Extraordinary Lawsuit.

James Hamilton, of Salem, a
young man 22 years of age, has
brought suit in the Benton Coun-
ty Circuit Court against H. w.
and Webster Holmes, attorneys
also of Salem, to recover title
in farm lying few miles north
of Monroe. Mr.. Hamilton al
lege that in December, 1900,
while he was yet minor, his
mother, Anna Hamilton, sued for
a divorce, from her husband on
the grounds of desertion, employ
ing Holmes & Holmes as her at
torneys. In 1907 the divorce was
granted and the property rights
between Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton
were satisfactorily adjusted, the ia
ther making no opposition. The
farm in question, which consists of
3Io acres of land and valued in this
complaint at $4,000 became the
property of Mrs. Hamilton.
On the day the divorce was
granted Mrs. Hamilton decided
this farm to Webster Holmes as
trustee to satisfy claims OF the at
torneys amounting to$5oo. Three
months later Mrs. Hamilton died
and soon after Webster borrowed
800 giving in return a mort
gage On the farm. The son wait
ed until he became of age when
he demanded from Holmes &
Holmes a settlement of the estate.
1t was refused on the ground that
the instrument OF transfer signed
by his mother was a deed giving
him full title to the farm in ques-
ton, and not simply as trustee.
In the suit just filed James Ham
ilton repudiates the exhorbitant
charge of $500 made for securing
the divorce, agreeing to pay any
reasonable sum up to $3.50 with
interest until present time, and
demands a title to his mother $
farm free of all incurn brances.
The case will be tried in the No
vember term of the Circuit Court.
John Bayne, of Salem, is attor.
ney for the plaintiff.

Toledo Reporter-A car load
of young oysters from the Allan
tic coast passed through here We'd
nesday and are being planted"
in the bay near Yaquina. These
oysters will not multiply in Pa
ci6c waters, but after they get a
start in life, grow rapidly. With
in couple of years this carload
will have grown into several car
loads, and its commercial value
will be a handsome figure. The
freight charges on the car, it is
reported amounted to nearly 5000,
and that should give the oysters
a decidedly rich favor.

It is more and more evident,
as the time passes, that the Hearst
Boom is collapsing, and that Will
lie is slowly and reluctantly realiz-
ing that this is not his year.
Some of his managers have stud
led up the question thoroughly,
zasd seeing no prospects of sue
cess, have wisely concluded to
wait till roo8. With defeat in
evitable for any candidate, Will
Hes enthusiasm wanes, and his
prophetic eye sees 1908 and sue
sess before him, and he prefers to
Dsde his time.
Let a conservative candidate
be defeated this year, and he sees
BE, chances much greater then.
He will retire gracefully, support
the candidate nominated with all
the power of his many newspa-
pers, and win the gratitude of
his patty for so doing. Then he
will claim the reward for his viz
euous actions, and go before the
people with the strength of a
united party and an almost unan-
nnous nomination. Oh Willie
is shrewd, and the millions will
grow larger under Republican
prosperity, and his great ambi-
tion will be then realized, unless
something happens. Will it?

The findings in the case were
that while. technically guilty of
