The damage has been immense and is as yet unmeas urable. Probably the most expensive dam age was sustained by the Farmers' Telephone company. The whole sys tem of poles and wires was practical ly destroyed. There were about 800 miles of lines radiating from Gresh am three days ago,, but now there is not a circuit In use. Two-thirds of the poles are flat on the ground, the wires are a hopeless tangle. The dam age has not been compiled, but It will take a month to rebuild the system to its former efficiency. The other telephone lines belonging to the Mount Hood Railway company, the 0. W. P., the Pacific Telephone company and the Portland water board are also badly crippled and out of service. Inestimable damage was done to fruit trees all over the whole terri tory. Many young orchards are set back to their beginning, while the old ones are split and broken so badly that they will bTjow the scars of the silver thaw" for years. Giant trees are lying across the county roads in numberless places, and travel Is all but suspended for any distance. No estimates can be placed on the loss, but it will run Into many thousands of dollars before full restoration can be made., 4 NEWS.

EAST, Cashier, S. 8. EAST, Vic-Pre. DR. L. B. STEEVES, H. ROBERTS, .; Directors. For Home Labor. Salem, Or., Jan. 9. Ed. Journal: As reader of your valuable paper I am well aware that you believe in Justice and fairness. At the present time the labor mar ket is at a very poor point. But not at such a point that the floating ele ment that Is drifting into this city every day should have the right and privilege over a man who has a wife ana large family. I know of cases of men with blankets on their backs who come into town and get work over a married man. They only stay a few days and leave again. The other day a man with a large family pleaded his case to a contractor in this city. But no, "filled up," was the reply, yet the said contractor hired two foreigners half an hour later. I don't think that this is fair to our city. We want a large city and we want families to stay with us and I think that the best of the citizens of Salem will agree with me and voice our subject to the mayor and council that all contractors operating in our city be compelled to have their work performed by the married men as far as possible. One family in particular to draw their at tention to Is a very deserving one and as far as three or four erood. honest, sober and hard working men can be had on short notice. Mr. Editor, I thank you for your past favors and hope that this may find a creditable place in one of your columns. Wishing you success and prosper ity In the New Year, Yours respectfully, HARVY RITCHESON SCOTT. (The party referred to can be found by calling or by mall at Thir teenth street North, No. 125.

Journal: I -wish to commend your policy of persistently advocat ing the patronizing, of Oregon Indus tries and the use of Oregon products. . The merchant should be . educated to supply . Oregon products to their customers when they ' are at liberty to do so; as they,, .could . in cases where customers do not express a preference for products from else where. Even if such products had to be sold frequently . upon a closer margin, ltwould pay the merchant later In increased business resulting from increased pay-rolls. I also wish to commend your stand in regard to the sewer bonds of your city. You are certainly right in your. plea for justice but it is hard to tell what will be the outcome in our courts for farclal legal technicalities, precedents and other, procedures that often lead to injustice. But such must continue as long as the different departments of our gov ernment are. ruled by city men, that are always surrounded by artflclal environments and conditions; as such conditions naturally lead away from nature, where we must go to learn and acquire a deep sen'ie of justice without frills and tads from the legal arts of man. It is all expressed by Cooper In one sentence, as follows: God made the country and man made the town." NATURE STUDENT. o Call for Bids.

MAY DRAW $200 IF PARTY CASTS 5 PER CENT VOTE Attorney-General Crawford yester day gave an opinion for Secretary of State Olcott to the effect that dele gates to national conventions repre senting all political parties that have 5 per cent or more of the vote at the last preceedlng election are entitled to $200 as expense money, to be paid by the state under the new presidential preference lawv The question arose as to -whether only those parties who are entitled to vote for presidential electors at the primary nominating election would have the privilege of collecting the ex pense money or whether other parties would have an equal privilege to name delegates In, a convention and secure the expense money. Secretary Olcott today prepared a form of a petition to be used by can didates for delegates to national con ventions, the form being as follows: To Ben W. Olcott, secretary of state of the state of Oregon, and to the mem bers of the party and the electors of the state of Oregon. I reside at and my postoffice address Is I ani a duly registered member of the party. If I :un elect ed to the office of delegate to the national conven tion for the nomination of candidates for president and vice-president of the United States at the primary nomin ating election to be held In the state of Oregon on the 19th day of Anrll, 1912, I will qualify as such officer. If I am elected I will, during my term of office (Here the candidate, In not exceed ing 100 words, may state any measure or principles he especially advocates, and the form In which he wishes his name on the nominating ballot. In not exceeding 12 words). iE3 (Signature of the candidate). OREGON SUPREME COURT DECISIONS Sun Dial Ranch v. May Land Co. Multnomah County. ' (Continued from yesterday.) appearances presented on the bank; and to examine the Tecord which the river Itself had , made,, according to the rule Indicated In the case of Houghton v. C, D. & M. R. Co., to take Into consideration all the cir cumstances and natural conditions, and we think, from the evidence and the findings of fact made by the trial court, that this was done. The action was tried by the court without a Jury, and we can only ex amine the testimony to ascertain whether or not there was any com petent evidence tending to support the findings made tiy the trial judge. Salem ractlon Co. v. Anson, 41 Or. 562, 570 (69 Pac. 675); Glenn v. Dorsheimer, 51 Fed. 404. The trial court reached the conclusion that the bar in question was below the high- water mark, and that It was not raised, by the deposit of alluvion, to the dignity of being an accretion to the main land. We think there was competent evidence to support the findings and that they should not be disturbed. Were to try the case de novo, we should be compelled to remember that the trial court had a peculiar advantage In inspecting the premises at two different seasons of the year, and as held in Montgomery $3206.75 "- .'

The question asked in the instructions to the Jury in Paine Lumber, Co.. v. United States, 55 Fed. 854,. 865 as follows: "Was it that character of land which by action of the water so permanently remaining upon It, when it reaches Its high water mark, would be deprived of its usefulness as land, and beegme sim ply what we all kr-rv to be the bed of a river?" was answered by the trial court In the case at bar, to the effect that thetract was so deprived of its usefulness as land, and was a part of the bed of the river. There was no error in over-ruling the mo tion for a nonsuit; and we cannot say that the lower court abused its discretion In denying the application for a new trial. It is suggested by counsel for defendant that before plaintiff can recover on the warranty In Its deed, there must be an evic tion from the premises by the true owner, or the title must at least be brought In question by the true own er. This action, however, is based upon a contract set forth above, by which the parties stipulate as to the conditions upon which the defendant will make payment to plaintiff, and the latter asserts that these condi tions have been fulfilled. The pri mary question which was deter mined by the trial court, according to these stipulations, was the num ber of acres of land conveyed by de fendant to plaintiff. We think the complaint states a cause of action. It follows from hese considera tions that the Judgment of the lower court should be affirmed and it is ordered. Call for Bids Sale of Bonds.
