THE COUNTY COURT.

In the county court yesterday Judge
Gray broke the record by issuing pa
pers of full citizenship to thirty-elght
persons of foreign birth, some Of whom
had held their declaration or first pa
pers for twelve or fifteen years.
The method of procedure in the coun-
ty court is to first secure two good, re-
spectacle citizens as witnesses, who
each, on oath, answer the following
questions, or similar ones, propounded
by the court:
Question-How long have you known
Mr. Blank?
Answer-since 1890 Tor over FIVE
years)
Q.-Has he ever been arrested or con-
victed of any crime?
A.-No, sir; or not that know of.
Q.-Has he ever been engaged in
rioting or melting trouble?
A.-No sir; not that l know of.
Q.-Do you believe that he is friend
ly and win uphold the constitution and
laws of this county?
Al do.
Q.-Do you believe he will make
good citizen?
Al do.
If satisfied with the answers. the
judge then usually asks the applicant
the following:
Q,-when did you come to the United
States?
A.-(Date of arrival9
Q.-How long have you lived in Ore
gon?
A.-Uength of time, which must be
over one year)
Q,-What are your duties as an
American citizen?
A.-To uphold the laws of this coun-
try, and to assist the officers in the
discharge of their duty when called
upon. CThis answer was given quite
by some of the applicants
yesterday, but many of them had to
be instructed by the court)
Thereupon the county clerk adminis-
ters to the applicant the following
oath;
Il will support the constitution Of
The United States and l do hereby alb
'olutely renounce and abjure all allie
sianc and fidelity to every prince, po-
-entate, state or sovereignty whatso- |

will say that l think It hits the
RIGHT nail on the head. To my mind
the astonishing thing connected with
the entire matter Is that some such
action and expression of opinion have
not long ago been had.
What has always struck me IN this
town. In connection with It's newspa-
pcrs. Is what should term the abuses
uf the freedom of the press. While NO
sane person can but acknowledge the
benefit derived from freedom of speech
and the press. II seems to me that the
abuses of the same have done much to
hold back the growth and develop
mcnt of this section OF the country;
,tnd insomuch as the expression OF
paper represents To II certain extent
the voice and sentiment OF the people.
| sincerely trust that the general SEN
timcnts ventilated ON this subject and
the Wholesale system recently exhlb-
tied Of crtIcising the actions not only
Of MIR. Hammond but OF the stranger
within our door and our citizens at
large, viii become a thing Of the past.
and that We shall soon he able to look
back upon II as the mistakes of our
younger pioneer days, and not as the
expression of vindictivc bubbles and
personal jcaluusics.

AN IMPORTANT
LEGAL DECISION
Millions Of Dollars Worth Of Prop
erty in San Francisco
Involved.
THE CELEBRATED NOE CASE
Judge Sanderson Decides In Favor Of
One Thousand Innocent Purchasers
Mexican Law Did Not Pass
Title to the Wifes Heirs.

San Francisco. Sept. s.--Judge San
derson rendered his decision this
morning in the famous Noe case, order
ing judgment for defendants. who are
the present owners Of the San Miguel
ranch. which consists Of 1000 acres OF
land in Mission and the southwestern
portion Of the city. and is the property
in controversy.
The plaintiffs. Miguel, Vincente and
Catalina Noe, and Catalina Splivalo.
heirs at law Of Gaudaloupe Gardenia
Noe. wife Of Jose de Jesus Noe. claimed
title to one-half Of the property and
brought suit to set aside the sale Of
the same to over 1000 persons, among
whom II had been distributed.
The points raised by the plaintiffs
were that as the land was virtually
purchased by Noe from the Mexican
government. 1t was community prop
erty and one-half was passed to his
wife's heirs under the Mexican law in
force at the time OF her death in 1s4s.
Judge Sanderson. however. holds that
the lands granted to married men un-
der the colonization laws Of Mexico
became their separate property and as
this tract was given outright to Noe
in 1876 by the Mexican government,
his wife's heirs have no rightful claim
in the premises.
Noe realized $4,000 from the sale Of
half of the tract in 1854. but today It
is covered by Improvements and is
worth upwards of s5O.OOO,OOO.
