SAYSSCHOOLSUPERVISORY
LAW IMPORTANT TO LINN
The New Game Code Is of
terest to the Local
Sportsmen.
Id-
Continued from Friday, January 24.
Mr. W. H. Hornibrook, Editor
Daily Democrat, Albany, Oregon. My
dear Mr. Hornibrook: Received your
favor requesting me to forward such
information as I may have in which
the citizens of Linn county are in
terested. Of most importance that
has come before this body concerning
citizens of Linn county is the school
supervisory law, a subject upon which
1 have received scores of communica
tions from teachers and those who arc
interested in the law and with the ex
ception of but one or two' instances all
arc in favor of its retention, although
the sentiment throughout the state, as
represented here, seems to be divided
on the subject.
The bill to repeal the present law
has not been submitted to us for final
consideration but will no' doubt come
up within a day or two with an
amendment giving to each county the
option to retain the present system or
not as they sec fit, an amendment
which I have endorsed, and, as under
that amendment, Linn county may re
tain the system or not as it sees fit
regardless of the remaining portion of
the state.
The committee on game has before
it for its consideration a new game
'code with many progressive features,
some of which were suggested by the
citizens of Linn county; some were
suggested by the grange, and some
were suggested by the Albany Gun
Club, and 1 have induced Mr. iMiiley,
the present warden, to insert them in
this new law. One of the provisions
which the grange is clamoring for I
have succeeded in having incorporated
in the present law, i. c., the provision
allowing the farmers and other prop
erty owners to take and destroy such
game birds or animals as arc produc
ing injury or damage to their prop
erty. Another provision which has
been inserted is the provision which
prohibits shooting from public high
ways and providing a penalty therefor.
Another provision which the grange
suggested to mc, and which 1 have
also succeeded in having incorporated,
is the one allowing the property own
ers or agents or lessees and game
wardens and peace officers to arrest
any person goinjf upon the property
of another without first having per
mission of the owner, etc. The evil
remedied by this is that under the
present law the farmers are compelled
to post trespass notices to prevent
trespassing, unless they do a convic
tion can hardly he secured. Under the
proposed law a conviction would be
made more easy thus affording bet
ter protection to the fanners from
those who are disposed to disregard
the rights of property owners.
The suggestions of the Albany Rod
and Gun Club have, in most cases,
been taken into consideration in fram
ing this proposed law.
I expect a hard fight when this bill
comes up for final passage in regard
to the length of season and to' the
bag limit and the use of dogs, there
seeming to be a disposition on the
part of some to want to prohibit the
use of dogs in hunting pheasants.
However, I consider it, that my con
siituents feel that the use of dos
should not be prohibited so song as
the bag limit is enforced, consequently
1 intend to oppose that provision pro
hibiting the use of dogs in huntini;
Chinese phe.ants.

compromise with the Multnomah peo

CONTEST OF AMES
Administrator Was Appointed
Several Weeks Ago on the
Petition of Heirs.
WILL OF THE DECEASED
FILED AT CLERKS OFFICE
Estate Was in Litigation at the
Time of Death of the
Deceased.
What promises to be one of the
hardest fought legal battles in the his
tory of Linn county was started today
when the will of the late Jos. S. Ames
M. Wilhelm, a well known resident
of Monroe, arrived in Albany last
evening and is looking after business
matters in this city today.
was filed by Weatherfo'rd & Weather
ord at the office of County Clerk Wil
lard Marks.
Jos. Ames was one of the pioneer
citizens of Linn county and was reput
ed to be wealthy. He resided for
many years at Sweet Home.
About a year ago he concluded that
his financial affairs should be placed
in the hands of some younger man and
filed a petition asking fot the appoint
ment of J. R. Green of Lebanon as
his guardian. The application was
granted by the court and the manage
ment of the estate turned over to the
guardian. Later Ames concluded that
he could manage his estate himself
and petitioned the court to discharge
the guardian. The matter was still
pending in the courts of Linn county
when Ames died.
The heirs of Ames then joined in a
petition asking that Green be appoint
ed administrator o'f the estate and the
order was made by Judge Galloway.
Today Weatherford & Weatherford
filed what is purported to be the last
will and testament of the deceased
and if the same is upheld by the court,
the administration of the estate un
der Green is invalid.
The matter will doubtless be thresh
ed out at the hext term of court and
the case promises to be one of the
most interesting on the docket. Hew
itt & Sox and Attorney Garland of
Lebanon will appear for Green.

Nearly an Hour.
Jumping the track at a point above
the water tank in the western section
of the Ctty, an Oregon Electric freight
car completely tied up the traffic on
the main line of the new railroad and
delayed the northbound train for near--ly
an hour.
Just what caused the car to leave

serious accident was narrowly avert
ed for the other cars on the train were
not derailed. No one was injured and
a crew of men from the Albany freight
yards was dispatched at once to re
pair the damage.
