The history of the supreme court
of Oregon Is an interesting one. Ia
1S41, the few settlers here saw the
necessity of some form OF govern
ment. They were here under a
treaty of joint occupation with Great
Britain, and there was no semblance
of law. Or. Mclaughlin, as the chief
factor of the Hudson Bay company,
was the autocrat OF all except the few
hardy Americans who were not dis
posed to acknowledge British author
ity.
Ewing Young, who was reckoned
as one of the richest men in the ter
ritory OF Americans, had died, leay-
ing no relatives here, and some
means had to be devised to care for
his estate. SO a meeting was held
and DR.. I. l.. Babcock was elected
supreme Judge. He appointed all
administrator OF Young's estate, and
80 far as history tell us, that Is all he
did, under that tenure OF Office.
In 1s43 the provisional govern
ment was inaugurated, and from that
time on there was law and order in
the community, and justice was fair
1y and impartlally administered. a.
10. Wilson was elected supreme Judge
and served until 1S45. But as TO
what he did there is but little In the
archives to show. In 1S45 Nathanie!
Ford was elected by the legislature,
but declined TO serve. and Hon. Peter
II. Burnett was elected to the place.
Jmdge Burnett served until 1S47.
J. Quin Thornton succeeded him, 4!
and his first term of court was held
in June, 1S49 He was judge for
about one year, and was succeeded
by Hon. Columbia Lancaster, who
held one term OF court. in the year
1S49. Before the arrival OF the
territorial officers. the provisional
legislature elected Hon. A. H. Love- !
Joy, but there is no record OF any |
action by him.
There were also numerous cir
cult judges so called, I'm various |
places. Among them are o. Rnssel,
Robert Moore, J. w. Nesmlth and
Daniel Waldo, ana some OF their rec
ords would seem as II they were
holding supremc court. For Instance
In an old book, yellow with age, Il
Is said, "The second term of supreme
court OF Oregon territory held at
Plaine, 3rd Tuesday In April,
1874, o. Russell presiding, assisted
by r.. Moor, justice OF the peace"
The next record was that a circuit
court held in Cleckamas county on
the first day of October, 1S44. Ho1-
orable Ira l.. Babcock, Judge. This
Is rigned I. l.. Babcock. Judge pro-
bate. Another one seems 10 be held
at the Oregon Institute for Cham
polck county on the Sth day OF Octo-
ber, 1874, Honorable |. T.. Babcocli.
jndge, Another was hc'l on the
18th day of October, 1914, by the
same Judge In Yamhill. The records
are all very incomplete, both as 10
what was transacted and who was I
tranoactng the business.
Judge Burnett came to oregon in
1S4S from Missouri. lie was good
lawyer and evidently was satisfactory
to the people, He left Oregon in q
about 1S4S and went to California,
where in 1850 he was elected the 4
first governor OF the state. When
Oregon was formed into a territory
by congress, Judge Burnett was ap-
pointed one OF the justices of the
supreme court by the president but
he never qualified, being in Califor-
MIA at the time. He took a proml-
mont part in the formation OF the
state government of California and

AT THE THEATERS.

David Higgins in His Last Dollar
was greeted at the Grand last night
with one of the smallest audlences
that has been at the house this year.
He deserved better patronage. Mr..
Higgins is an actor of more than ordin-
ary ability. His Last Dollar" is bet
ter than the usual run of romantic
dramas. Higgins had an unusually
large supporting company which was
generally good. And the combination
of Higgins, his company and the play
resulted in a theatrical production
that was we'll worth seeing.
For some reason or other Mr.. Hig-
gins does not seem to draw well in
Topeka. What that reason is it is
hard to say. Surely there is no ex-
cuse for it for the Grand is frequently
compare with Mr.. Higgins and shows
that ought to be apo1ogized for. But,
as stated, Mr.. Higgins never draws
much of a crowd in Topeka. He has
been here on a couple of other occa-
sions and has been as badly treated
on them by Topekans as he was last
night. While Mr.. Higgins may be cha
grined a bit at this slight on the part
of Topekans, he has never had to
walk out of town with his company
because of their failure to patronize
him for he is known in the profession
as a most successful actor and seems
to be exceedingly popular in about
every part of the country but To-
peka.
His Last Dollar is sort of thrill
Ter from start to finish 1t is brimful
of action. A good love story is told.
There is plenty of good comedy and
the usual amount of real good villainy
in the piece but everything is ironed
out nicely in the end
A company of twenty-four players
and three real live horses supported
Mr.. Higgins and the work of the en-
tire company averaged good deal
better than that of most big COM
