It is more and more evident,
as the time passes, that the Hearst
loom is collapsing, and that Wil
fie is slowly and reluctantly realiz
vfeg that this is not his year.
Some of- his managers have stud
ied tip the question thoroughly,
and seeing no prospects of suc
cess, have wisely concluded to
wait till 1908. With defeat in
evitable for - anv candidate. Wil
lie's enthusiasm wanes, and his
prophetic eye sees 1908 and suc
ess before him, and he prefers to
l.-de ms time.
Let a conservative candidate
be defeated this year, and he sees
Bi chances much greater then.
He will retire gracefully, support
the candidate nominated with all
trie cower of his many newspa
pe& and win the gratitude of
ftis- pax ty for so doing, lhen ne
will claim the reward for his vir
tuous actions, and go before the
ieoDle with the strength of a
anited partv and an almost unac
knous nomination. Oh ! Willie
is shrewd, and the millions will
grow larger under Republican
DBD&oeritv. and his great ambi

liquor license of J. G. Westerfeldt
and Wm. Broders reported at the
adjparned session, June 6th.
Uhe findings in the case were
that while, technically guilty of
the charges of selling liquor to
aniners, they had used all possi
ble means to ascertain the age of
. said minors and only granted tne
) Equor after being misled bv rela
' tives of said minor as to his age.
f'lt was recommended that the
license asked for be granted.
There was a hitch, in the street

ance of $20 a month and throw
ing the whole burden upon the
EBusiness men or those wholly or
cmostly beaefitted thereby.
The .street committee was dele--rateci

-to be too much. .

ferent system of improving the

be better than the public tax

$20,694.
If ne has only two weeks to
spare at the exposition now is
just as good a time to come as
any, as it cannot all be seen in a
moaih. But if a month can be
taken for the purpose,, any time
between Sept 15 and Nov. 15
will be preferable. Oregon's com
missioners are not making as
good a showing on $50,000 at St
Louis as did her commissioners
who. bandied the Buffalo dis

Extraordinary Lawsuit.
James Hamilton, of Salem, a
young man 22 years of age, has
brought suit in the Benton Coun
ty Circuit Court against H. W.
and Webster Holmes, attorneys
also of Salem, !- to recover title
in a farm lying a few miles north
of Monroe. Mr. Hamilton al
lege that in December,' 1900,
while he was yet a minor, his
mother, Anna Hamilton, sued for
a divorce, from her husband on
the grounds of desertion, employ
ing Holmes & Holmes as her at
torneys. In 1901 the divorce was
granted and the property rights
between Mr. and Mrs, Hamilton
were satisfactorily adjusted, the fa
ther making no opposition. The
farm in question, which consists of
319 acresof land and valued in this
complaint at $2000 became the
property of Mrs. Hamilton.
On the day the divorce was
granted Mrs. Hamilton deeded
this farm to Webster Holmes as
trustee to satisfy claims ot the at
torneys amounting to $500. Three
months later Mrs. Hamilton died
and soon after Webster borrowed
$700 giving in return a mort
gage on the farm. The son wait
ed until he became of age when
he demanded from Holmes &
Holmes a settlement of the estate.
It was refused on the ground that
the instrument ot transfer signed
by his mother was a deed giving
him full title to the farm in ques
tion, and not simply as trustee.
In the suit just filed James Ham
ilton repudiates the exhorbitant
charge of $500 made for securing
the divorce, agreeing to pay any
reasonable sum up to $250 with
interest until present time, and
demands a title to bis mother's
farm tree of all incumbrances.
The case will be tried in the No
vember term of the Circuit Court
John Bayne, of Salem, is attor
ney for the plaintiff.
Toledo Reporter A car load
of young oysters from the Atlan
tic coast passed through here Wed
nesday and are being "planted"
in the bay near Yaquina. These
oysters will not multiply in Pa
cific waters, but after they get a
start in life, grow rapidly. With
in a couple of years this carload
will have grown into several car
loads, and its commercial value
will be a handsome figure... The
freight charges on the car, it is
reported amounted to nearly $900,
and that should give the oysters
a decidedly rich flavor.
