King County Judge Holds Their
Contracts Are No Good
DECISION WAS SURPRISE TO DEALERS
CANNOT HOLD PURCHASER UN-
TIL HE HAS BEEN ACCEPTED
AS THE OWNER.

In a decision handed down in the
superior court at Seattle. Judge Rice
deals blow to the Seattle Real Estate
association by declaring that the con-
tract which they use in tying I'D prop
erty in their hands to dispose of is
nothing more than a license to sell and
is not binding in the least, particu-
larly so far as the prospective pur-
chaser is concerned.
The case which resulted in this de-
cision was brought by George Vraden-
burg to enforce the completion of a
transaction which he had entered into
with an agent of George Beggs to pur-
chase certain property owned by the
latter. Beggs was made the defend
ant.
Testimony was introduced to show
that Beggs had signed a contract with
a local real estate firm to sell certain
property, and Vrandaberg entered into
negotiations with the agent to buy this
property, paying down a sum of money
to bind the bargain. Before the alb
stract which was submitted to Vra-
denburg for examination, was accepted
Beggs sold the property to a third par
ty without notifying his agent or Vra-
denburg.
In finding for the defendant, Judge
Rice held that the intending purcha ser
had no rights under the contract until
he had been accepted as such by the
owner, and that the clause in the con-
tice before revocation is not binding
because there is no consideration in
volved except a promise of future serv-
ices, which is of no value.
Judge Rice said that he would like
to see the question passed upon by the
supreme court
The contract. which is given below,
is known as the "Uniform Contract"
and has been adopted by the Realt
Estate association. Heretofore it has
been enforced strictly and was looked
upon as great protection both to
agents and intending purchasers:

AG|TATE MUTUAL TELEPHONE LINES
Bringing Inland Empire Into
Close Touch.

PENDLETON, March 27.-The farm
ers who organized a mutual telephone
company one week ago are still agi-
tating the matter of mutual lines
Since this organization was perfected
letters have been received from the
secretaries of four or five different pri-
vate lines, which were not represented
at the original meeting, asking for
information as to the intents and pur-
poses of the mutual company. The
trend of these letters has been favor
able in general for a mutual which
will take in not only this, but other
counties of this state and Washington
Farmer lines are now running the
farmers claim, from the Walla Walla
valley to Athena and from Pendleton
to near Adams, leaving only a few
miles. five or six, to connect Pendleton
with the Walla Walla country.
A few miles extension, it is also
claimed would take in Helix, while
private lines are now running to
Echo, the Butter Creek country,
Ukiah, Alba, Pilot Rock and on to

that all of these would come into the

give each subscriber free service

least from Helix to Ukiah inclusive.

STOMACH IS NOT INDISPENSABLE
Noted English Physician Says People
Can Get Along Without the
Organ if Necessary.

That although the stomach is a valu-
able organ, it is perfectly possible to
get along without it, was set forth re-
Gently by Professor H. J. Paterson,
F. r. c. s.. in a lecture delivered at
the Royal College of Surgeons of Eng
land, at London. During the coarse
of his remarks the lecturer discussed
the removal of the whole stomach as a
radical cure for malignant disease. The
Standard that while the value of a
good stomach is undoubted, fortunately
nature is able to dispense with this Or
gan, as most of it's functions can be
performed vicariously by other portions
of the alimentary canal.
Nature has duplicated three of the
four functions performed by the stom-
ach, although the loss of the gastric
secretion cannot altogether be compen-
sated "Those who have lost it, says
one authority" 'have one weapon the
less in the struggle for existence" 1t
has been shown that dogs may gain in
weight and remain in perfect health
after removal of the entire stomach,
while the elaborate observations made
on a patient proves that the same holds
good of human beings. These observa-
lions record that the absorption of al
bumen was unaffected, and no putre-
factive changes occurred in the intes-
tines, which shows that the absence OF
the gastric juice does not lead to de-
composition in the intestines. Untll
some other cure for cancer is discov-
cred, wide removal is the ideal opera
ton.
