II is told Of the duke Of Norfolk
that at his wedding, as the happy
couple knelt at the altar rails
perched on an extremely elevated
-dieu, the dukes boots were
about on a level with the eyes Of
the congregation. His grace had
very properly donned for the occa-
sion quite a new pair, with soles o.
dazzling whiteness; and it was said
that the market price-no very ex'
irayapant one--was distinctly to be
read on their shining surface -

CONTRACTING vETCH SEED
Portland Dealers Want Next Years
Crop-Iti is for Local Demand.

A late issue of the TIMES told of
a movement among Benton county
farmers ior sowing vetches this
fall, and related that the demand
for seed was far greater than the
supply. The effort of Portland
dealers to buy seed in the vicinity
of Corvallis, and to contract for
next years crop, was recited. It
is said that the demand, for the
present is entirely for home con-
sumption. In the past, vetch has
been in the main but an expert
ment. A few farmers have known
that for hay and other uses, it is
the best of all grasses for Western
Oregon, but farmers generally
were not aware of the fact. All
now however, are convinced of the
va1ue Of vetch, and the scramble
for seed is declared to be the source
of the present demand. Portland
dealers relate that in all parts of
Western Oregon they have calls
for the seed, almost regardless of
price, and that it is impossible to
supply the demand. So strong is
the cali, that dealers are offering
to contract for next years crop.
One Benton county farmer who.
is large producer of vetch, has
contracted mis- next years crop al
ready. The figure that he is to
receive is above two cents per
pound. Ifit is perfectly free from
other grains, the price is only
trife below two and a half cents.
Dealers say that it is probable
that it will take two years to sup
ply the local demand. Whether
or not they know, remains to be
seen. They also say that as soon
as the local demand is satisfied,
there will be a market East. Farm
ers back there are not using vetch.
In time they will discover its value.
They cannot, these dealers assert,
raise it for seed satisfactorily, be-
cause it will freeze out in the wint-
er. The consequent shipment of
seed East from the Willamette Val
ley is urged as a probability of
the future.

to testify understandingly with re-
gard thereto
To heighten the fraudulent
character of the transaction, the To-
Gator led his clients to believe that
the timber they were looking at
was the land on which they were to
file when they reached the Benton
county clerks Office, while as a
matter of fact they were then I2 to
IS miles on an air line from the
lands on which they actually filed,
and the latter land is practically
timber1ess. It is also true that the
timber that they looked at was all
taken long ago, some of it during
the summer and fall of last year,
and the last of it in the SHOWS of
last winter. The question of strik-
ing interest in the matter is, how
is it that a professional timber To-
Gator did not know that it was tax
en-, and why also, did he not take
them on to the land on which they
were to file?
It is no wonder that the govern
ment at Washington has discovered
that there are timber frauds, and
that an investigation has been or
dered.

THE PLAN NEW
Parents Meetings Instead of Local
Institutes.

A recent decision of the Oregon
attorney general holds that the
funds arising from fees for teach
|ers certificates, registration and
indorsing first grade county GER
tifcates, can only be used for hold
ing annual teachers institutes,
In the past the money has been
used for local county Institutes.
On account of the decision there is
now no fund to draw upon for
maintaining the latter, and a new
plan has been adopted by Super
intendent Denman.
A circular letter was recently
sent by him to all the oranges in
the county asking for their sup
port in carrying On work similar to
the local institutes. The plan is to
hold parents meetings instead of
the former local Institutes. The
meetings are to be held jointly with
the Oranges. The Oranges are to
devote the afternoon session to this
educational work. Discussions,
literary work and musical features
are to make up the programme.
The only expense will bethe printing
of the programmes.
So far, two of the Oranges
have responded, those of Corvallis
and Willamette, both Of which
agreed to the plan. The first of
the meetings is to be held at Will
1amette Grange Hall. Arrange
ments are already perfected, and an
interesting time is expected. It is
figured that both the Oranges and
and schools will be benefited by
the new arrangement.

AGAINST AKIN
A Benton County Case in the Supreme
Court-Mason Estate

The Oregon Supreme Court M on
day passed on case appealed
from Benton County. The case is
familiar one in which M B Dav-
isson and the United Brethren
Church have been in litigation with
J L Akin as executor of the esta-
te ofPeterW and Hannah R Mason.
The case was originally tried out in
the probate court of Benton where
Akin was sustained. 1t was there
after carried into the circuit court,
where the lower court was reversed
and a finding rendered for plaintiffs.
The decision in the supreme court
is an affirmation of the circuit court.
E R Bryson was attorney for plain
tiffs and Weatherford & Wyatt for
Akin.
At the time Akin was appointed
executor Of the Mason estate he
was indebted to Peter w Mason
on account of a promissory note
delivered to the latter during the
1atter's lifetime. Akin was in
solvent at the time of his appoint
ment and has ever since remained
so. In his, final account he did
not charge himself with the amount
of the note, and the respondents
asked that the amount of the note
be charged against him as executor
as though it were so much money
in his hands. The circuit court
charged Akin as demanded by
respondents, and Akin appealed.
The supreme court cites section
II17, of Hills code, which provides
that ''tfe naming any one executor
in will shall not operate to dis
charge such executor from any
c1afrn which the executor had
against him. and if the person
so named afterwards takes upon
himself the administration of the
estate, he shall be liable for sHeh
claim as for so much money in his
hands at the time the claim became
due and payable" /" 1t is held that
under this statute the insolvency of
the executor is immateria1 and that
On final settlement he is justly
charged with the debt as so much
cash in hand. GAS an executor
cannot sue himself, all resort to
legal process for the collection of a
debt due from him to the estate is
cut off by his assuming that Office.
Having voluntarily taken upon
himself the right and duty to de-
mand and receive, and the cores
duty of paying, it is but a
just and legal consequence of his
own act that his debt should be
conclusively presumed to have been
paid and discharged"
The debt of Akin to the es-
tate is about s., 400, and some at
torneys believe his bondsmen will
be liable for the amount.

Rained Missels on the Troops.
lBv the Associated Pregs.)

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. "a scene de-
nounced by by-standers as contemplate
and outrageous marked the return of
the soldiers of the Fourteenth Regiment
from the anthracite region today. While
passing down Fifth avenue they were
assailed with chunks of concrete, blocks
of wood as large as bricks, and even
TOOLS thrown from the Twenty first floor
of the new Farmers Deposit Bank
building, distance of 275 feet, by work
men.
The act was evidently premeditated,
for the workmen had collected enough
missiles to be able to keep UP the ass
sault the whole time the regiment was
passing That no one was seriously hurt
is remarkable.
When the soldiers realized that the
missiles were aimed at them, line was
quickly formed on the opposite pave
ment, an officer gave the command to
load; but the commanding officer coun-
fernandez the order and no shots were
fired.

The first number by Miss Sultphen was
from the purely classic school and was
PLAYED with fine expression and techni-
que The clearness and expression of
the second marked the pianist as one
of high gifts.
While every movement of the violinists
was very good. the singing quality of
the Andante was unusually fine. Miss
Ruggles is at her best in serious music
and the very soul of her violin speaks
through her.
Much to the regret of all Miss Duncan
could not appear on account of in6is-
position from sever cold; but Mrs. Kean
did double duty by singing in her
inir.itable way, Love is a Bubble,
This was well received, as were the other
songs. assigned to her on the program.
Her In Autumn" was given with a
pathos and sympathy that will be re-
membered by every one present. The
aceompl shed vocalist well sustained her
reputation in Raleigh.
The touch of the director Mr.. Brawley'
was exceedingly rare, the Beethoven
number being especially well inter-
preted. The Guitave, which is SO tricky
in rhythm, was very captivating, and
the last study showed particularly bril-
liant execution.
The entire program reflected credit
upon those who carried it out and was
an honor to Peace Institute.
DR.. Dinwiddie is to be congratulated
upon the fine talents he has brought TO
his school and to the city of Raleigh.
