animal. AS matters now stand would-be
purchasers are even now particular to In
Quire whether the animal they are seeking
goes with hopples. II the answer Is In the
affirmative the sale is off, or the price asked
is discounted. For the past ten years
hoppled PAGERS have increased like Kansas

making speed. When the last hoppfed PAGER

Gossett claims that the company had
no case, and no legal right to intro
duce testimony without first having
entered answer to the complaints. but
Judge Eakin ruled otherwise and per-
mitted both sides to introduce testi-
mony as though an answer had been
filed by the company.
The company in refusing to answer
the complaint makes a new departure
in legal practice in Oregon and Judge
Eakin in permitting the introduction
of testimony where case had not
been brought to issue by the filing of
the regular complaint established a
new rule of practice in his court
The matter will be fought out in
the supreme court and o. r. & N. at
torneys feel sure that the rule will
stand. 1t will save the heavy expense
of jury trial in many small damage
cases and will place such matters in
the hands of the court for final decis-
ion.
In Vermont, Maine and Connecti-
cut this practice is general, but at
torneys say that 1t Is not a court
practice In any other states and they
are awaiting the decision Of the su-
preme court with more than usual in
terest.

had with Ex-Governor Steunenberg.

from direct evidence; that the hearsay
evidence should not bear any weight

as pleased with his instructions, es-
pecially the attorneys for the defense.

TEXAs PANHANDLE Is NO GOOD
This is the Judgment of L. j. T,yeely
Who Has Returned,

After having passed several weeks
IN looking over the land in the Pam
handle section of Texas, T. j. Tweedy
returned home yesterday. Asa Nc
Daniels, who accompanied Mr.. Tweedy
TO the southwest, has not yet arrived
but is expected within a few days.
In the opinion of Mr.. Tweedv the
land of the Panhandle section is no
good and offers but poor inducements
for homeseekers. Consequently he
made no purchases while there, and
has no praise for the county. He saws
that the prices at which the land is
offered, though low compared to
umatilla county values, are all the
land is worth, considering the quality
of the soil and the natural disadvan-
tages of the country.

Revenue Cutter Badly Needed.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The earnest
efforts of the members OF Congress
from the Pacific coast, coupled with
the dreadful lesson taught by the
Valencia disaster, will bring about
the authorization OF at least one first
class revenue cutter for use about Pu-
get Sound, during the present session
of congress, and will, in time bring
about the building of an adequate
fleet. Just at present the republican
leaders are shouting Economy" so
loudly that they can not hear the
needs of the country spoken In an
ordinary tone of voice. and the coast
may deem itself lucky.
In a report just made by Con-
gresham Cushman. OF Washington,
from the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, which has charge
of the bill authorizing the revenue
cutter, he says:
This vessel is needed to replace
the revenue cutter Grant. now per-
forming service I'm that district-a
vessel that is not now suitable on ac-
count of age and the effects of con-
tinuous service, to properly perform
duties devolving upon a vessel sta
toned in those waters. The numer-
Gus gales prevailing in this vicinity,
and the large amount OF shipping con-
stantly passing along this coast to
and from the important ports stu
ated on Puget sound, render it nee
essary that first-class efficient ves-
sci should be available to render i'm
mediate assistance when required.
There are about 100 documented
vessels of the United States in the
district of Puget sound, a large num-
ber being steamers, and these reauir-
Ing constant supervision and inspec-
tion in the enforcement of the navi-
CATION and customs laws. The ves-
sci proposed will he n strong factor
