HUMPHREY
SENTENCE
TWO YEARS
Lawyers Show Grounds For
an Appeal.
Case Will be Carried Up on
Technical Grounds.

A NJ. Humphreys was sentenced to
two years imprisonment at the peniten-
tiary.
This is the result Of the case brought
against him by the state for larceny by
bailee, committed by selling and convert
ing to his own use the grain of f. T.
Hall.
Messrs. Hayden, Richardson and
Holmes presented motions to the court
that a new trial be granted and that
judgment be arrested. The grounds for
a new trial we're based upon various al.
legged errors of the court in the trial of
the case, instructing the jury and receiv'
ing the jurys verdict in the absence oI
either counsel for the defendant.
Grounds for the arrest of judgment
were.that the evidence did not consti-
tute sufficient proof to justify the verdict,
aud that the facts stated in the indict-
m snt did not constitute crime.
These motions were argued and over
ruled and the sentence pronounced, af
ter which the attorneys gave notice that
they would appeal the case.
Humphrey was released on $3.50 bonds
to await whatever action is taken by th'
supreme court.
His bondsmen are his father, W. J
Humphrey, ]. B. Ashby and John Nc.
Grow.
Mr.. Humphrey will go to Portland
this afternoon to resume his work there

,,I--To all whom this will concern, ana
that ia the hop producers of the state Oh
DRAGON. take notice from clippings sent
me- from Oregon, that the hop market
is very strong and that the dealers
finally admit that there is a shortage oil
hons. say from 10000 to 4OOOO oales.
They knew that last October, when they
offered the grower from 4 to cents per
In. the cost of production. The prices
at these figures we're held until tne
Gentlemen from California NJ. ii. burst,
Tepresenting a family Of large hop pro-
dncers. who made the Oregon hop
growers a proposition to form a pool oi
1000 bales and would advance the
grower 9 cents perlb. without recourse,
and ship 20 England and 60 with the
pool and do better Tor the grower tnen
the price offered them by the dealer
The BUYERS snuffed at the proposition
and said that 9 cents would DE all lhe
grower would get. -,
Immediately aft the poolwas formed
the hops advanced, 30 the growers VINO
were not in the pool got better prices
later on than they would have got, ex,
cept some few growers who consigned
| their crops TO commission
factor on the Burrongh, London,
where they we're sold at low figure. l
am clad to inform the growers in the
pool that their hops will bring conside'-
ABLY money than they were offered be-
fore the pool was formed. | sincerely
hope that they will continue their good
work and keep out OF the clutches OF
shorts, who cell or contract their crops
before the frost is out OF the coil regard
less OF good or bad crops or market pros
poets. | am very sorry to hear that a
large number Of growers still continue
contracting their crops for but very
little above the cost of production and
thus allow the dealers large profits on
their labor and investments. / am
pleased to inform the members in the
hop pool that we proceed nicely in dis
posing of the hops, and will realize for
the growers FROM 10 TO II CENTS
PER LIB NET WHICH are good prices
considering the large crop grown here in
England last season. | really believe
that there are good prospects for fair
prices for the coming crop, but am very
sorry 10 zee the growers contract their
crop at low prices which will fix the
prices for their crops aud their neighbors.

MARION
COUNTY
DEMOCRATS
Central Committee Meets at
Salem Saturday to Plan
Campaign.

The Marion County Democratic Cen
tral Committee will meet in this city
Saturday, in answer to the call Issued
by County Chairman w. S. Mott. The
following is complete text Of the letter
sent out by Chairman Mott several days
sgo to each member OF the County
Central Committee.
"Once more it becomes my duty to
call the members Of our County Central
Committee together to discuss ways,
means and plans for the approaching
campaign. We have designated satur-
day, February 22, 1902, at l o'clock p.
M. as :he date, in the Holman Hall,
corner of State and Liberty streets.
"The day, il seems to me, is especially
appropriate at this time, inasmuch as
we are now more than ever called upon
TO defend the constitution and declara-
tion of those fundamental principles
promulgated by the father Of his country
at the birth Of our Republic. Let ne
buckle on the armor in defense Of those
principles inaugurated by our fore
fathers, and enunciated in the Declara-
tion OF our Independence, and oppose all
digressions thereirom as advocated by
the party of trusts, subjugation and i'm
perialism."
The Secretary OF the Central Commit
tee, Mr.. o. West, having removed
from Marion county, tho work of carry.
ing on correspondence, bringing the
members OF the committee together,
and the details concerning thorough
and complete organization falls entirely
upon Chairman Mott until a successor
10 Mr.. West can beappointed He has,
however, pulled of his coat and set to
work in dead earnest, as though he con.
sidered himself equal to any ard all
emergencies, and with an enthusiasm
which indicates that there is stl good
deal OF life in Marion County Democra.
cy.
A talk with leading Democrats OF this
city conyinces one that the question of
fusion will not even be brought forward
in the county convention, or out Of it,,
for hat matter. II lie the idea TO effect
through organization, and put up a
ticket composed Of men who have rec
ords i-r honesty and integrty-men
whose public or private lives will need
no apology. Democrats generally are
favorable 10 the nomination ON the
county and state ticket, OF good men
who have heretofore been identified
with the Populist or Silver Republican
factions. as both OF these organizations
have always been considered as closely
allied with the Democracy. But there
will be only one head TO the ticket, and
that head will be democratic" ," as it is
stated that the three.headed ticket of
the past has led to confusion and
decentralization, and proved a source Of
annoyance all around, The platform
adopted for the coming campaign will
be as broad aud iar-Ieaehing as is pos
sible to make it, and owing TO the
iactional strife among the Republicans,
many Democrats feel quite confident Of
landing some OF their candidates in good
places when the erection comes of in
June.

PRESIDENT
COLEMAN
ARRIVES
To Take Presidency of
Willamette
Gets a Hearty Welcome and
Makes His Bow at Salem
Searchlight Turned on Him
and Makes a Favorable I'm
preston.

When President Coleman alighted from
the 40 overland train the station was
in darkness and he was greeted only by
Gen. w. II. Odell, chairman of the board
Of trustees. A strong search light was
then thrown on these two figures and
the students gave the college yell
"Rah Rah ! ! Rah -
Zip boom bah
Old Willamette,
Hal Hal Hall"
The light was then thrown upon the
students, whom Mr.. Coleman thanked
for the display Of lung power and the
hearty reception rendered him.
The chapel bell OF the old college rang
the signal of his arrival as if the building
we're on fire.
DR.. Coleman was escorted to the resi-
dence of the vice-president, w. @, Haw'
lew. The student body then assembled
in the chapel and by unanimous voice
extended greetings to President Coleman
and assured MIN Of their hearty supporl
and ca. o.opearation. They expressed to tn,
outgoing president and the faculty theil
appreciation Of the sacrifice and endeav.
ors they have made for the school and
pledged themselves to do their share in
the upbuilding of the school.
The address was read at the chape
services, where an enthusiastic meeting
was held, and DIR. Coleman was for
mally welcomed by the trustees, faculty
students and many citizens Of Salem. Al
felt that the advent OF the new presiden
marked the opening of new. and pros
porous era for this pioneer educationa
institution of the Northwest. Brie
talks we're made by various members o
faculty and then the new head Of tn,
institution was called upon to speak.
He began by saying that il he did no
succeed in building up Willamette Uni
versity it would not be because he haC
not received a proper vel
come. lie said: 1.-THE creates
thing about the West ia THE CONFL
DENCE THE PEOPLE HAVE IN

thusiasm shown by the friends OF viii.
lamette university, see that the great
est thing about it is their confidence il
It's future. IL has been said that peopl,
receive pay for their work on earth, bu
their reward in heaven; from what
have heard Of Willamette, however,
guess that the faculty may have to wai
until they reach heaven for both thei
pay and their reward. The trustees o
the university tell me that the debt il
soon to be lifted from Willamette"
College yells and songs were then in
dulged IN by the students who were
given a half holiday in honor OF the ar
rival Of the new president.
President Coleman at once iavorably
impressed all present. Iuappearance h'
is genial and pleasant Yet more no
ticeabe is his air Of sternness combined
with firm expression which is habit
