goats and they were billed through toj

MRS. JOHN XL ALBERT BURIED
WITH IMPRESSIVE CEREMON-
IES YESTERDAY.
Death, Which Occurred Sunday Morn
ing at Eleven O'clock, Was Result of
Automobile Accident that Happened
Wednesday Night on'Rynearson Road
Mrs. John II. Alberf died at her home
in this city on Sunday, July 9th, at
noon. Although the deceased has been
an invalid for years, the immediate
cause of her death was the resul of in
juries receieved in the automobile acci
dent of last Wednesday evening,
which in the case of a person of good
health, would not have been serious.
The maiden name of thp deceased
was Mary Elizabeth Ilolman, the child
of Joseph and Almira Phelps Holmes.
She was born April 11, 1844, ia Salem,
Oregon. Her parents both arrived in
Oregon in 1840, her father coming
across the plains, and her mother
around the Horn in the Methodist mis
sionary ship Lausanne. Both arrived
in Oregon City on the same day. Mrs.
Albert was one of the first white chil
dren born in Salem, being one of a fa'
mily of four. Geo. P. Ilolman, a broth
er, in Salt Lake City, is the only 'sur
viving member of the family, two sia
ters having passed away in young wo
manhood. Mrs. Albert received her ed
ucation in Wilberham academy, Massa
chusetts, before the building of the
first transcontinental raailroad, making
the journey with the family by way. of
the Panama routo. The family remain
ed in the east until the education of the
children was completed. With the ex
ception of that time, she has lived in
Salem continuously.
In April, '1867, she was united in
marriage with Mr. John Albert, and
this unioin was blessed with a family
of fiev children, four of whom are liv
ing: Jos. Albert, Harry E. Albert,
Mrs. Myra A. Wiggins and Mrs. Geo. P.
Rodgers, all of this city. The fifth
and youngest" child, a son, died in in
fancy. At an early age the deceased
united with the Methodist church, but
soon after her marriage transferred her
membership to the Presbyterian church!

' 1 ' SASTX.Y BINDING.
Mrs. Etta Hayes Secures Final Judg
ment for Half Interest in Property of
Former Husband, Horace If. Horton,
- In Supreme Court Opinion.
The admission or declarations of an
agent of a corporation stand on pre
cisely 'the same footing aa those of an
agent of a private individual, and that
fthe admissions or declarations of an
agent .are , somewhat binding on his
; principal, but if is only when the act
1 of the , agent - will bind the, principal
and The representations or statements
are made at the time and characterize
the act, that they beeome competent
evidence for that purpose. Sueh, in
substance, is the effect of the holding
of Justice Bean, of the supreme court,
in which he reverses , a decree entered
by Judge Robert Eakin, of the circuit
eotirt foT Union county in the ease of
J. T. Alden. respondent, va. The Grande
J Ronde Lumber Company, appellant.
This action was brought by the plain
tiff, Alden, to recover damages from
the defendant, compaany for the loss of
three horses . which were killed 'or per
manently Injured while in the employ
of the defendant, upon the ground of
negligence. The principal witnesses
for the plaintiff were Foremen Johnson
and Bean, in charge of two- lumbering
camps, whose testimony tended to show
that the aeeidentts, in which the horses
sustained their injuries, were due to
earlessness in building the loads which
prove'd top-heavy and overturned upon
a bridge, dragging the horses with it.
The material features of this evidence
were allowed to stand by the trial court
bat. in reversing the ruling, Justice
Bean .ay. the evidence a. to the state-
ureal "1 uuuuii buu xxrsu, w bc,
t,lsntlr Mnn.i.r thm .ul.nt. t
an. to th
plainttiff's horses and. the manner
in
which it occurred were not binding up
on the defendant or competent as evi
dence because they related to past
transactions and were in the nature of
mere historical narratives of past oc
currences. '
Justice Bean is the author of another
opinion in the case of Etta Hayes, re
spondent, vs. Horace M. Ilorton, ap
pellant, in which he affirms the decree
of Judge George F. Davis found for the
plaintitfl.
. This ease has an interesting history
and eontain. some good points of law.
Mrs. Hayes, the plaintiff, was the. for
mer wife of the defendant Horton, who
was formerly register of the United
States land office at Burns. About
three years ago a man named Hayes,
her present husband, was accused, pro
secuted and convicted of criminal inti
macy witih Horton 's wife and was sen
tenced to and served a term of years in
the penitentiary. In the meantime
Horton procured a divorce from his
wife and, when Hayes secured his dis
charge from prison, he and Mrs. Hor
ton were married.
Some years ago Horton purchased
some property with his own money and
had the deed made in the name of him
self and wife. This action was brought
by his former wife, who was named in
the deed, for the partition of the pro
perty, but her former husband and de
fendant set up the counter elaim in
defense that he had procured the deed
ia the name of himself and wife merely
for convenience and asked the court
to declare her a trustee. The . trial
court held, however, which holding is
upheld by the appellate eourt, that
when a man and wife arc named jointly
in a deed to property each is entitled to
an interest in entirety, but in the ease
of a divorced man and woman they are
tenants in eoinmon in the property and
that the plaintiflTwas entitled to a half
interest : therein.

HARNEY; COIJNTY SHOWS GAIN XN
SCHOOL POPULATION BUT A .
LOSS IN ATTENDANCE.
rirst two County superlntenaent e
pbrts, that of Harney and Josephine
Counties, Received by Superintendent
. s Ackerman Suggests Remedies.
Ji
The eountv suDerintendenta of liar-
ney and Josephine counties are the first
to comply with the law in regard to
the" filing of annual reports of the con
ditions .n respective counties. On
partieoiary peenliar difference shown in
the conditions respecting these two
counties is that while the 1905 census
shows an increase of 10S persons of
school age in Harney county over cast
year, or a total of 1114, the school at
tendance1 has fallen off to the extent of
24,121 days. In Josephine county th
total school papulation for 1905 is given
as 3,013 or an increase of 136 over last
year and there ia also a healthy in
crease of 5,410 days school attendance
shown for the school year 1904-05 over
the previous years, i - -v '
In Josephine county there are 103
teachers employed, a'gainst 81 last sea-!
son, thej increase being wholly in fe-
male teachers, and the scale of salaries -
for female teachers have advanced!
from an average of $39 a month last
war to $41. the present year, while the!
average
teachers
average
of $52 per month -paid male
last year has lropped to an
of $48. : -In ; Harney county
there were 32 teachers employed dur
ing the j, 1904-05 school year, whereas
there was a total of 37 for the year,
previous and the salary scale has ad- j
vanced from an average of $J3.33 forj
male teachers per month, to $75, as j
shown by the reports, and from $53.50 1
to $G0 in the case of female teachers, j
In speaking of the falling off in at-,
tendance in Harney county Superin- ;
tendent Aeketman said he could not J
account for it exeept through the fail
ure of , the teaehers to keep an'accur-J
ate account of their registers. This(
could only be remedied, he1 thinks, by
the "county superintendent checking up
the district clerks 's reports and ascerJ
taining the cause of the shortage in at-;
tendance; and where it exists and in-1
quire into the cause. The only way
that teachers could be induced or com- j
pelled t keep their registers up and,
get therii into the county superintend- j
ent at the close of the term would be toj
withhold the teacher's salary for thet
last month and pay it over to him np-
on the -condition that he send in his!
register jin due season for the verifiea-j
tion of (the superintendent. Jle also4
reeonunends, as a permanent remedy. to
the failure of teachers . and clerks to ,
keen utn their attendance reciater. the,
adoption of the system in practice in
Washington of making the school ap
portionment upon the general attend
ance rather than the school population.
the fact that he has as splendid a nerve
and self-control as was ever displayed
under like circumstances. By his thor
oughbred demeanor he haa commanded
the respect of all and won the admira-'
tion of many.
As a matter of fact, public septiment
has changed in regard to Mr. Miller,
from the usual half-hearted sympathy
to pronounced indignation, since it was
proven n open court how that nn just
verdict !of gnilty was reached, at the
time Judge White refused to grant a
new triil. While it is doubtless true
that thej world is inclined to 4 ' jump on
a man who is down," still, when it see-
that he i won 't lie " downed, ' ' is fight
ing game for his rights and his honor,
against j an unfair combination of cir
cumstances, the better phase of human
nature is called into life and the vic
tim of these circumstances is at once
accorded justice in the publie mind,
and those who are seeking to injure
him get what is coming to them sooner
or later, j
