WIFE'S PROPERTY Is EXEMPT.
Secure From Responsibility for Hus
bands Debts.S

Judge Miller has rendered dec s.
ion in favor of the plaintiff in the case
Of Mary Hester VS.. O. NJ. Stine. says
the Dayton Courier-Press. This is a
case in which it was sought to take
the property of Mrs. Hester for the
payment of Indebtedness contracted
by her husband before their marriage
At the time of their marriage in 1898
Mrs. Hester had some $1,000 in cash,
besides considerable property, while
Hester had nothing, but was involved
in debt. Afterward Mrs. Hester pur-
chased 100 acres of land, paying for ii
out of her own funds.
In 1900 Mrs. Anna NJ. Day obtained
a judgment against Mr.. Hester for
$97S.S7. an amount due as principal
and interest on note given by Mr..
Hester to Mrs. Days husband, now
deceased. In 1908 Sheriff Stine serv-
ed an injunction upon Hester, in
pursuance of which he levied on 75S
sacks of barley raised upon the land
owned by Mrs. Hester. BY Judge
Miller's decision, the return of the
barley or its equivalent in money,

GIANT BEAR IN CROOK COUNTY.
Grizzly Leaves Tracks Seven by Thir-
teen Inches.

The old grizzly bear that for years
has made pilgrimage through these
parts each spring has recently passed
through this section. says the Bend
Bulletin. Tom Ryan reports he saw
tracks of the old fellow and where he
slept I'm the hay at the Donkle place
up at The Meadows. The tracks
measured seven inches in width and
13 inches long.
Thursday morning Bill Brock, Al
Howell and Carlyle Triplett took
Brooks hounds and started out to
get the bear If possible. From the
Donkle place he was headed north
east, and the hunters started for the
ice caves country i'm hopes of head
ing him off or at least crossing his
trail They took blankets and pro-
visions with them and II the trail Is
at all fresh. they intend to stay with
It until they bag the bear or the bear
bags them.
John Sisemore says this grizzly has
crossed the river In this region twice
each year for is years. He Is always
alone, and as far as any one knows
seems to be Tracy-a natural out
law among the bear tribe.

aside from maintaining high grade
of scholarship in the regular course
Of study, took an active part in ath-

AN ANCIENT BILLIARD TABLE.
Now Used as an Imposing Stone at
Prairie City.

The imposing stones used in the
Miner office have passed through
stirring times not only in the old print
shop but during the early history OF
Grant county, says the Prairie City
paper of that name.
These slabs of slate are all that re.
main Of the first billiard table brought
into this county, ]. j Cozart of this
place in the year 1868, brought from
The Dalles this old billiard table. II
was brought to Canyon City and wit
messed many a nights revelry with
the miners and their dust. Many tales
of mining lore were spun around its
green cushions and the "ivories" were
pushed along its green rails by men
whose obituaries have since been set
on IS smooth surface.
Some of the survivors of the golden
days of Canyon creek will no doubt
recollect this table and in their remi-
niscences link with it associations and
scenes that still cling to memory.
Although the table itself has long
ceased to be, the slab still remains
unmarked, and although they now
perform a valuable service it is for a
purpose little dreamed of in the stir
ring time of the early gold excitement
at Canyon City.

Cummings stated this morning that
work on the power plant and pipe line
will probably commence in March and
will be rushed to completion. From
10 to 100 men will be employed in in
stalling the plant. The dam in Olive
lake is nearly finished now and will
be ready before the pipe is laid.
This project will furnish enormous
power as there is plenty of water in
the lake and a fall of 100 feet is OBJ
tained through the six miles of pipe.
The first plant to be installed will be
two generators of 500 kilowatts each.
though a large power station may be
installed later. About $150,000 is to
be expended upon the project which
is to be under the personal supervision
of Mr.. Cummings.

Morrow County is Productive.

Morrow county has proven itself
as valuable country for wheat rails
ing and the lowlands which can be
irrigated will grow as much alfalfa
as any place on earth, says the lone
Proclaimer. Years ago this country
was thought to be worthless because
the people were not accustomed to
the climate and soil conditions, so
were not competent to farm success
fully in this locality. But as the far
mers became more familiar with the
new country It has proven every year
to be better and better, and will con-
tinue to do so, for 1t is not that the
soil is any better than 1t was in the
early days, but because the farmers
know more each year about farming
here than they did the preceding
year.

The Pilot Rock Record pays the
following compliment to President
Leon Cohen and the Commercial as
sociation, of this city:
Pendleton is notorious for doing the
right thing at the right time. and I'm
keeping with the good sense of that
community, the Commercial associa-
ton has elected Lee Cohen as its pres
ident for the ensuing year.
No movement has been inaugurated
for the betterment of that town in
years without the personal and finan-
cial aid of Mr.. Cohen. He is a man
who does things" In the successful
management of his own mammoth
business he has demonstrated his fit
ness Ia head just such an organization
as the Commercial association. The
Influence of this association for good
Is well known to the people of all sec
tions of this county.
To its efforts and the personal con-
tributions of its members a passable
highway was constructed to the valley
Of the John Day, a decade ago. and its
Influence has had much to do with the
general improvement of the roads of
the county. No worthy enterprise ap-
peals TO the Commercial association in
vain. but the good work to be accom-
plished by this body of business men
has just begun.
Pendleton is entering upon the
threshold of an epoch making period
in its history. 1t is now beginning to
tear down the signs of a country town
preparatory to the erection of those

Council j. w. McLain of Boise civ
mas returned from an extended trip
10 the larger cities of the east, where
he went to investigate the different
classes of paving in order to secure
information as TO the best method for
Boise to pursue in the matter of paw
ing its streets. He returns an enthu-
siastic advocate OF bituithic pave
meht as the most satisfactory mate
rial in use in the different cities Wis
tied. Talking over his trip with a
Capital News reporter, Mr.. McLan
said:
I'm company with Councilman
koelsch / left Boise January 6. We
stopped first at Chicago, and then
went to Cleveland, Buffalo and Bos-
ton. At the latter city we met Mr..
| Warren, the head of the bitulithic
paving company, who showed us the
paving done at that city, going from
there to Cambridge to inspect the
streets at that place. We saw paving
that had been laid on grades ranging
from 8 to IL per cent, showing no
| evidences of wear and in perfect con-
| dition, though the streets were used
for heavy traffic.
'At Pawtuckett the bitulithic pave
ment had been down for five years,
and the streets used for heavy trucks
loaded with from six to 13 tons, yet
a careful examination failed to show
a single wheel mark, after this severe
test both as to time and hard usage,
and not a cent had been spent in
making repairs.
I'VE took particular pains to talk
with the engineers of the cities using
this pavement and also members of
the city councils, and without excep-
tion they recommended bitulithic as
the best paving material so far dis
covered, and which in their opinion
would never be improved upon.
There are Is miles of bitulithic
pavement at st. Louis, which make
the handsomest streets one ever saw.
The surface is smooth without being
slippery, and seem to be absolutely
indestructible.
AT every city that we visited where
asphalt pavement has been used, we
found the same conditions existing
that obtain in Boise. The pavement
was cracked, bad holes We're frequent
and it required constant repairing to
keep the streets in respectable condi-
tion. Wherever / talked of the mat
ter I found that they We're abandon
ing the use of asphalt, and substitut-
ing bitulithic in its place, whereas in
all the cities where they have expert
mented with bitulithic, they do not
advertise for bids on any other ma
terial, but invite proposals for this
class of pavement only. 1t has proved
itself to be the most perfect method
of pavement ever discovered"
Wherever we We're there was q
constant inquiry regarding Boise and
Idaho by people who are anxious to
learn more of this country, and
everything indicates that immigration
to Idaho is going to be very heavy
during the next few years. Mr..
Koelsch did not return with me, but
went to Milwaukee to visit his parents
in that city"

EDITORIAL

The odyessy of the municipal law
is having an unexpected and catas-
trophic ending. Public opinion ex-
pected that when the amendments
/ of the Executive Council were once
known, they would be deemed mad
missable; but all signs point to things
taking a different course.
The treacherous peridy of the con.
lgreqation has accomplished one OF
its darkest and most unwelconne suc-
cesses, in counting on the House OF
Delegates declaring void and illegal
ly constituted the League of Munich
palities.
Because that is the meaning to be
deduced from the amendment made
to article 133 of the municipal law
which goes to the House of Delega-
tes for approval
If what the parliament sanctions
and what may be constituted legally
is a society of the presidents and
councillors of the municipality; and
if this amendment is accepted by the
House of Delegates, it would not
require any great amount Of effort on
the part of the functionaries to
demonstrate to the powers and to
American opinion that the League Of
Municipalities is an illegal and sub
versive society.
To this extreme has been carried
the persecution of the most worthy
work accomplished by the Porto Ri
cans since the invasion.
Were the House of Delegates to
approve the amendment made to
article I33 by the Executive COun-
Gil, it would be fulfilling the most
cherished desires of the redemption
nists and carrying out their machla-
vellian schemes.
There are some who hold the view
that the municipal law ought not to
be inundated on account Of the fer
ce and determined opposition which
the bureaucratic legislator ors have ma
de to article I33 in it's original form
Some have supposed that it is good
law, a democratic law, which re-csta-
blishcs fully municipal autonomy
and one that ought not 20 be sacrif-
ced because of the modifying Of one
of its articles.
This law, which is called de-
lizing one, accepts the impos-
ition Of the central power as supreme
and indisputable in it's various arti-
cles; not only does it do this, but it
also confirms the erroneous and
egotistical opinion of the function
aries which affirms the illegality OF
the Association of the Municipal
tiles, because this League represent

ed the most pronounced and vehemnt
protest of the country against its IL
quidators.
| Miserable autonomy is that which
deprives the municipalities of An
essential right Poor and worthless
democracy that which denies to coll
ectivities the rights of individuals!
The congregantes take the ground
that the Organization of the League
of municipalities was inadmissable
and that it merely represented an
Iassocciation of the gentlemen who
compose the various Municipal Cot-
ncilS.
The House Of Delegates has been
| picked out to give the Stab 70 the
League.
The political farces presented du-
ring the last few days, confirm Us in
our former opinion, and even produ-
ce the fear that we are degenerating,
becoming nothing more than the &C
tors in a burlesque or the clowns in
circus.
Were the matter one of minor i'm
portance, if it did not display our
representative in such an unfortu-
nate light, it would not make so
much difference; but as it is, there is
no shadow of excuse, no rea sons of
prudence, of discretion or questions
of advantage that can excuse the
passive attitude of the House of De
| legates.
Louder than the voice of the Hou-
Sc Of Delegates resounds that of the
League of Municipalities; vibran and
supreme was the protest of that great
ASSEMBLY of ayuntamientos on the
historic day of the seventh anniver-
sary of the American invasion.
And that voice the congregantes
seek to drown, that protest they
strive to destroy, thanks to a disloyal
and traitorous combination, which
the discreet pusillinimity OF our poll
tical leaders has prevented them
from striving TO break.
All! sAr good Ia7VS are not always
pa ssed by the Executive Council; go
metimes they pass, but at what
price and under what unfsvorable
conditions!
In exchange for a necessary reform
of the municipal law, we consign the
League of municipalities to the ten
der mercies of the redemptionists
In the tragic game of give
and take-which the congregantes
engage in for their distraction
we always get the worst of it.
But alas, we seem to be unable to
protect ourselves, we do not know
lhoN to be strong!
