Y. Kady and stockholders of the old Oregon Traction company in a suit to re cover alxjut tViti.uoo, the amount of claims as the result of the United Railways company's purchase of the Oregon Traction company's Hues a year ago. W. L. Benham. president of the United Railways company quickly called a meeting of officials at the office of the company's attorney, A. C. Einnions, and arrangements were made to furnish a bond and release the attachment. The bond for the full amount of the claim was signed by the United Railway cor poratiou, Herman Wittentierg and Walter II. Moore, as principals. The party then called on Sueriff Stevens, filed the Iwnd with him, and secured the release of the attachment. The construction work was continued after noon. President Benham says the at tachment was spite woik on the part of persons who do not want his company to build the road. The track has been completed from the southerly terminus at Hamilton av enue on Macadam road to wood street, and on Walter street from Moody to Columbia street. ..he northerly terminal on Front street the line is completed from the steel bridge to a point near Ash street All the necessary rails and material are on the ground, aud they were marked with notices of attachment L. Y. Keady was one of the or iginal promoters of the Oregon Traction company, which secured a franchise over several streets of the city, which were to be used as terminals for an interurhan line to Hillsboro. A portion of the track was laid but discontinued on ac count of financial reverses. The franchise and projerty was turned over to the United Railways com pany. Suit was brought by Keady a short time ago to collect money he claimed due him as assignee of the stockholders of the Oregon Traction company. The case is set for trial May 27, Mr. Keady said Saturday night. "The claims represented in my suit against the United Railways company are for money owed East ern people who hold sight drafts in the form of notes for money aue. in addition to these claims there are debts amounting to $36,000 and supposed to be covered by a certified check at the Merchants National bauk, is sued to W. J. Muir as trustee for tne uregon 1 raction company at the time that the company's prop erty was sold to the United Rail ways company on the Courthouse steps a year ago. "Although thii money was due immediately and payable on the certified check, it has never been paid, and the debts are still owing These creditors include the Tort land Railroad company, the Ililier nia Savings Bank, Ashley & Rum- elin, Merchants National Bank Anderson & Duniway, Ir win-Hod son company, W.

Benham, president of the United Railways company Saturday nieht made the following state ment: "The construction and certainty of early completion of the lines of the United Railways company has developed strong opposition from I the existing railway interests. The I defeat the plans ot the United Rait ways company and in endeavoring to prevent the construction within th,- time allowed bv the franchises have been, to say the least, very questionable, and every effort has been made to discredit the company in order that the allied interests mav control the traction situation in and outside of the city.

Chas. B. Sternberg, the young awyer, returned to Portland this morning. Mr. Sternberg for some time has been helping to secure rights of way on the Lytle road running from Hillsboro to Tilla mook, nearly all secured. Work has already begun at Hillsboro and several miles built, so that it is a sure thing and will eventually reach Tillamook. Mr. Sternberg doesn't believe the Hill road down the coast will ever be built, at least on the survey. One place through the mountains on the survey is said to be impracticable, and five miles would take nearly five years, and it looks like a bluff game somewhere, Albany Democrat. Jim Hill makes no bluffs, but will build the roa4 down the coast That yon can depend on. Four years ago a Yamhill county man invested $60 in sheen. Dur ing that period he has slaughtered 18 for mutton, sold $400 worth of mutton and wool, and still hasjs6 worth of sheep leit, or s total of $656. West Side Enterprise. The Heppner Commercial club has 85 members, many living out of town; has a $5000 building; has distributed 10,000 circulars, and is doing much good for that town and Morrow county. There is a cry going up from the hop men in this vicinity for more men lor the hop fields. We have a report of over one hnndred acres thought that the evidence did not warrant this objection, overruled it and allowed the confession in evi' deuce. This left as a defense aim- ply the statement of our client, as late related by him on the witness stard showing a lesser, if any, crime and 1 the insanity plea. A convic tion resulted as stated and the gov ernoj having informed me that he coull not see his way clear to com- muMthe sentence to life imprison- men the prisoner's father so desir ing, he case was taken to the su preme court, which gave a reversal andiew trial on the ground that Jud Bellinger erred in allowing the fcnfession named in evidence. Thijdecision of the supreme court of Ctgon is found in 9 Oregon Re- porst page 153. in order to pre parcor this appeal, as we bad no stercraphers in those days, I was obi :d to write the bill of excep tioi for the Judge to sign. At the udge was not in Washington or is country when I had this bill 'ady for him to sign, but was at toria and the time set for bang ing ie prisoner was ne.r at band, I ut to Governor Thayer's office in s city and got him to reprieve th risoner as the records show for few days in order to allow tinfto perfect the appeal and secure froljudge Bellinger a certificate of prlble cause staying execution of thdealh warrant. I stated, the case was reversed by e supreme court and is fonnd re ted in 9 Oregon at page 153, at: he archives of the state show th Governor Thayer never did ct nute the prisoner's sentence aiihat be did not do more than to g the requested reprieve. After tlfeversal of the case, it was again si r trial and when the prcpara- t for trial were neatly com pie t ejhe attorneys for the state real i that the chances to again se of a conviction ot mnrder in the Oatcpathy suiicnng pecause help cannot be had to cultivate it. Independence ff degree were not good, as ao cision in reversing the case- th pris oner's confession could not be intro duced in evidence by the state. Mr. Mulkey sent the late Robert Imbrie to me to see whether the case could be adjusted without trial by the de fendant entering a plea of guilty to the lesser crime, which it is assert ed, existed according to the prison er's own testimony. After consultation with the pris oner's father aud being satisfied that the evidence probably warranted it. the prisoner entered a plea of guilty to the second degree and was sen tenced to the penitctitiary. where he has since remained a model prison er and by his reformation became entitled to the pardon just giveu him. I have now given the tecord facts in the case and believe that those connected with it are entitled to the correction above stated. ED MIvNDENIIALL.

The Herald would suggest to the many women, who because of their lack of so-called artistic beauty, are not candidates for newspaper notor iety, that goodness, pure womauli ness, s thorough knowledge of, and the ability to do a woman's work in the world is much more important than to shine as a yellow journal beauty. Beaver State Herald. Spokane grocers are so well satis fied with early closing that they are considering a proposition for ex tending the movement so as to clip oft an hour or two from- the long grind of Saturday. A department j store in that city has announced j that it intends to close at 6 o'clock . on Saturday, and the grocers' asso- j ciation has drafted an agreement for signatures by retailers including meat dealers, to close at 8 o'clock. Thus time honored practices are discontinued one by one as the fact . that push and enterprise are real el ; ements ol success, and mere grind j and drudgery are not so important. 1 Tradesman.

New York, May u, The flood ing tide of immigration to Ameri can shores runs ceaselessly on, and new high-water marks for the influx of Europe's migratory hordes are being recorded every month in the port of New York. Already May bids fair to outstrip the April record, when 133,452 im migrants poured through the gate way of New York into the country. Five transatlantic liners brought in over 5000 last Saturday, and offi cials at Ellis Island say that there are no signs of cessation of this Eu ropean invasion. The well-spring of this human stream lies principally in Southern aud Middle Europe, while another but lesser current has its source in the Scandiuavian and German states. Italy, Austria-Hungary and the Lower Russians now supply more than one-half of all the immi grants seeking homes in this coun try. Every fourth alien examined at Ellis Island is Italian, while ev ery fifth newcomer is from the Au- strias. A score of years ago the headwa. ters of foreign immigration were in Ireland ana uermany. uut now the source has entirely changed. of the foreign outpour, and several states Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Pennsyl vania, Illinois and Ohio find homes tor 70 per cent of the total number. Efforts to deflect this stream to agricultural channels have been largely futile. The movement is toward the industries and not agriculture. Approximately 91,520 acres of land adjacent to Siskiyou and Ash land National forests in Curry, Jos ephiue and Jackson counties, Ore gon, have been released from tem porary withdrawal at the request of the Forest Service. Areas which have been released will be subject to settlement on July 23 next, not to entry, filing or selection until Au gust 22, 1907. For a good square meal go to the City Restaurant.

A new graft has arisen, and some grocers have fallen victims in a few cities. It is a pretty good graft system. Several grocers have been approached by men claiming to be United States inspectors, who de manded a number of samples for for inspection. There are no gov ernment food inspectors in the field yet, and any man who occupies that position should be able to show pro per credentials. It has been the custom for food inspectors to buy what they want for inspecting pur poses, and this is proper and best.
