transport all exhibits, including
live stock to and from the Oregon
state fair free Of charge. Exhi-
bitors should ship direct to the

Halsey was almost entirely de-
stroyed Thursday evening by the
largest and most destructive fire in
the history of Linn County. Almost
the whole business portion Of the
town was desolated, only two bust
ness houses remaining. One private
dwelling was consumed. Scarcely
any Of the goods were saved from
any of the buildings. One man
was slightly injured. The Albany
fire department and volunteers
went to the scene of the confagra-
tion and did efficient work. The
total loss was about $4,000, only
part of which was covered by in
surance. The fire was discovered
at $50 p. m. The cause is not
known, but was first seen in the
roof of the creamery in thenorthern

GREAT FAIR PROMISED
Exhibit This Year Will Be a Record
Breaker.


No time in the history Of the
Oregon state fair has there been
such a good feeling among the
agricultural classes toward the sue
cess of the fair as exists at the
present time. Every section Of
the state seems to be taking an
interest in the fair and promises to
give it their hearty support. East
ern Oregon for the first time has
promised one or two county ex-
hibits, consisting of agricultural
products, while the southern por-
ton of the state will also be repre-
sented by comprehensive exhibit
of its agricultural products. Live
stock from all over the state is be-
ing prepared for this years fair.
There are reasons for this
awakening of the people to the
support of the fair. One is, the
management has worked hard and
faithfully to make the fair as broad
as the state itself. The transpor-
tation companies have come to
their assistance and made very
liberal rates on hauling exhibits
of all kinds. Another is, the peo-
pie are beginning to realize that it
is time to let the outside world
know of the wonderful resources of
our state, and believe that the state
fair is the proper place to meet the
better class of homeseekers. This
will make the fair doubly valuable.
II will give those who are looking
for homes on the Pacific coast an
opportunity to see in body what
our state can produce, and where
it is produced, without travelling
all over the state.at great expense.
1t will also give the exhibitor the
best possible opportunity of show
ing his products, whether it be
grains, grasses, fruits, vegetables or
live stock.

that it stands without a question,

A good way if you have only a few
fowls is for two or three neighbors
to ship together, but, in that case,
always notify the superintendent
least two days before shipment that
you intend doing this, designating
what fowls are yours. 1t will also
be matter Of great convenience to

in FAVOR OF GROWER
Dealer Fails to Recover Possession of
Hop Crop.


The purchaser Of hops under an
executory contract cannot recover
possession thereof by replevin as
long as anything remains to be
done 70 pass title. A hop mortgage
to secure fulfillment Of contract Of
sale does not entitle the mortgagee
to possession Of the hops until he
has reduced his claim to liquidatr
damages
This is the substance of a de-
cision rendered by the Supreme
Court in the case Of A. F. Back
haus, appellant, VS., F. w. Buells,
J. M. Wolford ct al, respondents,
appeal from Marion county. The
suit was brought before Judge
George H. Burnett, and was de-
cided in favor OF the defendants.
The Supreme Court affirms the
lower court in holding that
replevin does not lie to recover
hops under an executory contract,
such as was in general use prior to
1903. The court indicates its
opinion, however, that such con-
tracts should be enforced, and may
be if proceedings Of a propcrnature
are brought.
This was suit to recover
possession Of IA bales Of hops Of
the crop of 1902. Plaintiff claimed
the right to possession by virtue Of
contract which purported to be
sale, and also a mortgage to secure
advances made by the dealer to the
grower. The terms of the contract
left the purchaser to be the judge
of the quality of the hops, and it
was also agreed that the contract
should be mortgage to secure the
faithful performance OF the agree
ment. The defense was that Ihr
contract was executnry, that the
plaintiff had refused to make the
advances as agreed, whereupon the
contract was rescinded by mutual
consent, and that defendant had
repaid the 81 advanced, with
interest. The judgment OF the
lower court was in favor OF Buells,
The seller Of the hops.
The opinion of the Supreme
Court says that the contract was
entered into in March, 1902, and
related to a crop of hops to be
grown that year, cleanly picked,
we'll dried. and put up in good
order, etc, and since
Buells was required to segregate
he hops and put them in condition
5or acceptance, the agreement was
'nly an executory contract, and the
abor necessary to their preparation
or delivery was condition pre-
,edent to vesting a title in the
)laintiff. "No title or right of

possession having passed by such
contract" said the Court, "it is
settled in this state that replevin
will not lie to recover possession Of
personal property under such cir
cumstances."
After holding that plaintiff cam
not rest his right Of recovery upon
the executory contract, the Supreme
Court discussed the agreement
viewed as 4 mortgage. It is held
that defendant had rendered repay
ment Of the advances made by
plaintiff, and that plaintig was
not entitled to possession of the
hops because Of advances made to
defendant by plaintiffs agent on
the lattel's own account, which ad-
vances had not been repaid. rhe
decision continues:
1T is maintained by plaintiffs
counsel that, Buells having mort
gagged the hops as security for the
faithful performance Of his part Of
the contract, for breach thereof,
plaintiff was entitled to the pos
session Of the property. If Buells
did not raise the prescribed
quantity Of hops, or if they were
not Of the specified quality, Or if
they were not picked, dried or baled
in the manner indicated, and
Backhans, in consequence thereof,
is 70 be the sole Judge in his own
case Of the penalty he would de-
mand for violation Of the terms
OF the executory agreement, the
measure of his exaction might be
difficult Of ascertainment until be
had manifested it by settling with
Buells. If Buells failed to raise
10000 pounds of hops Of the speci-
fed quality, etc, Or refused to de-
liver them, Backhaus was eptitled
to recover from him the damages
he had sustained. which would be
the difference between the market
value on October 30, 1902, of 10000
pounds Of hops Of the character
and quality specified and the price
agreed to be paid heiefor, but as
this sum had not been liqqidaled
the debt which was the considera-
tion for this part Of the security
could not be ascertained, except by
some judicial proceedings instituted
for that purpose. 1t is true that
plaintiff, in any event, was entitled
to nominal damages, but this term
is so indefinite and the measure OF
this kind Of damages depends upon
50 many elements that it would be
improper to permit him to be the
Judge of the sum to which he was
entitled as such nr to take pos
session Of the properly to satisfy
same.
Contracts Of the character under
ought to be enforced

1t is further held that where the
condition in chattel mortgage is
if the obligation is un-
iquidated, the mortgaeee must re-
iort TO some appropriate judicial
proceeding to enforce his lien, in
which the amount Of his debt can

POULTRY AT STATE FAIR
Prospects Are Good For a Mammoth
Exhibit This Year.

The prospects for a mammoth
exhibit in the poultry department
of the Oregon State Fair for 1908
at Salem, have never been as bright
as they are now, writes Superin
tendent G. D. Minton, in the Pacific
Homestead. Poultrymen all over
the Pacific Coast are writing fol
premium lists and entry blanks.
and there have been no less than
six breeders who have stated that
they would put in at least 40 fowls
each.
The State Fair board hasordered
new up-to-date coops, and, barring
accidents, the fowls this year will
be housed in elegant, uniform coops
throughout.
A premium received at the Ore
gon State Fair is considered equal
to an award received at any poultry
show. This year the competition
promises to keen, and practically
all breeds will be well represented.
The Fair board has been ex-
ceptionally liberal this year in the
matter Of premiums in its effort to
draw out a good exhibit. This
year there has been added chest
display" award of $15 first, and
$40 second. The only requisite for
this is 20 birds in the class; they
may all be Of one variety. The
judge will place the awards. There
is also a "best pen" premium of
$40, also Chest specimen" preLaium
Of So, in both parti and solid color
in weight and non-weight varieties.
These are all new premiums and
are worth coming to the Fair to
secure. The money value Of these
premiums, while large in itself, is
small compared to the honor and
the value as an advertiser.
The stock will have the best of
care and everything will be done
that is possible 10 do to make this
department Of equal importance to
any other In shipping stock it
should always be shipped to the
'Fair Grounds, Oregon" and never
TO Salem. The management can
not possibly receive poultry if
shipped to Salem, and they will be
returned to shippers. The birds
lre received at the Fair Grounds
depot and re-delivered there at the
close of the Fair. The board |
free, grain and care dur
ng the Fair, and the owners have
no trouble at all on that score.
We hope to see a fine display Of
water fowl this year, as special ar
will be made to care
Or them and properly coop them.
There are hundreds of fine geese
Ind ducks in Oregon and Wash
ngton, and to bring them out
best display" premium Of So has
oeen offered in each class, the only
'equisite being 10 birds in the
lass. 1t is my desire as super
to at all times work for
he good of the show and with the
of the breeders we can
lave at least 1900 fowls, which
would not be too large an estimate

WILL RECOMMEND BUILDING
State Needs Proper Place for Care of
Criminal Insane.

The Peacock case has had a
tendency to impress upon the mind
Of Governor Chamberlain the fact
that the state is II need ofa proper
place for the confinement and care
of the criminal insane and he has
made memorandum Of the matter
in order to include in his message
to the Legislature the recommends
tion that a building be constructed,
either separate or in connection to
either the Insane Asylum or the
Penitentiary, expressly for the con-
fnement of the criminal insane
where they can receive treatment
for their malady and at the same
time be under the same restrictions
and discipline as the inmates Of the
State Prison.
In his long experience in the
practice Of law The Governor says
that it is notable fact that when
a plea Of insanity is entered in
case as defensefor the commission
of crime Of more or less enormity
and where there is the slightest
foundation for such plea and the
jury is satisfied that the plea is
we'll founded, while it isquite plain
that the defendant is guilty Of the
crime charged, they have only one
Of two things to do; find them
guilty Of the crime; and send them

insane and commit them to the
