Miles" guardian of the ierson and estate of Elma S.Miles, a minor, asking for an order to sell certain real estate belong ing to said minor, and no objections having been filed, an order was made by the court as prayed for. An order wa also made by, the court authorizing Salame La Flemme, exe cutrix 'of the estate of Edward La rjemme, deeased, to sell 60 cords of wood belonging to the estate, a peti tion for such order having been filed by the executrix. ' .' VERDICT FOR RODGERS JURY FOp-ND THAT ; PLAINTIFF DID NOT FIGURE IN WOOD. -: ' CONTRACT. The wheat market has declined some what during the past week and now stands weak at .6S cents in the local market for shipping purposes. . For some time it has been strong at 63 cents and for a few. daya 70 cents' was offered ia individual cases . for round lots, : but it . begins tat look as though, the price had reached a level with the outside world, and there seemf to be no valid reason for any great change, in the near future - It is claimed by Portland exporters .that very little more- will be exported I for this season, and if this is the' case, the remainder of the wheat in the val ley will be ground for. local consump tion by the country mills. As there is plenty of wheat in sight fi all parts of the valley for this purpbse no sharp bidding is anticipated by local mills for some time at least. . ' During, the ; ra.st , week considerable wheat has been 'sold by farmers In Sa lem and other, points lit the valley. This was by people who were holding for.the highest possible pride and as soon as the market showed signs of weakening they hastened to, dispose of their hold ings at the best price obtainable, me recent A re in Portland disposed of a little surplus of about 335,000 bushels of wheat. 'This will have no effect, how ever," beyond, making tne season s ex port that much smaller.- : Considerable wheat has been shipped to San Francisco from Portland during the past month, but1' that market has been satisfied. j Fort Boise West, executor of the estate of William Fowler West, de ceased, filed a petition through his at torneys, XV i T. Slater and W. M. Kaiser, asking for im order of the court allow ing him. as such executor, to borrow the sum of $S6.10 for the purpose of paving the 1302 taxes levied against the estate, there being r.o funds or personal property orf hand. The prayer of the petitioner was granted by the court. 11 I ' Oats Are. Unchanged. The situattoif ' continues about the same in the local oat. market, oats be Ing worth from 2S to 3d cents 'for ship ping and very hard to dispose of at that figure. However, some sales are being made right along, Feed stores pay 32 cents and for some choice lots 35 cents, but they only buy what they need for present purposes and nt these prices are able to take their choice from all that offers. The bulk of the crop is etfll in the farmers hands. ' ' , ." - . ". i Potatoes Selling Slovyly. potatoes have. been selling very slowly for the past week, the shippers not being, able to .find a market for any great quantfty. California seems to be the only outlet for the Oregon crop and an exporter said yesterday, that Call fornla could not begin to take all of our surplus. Prices "for shipping potatoes range from 20 to 25 cents, and grocery stores arje paying 30 cents, for enough A civil suit, in which C. F, Brun dridge was the plaintiff and George F. Rodgers the defendant, was tried be fore a jury in Recorder N. J. Judah's court yesterday afternoons The action was brought to " recover . the sum of $38.40, alleged to be due the plaintiff from defendant for hauling wood. The defendant introduced testimony show ing that the contract for the hauling of the wood wa "not made with the nlalntifr hut u-ith lha nla intlfT'a fathov and further proved that a settlement to PPly their, local demands. TheV had been made with the father of the PUy only cho,ce lots at these fiffuresf plaintiff. ; . . The jur composed of Claire Baker, L Green baum. J. M. Lawrence, Werner FenneL W. J. Demorest and Edward Ellis, returned a veridct in favor of the defendant, and judgment for costs of the trial was entered against the plain tiff. . Webster Holmes appeared as plain tiffs, attorney, while George G. Bing ham apepared for the defendant. Per Infant p.nd Children. fffes Kind Yea K3Y& Always BangM Br : - - v .- FGovernor. Chamberlain yesterday re ceived a petition for the pat-don of John H. Gates, who. Is serving a. three-year sentence in theenitentlary from Lane eoupty. upon conviction . of forgery. Gates was tried and convicted, in Eu gene, in May, 1901, of the crime of forg ing Hon. H. W.. Corbett's name to a check for $75. The petition was signed by 141 of the most prominent citizens of Marion, Linn"' and Lane counties, in Wbich those of "the1ormer are in the majority, and 'includes the names of Hon, J. M. Poorman, J. H. Settlemier, Walter L. Tooze, "Frank Davey. and all the Marion veounty officials. The peti tion sets forth that petitioners believe that the ends of justice have been fully satisfied in his case and that he will make a good citizen in the future as he did prior to his conviction. It is said that by reason of excessive indulgence in , liquor. Gates was , not mentally responsible for the crime of which he was convicted and it is also said that H. W. Corbett.has waived all objections In case the Governor sees fit to exercise executive clemency In his case. '-,'.,.' Hon., L. T. Harris, deputy district at torney: at Eugene, under whose promo tion Gates was convicted and sentenced accepted servtee of notice and waived time so as to admit of the considera tion of the petition at once. Mr. Harris does not consider Gates a natural crim inal and will make no objections to the exercise of clemency, inasmuch as a large part of the sentence has been served and Gates has been a trusty since last June, which indicates a good record. -' fmtl E.

In case they find nothing in the Gold en State; they will return to old Web- foot. We are sorry to lose this fam ily from our midst. They have resld ed here for thirteen "years on the same farm, and the neighbors regret to -see them leaver But change is the order of. the universe. Cr.

The freezing and dry weather have to some extent hurt the fall sown grain, but it is hoped not seriously. John and Flavius Meier are attend ing college at Mt. Angel. Flavius ex pects to graduate the coming June. - George Jones, our new neighbor from Washington., is stocking Up with new farming implements. r . t In eonversatlon a few days ago our genial neighbor, L. C. Cavanagh. stated that he will clear for his year's wont on the farm, $3500 to $4000. That is a neat profit surely. He does not wish to sell out and leave. '. He thinks the old; Willamette valley "and fanning in it Is good enough for him. and it is. certainly. Mr. Cavanagh Is hopeful and : Life Guards. The Life Guards are two regiments of cavalry forming part of the British household ' troops. They are gallant soldiers, and every loyal British heart is proud of them. Not only the King's household, but yours, ours. evtr boIy"a should have its life guards. The- ned of them is-especially great when th greatest foes of life, diseases, find al lies In the. Very elements, as cold.. in-, fiuenza. catarrh, the grip and pneumo nia do in the stormy month of March. The best way that we know oft guard against" these diseases is to stiff ngthen the syestem wiih Hood's !sarsajarilla the greatest of all life .guards. It re moves the conditions lr which thesa diseases make their most successful at tack, gives vigor and tone to all the vital organs and functions, ar.l im parts a genial warmth to the. 'blood.. Remember the weaker the system tlx; greater the exjtosure to disease. Hood's Sjursaparilla makes the system strong.' HARD ON THE COONS. -JEFFERSON CltY. Mo.,. March 12.
