benzef case and continued:
"The most vital difference, however be-
tween the case presented by respondent
in this suit and that presented by IT in the
Bubenzer suit consists in the respondents
treatment Of the alleged fact which con-
stituted the crucial point of the de-
cision in the suit brought by Daniel Bu-
benzer and the ground upon which that
decision rested exclusively I refer to the
alleged fact of the existence of an out
building Of the value Of three hundred
dollars upon thep remises sought to be
condemned. The respondent did not deny
that there was an outbuilding on Bu-
benzer's property of the value OF three
hundred dollars or upwards. and that cir
cumstance alone brought the Bubenzer
property within the restriction Of re-
spondent's power of condemnation con-
tanned in the charter Of the wilmington
and Susquehanna Railroad Company, viz:
That It shall not pass through any bury
ing ground or place of public worship, nor
any dwelling house without the consent
Of the owner thereof. nor shall il pass
through any outbuildng Of the value Of
three hundred dollars without such con-
sent"
I'm the case before me, however, this
vital allegation of the complainant Is de-
MED. both in the answer and by afi-
davits. and as. according TO the prin-
ciples laid down in the Bubenzer suit. the
complainants case must rest ultimately
upon his proof of this alleged fact, it
would seem proper that this should be
the first point considered
"The complainant supports this allega-
tion Of his bin by his own affidavit as fol-
lows: The stable on the easterly Of two
properties in which he is interested is Of
great value to the place as a licensed
house and has been regularly rented when
not used by the properties for as much a.
FIVE dollars a month, though sometimes
for three dollars per month.

HOUSE PASSES BILL
JAYNE'S MEASURE A REVERSE
FOR THE PR0HIBITIONIsTs.
Bill Incorporating Little Walla Walla
Irrigation District Becomes
a Law.

After what proved to be the most ami
mated discussion of the present session
OF the legislature, the house passed the
Jayne local option bill, amending the
present local option law by requiring 40
per cent of the legal voters of any pre-
cinct to sign the petition for an election
on the liquor question, and also provid-
ing for strict precinct local option, in
stead of a union of precincts as at pres
ent.
The largest crowd that attended any
session of the legislature was present to
hear the discussion on this bill, as it had
beer announced that Kay, of Marion
county, would introduce a substitute
measure, suggested by the local option
forces.
The Pierce bill incorporating the
Little Walla Walla Irrigation district
near Freewater, Umatilla county, has
become law. The bill is simply an in
cooperation bill, giving the irrigation
district much the same power to levy
taxes and disburse them for irrigation
purposes, as are enjoyed by municipali-
ties.
House bill 2O3, appropriating $2500
for the purpose of holding farmers in
stitutes, has also become law. 1t gives
the agricultural college power to hold
institutes at different parts Of the state
on application Of the farmers.
1t was definitely decided to adjourn
on Feb. II, without date, thus destroy
ing the hopes Of any Of the members for
a special session. The agitation for
special session came principally from the
Multnomah delegation, which, it is al
legged, wished to elect a United States
senator in case Mitchell should be prov
on guilty of the charges against him,
and be removed from office before the
next regular session.

VERT MADE RECEIVER.
Appointed by Judge Eakin to Have
Charge of GOlconda.

Appointed BY Judge Eakin to Have
Charge OF Golconda.
Pendleton, Feb. 9.John Vert, for
fifteen years the confidential man Of the
First National Bank of Pendleton, has
been appointed receiver of the Golconda
Consolidated Mining company by
Judge Eakin, and now has charge Of the
property.
The date on which this appointment
was made is not known. The creditors
Of the company, the bank mentioned
being the largest, with $4,000 mort
gage; j. A. Howard and others, asked
for the receiver a month ago, when
they instituted the foreclosure suit in
the circuit court, shortly after the
federal court enioined the sale Of the
property, on application Of Alexander
Prussing, Of Chicago, representing the
minority stock holders, through his
attorney in fact, H. 7. Hendryx.
It is understood that the creditors
wanted j. A. Howard for receiver, but
he being one of them, declined to act
and Mr.. Vert, representing the Pendle-
ton bank was named by the court.

FREEWATER is OPFN
LOCAL OPTION VICTORY IN
NORTH MILTON INVALID.
Petition Had Not Been Properly Re-
corded As Required BY
the Law.

Pendleton, Feb. 6.-Freewater is to
remain an open town and the citizens Of
that place who have a thirst for some
thing stronger than chasers will have
the privilege to appease their appetites
for some time to come. Hereafter it
will be just as lawful to conduct a saloon
in Freewater as in Pilot Rock, for yes
terday the case of the state against Geo.
Ireland was settled in favor of the de-
fendant and the bottom virtually knock
ed out of the local option law. En-
The defense openly admitted that al
legged violation of the prohibition law,
which is supposed to obtain 10 the
North Milton precinct, had been COM
mitted for the reason that the validity
of the law was matter of doubt and
therefore subject to a test. Evidently,
the law in that district neither holds
water nor chasers.
The case had been argued before
Judge w. r. Ellis the past two days
and only technical points were at issue.
After hearing the arguments yesterday
at noon Judge Ellis dismissed the jury
until 5 o'clock, when they reappeared
for further instructions, John Nc
Court, attorney for the defense, had
submitted motion to the court to dis
miss the charge and acquit the defend
ant. Judge Ellis after deliberating
over the case few hours, sustained the
motion and instructed the jury to return
verdict Of acquittal on the grounds
that the requirements of the local option
law had not been complied with and
that the petition to sub-divide the
North Milton district, in which Free
water is located, had not been properly
and fully recorded.

M. A. Ferguson, editor of the Ad-

day, comforting with the prosecuting
attorney and the county Judge in regard
to enforcing the quarantine act in the
neighborhood Of Adams. A number Of
Indians in the locality are affected with
diphtheria and are lax in keeping the
disease in check.
Both the Judge and attorney will in
vestigate, and il possible enforce strin-
gent quarantine until the disease is
stamped out. An effort will also be
made to have the present law amended
by State Senator Smith in this legisla-
tive session SO as to make more definite
several doubtful clauses which might be
misconstrued IN court.
