The circuit court of appeals has At
frmed Judge Amidon of the United
States district court IN the case of the
administrators Of the Erskine estate
against Steele county. Years ago.
when Steele county was organized, the
commissioners issued q warrant in pay
ment for transcribing the records for
the new county. The warrant was
purchased by NJ. b. Erskine, banker.
Later the payment was contested
Suit was brought in the state district
court to compel the payment, and the
deciaion was against the county. On
an appeal to the state supreme court
the county won, the findings Of the
court being that the records had no
validity as notice and the commits
sioners were unauthorized to make a
contract for the transcribing. In 1894
the legislature enacted . measure maxi
ing all transcribed records of equal va
lidity. On this, suit was brought by
the administrators of the Erskine es-
tate in the United States court. They
won, and on the county's appeal to
the circuit court of appeals the de-
cision Of Judge Amidon was held to be
good law, and Steele county will have
to dig up, with interest for II years.

wM Boycott.

The knights Of the grip in this state
threaten to strike. This time it is not
against a cruel taskmaster nor for an
increase in wages, but against the
landlords in the smaller towns of the
state. In many of the smaller places
the hotels are not exactly what Del
monico's place was once. The travling
men have reached the limit of forbear-
ance, and declare that an improvement
in the bill of fare and the service must
be evident, or a boycott will be inau-
gurated in the towns whose bonifaces
are considered the greatest offenders.
There are a number of the objection
able list.
The plan is to pass up the regular
hotels and make arrangements with
some Of the better class boarding houses
or private houses at which all the trav-
cling men will stop.

A WARM WELCOME.
Reception Given the Oregon VOlun-
teers from Manila While on
Parade in San Francisco.

San Francisco, July Is. - Not since
the departure of the regiment of Cal
ifornia volunteers for the Philippines
have the streets of San Francisco pre-
scented such a scene of animation as
they did Friday, nor have steam
whistles, cannon and bells created
such a rumpus. The cause of the
demonstration was the landing of the
Oregon volunteers and the California
signal corps, preparatory to going into
camp at the Preside and the final mus
tering out.
All along the line of march the men
were cheered to the echo and bands
hired by individuals played lively music.
AS the soldiers passed the Palace hotel
they were deluged with flowers thrown
from the windows by the guests. AT the
junction of Third, Market and Kearney
streets the crowds were immense and
the three morning papers which have
offices on the corners of these streets
We'd with each other to see which could
make the most noise. A curious sight
was the long streamers of immense fire
crackers which dangled from the roof
of a high building. AS the soldiers
neared this point the crackers were
lighted and the racket they made was
awful.
Gen. Shafter and his staff and Gov.
Geer, of Oregon, and his staff and many
notable army officers reviewed the pa
rade as it passed up Van Ness avenue
toward the Preside. AS the men
passed the reviewing stand they
cheered continually.
When the Preside was reached the
men were given rest and then COM
menced the work of going into camp.
Here they will rest under military dis
cipline for two or three weeks. Then
the final muster out will take place and
they will be sent to their northern
homes bV train

At the general session Friday the pa

Alfred E. Winship, of Boston, and Prof.
