AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The case Of zoeth Ho1ss-. respondent
vs.. Umatilla county. appellant, recently
decided by tn oregon Supreme Court, is
one that has attracted considerable at
tes.tioa, throAghou; the state especially
among county cfioials, and deserves
more than passing notice.
Zoeth Houser is sheriff Of Umatilla
county, and in tn performance Of his
duties as sheriff within his couaty had
incurred sxpe2ses for railway fares, IN-
cry hire and ho-el bills amounting 10
S35.75. for which he filed a claim in the
county court The county court refused
TO allow the claim, and Mr.. Houser there
upon took the matter to the circuit court
on review. whers it was duly considered
and remandel to the county court. with
directions 10 allow the claim. The county
court appeal j TO The supreme court,
with the result that the judgment Of the
circuit court was reversed and the writ
dismissed. The option, which was writ
ten by Chief Justice T A. Moore. is
very clear and logical II discusses tn
law under the Zee system" and under
the present salary system" AID con-
cludes that however great a hardship
the law may work. th-re can be no doubt
as to TIE intention Of the legislature that
the salary shall take th7 place Of all
fees This, Of course, applies only TO
services Of The sheriff within his own
county; outside Of his county h Il en-
;!tlci to the fees allowed by law.
1t was argued by counsel for ths sheriff
that II ne is required to pay his own
expenses without reimbursement from
tn. county, it would take his entire
salary and perhaps leave him in debt
On account Of his office. In this point
Of view the opinion says that the official
takes his office with full knowledge Of
what his remuneration is to be. and If
it is impossible for an officer TO perform
his duties for th= amount allowed. mis-
remedy is 70 apply to the legislature
for an increase in his salary. The prov
ince Of the court is to interpret the law,
not TO make 1t.
The same Interpretation Of the statute
Of 1898 is held TO apply to other county
officers
In the case Of C. W. Brownsfeld VS..
Zoeth Houser ct al. the supreme court
makes some suggestions that the various
county courts would do well to observe,
and, perhaps. avoid this costly litigation.
This was suit brought 10 enjoin the pay
ment Of certain amounts claimed by
zoeth Houser as sheriff. which amounts
the county court proposed TO allow.
Among the suggestions in th- opinion
Is one that the county court should re-

Our old veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic, who helped preserve and perpetuate our flag and our Union, have voted to march to the tune of Yankee Doodle on the 9th of July. They have not participated for many years past, but the year 1897 seems to show a marked revival of the patriotis spirit of 1776 and 1861.
 The battalion of the Second regiment, comprising the New Haven companies, has voted to parade on the 5th day of July, 1897. It has been many years since it has participated before. The Naval Veterans will join the army of patriots. Many societies have arranged floats and decorated wagons for the occasion. The Patriotic Sons of Amer ica will do themselves proud on that occasion. Several of the ladies' organ izations will pick lint if necessary and join their brothers in this our greatest day of celebration.
 And now for the press of the city which has done so much, and done it so well, to aid our celebration. The general committee hopes the last week previous to July the peoples tribunes will so boom our celebration that its success will be doubly assured.

SArURDAY'S BASEBALH.

Yale Defeated by Princeton by the Score 22-S-LooaI Games and Those on Other Diamonds.
 Twenty-two to eight was the score by which the Tiger baseball team doWned the sons of Eli on the diamond at Man hattan field in New York Saturday. By doing this Princeton wins the intercol- legiate baseball championship. The game drew large crowd and when shortly after ? o'clock the game began the grand stand and a great portion of the bleachers were packed with an en- thusiastic banner waving throng of spectators. Everywhere were waving seas of organ and black and blue.
 Yale took the field in the opening of the game and Fearey was stationed In the box On his first delivery Bradley, who was at the bat soaked the sphere out to right field, where Wallace pulled it in for the first out. Prince- ton scored four runs in this inning, however. Yale followed up in her half With two scores. Jayne was in the box | for Princeton. After the first inning every thing went Princeton's way and the orange and black waved enthusias- | tically on all sides. Hecker relieved | Fearey in the box in the fifth inning, and his work was an improvement over that of Fearey, but it was too late to be of avail.
 Princeton scored in every inning ex- cept the last two, making seven runs in the third and six in the fifth inning.
