BOSTON MAYOR'S SUGGESTION.
Mayor Qulncy of Boston has sug
geeted that the city should build a mu
nicipal crematory in which to inciner
ate the toodlea of paupers, criminals
and others whose burial devolves upon
the city. The idea is to do away alto
gether with the potter's field. It is
asserted that the city could cremate
bodies at a cost, of only $1 each, while
it costs 13 to dig a grave. The present
potter's field will be filled before the
expiration of the present year. Tbe
burials now amount to about 500 a
year, and increase in number yearly.

a one of the biggest affairs ever held

various rooms at the big palace. Th r?
were all kinds of people there, dressed
in all kinds of clothes. White men el-

women with colored women. There
weie four Japanese and three -Chinese
present, but the CMnese were merely
pv?t&lors, and sat up in the second
gallery. They said that they had come
to see Mr. Bryan.
The main hall presented a different
aspect from that of the Metropolitan

Democratic Club. There were no
flower embellishments, but Just great
long avenues of tables covered with
plain white plates; the only ornaments
were bunches of celery, and granite
ware coffee pots. ,
The boxes about the hall were
thronged with flags,, with silken ban
ners suspended between flags. At the
back of the stage, were two American
flags draped, one bearing the portrait
of Jefferson, and the other a portrait
of IJryan. Smal" - pot traits of Bryan
were interspersed between the flag

The diners began to arrive at the

There were 150 policemen about the
place. The worrtn, to the number of
475. dined in a long hall just off the
second gallery. They sat down to the
tables at 6:30 o'clock. There was no
concerted attempt to seat the 3000 din

go in and sit down. About 7 o'clock
nearly every seat of the men's table
was occupied and the fcervict b-'gan.
Over 600 waiters started out into lhe

STATE FAIR BOARD
- - .
IS 50T LEGALLY ORGANIZED U5
, U T11K STATUTE,
8ays tbe Attorney. General Five
Members Khonld Be Present to
; Transact Business.
Attorney General I. R. X. Blackburn
has,' the request of the roremor,
secretary of state and state treasurer,
rendered an opinion regarding the ac
ceptance. by the state, of the. deed made
by the new state board of agriculture
to the state fair rrounda, and the mat
ter of authorizing tbe i ecrttary of state
to draw his warrant In payment of the
17,000 appropriation to enable the board
to settle its outstanding warrants. The
questions asked re:
"1st Has the state- board of agricul
tare the legal right to execute this con
veyance?
"2d 1 the present acting board duly
and legally constituted and organized,
and has It, as organized, the power and
authority to execute a valid deed for
transfer of the title fc this prop.
d Has the state board the leirai
title to the lands described la th.
deed '.
Answering; the first (mention the de.
clskn holds that the board, if legally
organized, has the rower and author
ity to order, by resolution doly p.isse.1
at a regular meeting, the president and
secretary, for and In behalf of the
board, to execute and deliver the deed.
As to the legality of the orgaaijm.
tion. it is held that the board, consist
ing of five members to be appointed by
the governor under the act creating the
pew board, was not, and could nvt be,
legally organized when only four mem
bers appeared1 and cualined. conceding
even that the fifth member of theboard
had bon duly notified ot the meet ng
called for organlx&tlon. In the case of
the board of agriculture, the c"ecUKn
holds.' there Is n i.rovision th.tt any
number lss than five can act at ny
time, and It s-ns ! to have ten tn.
Intention of the legislature that the
vihcle number of the members appoint--td
wust be present and take part , In
the organization of the beard. If it
had intended .otherw ise, it could easily
have provided that a rrajority, or a
certain number Irss than five, c.uld
mee t "and organixe. Senator A. W.-
Reed, apointed a member f the boird.
did not participate in th OJgaplxati on. .
Continuing, the attorney general
says: . .
"I am of the opinion that there h.ts
been no legal organization of the state
board of agriculturc.and that the pres
ent board has not the rower and au
thority to execute to the state of Oi e
gon a deed that will convey to it the
legal title to the lands owned by the
board. A corporation must have -full!
and complete organization and exist
ence as ah. entity and In nce-ordance
with th laws to.whivh It owes it ori
gin, before it can assume its franchises
or enter Into any kin? of contract or
business. But thi can be? remedied by
a meeting of ell of the members of the
boat d. ' ho, after qualifying in the
manner prescribed by law can then or
ganize In a lawful manner."
In this cornectlon the attorney gen
eral calls attention to fact that there is
a mortgage on the reu estate in ques
tion in favor of the bord of a heel land
commissioners for $11,003, and lrterest,
and that the deed tendered provides
that the Hate "assumes and agrees to
pay" It, yet the statute confers no au
thority for the atate to assume this
indebtedness.
In reply to a question, aked by
Judge G. P. Terrell, of Merlon county.
Attorney General Blackbiirn nade re
ply y-8t-,rlity, conHruing section i'.il.
of Hill's code, regarding the amount to
be paid for the keeping of prlaemrM in
the county 'ail. The tt-xt cf the opinion
Is as follows:
"You aak my opinion as to the pro
per construction .of sc-cHn C341, of
Hill's Ann. Laws' of Oregon, which
said section teals ar, follows: .-.
A sheriff shall be : en U tied to re
