For Business SA three floors, Oregon SUPERVISORS HOLD OVER Judge Boise Decides Legislature Did Not Contemplate Vacancies. Judge R. P. Boise, sitting at an ad journed terra of Circuit Court for Polk County, Department No. 2, Tues day afternoon, rendered a decision to the effect that Eoad Supervisors elect ed in June, 1902, are entitled to hold office until January 1, 1904. The case at issue, that of E. C. Kirkpatrick vs John Middleton, Supervisor of road district No. 17, has attracted con siderable attention in Polk County and elsewhere, not because of the amount involved, but because of legal questions which affected not only the defendant, but also every other Road Supervisor in Oregon. Ever since the passage of the road law by the last Legislature there has been much contention as to whether the law of 1903 repealed the act of 1901, and legislated out of office the Road Supervisors holding under that act. The case of Kirkpatrick against Mid dleton was brought in order to test this question in the courts. A few weeks ago Middleton de manded of Kirkpatrick the payment of $3 road poll tax. Kirkpatrick re fused to pay the amount, on the ground that he held a legal claim against Polk county for a sum equal to or greater than the amount of the tax. Middleton refused to recognize or ac cept Kirkpatrick's claim and imme diately began an action in the Justice Court for the tax. A trial was had and the Justice rendered judgment against Kirkpatrick for the amount of the tax and costs. The case was then taken to the Cir cuit Court for review, the principal contention raised by Kirkpatrick be ing that Middleton had no authority to sue in the lower court for the reason that the law under which he was elect ed had been repealed prior to the bringing of the action and that by reason of said repeal Middleton was not a legally elected and qualified officer, but only an intruder. After hearing the arguments of counsel Judge Boise decided that Middleton is a duly elected, qualified and acting supervisor; that no authority is given the court to appoint before January, 1904; that the road districts remain intact and that the present Road Supervisors hold office under the act of 1901 until January l, 1904. The court holds that it was not the intention of the Legislature in passing the law to abolish road districts or to allow any vacancy to occur in the office of Road Supervisor.

Of Apprehension of Sudden Death. Twenty Years of Heart Disease. Dr. Miles' Heart Cured Me. Cure Dr. Miles' Heart Cure cures heart disease. It has positively no equal in that regard.

"For eighteen years 1 suffered from heart trouble. The least excitement caused se vere fluttering and palpitation and at night smothering spells would frequently cause me to sit up in tied for breath. Beside the fre quent physical pains I was constantly in an agony of apprehension lest it might bring alout my smMen end. I began taking Dr. Miles' lieart Cure and experienced almost immediate ri lief from my former disagree able symptoms. I bel eve. that my cure is permanent because I have not had occasion to use the Heart Cure for six or seven years, which time has elapsed since I quit taking tlie Heart Cure.
