Besides being the capital of tne stnte, she can boast of being a city of beautiful homes, paved streets, an educational renter nnd more lodgo membership in proportion to its sire thnn any city in the stale. With its 25 miles of paved streets, the percent of surfnee pavement per thnusanri is l.ftl Portland's per cent is 1.28 a thousand. Hnlera ranks easily ns the best paved city in the state, with a per crntnge of f lavement pompared tn its population nrger thnn any of tho big cities in the country. E raw OF BY SUPREME COURT Supreme Court Also Passes Upon Status of Widow As An Unmarried Female The supreme court today modified the decision of Judgo J. W. Hamilton in the case of tho state against Howard M. Brownell, appealed from Lane coun ty. Brownell is a son of George C. Brownell and is a practicing attorney in Eugene. It was charged that ho persuaded Mrs. Destn Carter and her two daughters to leave this state and go tf Seattle so that they would not be obliged to testify against their hus band and father who was churged with I a statutory crime alleged to have been committed upon tuo person of 0110 or the daughters. Brownell entered s plea of guilty in the circuit court to a charge of con tempt of court and was sentenced to serve three months in jail and to pay a fine of $'.'50. Tho supremo court held j that the contempt ehnrgo was undor tho provision that the fine bo not over $100 and that Brownell be confined to tho county jail until ho had paid the fine but in 110 caso was tho juil term to be inoro thnn 50 days. Justice Ben son wrote the opinion. The stntus of a widow ns "an un married female" was settled by the supreme court today in favor of the I widow. That is the supremo court held that even though the woman bo the j mother of several children and divorced j from her husbnnd it did not follow that Mie was sufficiently experienced in the ways of men to mako her immune to their wiles and that she should be ac corded the protection of tho law. It appears that tho widow in question brought charges of seduction against Charles L. Wallace in Lane county and the case wns tried beforo Judgo Hamil ton where Wallace was convicted and sentenced and then appealod to tho supreme court. The decision of Justice Benson was not on the principal con tentions of the status of the widow but upon the introduction of some letters as evidence of Wallace's promiso of marriage and the , lower court was re versed and the ease remanded. Twins, a boy and a girl, were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ford J. Boyd, Twenty third nnd Mill streets, Sunday morn ing. They died about au hour after birth. State Labor Commissioner O. P.

Beam Scale $27.50 Westacott-Thielson Company 150 North High Street I The Supreme Court Decides Against Insurance Company Decision Modified The supreme court today upheld the rulings of Judge Kelly, of the Marion county circuit court iu the case of E. M. Kimball, plaintiff nnd respondent, against the Horticultural Fire Reli of Oregon nnd the Pacific Homo tunl Fire Insurance company, defendant and appellant. This action w.is com-! menced in December, 1913, to recover tiie amount of an insurance policy by reason of the loss of quantities of grain, flour and other cereals and sup plies by fire when Mr. Kimball's mill at Jordan -was burned in 1911. The fire comp.inv claimed that the policy wns invalidated because Mr. Kimball did not begin the action within 12 months of the fire loss and ho intro duced certain letters in which it was shown that the parties were carrying on negotiations which was tho reason for the delay in the suit. The case was tried in the circuit court before Judge Kelly and resulted in a verdict for Mr. Kimball, giving him a judgment against the company. Since the uction was started, however, "ee"n rtued ovir to' ! t ne companies have a receiver and now Mr. Kimball simply becomes another of the creditors of the company of which there is a consider able number. John Biiyne represent ed the plaintiff and William H. Trin dle the defendants. An appeal from tho decision 01 Judge William Galloway in the circuit court of Linn county 111 tne case or a. Jakel, plaintiff and respondent, against F. W. Seeck and H. J. Seeck, defen dants and oppeallants, resulted in a reversal of the lower court in au opin ion written by Justice Benson. This case involves a real estate transaction in Lebanon and is a suit to reform a deed and to restrain the enforcement of a judgment. It appears that the defendants were the owners to two pieces of property upon one of which a the 10KI teed business was conducted and on other a livcrv business nnd they sol one to Jakel with the agreement in the deed that one party was to refrain from entering into the feed business and the other from entering into the livery business. Jakel, who is an illiterate person and can not read F.ng lish, agreed to the papers but that the forfeiture cliiuse was kept out of the agreement of the defendants. They afterward sold to another person who entered into business tn competition with Jnkel and tho suit followed which resulted in a verdict for Jakel in the circuit court. i In reviewing the evidence which Justice Benson says is hopelessly con flicting it appears that Jakel under stood the transaction and that there is no evidence of fraud. The Portland slaughter house ordin ance case which was heard before Judge W. X. Gutens, in Multnomah county circuit court, was modified by nn opinion of Justice Bean. This ord inance provided that only federal in spected ments nnd those offered by persons who killed only five nnimnls a week or less could be sold in Port land unless tiie slnughter house were located outside of the milo limit from the city limits. A number of tho meat companies who do not have federal in spection and who kill more than five animals a week objected to the ordin ance on the grounds that it discrimin ated against thein. The case came up before Judge Gatens who sustained a demurrer to the complaint on tho ground that the facts stated eutitlcd the plaintiffs to no relief. The plain tiffs refused to plead further and a decree was rendered dismissing the complaint from which tho meat com-l-juiies appehnled. Justice Benu ruled that the eity could ud.iust the matter Vy appropriate or.linaiicec and that the present ordin ance appeared to be a discrimination and the lower court decree was modi fied.
