said bo was surprised at the high
quality of cheese and buttor-ho found
her.
Ho said tho butter shown would
rank with any ho has judged In New
York nnd the Eastern states.
Judgo Kolly had noticed ono of- tho
Jurors apart from tho rest, standing
by tho stovo In tho court room when
ho should havo been with hb fellows,
nnd had called tho Juror's attention
to his duty.
Ono decision read hy Mr. Klllott
showed a coso to havo been reversed
becauso four of the Jury wont out to
a saloon with oho of tho partle tot
tho caso, and then and there did.
Improperly, and with Intent to slake
thirst, wilfully and Joyfully hoist life
savers Into themselves aCthe exponse
or said party to said case, alt of
which waa contrary to the peaceful
and dignified courso of Justice.
It appears that tho court In this
particular caso declared that It was
not Ha duty to be governed In Its ac
tion by tho weight of decisions, and
Hint such weight was only to bo given
duo regard when thcro wa doubt In
tho court's mind as to what was th?
proper courso to pursue. Tho con
duct of tho Jury, said tho court, was
so manifestly Improper and out of
kcoplng with tho rightful courso of
Juitlco that ho would set aaldo tho
verdict rendered, regardless of tho
fact that tho Jurymen testified that
tho treating had no Influenco on their
crdict.
Attorney Fred II. Mills argued
among other things, that tho supreme
court In this case had decided, re
gardless of tho decisions In other
states, that the Judgo had no right,
because ho disagreed with tho jury as
to the preponderance of the evidence,
to set aside the verdict of the Jury.
He also contended that tho alleged
Irregularity or misconduct of tho Jury
was within tho knowledge of the de
fendant nnd before the return of tho
ordlct, without any protest or ob
jections on bis part, and Jhat such
motion, having been filed after ver
dict, camo too late.
Tho court took tho motion for new
trial under advisement.

Eastern peoplo have been fixed on
Oregon during tho past two weeks.
The governors' special, carrying an
exhibit ottstate products, has been
visiting the principal cities ot the
country and has attracted great at
tention everywhere. Oregon baa been
favorod with moro Interest than any
other state, judging from the great
number ot Inquiries asked ot those on
hoard.
At the Chicago Land Show, too, this
state baa played a prominent part.
Oregon day, December 7, was marked
by a very large attendance of Inter
ested people who were eager to learn
mora ot Oregon. At St. Paul's Land
show, which opens tfcte week for elev-
en days, Oregon will also be repre
sented by delegates and an exhibit.
These big features will do much to

ly new one, has been remodeled. The
building was built on the old style,
with a row of windows on either aide,
thus causing a cross light, and accord
ing to authorities, very likely to In
jure pupils eyes.
Last year the superintendent called
tho attention ot the board to this
condition, 4nd they, with commend-
ablo promptness took measures to
correct the lighting. Tho windows
were entirely removed from the west
side and a series ot six casement win
dows were placed In the north end
of tho building. The windows oa Um
eajt aide were rearranged a that they
are all as far toward the rear ot the
building as possible. By this ar
rangement most ot the light Is at the
student's back, with the remainder
coming orer the left shoulder. This
makes Ideal lighting. The Interior
of tho building has been repainted In
soft colors that aro restful to tho
eyes and niako tho building look clean
and neat. The floor has been oiled
with floor dressing, nnd no dust was
noticeable In the air.

tion paid to ventilation and the regu
lations of tho state health board in
regard to Individual drinking cups
were not being well followed. A
board meotlng was held after school,
and this matter will receive attention.
