Barney Pompelly.

Barney Pompelly, well-known char.
acter and ho7seman, was found dead
this morning shortly before o'clock.
in the alley between Court and State
streets, just in the rear of Mel Hamil-
tons place. The body was still warm
when discovered, and il is evident that
Pompelly fell dead suddenly while on
his way to breakfast. The remains
were at once removed 10 the coroner 8
office. No inquest will be held, as it is
plain that death was due to natural
causes
In his earlier life Pompelly was a
horsoman of rather rare ability, and for
the past 80 years has been caring for
race stock around the tl7acka He was
born in the Middle West, and was about
go years of age In the early seven
ties he went back East and came to the
coasb with Rockwell, the celebrated
horseman. He was engaged to go on
the ill-s.arred steamer Pacific, which,
with all ON board, was sunk off tho
Straits of Fuca. Barney got of at Van
couvcr, b. O., became too eonvivial and
missed the ship. He always claimed
that his jovial habits saved his life
Nh Pompelly was a scion Of an ex-
eellent family; was well bred and well
educated Two of his uncles were min
listers Of the gospel, and one of his sis-
tiers came West and married Mr.. Henry
Hayden. OF Eola, Polk county.

Judge Burnett Reversed In
the Timber Land Fraud
Case AgainStF. w. Jewett

The supreme court today handed
down three important decisions. One
opinion, rendered by Judge HALEY, re-
versed the decision of Judge Burnett in
the timber land fraud case of 7. W.
Jewett. One by Judge Bean affirmed d
the decision of Judge Sears, of the
Multnomah circuit court, in the case
of the State against Curt Miller, con-
vic.e ed of the violation of the law maxi
ling it misdemeanor to employ females
in factories for more than ten hours a
day. and one by Judge Moore affirmed
the opinion of the Douglas circuit court
in the case of John G. Barnes, convict
ed of the murder of William Graham.
In the Curt Muller case, Muller con.
ducts laundry in Portland, and was
convicted of working female help long
er than ten hours day. He was con-
victed in Judge Sears court, and ap-
pealed on the grounds that the legis-
lative act of 1903 was unconstitution-
al. The court holds that the 14th
amendment 10 the constitution was not
intended to limit the right of state to
make such regulations as may be nec-
essary for the welfare, peace, health
and good morals of the community.
The night to labor and to contract for
labor is itself subject to such reason
able limitations as are essential to the
welfare of the community. The legiss
lature may not arbitrarily interfere
with the liberty of contract, but it may
make reasonable regulations in refer.

The Jewett case is specially import

to be on his death bed. Jewett was in

MILLIONS IN FARM MORTGAGES.
Insurance Companies Have Much
 Money Thus Invested.

Money Thus Invested.
 Western farmers have grown rather particular about their indebtedness modern mortgage is that the mortgagee shall accept any portion of the prin- cipal at the time of any interest pay ment, says the Review of Reviews. This means that the harvesting of a good wheat crop, or the fortunate sale of bunch of cattle, may wipe out the debt, and the loan agent must find afl- other borrower However, one insur- ance company has $40,000000 in West ern farm mortgage loans, and the in terest thereon is sufficient to pay all it's death losses. Another company has $99,000,000 in these loans, scattered over the Mississippi Valley.
 The larger sums are in Illinois, with about $2S,000,000; Minnesota, with $1O,- 000.000 Missouri, S11,000000; Iowa, 10,100000; Ohio, SS,000,000 and lesser amounts in a dozen other States. It places approximately 4,000 farm mort gage loans every years and has in it's history leaned $250,000,000 in this way, with practically no loss. A report in the annuals of the American Academy Of Science, gives the amount of mort. gages held by the life insurance com. panies at $490,632, ,50S, or PIT per cent of the companies assets. This, how ever. includes loans on city property as we'll as those on farms. The percentage, is second only to that invested in bonds, indicating the partiality for this form of investment by the most conservative. of investors.
 The insurance company loan is safe guarded in every possible way. The in terrogatories of the application cover four large pages and include every thing from the size of the borrowers family to the use he proposes to make of the money. They even inquire into his habits and his standing in the com munity for the well-informed investor realizes that the best part of his se-. curity is the personality of the bor-. rower.
 Thus it happens that the insurance, companies have few foreclosures and practically no losses on this class of investments. Of recent years the value. of land has increased so rapidly that every loan--made, as these investments are, on q basis of 40 per cent, of real value-become "gilt-edged" and was the. best possible security.
