The company was to have tb right
to mix the delivered wheat with its con
sumable. stock, and" to eeli the same or

wheat and eturn the proceed, thereof
and defeudant agreed in con siderntion
of piaintiffs leaving such, wht-at with

; per bushel for wicks; but -in ese the
defendant did not deliver the wheat
to plaintiff upon demand before the
first day of July next succeeding the
iafs or the delivery of the wheat, then
the defendant was to pay plaintiff the
lull market price of the whvat at Sa
'Jem, Oregon, at the date of the demand,
Jesn 2 1-2. cents per bushel but In fW
the, plaintiff did not make such demand
of defendant beforw the first day of

and the defendant company by Attor
neys Handesron Keed,' t Portland, and
J. If. MeXary, and taken under advise
ment, j Tlie txdnt ia question was the
ownership of the wheat "at the time of
the fire. In ruakinir its defense, the?
mill company laid considerable strees
upon the clause "damage by th He
ments .ftxeepte! " contained in the re
ceipts or contracts delivered by the com
pany to tne parties, who delivered the
wheat,, lut m bis deeiMon Ju Ige Bur
nett holds. that tb answer of the de
fendant doe not state, facta sufficient
to nable court to determine herefrom
wheber th bss of the buildings an
contents was occasioned by th "ete'
ments" or 1r the act of some one nsine
the "element" of fire as a means of
accomplishing hi destructive purpose.
The uige said I ' The mere allegation
that 'a fire oeeurreJ' without 'any
further showing, is quite consistent
with a wilful and avowed firing of the
buildings bv order of the defendant's
board of directors, which, of course,
would' le no defense in this action."
The eout alo holds thai in he trans
actions mentioned and described in
the pleadings the defendant was not
a warehoust-man wihin the meaning
and intent of the atntutca of the State
of Orvgon inadd and provided for he
regulation of warehouses and ware
housemen. Kelative to the question of owner
ship, Judge Burnett's opinion, in brief,
is as ! follows:
"In eaws where grain Is delivered
by an owner to another and it appears
either by exprees agreement of the
parties or from the course of dealing
between them:
'1' Ttial- ha Tin ri v in vIiadi it ia
dtdivipred has the right to diKjose 5T it
at his ideasure, and .
"2. That in settlement of his obli
gation, he may, at bin election, return
a like quality ami quantity of other
grain or pay m money for the grain
delivered to him, the transaction con
stitutes a sale of the grain and the title
passes to the person to whom it was
delivered."

ANOTHER HEAVY BATTLE WILL BE
PARTICIPATED IN NEAR
DECISIVE BATTLE BREWIKO.
HT. FETKKSBUKO, Oct. 11.
The battle upon which tbo fate of
this wear's campaign ijn Manchuria.
depends seems only! a few day
ahead. All that Is positively known
officially is that ' Koronatkln has
cast his die at Ust, about-faced bis
army and Is marching against the
enemy. According to unofficial re-
ports Field Marshal Ovama at the
first sign of Kuropatkin taking the
offensive, began drawing ia his
line and concentrating upon forti-
fid positons north of Liao Yang.
According to the latest report
from Mukden, dated at 6 o'clock
tonight, the Japanese outposts are 0
being driven in all along the Jine.
The strategy of the forward move-
went will bo concealed so all sur- "
misea as to where Kuropatkin in-
tends to strike are guess-work. Of-
ficers o the' general staff express
absolute , confidence that Kuropat-
kin has found a weak point in the
Japanese armies.
STATE GRANGE
PATRONS OF HUSBANDRY WANT
TO MAKE AN EXHIBIT OF OR
EGON'S PRODUCTS
National Grange to Meet There in No
vember, and There Will Be a Good
Many Representative Farmer. From
Other Fanning States of the Union.
Mr. A. F. Miller, of Sellwood, came
up yesterlay in tba interest of the ex
hibit features of the coming National
Grange, which is to meet in Portland
on the 16th of November and continue
ia session for nine days at Armory
Hall. The Grange is made up from
lelegates from all the states having
statu grangee and each state master
and his wife are the delegates. How
ever, axlarge attendance is anticipated
besi the regular delegates.
Arrangements have wen made with
all the railroads entering Portland for
special rates to all attending and it is
proponed to have two or three excur
sions out from Portland during the
meeting. It is presumed there will be
at least 2."0 of the brightest farmers
from all over the Union in attendance,
and th etate grangers want to show
them as much of Oregon as jwewble.
One of the trip planned and one that
is sure to fructify is from Portland to
Albany, thence to ;orvallis, where tne
Agricultural College promises them a
banquet, an I thence down the West
Side to Portland. This is one of the
most instructive trips in the valley and
is worth while making.
Tho State Orange is also arranging
to hold a small agricultural fair in the
Armory for the lxiiefit of tile visit
ors during the grange meeting, and this
is what brings Mr. Miller here at thin
time. He is looking after things to
exhibit , that will show Oregon's re
sources to the best advantage.
Tbey have already arranged to get
the exhibit from Linn, Washington
and Benton eountirs, and probably
Marion, which were at the State Fair.
They will aleo have the State Agri
cultural College exhibit from the experi
ment farm in the Grande Konle. The
lot of fruit eecured by the Lewis - and
1ark Fair from Mrs. Wands anil Mrs.
Jonvs will also be loaned them for this
exhibit. T -
Mr. Miller' has had a good deal of
talk with Governor Chamberlain, who is
vvry much interested in the affair,
and secure! from him a recommenda
tion to the ofiicials at the State farms
who are-said: to have the flm?H vege
table in the valley to help him out all
they Can.
Of course, all the things shown there
that am not periehable will be turned
over to the Lewis and (Hark Fair after
the meeting of the grange is over.
The object of Mr. Miller's visit will
be seen to be a very laudable one and
fno doubt be will get all the encourage
ment he may reqoirw from the citizens
of this city and valley.
i FISH INDUSTRY.
This Gives Employment to Three
' Thousand Five Hundred Men .
Throughout State.
State Labor Commissioner O. P. Iloff
has made up some data concerning the
fishing buaisess ia Oregon, which show
something of tbe number of men em
ploved and the wage paid in this
industry. -Commissioner
Hoff la his report ways:
"The fisheries and the' hatcheries
make up on of the great Industrie of
Oregon. Under this beading may pro
perly be included the oyster oyster bus
iness which Is growing rapidly. There
are about 600 men employed a. fisher
men or oysterroen alone, to say nothing
of other occupation followed ia connec
tion with these important factors la tne
commerce of tbe atate. -
Net all of those who furnish fih to
tbe eanneriea are to be counted as
laborers or wag earners, as a very
large per cent receive a certain price
per pound for tba flsl. In late years
since several canneries' have adopted
the rule of having fishermen own their
own boat and nebs, this class has ma
terially improved their condition by bo
oming settled members of society, and
more proflelet la their vocation, lessen
ieg the arr blent as compared with tbe
period when fishermen were more of a
f lasting population.

, Most Surrender Port Arthur.
London, Oct. 10. The Post's
Shanghai correspondent says it . is
stated thai Lieut. General Htoeasel
' has reported that . unless relieved
before Deeemlitr be mast surrender.
While Kuropatkin has continaed to
advance bis entire front against , the
arm Us of Feild Marshal Oyama he has
tot met any, formidable oppeeitioa.
However, the expectation is that a bat
tle of magnitude must be fought within
a few days. It is believed the Japan
ese will make a stand at Liao Yang.
Several positions east of that place
have been abandoned by the Japanese.
At St. Petersburg it is surmised Oya
maya 'a forces have been weakened by
the dispatch of troops to aid General
Nog! in redueiug Port Arthur, and that
this condition has afforded Kuropatkin
an opportunity to recover, ground he
lost during August.
