ing Liability of Landlord for
Damage to Tenant.

Decision of Lower Court in Case Of
Blare VS. Kneeland is
Affirmed.

In the case OF E. w. Kneeland, re-
spondent, VS.. Thomas Beare, appellant,
the supreme court hands down de-
cision affirming the lower court. The
plaintiff brought this action to recover
damages for a partial destruction of
certain househld goods, which he
claims was occasioned by defendants S
negligence. The damage for which
compensation is sought occurred on
September 27, 1899. during a heavy
rain storm, and was caused by water
flowing through a hatchway in the
roof of the Phillips block. The syl-
labus of the decision is as follows:
Where portions of tenement build
ing are let to tenants and the landlord
retains the exclusive possession and
control of other portions, he is bound
to exercise common care and prudence
in the management and oversight of
the portion of the building retained,
and If damages are sustained by a ten
ant, Dy reason ot his failure to do SO.
the landlord is liable therefor. ~
1t is Held, in an action for damages
by a tenant against his landlord and
upon a review of the entire case in this
court, that the trial court properly
found that defendant was negli-
gent in caring for the portion of the
rented building which was under his
control and that the damages sustained
by the plaintiff were properly assessed
by the trial court. -f 70

Frank stockton nnd Poet,v.


Frank Stockton never could write a
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told good sto-
ry on himself. In his youth In con-
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems with which he af-
licted the editors Of various Canadian
periodicals. The effusions always
came back. The editor of one maya
zine was an especial target of the
Stocktons, but as none Of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception Of good poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode, little
known, by Milton. Within two days
they received a check and a letter Of
thanks. Il came to the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw

THE LATE COL, DOMAIN.

Portland, Oregonian, Sunday, June
l.: Colonel Peter Donan, better known
as 'Pat" Donan, newspaper writer,
southern soldier, railroad boomer. who
made three fortunes and lost them
again, and who recently had position
with the o. R. & N. as advertising
agent, died at 4:3O o'clock yesterday
morning at his home, 40 West Park
street, from pneumonia, after ten days
Illness. He left widow and one boy,
Everett st. John Donan, who is a year
old. Colonel Donan was, a southern
irreconcilable, and a brave fighter in
the confederate army, who argued
about the lost cause by voice and pen
long after the armed conflict had
ceased. He was born at Natchez,
Miss, April 9. 1889, and his father was
a Presbyterian clergyman and gradu-
ate of Princeton College.
When the war broke out between the
north and south, Donan received his
commission as an officer in the confed-
crate army from the hands of Jeff
Davis himself. He was present at
most of the important battles, and was
severely wounded several times The
family to which he belonged was a
wealthy one in ante-bellum days, but
at the commencement of the recon-
sstruction period it had suffered finan-
cial reverses and the old southern
home was dismantled After a period
of foreign travel Colonel Donan en-
gagged in newspaper and literary work.
and in the course of his career he wrote
for papers in New York, Washington,
Philadelphia, Fargo. N. D., and on the
Pacific Coast. About 1887 he first
came to Oregon to boom land values
in the Astoria district, and made a
reputation as stump speaker in this
region. Then he returned east to fur
ther engage in newspaper work, and
returned to Oregon permanently in
1897. In November of that year he
marrid his wife, Miss Eleanor S.
Brown, of Pocotello, Idaho, and re-
sumed his railroad work. Once To-
Gated in Portland, he made a great
number of friends who were warmly,
attached to him for his many endear-
ing qualities of kindness of heart and
good fellowship. ~

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, June 9.-Notwithstand-
ing firm cables this morning, wheat
opened heavy. There was no import
ant news to seemingly warrant this
weakness. yet efforts TO rally the mar
ket proved futile. For some time
there has been sad need of outside sup
port, and at three quarters concessions.
shorts were more inclined to increase
their lines than show disposition to
cover. Receipts are still considerably
below those of a year ago, but show
some improvement. The visible shows
another decrease of two and a half mil
lions. Clearances. including flour
liberal at $4,000 bushels. The weather
map shows very fine weather in har-
vesting district which is the most i'm
portant feature. Somehow the trade
cannot get the idea out of their heads
but what July wheat can and will be
bought at or close to zoe. Gu" iudg-
ment continues to favor the long side
on the market, and pick it up quite
freely on these cent setbacks.
Corn was depressed around the open
ing on soft cables and receipts of 413

small at $4,000. Corn shipments this
week 6,SO0oOO bushels against 3,667,-
600 last week and 6,135.0oo last year.
When prices are compared this is
quite a bull argument.

CLEWs' WEEKLY LETTER.

New York, June 9.-The most i'm
portant event in many weeks was the
declaration of peace in South Africa
Its immediate effect seems to have been
fully discounted. but eventually a wider
and more lasting effect will be pro-
duced. Britain is relieved from
most depressing and wasteful strain.
British energy and capital are now
sure to display a revival that will have
worldwide influence At first this
energy will be chiefly directed to Afri-8
can mines and local development,
which will make some demands upon
the United States for machinery and
food products. Later on British ac-
tivity may overflow into the United
States; and, if not, this country will
certainly benefit through cessation of
the war, which. in these days of inter
influence beyond the countries imme-
diately Interested Now that this
waste is stopped the United States will
not be called upon to render the finan-
cial assistance further prolongation
of the war would have necessitated.
The Beers should feel happy at the
favorable peace conditions they have
secured; and Great Britain's magnan-
imous treatment of a fallen foe de-
serves generous recognition. No war
indemnity has been imposed upon the
Beers, the cost of which Great Britain
assumes. Indeed, the British govern
ment offers sheer gift of 81 100000 to
re-establish the Beers in their homes.
and in additinn to this will make them
| loans free of interest for two years.
and afterward at per cent. Again.
| the Beers receive the very freedom as
to language in schools and courts
which they denied the English, so that
of fire upon the heads of the van
| quished.- Such a policy of generosity
ought to accomplish much in softening
the animosities engendered by the war.

to be stormy one; but if the same
spirit of liberality and fair dealing is
carried out the Beers can have little
fault to find with their conquerol.s.
They will soon make greater progress
and prosperity under British rule than
under their own. The Beers unfor-
tunately stood ixedly in the way of all
advancement. Their defeat permits
civilization to go forward, for wher-
ever the British flag floats there is
equal opportunity to all. regardless of
nationality The world admires the
valor with which the Beers fought for
their ideals, but it recognizes that
those ideals are inferior to those which
have supplanted them and which were
bound to gain ascendency in due time.

Grand Forks Herald: It was in, the
autumn of 1876. Grand Forks was
then frontier village of perhaps three
hundred population, and without any
immediate prospects of any material
increase in its inhabitants. The town
had a store, a saw mill and a few sa-
looms. Outside of these enterprises
the population entertained themselves
with fishing and sports of various kinds
during the season of navigation the
steamboats, enlivened the monotony of
the otherwise uneventful existence of
the town, but the immigration which
was expected to come in and fill up the
country around Grand Forks and make
business for the town failed to mater
ialize, or rather the homeseekers were
at that time, going right on beyond
these fertile lands to secure some of
the wilderness in the British possess
sions to the north, which were then
being industriously doomed as an edo
RADIO. The town was at this time
stage station and had postohice with
a weekly mail, which enabled the popu-
lation to keep in touch with the out
side world to some extent. Rumors
began to come of gold being found in
the Black Hills. During the year
1874 General Custer had left Fort Alb
raham Lincoln with an expedition to
explore the hills and his men were soon
possessed Of the information that there
was considerable gold there. The fact
was speedily known far and wide This
section was then a part of the Sioux,
Indian reservation and the government
prohibited gold seekers from entering,
but was unable to keep out the horde
of fortune hunters who took possession
of the whole country and brought on
a war with the Sioux. The excitement
continued to spread and Grand Forks
was a victim of thefever During the
winter Of 1S75-76 a party was made up
for an expedition to the hills in quest
of gold. Among the number were
