OLD LUMBER
WAS SOLD
Superintendent Riggs Makes a Report
on the Repairs to the Willamette
River Brldge--Small Balance.

$. A. Riggs, Of this city. who super
intended the work Of repairing the vii.
lamette river steel bridge at Salem
some few weeks since. has made a re.
port that will be submitted TO the com.
missloners' courts of Marion and Polk
counties and the Salem city council.
showing what was done with the re
fuse materials and unused lumber. The
report shows that Mr.. Riggs selected
for use In the repair of the bridge
about COO feet of good lumber from
that taken from the structure, this
one item saving the interested oorpor.
ations several dollars. Tho balance OF
the pilings and timber that were taken
from the bridge were sold for fuel and
other purposes. and netted the taxpay-
ers a total of $222. OF that amount
Mr. Riggs expended S2O9 for labor aud
materials In repairing the sidewalk
over the bridge for pedestrians. and
made other repairs on the east ap.
proach, work that was not included In
the contract for the repair OF the struc.
ture. The balance OF Sl3 will be
turned over 10 the counties, and since
II belongs equally 10 Marion and Polk
counties and the city of Salem, dis,
bursement of the amount will probably
be had soon The bill OF MIR Riggs.

DELIVEY
OF HOPS
NOT FINAL
Salem Legal Light Ventures
An Opinion on Contract
Recent Decision Further Dis
cuSSed by Hop Fraternity

In discussing the recent decision of
the circuit court as affecting certain
hop contracts, a Salem attorney today
stated that, in his opinion the delivery
Of hops by the grower to the dealer un-
der such q contract as the one passed
on by the Marion county court Is by
no means conclusive. He bases his
opinion on the principle that If the
contract be void then the grower can
recover the increased value of his pro
duct as between the price stipulated
in the contract and the prevailing mar.
ket price. The question is open to ar.
gument, but IL is generally the belief
that when a man knowingly places his
signature to a contract embodying the
terms and conditions that were con.
tanned in the Backhaus contract, upon
which the court based its opinion, then
he should be made to live up to the
agreement for the lesson that would be
taught him.
But. as has been stated before, the
effect of the ruling of the court will
not be as general as was at first sup
posed for the reason that It is learned
that there are in effect but a very linn.
tied number of contracts, such as
Backhaus employed, and for that rea-
son only a few transactions will be af.
fected, since other contracts in use
here are equally binding on both par
ties, and can be enforced.
Some dealers complained yesterday
that the newspapers did not make II
plain on referring to the form and style
Of contracts that are employed here.
The item stated that the contract of
Lilienthal Bros. had been tested legal.
ly, and was found TO be enforceable on
both parties From inquiry It Is
learned that a number OF the other To-
cal hop merchants have an equally
strong form of agreement, that is en-.
tirely lacking in unfair and one-sided
conditions. II Is not the purpose of
this paper to have the reader infer
that, with the exception of the Lilien.
thai contract, all other forms of agree,
ment used in the hop circles here are
modelled after the Bachaus compact.
There are only few Of the contracts
that will be disturbed by the decision
Of the court but the result will be that
in the future dealers will see to It that
all features that may contribute to a
unilateral condition will be eliminated

OREGON'S
PROMISING
FUTURE
J. A. Baker Has Great Faith
In the WebfOOt State
Has Just Visited California
and British Columbia

THE Northwest is all right, as sure
as you are born" was the decisive way
in which J. A. Baker passed his judg.
ment on this section OF the country
this morning, when seen by Journal
reporter Mr.. Baker has just returned
from a visit of about three weeks In
California, and at points in British Co
lumbla. He was a former sheriff OF
this county and one Of the best the
county ever had, and at present one of
the substantial business men of this
city He Is a man Of wide experience
and observation and, for that reason,
the opinions he has formed from what
he has seen are of unusual interest.
Mr.. Baker says that from a 90 years
residence In this city, he may be
somewhat prejudiced in favor of Sa-
lem. but in his recent trip he saw
nothing that would induce him to
make a change Of location. He says
to all appearances Salem is doing as
much business of all kinds as is any
other town of it's size on the coast.
Conditions in California are reported
very prosperous, but the country was
very dry until about week ago. when
needed rain fell.
Mr. Baker says he believes Vancouv.
er, u. c.. is the coming city of i'm.
portance In the Northwest, and that
It's population will double before any
other city in the same territory. The
returned Salemite also has great faith
in Portland, and it's commercial inter
ests. He says the growth Of Portland
Is large, and, while IL will not be as
rapid as that of Vancouver, still II will
exceed greatly that Of Seattle and 9th.
or Sound points. The claim has been
frequently advanced In the interest of
Portland that produce OF all kinds al.
ways seeks the cheapest outlet to a
market, and In this respect Mr.. Baker
says Portland has a distinct advantage
over Seattle. for products OF all kinds
can be brought 10 the Columbia river
by rail or steamer much cheaper than
by rail over the mountains to Seattle.
Trade relations with the Orient will
result in large and permanent growth
Of Portland, which with Vancouver. B.
c., Mr. Baker predicts, will be the two
cities Of the Pacific Northwest, second
only In importance on the Pacific coast
To- San Francisco.

STRICT ORDERS TO MERRITT.
Macarthur Said He Was Not to Com.
NIT Our Government.

IHIA WI
Washington, May 2.-Major General
Macarthur yesterday continued his
testimony before the senate commit
tee on the Philippines. It was in
part:
Answering question by Senator
Culberson, the general said that
Aguinaldo ana the Filipino people
were justified in concluding that the
actions of the United States army
were sympathetic. The Filipinos, he
said, were in resentful and vindic
tive opposition to Spain, and any ac-
tive force ON their part against Spain
naturally helped the United States.
and vice versa; but he said there was
distinct purpose throughout the in
tercourse between Americans and
Filipinos to repudiate the idea of d.
rect cooperation which in any way
committed the United States to a
policy.
General Merritt, he said, was I'M
der the stricteSt. orders not to COM
NIT the government, but Aguinaldo
was anxious to make an artificial rec
ord which would oblige General Mer-
rit. to do something he did not wish
to do. "The Filipino" said General
Macarthur, has quite comprehen-
sive knowledge of Latin diplomacy"
Aguinaldo was landed at Manila
aboard an American warship because
he was a useful individual who could
be employed in a manner that would
contribute to American success.
