RECORD OF THE TRIP
A Convenient Device for the Use OF
Automobiles.
Antnmnhile.

~. s.. ..-. AuLOmODlle. ---
It frequently happens that an auto
,nobilist not only wants to know how
far and how fast his car travels, but
also just when a certain rate of speed
was reached and how long 1t was main
tanned. It is exceedingly comforting,
when confronted with police evidence
to the effect that ones car was travel
ing at, say, thirty mile clip, to be
able to produce record clearly proving
that the speed at that particular time
was well within the legal limit.
An instrument which will provide the
,automobilist with complete record OF
a days travel has recently been put
on the market by Reading, Pa, com
pany. It performs the functions OF
chronometer, adometer and speedome-
ter and automatically records all the
movements of the car during half day
The instrument contains clockwork
movement that revolves a record disc
Of paper on which point makes q
mark at predetermined Intervals, the
spacing of the marks, as Indicated by
the rulings Of the disc, forming q per-
manent record of the speed and the
time. AS the disc continues to revoive
when the car is standing, the length OF
each stop is recorded in the same way.

Robert, Jr., respondent
An action to recover money had and
received. Held: Admitting that the an
swer set up counterclaim which pre-
scented an issue for an accounting, the
evidence was not sufficient to justify the
court in holding that according to the
partnership agreement respondent was to
furnish all Of the stock, implements and
materials necessary to be purchased dur
ing the progress Of the partnership work.
In striking an account between the
parties error was committed in charging
appellant with certain stock and mate
rails bought for the benefit Of the firm.
Order reversed and new trial granted.

CASE

AttomeyGeneral Crawford filed tn,
following opinion in the Sears applica

In regard to the matter referred I,
me by your letter under date of Apri
l3, 1908, enclosing the application OF
James X. Sears TO purchase the east
half of section l5, township south

dated April ), 1908, and check payable
TO your order for $l6O, also application
Of Fred Palmer for certificate numbered
lO,955 and copy of order Of the board
covering the same, ! have the honor ia
report as follows;
I. That the affidavit of James X.
Sears does not purport to be founded on
personal knowledge, but is made only
upon information and belief. He does
not state from personal or positive
knowledge that fraud has been commit.
ted upon the state of Oregon, nor does
he state facts within his knowledge
which tend to prove such fraud. His
evidence is at most hearsay, and, in my
opinion, would not be sufficient 10 set
aside the certificate of Mr.. Palmer, be-
ing numbered lO,955, or any other like
certificate, 1t might, however, be suf-
fcient to justify the board in making
inquiry as to the bona Rdes of the
transaction of Mr.. Palmer and Mr..
in regard to the application
and land above described.
