Oregon code. It Is
also provided that no contest pro
ceeding shall abate because of any
defect in the manner of service where
In any case It Is shown that a copy
of the notice actually enme Into the
hands of the defendant. In case the
defendant makes and files his sworn
denial of the charges, it Is provided
"that the register and receiver will
forthwith fix time and place for tak
ing testimony and notify all parties
thereof not less than 20 days In ad
vance of the hearing."
Trial Procedure Unchanged.
There Is no material change In the
procedure at the trials, except the
power to summarily Btop Irrevalent
examinations by attorneys Is broad
ened and authority to exclude witness,
es not testifying is expressly given
local officers, though such power has
been exercised here for many yean
when occasion arose.
Costs Taxed Equitably.
The most Important change la In
the manner of taxing costs in all cases
except private contests where a pref
erence right Is to be exercised. In the
latter event, the contestant will con
tinue to pay all costs, though it will
be borne In mind thnt the new pro
cedure will in all those cases where
no appearance Is made by the de
fendant eliminates any fees for taking
testimony or necessity for the em
ployment of an attorney, except to
prepare his original papers. ' In all
other cases each party must pay the
cost of taking the direct examination
of his own witnesses and the cross
his constituents, he explains, are more
vitally interested in the game laws
than in any other form of legislation.
Numerous other amendments and pro
posed game acts are expected from
other quarters of the state.
A number of other bills amendatory
of the game laws have been prepar
ed by the Portland Rod and Gun club
association and will be Introduced in
the session.
