Injunction is Dissolved.

Albany-The temporary injunction
against the Home Telephone company,
granted three weeks ago at the instance
of the Pacific States Telephone COM
pany, has been dissolved by Judge Will
liam Galloway, and the Home company
is again at work installing it's system in

the Pacific States company had no right
to attack it's rival in regard to it's fran

between the Home company and the
city officials, and that the plaintiff
company did not subetantiate its other
claims in it's complaint.

Defines Term Freebooter.

Salem Attorney General Crawford,
in reply to query from the county
clerk as to the meaning of the term
freeholder, as used in the Oregon stat
utes, says that it means person who
is the owner of an estate in fee in land :.
The question arose in regard to the
swearing in of voters on election day.
The law says that the affidavit of the
applicant must be supported by the
sworn statement of six freeholders,
which the attorney general construes to
be six landowners, not property own
ers, as the law is generally construed.

PLAYING SHYlOCK.

Insurance Companies Knock OFF One
Third San Francisco Losses.
Oakland, CAL, June 4.-The word
insurance is all one hears in San Fran
cisco today and the language used re-
garding the dilatory tactics of the in
surance companies is far from compli.
mentary. The people have not the
slightest faith in the statement given
out that most of the companies are
anxious to settle promptly and dollar
for dollar. Their doubt appears to be
we'll founded, for the insurance com.
panies, with a very few exceptions,
have shown a tendency to slice off
about third OF their liabilities when
settled.
Cases such as this are common. A
man who had $4OO insurance on goods
worth 5000 gets about 5000 when he is
through with the adjusters. He has
really been compromised with. The
insurance company has driven a bar
gain.
1t has been estimated that, of $780,
900, 900 owing, the companies will pay
about $l20, 900, 900, holding out $780,
100000 which belongs to the insured.
1t is Difficult to compile facts, as the
insurance officials are not communica-
tive, but it is estimated that the losses
already settled have been on q third
knock-off basis. They call it stealing
here.
While the people are gradually be.
coming wrought up and may attempt
to force action by the insurance COM
panies, they know they are practically
helpless and that legal action will only
cause further delay. They must rely
on the sdjusters and take what they
get.
Everyone is awake to the situation
of the two home companies. which per.
force can only settle slowly. Their &C.
curities and thu basis of their securities
are destroyed and the people whom
they count on to cash them are unable
to do 80. They must unload slowly or
not be able to settle at all.

City Will Investigate.

Chicago, June 4. - The city has de
cided to appoint a commission to in
vestigate the conditions at the stocl

lar the recent cTItlcism of metho ls en-

Commissioner Whalen, decided to ask
the cooperation of the Federal govern
ment. and the authorities will be asked

What Becomes Of Some Employees in

Paris, June 4.-Chicago meat will
be barred out of France if the object of

VALUABLE COAL DEPOSIT.
Three Veins of High Grade Bituminous
Uncovered Near Eugene.

Uncovered Near Eugene.
Portland-Three veins of the highest
grade of bituminous coal, two of which
are 10 and six feet thick, respectively,
will soon be worked on Spencer creek,
10 miles southwest of Eugene. j. w.
Zimmerman, secretary and manager of
the company organized to work the
mine, is in Portland buying coal cars.
"The outcroppings are very promis.
ing" declares Mr.. Zimmerman. "We
are convinced that we have one of the
richest coal mines in Oregon, if not in
the Northwest. The discovery of this
coal was made many years ago, but the
owner of the property refused all offers
for it until I secured it last year. Since
March we have had six men at work
sinking shaft. Within so days we
will be in position to work the mine.
Business men OF Eugene have ap-
pointed committees to visit the ground
and examine it, and they are enthusi-
astic over the prospect. Samples as.
sayed prove the coal to be of the best
quality. Funds for working the mine
have been supplied by merchants of
Eugene. We are assured that the
Southern Pacific will aid US as soon as
we demonstrate that the property is
valuable. There will be no difficulty
getting the coal to Eugene, or the main
track of the Southern Pacific, as there
is almost level grade from the mine."

Magnificent New Hospital Is Fully
Dedicated.
DISTINGUISHED GATHERING
Astoria's Interest and Pride Are Plainly
In Evidence-Governo Chamber
lain Sends Regrets-Addresses
From Home.

Yesterday afternoon between six and
seven hundred !Astorians gathered at
the eastern portico of the beautiful new
hospital of st. Mary, on Sixteenth
street, to witness the public ceremonies
of the dedication program, and to tes-
tify their interest in the splendid EN-,
terprise of the Sisters of Charity OF
the House of Providence, to whose long
and faithful labors is due the exist
ence of this monument of good will
toward man."
The street, the sidewalks, the stone
stairways, on the outside, and the long
corridors and the adjacent halls and
rooms on the ground floor, were throng-
ed with people of all sorts and condi-
tions, and all persuasions, religious and
ethical; the last one cf whom was proud
and pleased to be in at the hour when
this fine attribute of the civic life OF
Astoria was installed as the last and
best of her institutions.
The dedication ceremonies of the
church represented by the hospital and
its founders and builders had taken
place some hours before. when Ponti-
fetal high mass had been said and sung
with all the grateful junction the in
spring event called forth in the Catho-
lie breast, and the great spaces and
equipment of the house of mercy had
been blessed by His Grace, Archbishop
Alexander Christie, of the diocese of
Oregon. and the afternoon feature was
the formal public declaration of the
high purpose and destiny of the great
building.
Promptly at 2:So o'clock. the digni-
taries in charge of the auspicious event
gathered on the covered porch.way, led

Immediately opened the program of the
hour by introducing Mayor Wise.
Tie enforced absence of Governor
George +, Chamberlain was deplored ON
all sides when il was made manifest by
Mayor Wise who read a pleasant let
ter from his eNcelency announcing Il
sudden and important call to Eastern
Oregon, rs the reason he could not be on
hand at the important movement and
wishing the church, and sisters and the
new hospital itself an abundance of
abiding of fortune, Mayor Wise then
said:
I'VE are here to dedicate this struc'
tune to the cause OF suffering humanity.
The pages of history are full of
deeds OF heroism ON the field OF battle
we read of discoveries in the fields of
art and science newspapers and maya
zines recount the achievements in the
commercial world. and comment at
length upon the strife, successes and
defeats of great politicians; but we
hear little about the patient, self.sac-
riice, shown in the hospital by the
quiet. gentle sisters, who labor faith
fully and make sacrifices daily not for
the sake of world gain, not because of
the glory in it. nor because gem
erous people stands ready to applaud.
There will be eloquent addresses
made today that will appeal to our
noblest impulses and it is we'll that we
do so; but, nothing that may he said
here, can equal that which will be done
here, from day to day.
NO labor will be too hard, no danger
too great, the only thought that i'm
pels these ministring angels of mercy,
is the thought of relieving the suffer
ing. of cooling the feverish brow,-the
thought of serving God.
"Oh ii l only had the gift to ade-
quately praise this noble work; that,
since such gift is not mine let mine be
the privilege to hope. that every human
being seeking health and strength, may
find comfort here, and that every soul
that is calld into the never ending |
world. as all souls must some day leave
this transient life, that every such de.
parting soul, may find eternal rest and |
