IMPORTANT DECISION Secretary Kincaid Will Issue Warrants FOR THE FIVE OREGON FAIRS, Other State Accounts Are the Courts. Still in A very important decision has today been made by Secretary of State II. R. Kincaid. He has decided to draw warrants for Hie money anually ap propriated for the different fairs. The law In each case says that the money Is anually appropriated. Tho officers of thodlffeicnt fair boards gave no tice that they would sue for the money and tl.u-i cause the state ad ditional expenses. The law reads very pliinly and is imperative, and after mature dellberatlan Mr. Kin caid has decided th.it it Is tile most pr ict icable and just procedure, and ic accordance with the law to draw the warrants. Stale Treasurer Metschan was seen hy a Journal reporter immediately upon learning the above fact, and i upon interrogation he -stated that he would cash warrants If Issued by the secretary. In fact he expressed t'n opinion that the law contemplated the Issuance of these warrants. The warrants to be drawn under tliis decision will amount to over $9,000. The State Agricultural board or State Fair board will get$5,000, the two Eastern Oregon districts fairs will each net $1500 and the Southern Oregon fair $000 and $900 respectively. The decision of Mr. Kincaid re verses all precendentn. but Is exactly In accordance with the law, and al though It changes the theory upon which the entire work of the state departments has been based for je;ir, itisbelleveJ to he the only procedure possible. Heretofore Mr Ivirus.ifd has steadfastly refused to draw the war rants for these fair boards, and It is only after much deliberation and careful investigation and the consid eration of the law and the justice and the practicality of the procedure that it has been decided upon. In the matter of the much talked about warrant case of Judge.Shattuck vs. Secretary of State Kincaid, there are no new developments. The case stands thus: Supreme court reverses decision of lower court and prepares to order lower court to try the case again, pending which order at torneys for Kincaid ltlea motion for a rehearing. The motion for a rehear ing Is still before the supreme court and will probably not be decided till there Is a full bench or till all the Judges have returned from their va cations. Then If the supreme court denies the motion for a new trial It will order the caso tried again in the lower court. This is the course that It is ex pected the case will take. If the su preme court grants the motion for a rehearing, of course the case will then be set for hearing at some future date, and will then come upin due form for argunidnc and submission. But supposing that the supreme court denies the motion for u rehear ing and sends the case back to the lower court for trial, it will come up at tho next regular term of court and the full merits of the case tested. A great many people think that the decision ordering him to draw war rants has been recleved by the Secre tary or State. Such is not the case. No stale warrants are being drawn for cases covered by the decision and perhaps none will be drawn for a long time yet If at all. People who are expecting to get warrants right away will be disappointed. It requires time to get cases through the higher and lower courts, even under the Roasting Schillings Best tea in San Francisco cos's more thin roasting other t:a in China or Japan, but it makes tea better. You don't have to pay the difference, though. It comes out of our profits. We make money in giv ing up profits. Queer I A Sclnlliiit M i" -, Sail l'iwivlto " most favorablo circumstances. This ! case his been given right or way over and ahead of nil other cases at every turn and even then tt is now very un certain how long it will be 'till the matter Is finally adjudicated nnd a peremptory writ served unon the Sec retary orderinirhim to draw warrants J It will certainly be weeks yet and may be months. The Secretary of State Is anxious ti seethe cao finally adjudicated and settled definitely but he Is powerless ' to hasten matters. He cannot antici pate the dccMon of the courti He must wait for the final decislun ami 1 then follow It. It Is perhaps well that I matters of so great Importance lie tint ruhcd too rust, for can ful consider -tion. HON, T. T. GEER DECLINES. Will not Accept the Oregon Citx.Land Office Job. Hon. T. T. Gcer, the tall Sycamore Uepubliew,was In the city yesterday, and Anally took the steps 'which Ids many friends advised, viz: to decline thepfferof the Register or the Oiegon City Land otllcc. He said: "I was not a candidate for that pi ice. And had no recommenda tions for that place. My application and all ol my recommendations were for the the position of collector of customs of the port of Portland, and that was the position 1 wanted, and my friends wanted me to have. 1 was sidetracked by thodelegation.wlthout j u, bUHwut, a- Ui,u uiu.uiH.il ... ,lm ..tn, tn.. it (.11 n.t.l ,lit .....I,. . r I nut snnnfrB I ?.. nn f.n.iiiln,l I I biiu muni;! uu 1111, Uliu biiu uiitiiuot;- tucnt and recommendation for t'lic land oilicc, made by these gentlemen, was entirely unauthorized by inc. I hive, therefore, after looking over the situation, and consulting with my friends, declined the position of regis ter of the land otllce, and urn still a candidate for collector of customs, as before. I am urged to this by Repub licans from every portion of Oregon, every mail bringing me numerous letters advising mo to take this stand." MR UEEK'S LnTTEK. 'Macleay, Or., Sept. 15, 1897. "To G. W. McUrlde and Representa tives W. R. Ellis aud T. II. Tengue: "Gentmemen: Regarding your rec ommendation for my appointment as register or the United States land of fice at Oregon City, I beg leave ,lo sayv. that extended reflection 1ms only served to confirm first conclusion, not to accept the appointment, if made. "There are two controlling reasons which impel me to tills decision, the first of which is tint I have neyer been .1 candidate, in any sense, ror the position for which I was recom mended, as an examination of the personal letters and petitions In my behalf will surely show; and Tor the further reason that several months ago I Joined In recommending a per sonal friend Tor the Oregon City ollico a bar to my acceptance of it, which I cannot persuade myself to overlook. 'I rjlslko very much to be consid ered a 'miscellaneous candidate' for any posltfon on the political chess board that may be parcelled out to me by those having the 'placing' or the men. I had, and still have, what I regard as a lauoable ambition to be collector of customs for this district: but if, In your judgment, the best in terest of the public service and or the Republican party (and or course, In cases like this we arc not Influenced by other consldcratsons) demand that this request of myself and friends be denied, then I bow as gracefully as possible to your decision, but must insist on py privilege of declining to be a candidate for any other appoint ment. "It goes without saying, gentlemen, that my attachment to the Republi can party Is supported by undimin ished ardor; for, in my judgment, there has been notlmo In Its hlsotry when It was more nearly right on all public questlau than now, and the years to como will, I am sure, find us, as heretofore, battling side by side fortho principles uc love so well.

The num ber of pounds of the dried Trait will far surpass pn-vious estimates. Fully a score or evaporators lira Mug oper ated about Saluin and the largo prune crop of the Willamette valley Is being rapidly disposed of. A number of men operating cyapo-ratorsov-rssilmated the capacity or their respective plants and contracted for moie prunes than they are able to evaporate. Hut a very small percent of the crop in this section or the val ley will go to waste hum the lack or drying facilities. Secretary 1) M. Smith, of the Ore gon Land Co , was seen today. His company Is now operating four dry ers with an aggregate capacity or 1050 bu hols. It, requires Irom twenty-four 10 ininy-six Hours to properly evapo- r.tlnthn fruit v Ut.tltl. nwnl tliat ,lU comp w(n lmvu fully o-n. . - ' 0 0 pounds of dried prunes to dispose - . - of tills winter. The work of drying prunes at the Salem cannery by tho Oregon Land Company has been in progress one week and will continue for at least two weeks longer, luillau 'prunes are being uiO'Uly handled, only a few Pt-tiles being of-! rered for sale. The crop of that va riety was exceptionally light In most localities this year. The green fruit makes about 20 pounds of the evap orted article PIIUIT OOINO to waste. The following Is taken from the Eu gene Register: The fruit dryer in this city is being taxed to Its utmost capacity at pres ent to handle tho Immense fruit crop. It Is kept at fever heat day and .night, and yet is unable to 'handle all the fruit available. Tho dryer has a ca pacity, pr. 30,000 pounds or green rruit every thirty-six hours, and Is now I drying at that rate. In the receiving room are now sac'fed over 800 boxes or prunes, besides largo quanitlcs of Bartlett pears, and more rrult is be ing brought in by the wagon load. Mr. Wllklns Is in chargo of the work, aud Informs us that several fruit growers, of tho county, will lose their entire crop, and others will suffer partial loss, through Inability to get their fruit dried During tho past year a number of small dryers have been erected In the vicinity of Eugene, with an estimated capacity of rrom 400 to 800 bushels or prunes per day, and the owners or these dry ers, in addition to caring for their own crop, contracted to dry for their neighbors. When the work of drying commenced it was found in several Instances that the drycisdlduot ful fill the c3tlmatc,and the result is that a number of growers, just at the criti cal moment, find themselves with out a place to care ror their fruit, Tho Eugene dryer daunnt handlo to exceed two-thirds of tho quantllyof rruit offered It. The prune crop or J jjanc county is rapioiy incieasing in quuntlty. A row years ago ono large dryer could bundle the entire crop, and now a dozen large dryers uro found Inadequate. hop Noras. John Ilocfur. the eterun runner and capitalist of Chuuipncg, was In the city today. He reports that in tlioblx hop yarct owned by his firm, fuliy 80 per cent will be saved, and ex pects that tue 100 acres will net about 75,000 pounds of good quality hops. They hae liarusted ubout 2000 bush els of wheat, all In good ehnpc, but ex pect some dampened grain, especially oats from their renters. Mr, HOeter reports a mamouth crop of polutocsln that section, but Is afraid they will take on a new growth, and thus Im pair tliu quality or tho product, The Gelger yard of 2)1 acres has been all picked and there was practi cally no los.
