attention! "
The United States government
wants 2,000 of your Ilk to maintain
the fire breaks In the Angeles forest
preserve provided you can be se
cured without cost. Here Is the
proposition: R. H. Charlton, forest
supervisor at Los Angeles, says U
costs the 'government thousands of
dollars to keep the fire breaks clear
of weeds each year. He figures that
2,000 goats could do this work nicely,
enjoying themselves the while. Con
sequently he is offering goat ranch
ers the free use of a great expanse
of government grazing land. '
A GREAT HEW
YEAR'S PROGRAM
AT THE BLIGH
JOHN CHICK AND COMPANY CAP
TURES EVERY. AUDIENCE WITH
MAGNIFICENT SINGING AND
SPLENDID ACTING.
Whether or not John Chick and
company, the popular comedy actors
at the Bllgh, deliberately planned It
or not, they have certainly saved the
best for the last. The sketch put on
last night was freely pronounced not
only the best this company has done
but the best short comedy seen in
Salem this season. Anyone wishing
to end the old year in a happy frame
of mind can not afford to miss this
treat
When Miss Mabel Alberta sang her
solo the crowd realized that a good
play was on. Then Elmer Ballard in
his great bass voice followed with
another song he was enthusiastically
received. When Mrs. Chlr.-k rendered
her "And thats a man", the house
was convulsed. And when the end of
the unique and catchy plot was re
vealed the applause would not sub
side until the company made the re
turn for a second march around the
stage. . .
Other features of the last program
of the year are well up In quality to
the rare comedy put on by the John
Chick company. Gorman and Phil
lips are in a class all by themnelves
when it comes to clever talking and
dancing stunts. The work of the or
chestra Is attracting much attention
In complementing the pictures, in as
sisting the dancers, and in rendering
fine selections during the program.
Take in your last 1911 show at the
Bllgh and laugh the old year out.
A PORTLAND
PHYSICIAN
TALKS SUNDAY
' Dr. W. S. Knox, one of Portland's
most prominent physicians, ' will
speak before the regular men's meet
ing of the Y. M. C. A. at 3:30 Sundiy
afternoon. His subject will deal with
the vital question of "sex and health."
In his position as a practicing physi

bumped up against this question
over and over again and has been

Extra music has been provided for
the occasion and the orchestra will
render several selections. These
meetings are being enjoyed by a
large number of Salem men both

FAIR GROUNDS
Believing that if it can go before
the next legislature will a well-defined
scheme as to what Improvements l(
Intends to make on the fair grounds,
that It can secure the appropriations
needed, the State Fair Board, under
the direction of Secretary Meredith,
Is having maps made, of the grounds,
and also has instructed the state arch
itect to prepare a general scheme for
the beautifying of the grounds and
for the construction of buildings.
The board went before the last leg'
Islature and asked for an appropria
tion of $150,000, and $50,000 was ap
propriated. When this bill came up
to Governor West he vetoed It. The
baord not only Intends to ask for this
appropriation, but much more added
to it, and has begun its campaign. A
topographical map of the grounds Is
now being prepared by the engineer
Ing department. This will show the
location of every building, tree and
shrub. When completed It will be
turned over to State Architect Knigh
ton, and, with It Is a guide, be will be
asked to formulate a general scheme
of Improvements, which will bring
the grounds up to a state where they
will not only accommodate the fair
held here, but make them equal to
state fair grounds of other states.

themselves unable to cope with them,

COURT DECISIONS
Henderson t. Lemke, Multnomah Co.
Decided December 19, 1911.
P. W. Henderson, appellant,, y.
Henry Lemke and Agnes Lemke, re
spondents. Appeal from Multnomah
County. Hon. John B. Cleland, Judge.
Argued and submitted Dec. 6, 1911.
EL S. J. McAllister (McAllister & Up
ton on brief) for appellant James
Cole (Cole & Cole and J. O. Wilson
on brief) for respondents. McBride,
J. Reversed and new trial ordered.
This Is an action to recover com
missions upon a real estate sale. The
complaint alleges, In substance, that
plaintiff Is a real estate dealer in
Portland, Oregon; that at the date of
the alleged contract defendants were
the owners of certain real estate which
Is described In the complaint; that
on August 20, 1909, defendant Henry
Lemke, acting for himself and as the
duly authorized agent of Agnes . Lem
ke, gave to plaintiff the exclusive
right to secure a purchase for the
period of five days the purchase
price of the property to be $10,000;
and defendants agreed to, pay plain
tiff, as commissions for his service
In securing a purchaser, the sum of
5 per cent on the first $2000 and 2 V4
per cent on the balance of the pur
chase price, which agreement is in
the following words and figures: "1
hereby agree to pay to P. W. Hen
derson a legal commission of 5 per
cent on the first $2000 and iVi per
cent on the balance, provided any
customer shall purchase my property
who has been shown the property by
P. W. Henderson at any time." Signed
"H. Lemke."
That plaintiff produced a purchaser,
within the period, who was able, ready
and willing to purchase the property
on the terms of the sellers; that
thereby the commissions were earned
and became due and payable.
There was a denial of all the ma
terial facts stated and the case was
called for trial. On the trial defen
dants objected to the Introduction of
any testimony on the ground that the
complaint did not state facts suffi
cient to constitute a cause of action,
and after consideration the objection
was sustained. The specific point to
defendants' objection was that the
alleged contract was within the stat
ute of frauds and therefore void. That
portion of the statute pertaining to the
matter 4n issue is Sec. 808, L. O. L.,
and reads as follows: "In the follow
ing cases the agreement Is void un
less the same or some note or mem
orandum thereof, expressing the con
sideration, be In writing and sub
scribed by the party to be charged,
or by his lawfully authorized agent;
evidence, therefore, of the agreement
shall not be received other than the
writing, or secondary evidence of its
contents in the cases prescribed by
law. 8. An agreement entered
Into subsequent to the taking effect
of this act, authorizing or employing
an agent or broker to sell or purchase
real1 estate for compensation or a com
mission." Plaintiff appeals.
McBride, J. We are of the opinion
that the contract Is valid and not In
contravention to the statute of frauds.
It amounted to an employment of the
plaintiff to show the property which
defendants owned, and practically
stipulated that If he did so and a sale
in defendants terms followed that la
bor, then defendants were to pay a
commission. Here the thing to be
done by plaintiff Is to show the prop
erty. If he does that he has paid Ills
price for the commission. It Is the
consideration for the contract. It is
not necessary that the consideration
be stated In exact terms if it can be
made out clearly from the whole wxUs
ing. Straight v. Wight, 60 Minn. 515;
Union Bank v. Coster, 3 N. Y. (3
Comstock), 53 Am. Dec. 280; Barney
v. Forbes, 118 N. Y. 580; Laing v. Lee,
20 N. J. L. 337; Marquand v. Hipper,
12 Wend. 520.
The objection that the contract Is
void because It does not state the sum
which was to be paid for the prop
erty, is untenable. It was sufficient
If a purchaser who had been shown
the property, presented himself and
was ready, able and willing to pur
chase for any price .that defendant
saw fit to ask. The agreement . does
not limit defendants to any specific
price; they had a perfect right under
It to make the price $5000 or $100,000
but It they did fix the price and It
was paid or the purchaser was ready
to pay It, they were liable under their
promise.
The argument that the memoran
rum Is void because it does not de
scribe the property Is not tenable.
This is not a contract for the sale of
real property but a contract for the
services of a person to find a pur
chaser. It is Immaterial what the
description of the property Is if it
can be identified, and while the com
plaint Is not so definite in this respect
as it could have .been made, we think,
In the absence of a motion to make
definite, It is sufficient: Baird v
Loescher, 9 Calif. All. 65; Sanches v
Yarba, 8 Calif. App 490.
The evil, which It was the object
of this statute to remedy, was to put
a stop to a once prevalent practice
of real estate brokers of claiming
commissions. Here what both parties
were to do clearly appears from the
writing "signed by the party to be
charged."
For the purposes of the motion to
dismiss, every allegation of the com
plaint is taken to be true and, there
fore, we have a case presented in
wh(ch defendants agreed In writing
that, If plaintiff should perform a cer
tain act and a sale upon defendants'
terms resulted, defendants would pay
plaintiff a specified commission; and
that plaintiff performed his part of
the contract to the letter. It is true
that the statute of frauds ought to
be enforced even though the results
may be harsh and Inequitable, but
courts ought not to give It a forced
and far-fetched construction where
such Interpretation will affect a fraud
greater than that which the statute
was designed to remedy.
We are of the opinion that upon a
fair construction this contract does
not contravene the law. The judg
ment Is reversed and a new trial
ordered.

San Francisco, Dec. 29. Most of to
day's session in the trial of Dr. Otto
C. Joslen on a charge of betraying
Ethel Williams, under promise of mar
riage, was consumed by the defense
In the examination of Arthur H. Retz
loff, and but one point established.
Retzloff admitted that he made Miss
WIlllamB the beneficiary of an insur
ance' policy In January, 1909, and that
the girl at that time gave her age as
18, at variance with the age now given
by her.
Efforts by Attorney Shortrldge for
Joslen to show anything derogatory to
the complaining witness In her rela
tion with Retzlot ffell flat. Joslen's
counsel was twice admonished by
Judge Lawlor, after long stjetches of
unproductive questioning, to proceed
at once to some material Issue, but
was unable to open up a single vein
of testimony that reflected upon the
girl.
Rotzloff frankly admitted making
presents to the girl. He declared that
he had never taken her to questionable
resorts. The witness took every op
portunity to Indicate that their rela
tions were above reproach. He punc
tured one line of testimony which the
defense has apparently been holding
In reserve, by declaring, In answer to
a question that the woman with whom
he had drinks In a certain cafe was
not Ethel Williams, but another wo
man, whom he volunteered to produce
In court.
Cross-examination of the witness Is
