Ritch Friday afternoon.
According to his own confession he
and Andrada had quarreled over the
question of ownership of a wrench.

approaches the difficulties surrounding
the case seem to grow, both because of

so as to reveal this other ore at the

graded into six different sorts &C
cording TO color, ciearness and the

SPRAYING LAW SUSTAINED
Important Decision Rendered In Hard
Fought Case of SeIlwood Against
Commissioner Reed.

The new law relating to spraying
was upheld Friday, when the jury In
the suit Of 7. r. A. Sellwood VS.. James
n. Reid brought in verdict for the
defendant after being out about three
hours. The verdict was expected by
all parties to the case, and the jury
was out much longer than anticipated.
The trial Of the case lasted two days
and aroused intense interest, not only
in Clackamas county but in other sec
tions of the state, as it was generally
considered a test of the law, under
which Commissioner Reid. while act
ing in his official capacity notified
T. r. A. SelIwood Of Milwaukee to
spray the trees in his orchard, and
after his failure to do SO took some
men, went into the orchard and cut
down "a prune trees that we're infested
with San Jose scale.
The rulings of Judge Mcbride on
questions that arose during the trial
were in favor Of the defendant in every
instance. The court said that Reid
had Il right to cut down the trees, after
Sellwood had failed to comply with
the law, and his instructions to the
jury were clear and decisive. He said
there were only three propositions to
be considered-whether or not the
orchard was infected; whether the
plaintiff had been given notice and
time in which to spray, and whether
he had sprayed. The court defined
! the duties of the fruit inspector, and
said when the official found an orchard
In diseased condition it was his duty
to notify the owner, and after he had
failed and neglected to spray his
trees, the inspector could use his dis
cretion in either cutting down the
orchard or spraying the trees himself
and charging the expense as a lien
against the property. He ruled that
it was not necessary for the fruit in
spector to warn of the consequences
that might ensue in the eventof failure
to spray, and that Ignorance Of the
law was no excuse.
The result OF the trial will no doubt
make things easier for the fruit in
spectors, who have had no easy task
and have aroused the enmity of scores
Of people. 1t is considered likely that
violations and unlawful practices will
now come to an end.

LYCEUM COURSE OPENS
Gates Concert Company Will Be
Followed By WelbOurn the
Electrician.

The opening entertainment Of the
Lyceum Course was given by the
Lulu Tyler Gates Company at Wood
man Hall on Saturday night The
attendance was large, and the concert
was highly satisfactory to the audience
judging from the hearty applause
that was accorded each performer.
The enthusiasm with which the open
ing entertainment was received guar
antees a large audience for Welbourn,
the Electrician, the next attraction Of
the course.
Mr.. Welbourn will appear Wednes-
day, December in an evening of
marvellous experiments entitled "In
the Year 1000; a Prophecy" This is
Mr.. Welbourn's greatest work. 1t
was prepared at the request OF
hundreds of people from all parts OF
the country. The invariable questions
brough forth by his previous efforts,
night after night, were: "Why not
give us bit of prophecy, and show
us what scientists are doing for the
future? Why not let us into the
secrets Of the laboratory, that we may
cross the borderland of discovery, and
see in the experimental stage the
wonderful things which future gener-
ations will be most likely to make
practical?" The American people
have always craved prophecy. The
magazines are full of it. They recog-
nize that all progress depends upon
the ability of the people to look ahead
and see what is coming. And SO it
came about that ''In the Year 5000"
was produced; but it required five
years of unremitting labor to do it.
During these five years Mr.. Well
bourn enlisted the attention of some
of the greatest men of science in the
world, and was fortunate enough to
secure the personal assistance OF
Nikola Tesla, Lord Kelvin, Sir William
Crookes, Signor Marconi, and many
others both in this country and
Europe. No better testimonial of Mr..
Welbourn's ability and standing
could possibly be written. He
prophesies that those things will be
which must be. He meets the great
problems Of life face to face and
shows, by the most wonderful expert
ments ever produced on the lyceum
stage, how they are going to be solved
In short, this entertainment was pre-
pared with but one purpose II
view-that Of making it the most
elaborate and fascinating expert
mental entertainment ever given the
lyceum. At Woodman Hall, Decem
