A. Fletcher,; his prime object last ev ening being; to attend th Salem Press Club meeting, of which organization he is an active member. 1 , Beingf. a newspaper man of several years., experience, although not engag ed InFthe business at present, the Gov ernor' power of observation and per-' ceptfon are Very keen,1 an nothing In the form of, a. news item escapes his eternil vigilance. - When accosted! by a Statesman reporter last night he rum inated his garret for a-! few moments and hauled out a choice bunch of news. in substance as follows:' There is every evidence of prosperity in ana arouna , Jerrerson this year, which is becoming more manifest daily! Several new" enterprises and industries have been added to that thriving little town of late, among the most Import ant of which Is a new creamery plant which is now" in course of construction a nd pretty well along toward comple tion. This i creamery is being con structed and will be operated by Mr. ' Eldrldge, the. owner and operator of tne Independence Creamery. Jefferson is surrounded by a broad expanse .of country thatls excellent . for grazing, and dairy purposes, and the creamery will doubtless be a valuable acquisition to that community. 1 : J. A. Aupperle has recently completed the construction of a new sawmill which has been fully equipped with the latest improved machlneryTlt has been in operation for the" past three days and Is turning out an excellent grade of building materials. ? , , Mr. Fletcher says the farmers In the vicinity qf Jerffer.son are now, and have been for the past week, engager in digging "their potatoes, of whih there is a large acreage, and market ing them. Although, on account of th$ lack terrain until late Inthe fall, the yield Is considerably below the average or that f last year, the "spuds" are .much larger than usual, of, exceptionally'-. good quality . and command ' '50 rents per bushel In the Jefferson mar ket. ... . v: . ... , In iand around Tarlon. about four miles distant from Jefferson. Mr. Fletcher says, all of the saleable prop erty has be ben purchaeit by newcom c rs. and - that. It Is practically a new settlement. Some of the largest tracts of land contiguous to Marion have been transferred to '..new- settlers. ail of whom appear, to be energetic. Indus trious and prosperous. So far none of the land ini the vicinity . of Jefferson, according' pa Mr. Fletcher, has changed hands. i ,. . ..'"'. ' Looking For 30 Cents. I. C. Kavanaugh, who has-a. large ft.rm near Turner, .in speaking of the bop sit Oat ion, yesterday, said so far as he was- able to see, the prospects for SO cents tier pound for hops inside of thirty days are very favorable. He has seventy-two bales, the product of a Held of eleven acres, and Is holding for 30 cents. He said he had refused one offer of a fraction less than 26 cents, and feels confident that he will get his price by holding on a few ; weeks. . . ' 1 Not Good Crop, Either.- . A Mount Angel citizen, Charles Long, was in the -lty for a couple, of hours yesterday. He says everything is quiet at that places everybody being so busy they don't have time to get Into mis chief. Mr. Long says he has Just fin ished delivering his crop of prunes, which he soldi to C. S. Tlllson A Co.. of Salem. He reports a yield of 3,000 pounds to the acre from his eleven-acre orchard, and says this was notjafgood year for prunes, either. , f. I ANOTHER HOP POOL ' V- . ' ;:;r RUMORS OF ONE BEING FORMED A CONTRACT CONTEST IM- , ; minent. . . . y. (From Saturday's Daily.) The report was, In circulation last WgnVtotthe effect that the Oregon Hop Grower Association . was about to form another large pool of hops. Four t eeit hundred bales. 4 1 Is said, have al ready Wn secured In the pool and It Is desired to Secure at least 3.000 bales. As none of the officers nor members of the Association could be found af ter the report gained circulation and a confirmation or denial could not 1 obtained. If such are the facts of the case, what action the Association in tends to take or disposition of me hops, after pooled, is merely a f"r "'of conjecture, as it Is not known wheth er It Is intended to ship to England, a was done last year, or whether they wilt be held here until a satisfactory price ir obtained. " J, , The reports which were in circulation last night would Indicate that another contest of hop -contract was Immin ent, as it was reputed that Steams Bros- of Roseburg, who have a, conr tract with Lllienthal & Company, pr this city, for a quantity of hop at lZtfi cents per pound, came to this city yes terday and proffered, the rets -amount of money advanced, upon tne contract, for cultivating and picking expenses, but. it" I understood, tn proffer was refused, and it appears as though the contract will be contested. Accordihg to reports an agenr or Lilienthal & Co, will 8Q to :.3oMburj today to receive the hops, iand.

Rendered a De cree For Lee Brown & Sons IN THE SUIT BROUGHT BY RUAL CUSTAR FOR DAMAGE TO HIS PR EM ISES -r- AN INTERESTING CASE SOME EXCERPTS FROM DECREE. (From Saturday's Dally.) In the second department of, the State Circuit Court yesterday. Judge Boise rendered his decision for the de fendants Jn the suit of Rual Custar, plaintiff, vs. Lee Brown A Sons, de fendants. ' : " This was an action In which the plaintiff sues the defendants to recover damages and suppress' a nuisance of which the plaintiff complains, which was in the form of a statement to the effect that the sawdust and offal from a sawmill was allowed to seep through a levee and become deposited upon the plaintiff's property and ruining it for agricultural purposes. . , The testimony in the case tended to show that the damage sustained was due to the breaking of a levee' which was constructed to confine the Sanliam river to its channel, near Stayton, dur ing a heavy freshet. The plaintiff-ask' ed for damages to the amount of $450 and for an abatement of the nuisance. ' "The only matter tha,t gives the court jurisdiction is the application to re strain the party from prosecuting and maintaining the alleged nuisance, and it Involves the question, first, of wheth er It Is a nuisance, and then there l raised- in the pleadings and in the tea tlmony the question as to whether the plaintiff did not contribute to the ilamages which he, complains ofthat is, the. matter of putting the sawdust Jn such a position that It floated upon his land and caused damage to Its fer tllity. On that question the testimony develops the state of facts that . the sawdust complained of was floated there at .the time of the breaking of the levee that had been constructed, to restrain the.Santiam river from taking a new channel, and that the plaintiff assisted in constructing this levee which broke, and the sawdust com plained of mostly was floated from this levee which had been constructed of sand and dirt and sawdust which had been put- in there to keep the water off. "The testimony Is conclusive upon that subject, that he worked onthis levee and that he consented to Its Son structlon. and wSjcre the nuisance com plained of. and a man has contributed to it and consented to the establish ment -ot it, he cannot recover. v "He then complains of another thing as a matter of damages, and that Is the construction this second dyke 1 or levee, that was constructed of sawdust and slabs, had a. tendency to foul the water In his well and make if unfit for use. and that it caused pools' to gather along the lands which were rncet. and that It injured his health, and that it Injured the fertility of his soil and Is a nuisance. The testimony In this case is that this was constructed by the de fendants for the purpose of preventing the Santlam river from taking a new channel. I think the testimony, the weight of the testimony shows this: that If It had nofbeen for the con-1 struct ion of that work that was done there by the first levee and what has been done by the county, that the San- tlam river would, have changed Its channel and would have passed through this depression spoken of In the testi mony, and wjuld have gone through. principally through; the plaintiff land. -. .-- v . " ..-T. - "I am Impressed with this theory. that this levee, from the testimony. Is more likely to- be beneficial to the plaintiff than Injurious. I don't think. taking the whole case together, that he Is entitled to damages or to disturb this lesee that Is being constructed. The testimony would tend to show that the county is Interested, a great many of the ritizens are interested In it. and the weight of the testimony Is that It would stand there, and when they build it high enough so that the water will not run over It. that it would maintain Its position and fcure the property of the plain tiff as well a other parties and secure the Interests of the public I don't think it would be proper for the court to order the tTiscontinuance of this- levee snd Its being taken down. onsequently the court will dismiss this t!IL" . .

This took a great many of them to tit (alootis, as there was no bank at band.. and a good ileal of . time snd money would have tx-en consumed If the men had Visited the City for that purx. On the first pay day after the Associa tion opened up, checks amounting to $2,137. were cashed. That was two years "ago. On the last pay day, 1S7 checks amounting to $,?Z.3 were cashed; but the largest record was ; In September, which was for $7,204. 2SL" In the first year nearly "tiO.OOO was hand led In this way. and last year. .J,M chKks were cushel, amounting to $79,778.47., At first the saloon kefpr made no objtlon," but their represen tatives have gone to, the ownT of the rooms used for cashing the checks st least three times, and urged Mm to cancel the ieSse to lh Association.
