AN IMPORTANT LIFE
INSURANCE DECISION.
U. S.. Circuit Court Establishes Va
Iidity of "lncontestibIe Clause"

U. s.. Circuit Court Establishes Va
Boston, Mass. Dec. ia decis-
ion establishing the validity of the
~so-called "Incontestable Clause" in
a life insurance policy was landed
down yesterday in the U. s. Circuit
Court of Appeals. The case came be
fore this court on an appeal by the
Mutual Reserve Fund Life Insurance
Association from the judgment OF
the circuit court in favor Of Sylvia
Austin, ~executrix of the will of iona
than w. Austin, to the amount of
s16,93O on three life insurance poll
cies. The company claimed that the
agreement as to incontestabilaty
was purely conditional upon the in
surance having beer in force, and
that h insurance was not in force
because at the time Of delivery of
the policy the insured was not in
good health.
The court hnds that the argument
as to absence of continuous force is
predicated upon a fact not appearin
in the policy. The court declared that
il the company's argument were adop
ted. the policy instead Of being in
contestable, would be contestable al
ways.

Editor Record
Although not residing within the
city limits of Roswell. 1 venture to
resnond to your call for suggestions
relative to granting a franchise to a
water company.
In the first place, II I'm not mistaken
an investigation will prove that the
rates to consumers of water In AlDu-
sueroue. far exceed those charged at
Las Vegas: and when I lived in Al
buoueroue there was a strong feeling
that the rstes charged there were e1-
cessive and exorbitant. 1t strikes me
therefore, that the franchise should
not make the Albuquerque charges
the criterion to control here; but
should provide that the rates to be
charged by the local company should
not exceed those charged at some
other point where there is no ques-
ton as to their being reasonable
Again the franchise should not pro
vide that. a, a consideration for the
rental of the hydrants. not only the
city, but the board of education and
the county should have each a certain
amount of water to be used within
the city Limits without any addition
n charge.
I make thi, suggestion because the
city Of albuquerque. having more wa
ter than it required o its immediate
use, ATTEMPTED to donate the surplus
TO the board Of education for use at
the several school buildings and
grounds. and vas met with the legal
objection that the city and the board
of education rere two separate and
distinct corpGations. and that one
could not tranifer its right under the
franchise to tie other: and this OBJ
lection was sustained by he courts.
1t is very dsirabie that the court

the school buildings should be beau

BY SPECIAL TRAIN.
Extremely low Rate for the Trip-An-
nua1 O. A. C.---Eugene Game.

Manager Stimson has arranged
for special train to take the OAC
football team and friends to Eu-
gene on Saturday of next week for
the big annual game with the Uni
versity eleven. The train is to
leave the c. & E. station at $50
or nine O. clock, will run straight
through to Eugene. and on the re
turn trip will leave Eugene about
seven o'clock, reaching Corvallis
at $3.50 or nine O'Clock p. m. The
, railroad companies have made the
unusually low rate of one fare for
the round trip, or S1.S5 in all from
Corvallis to Eugene and return.
The round trip rate for similar
excursion two years ago was So. so.
The rate on the present occasion
places the trip within reach of ev-
erybody. and will we'll nigh convert
the day into municipal holiday at
Corvallis, for there are indications
that the excursion will be
record breaker. The game
has come to be one of Statewide
interest, and the enthusiasm for it
this year, here and elsewhere.
transcends all things of the kind in
the past.
Besides the special train out of
Corvallis for the game, negotiations
are pending for special train from
Monmouth and Independence, car
rying excursionists from there in
time Saturday morning to make
connections with the Corvallis
special. Manager Stimson is
awaiting reply ffom Mr.. Hirsch-
berg, proprietor Of the Independence
motor line with reference to the
matter. Many people of Independ'
ence and Monmouth have written
for rates and information concern
ing the Corvallis-Eugene special
and it is certain that if a train con
meets from Independence, many

DOWN THE GRADE.
Over the Boat and Into the River
Horses and Wagon-A Ferry
Scene.

A sensational accident happened
at the Corvallis ferry late Tuesday
afternoon. A team and a heavily
laden wagon dashed at full speed
down the grade on the west side of
the river, sped swiftly the length of
the boat, tore away the chains and
big timber that bars the boat S end,
and plunged headlong into the wat
er below. 1t all transpired in a
twinkling, giving but little time
for the three persons about the boat
to scramble to places of safety. The
happy fact in thei Incident is that no
other teams were aboard the boat
at the moment, or the details told
in these lines would be of far more
serious import.
The occasion of the accident was
the fact that the brake On the wag-
on failed to hold. This was fol-
lowed by an effort of the team to
hold the load, when the neck yoke
gave way. On the wagon was T.
200 feet of lumber, five kegs of
nails. and large quantity OF hard
ware. The owner is Wesley Mill
hollen, who was hauling materials
over to his farm for building a new
house.
When the brake broke, the
trouble was on apace. The driver
! held the horses held fairly we'll, un,
til the neck yoke broke. and the
heavy wagon smashed against them.
The impact was terrible and the
see ne that followed extremely ugly.
Down the grade the outfit passed
at great speed. Before the boat
| was reached. the driver rolled of
the wagon into a place of safety,
and escaped with only a few bruis-
es. On to the boat, across it, then
off of it and into the waters of the
river went team and wagon.
The horses were saved. The
chains that bound the bar across
the east end of the boat caught in
the breast strap of one of the horses
and pulled the heads of the team,
after the outfit went over, back TO-
wards the boat. This enabled those
about the boat to get ropes
on the horses by which they were
held until the harness was cut away
Once freed, one of the horses struck
out and swan across to the cas-
side of the river. The other land
ed safely on the west bank at the
ferry landing.
The wagon sank to the bottom O
the river, was subsequently fshee
out and drawn across the river tt
the east side where it was pu1lee
ashore, The lumber in the loae
happened to be bound with chair
and it was all recovered. Two, o
the FIVE kegs of nails were ais
Ifshed out, but most of the hard
ware is still somewhere in the bot
tom of the Willamette. The acci
/ dent, is one of the 1uckiest ye
chronicled, in that there was s.
much chance for serious conse
quences with so little of loss actual

Memorial to Booth.
I'M the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Tn honoring the memory of Edwin Booth,
the once famous actor, the ladies of Har-
ford county, Md, have had erected at the
entrance of the Hartford county court house,
on Main street, in Belair, a handsome
bronze drinking fountain, in which man,
woman, child and beast can enjoy to their
hearts content the pure drinking water that
flows from spring nearby. OF this spring
Booth himself, after he had grown up and
become famous actor, used to say,
when he visited the town of his childhood
days, 1t one of the greatest pleasures
of his life to drink good old Hartford county
water.
When Mr.. Booth died he willed to the
ladies of Belair, who at that time conduct
ed free library association, the sum of
$500. Before the money was received the
association went out of existence.
The members of the association not
knowing what to do with the money, placed
it In a bank, and, as the library association
has never been reorganized, the members
last summer decided that they would pur-
chase fountain and have 1t placed in the
center of their little town, where every one
could enjoy the result of Mr.. Booths dona-
ton.
The fountain is an attractive ornament
to the town, and no better place could be
selected than at the entrance to the his
torical old court house. The fountain will
not be- turned over to the town until spring,
when an interesting program will be ar
ranged for the occasion.
Mr.. Booth was born on farm near the
town of Belair, and had spent his early
years in and around Belair, and when he
forgot his old friends in Hartford county,
and often made frequent trips to the old
homestead, which has now passed out of
the familys hands.

Miss Eva Booth is the fourth daughter
of the world-famed philanthropist Gen.
William Booth. When but a school girl
she served her apprenticeship in the
cause which has been her life work SELL
ing copies of the War Cry" on the streets
of London. Her first public speech was
made In an open-afr meeting in one of
the darkest slums of London.
While yet in her teens Miss Eva played
an important part by the side of her sis
ter, the late Consul Booth Tucker, who
then, as Miss Emma Booth, was in charge
of the first training home of the organi-
cation. She has filled every position in
the army, from sergeant to commander.
Her First Appointment.
Commander Booths first appointment
was to large corps which was assailed
by storm of abuse and opposition which
threatened to stamp out not only the ex-
istence of the Salvation Army, but the
lives of its adherents in that district The
hail. which held 5000 people, was sur
rounded by a dense population of the
lowest and most wicked. Captain Eva's
first announcement was that she meant
to be her own policeman.
For some time the toughs had been In
possession of the hall, despite the assist
ance of the men in blue, but what the law
could not do the frail, fair girl accom-
plished. Within few weeks she had
worked a revolution in the neighborhood
and had won the respect and affection of
the whole gang.
Miss Booths last appointment in Eng
land was as commander of the London
province and principal of the internal
tional training homes. in which dual DO
sition she had $1,000 soldiers, 600 officers
and about 800 cadets always under her
control. From here she received orders
to go to Canada, where during the past
eight years she has done good service
