That the friends of the normal
schools throughout the different Sec
tions of the state are not going to
calmly submit to thi action Of the
legislature in leaving the schools with
out any support is evidenced by the
reports being sent out from the diff
ferent sections. Aside from the ef-
forts that are to be made to have
something done in their behalf at the
special session, radical and far-reach-
ing retliatory measures are to be in
voked
Senator C. J. Smith received a
communication from Senator MULTI
Of Ashland. this morning, in which he
said that n strict boycott had been
declared on the Portland Oregonian
and Telegram in his part Of the state
and that the boycott would be extend
ed until II covered the three counties
OF Douglas, Jackson and Josephine.
The defeat OF the normal schools is
largely attributed to the fight made
upon them by those two papers.
He also stated that the merchants
of the southern oregon towns had
agreed 10 purchase their supplies. in
future. entirely from San Francisco
unless Portland withdraws its opposi-
ton TO the normals. This kind OF a
boycott is expected to be even more
effective than the one on the papers,
and as the southern oregon cities are
not such great distance from San
Francisco they can easily carry their
threat into execution without working
very much of a hardship upon them
selves or their patrons.

Weston viii Fight.

Now that the special session of the
legislature has been called the peo-

again present their claims before the
legislature. They are in hopes Of
securing maintenance until June II
they can do no better. To this end
the Westonans have collected in a
comprehensive form the arguments
I" favor Of sustaining the normals.
These will be published in the East
Oregonian tomorrow and copies of
the paper will be sent to all members
OF the legislature and to influential
men throughout the state.
In connection with the work that
is now underway G. w. Proebstel and
Clark Wood of Weston were here this
forenoon Mr., Proebstel came down
for the purpose Of enlisting the aid
of some local people in the work that
will be done when the legislature con-

abolish inferior courts.

abolish inferior courts.
All this is but saying that the pro-
posed judicial amendments are in the
for a progressive, growing state for
the purpose of expediting justice. The
northern part of the state is gaining in
population, which will bring increased
litigation. The proposed amendments
represent the conservative and best
digested thought of the state after ten
years of discussion and agitation, hav-
ing received the sanction of two con-
sentative legislatures, and they have
the unqualified support of such men
as Mr.. Charles HI. Hartshorne, who
has written a book on the courts of
New Jersey and whose unselfish devo-
ton to the public good is unquestioned.
Opposition, if Any.
None that has been openly stated
Undoubtedly preference will always
exist for different system from the
one proposed. owing partially to a
thorough and accurate knowledge of
the subject and partially to that feel
ing that what has been good enough
in the past should not be changed,
but the real opposition, if any, should
and will come from those litigants,
aggregations of wealth, who find in
the present system of courts ready
and powerful weapon in the hands of
trained and skillful lawyers to tire
their less fortunate adversary by APP
peals, delays, uncertainty and con-
fusion until the deserving litigant may
be ready to take what is offered in
settlement without much regard for
the justice of his demands.
This class of opposition, if any, will
not assert itself in the open, but will
use the inertia and indifference of the
people, aided by individual opponents
and doubtless under cover of some or
CARNATIONS, to accomplish the defeat
of the amendments.
If there is one thing more important
than another for the state to provide
it is that the means of obtaining JUS
tice should be prompt and expeditions,
with no unnecessary delays and I'M
certainties. 1t is believed by those
who have given the subject the best
thought that the adoption of the pro-
posed judicial amendments will great
ly aid in this object and tend to keep
New Jersey up to her ideal standards.

brought either in the supreme court
/ fried at the county seat with jury
or in the county court. The procedure
shall be in accordance with the rules
of practice and procedure prescribed
by statute as now or, in the absence
of statute. by the supreme court-a
most important provision for the
prompt and effective disposition of lit
igation because the court itself is the
best qualified expert body to regulate
the mere formal procedure of a law
suit, developed by actual experience as
observed in the trial of cases. This is
modelled after the present English sys-
i TEN.
What Will the State Gain7
First.-The reasonable certainty as
to jurisdiction by the court of the pro-
posed litigation. which now is confused
and uncertain In considerable class
Of litigated cases, sometimes requiring
a protractea litigation to ascertain
whether the litigant is in the right
court before the real controversy over
the subject matter of a lawsuit Is
actually commenced.
Second.--A greater elasticity and
fiexibility in the formal procedure. The
unwary and inexperienced cannot be
so easily checkmated. The court it.
self will have the power to prescribe
the practice and procedure In the. abb
sense of statute.
Third Greater simplicity.
Fourth.-Preyenting unnecessary de-
lays on appeal. One appeal only from
the trial court; now there may be two
in large class of cases in which the
litigants Of moderate means FREEDOM
mate, one by writ of error Of the SUI
preme court and then second APP
peal by writ Of error to the court Of
errors and appeals. So two appeals
may be had in some cases from the
orphans court.
Fifth.-A greater volume Of business
can be transacted by the same number
of judges than is now possible. This
will be true especially in the appel
late court, and in those parts of the
state where the trial work is longest
ed the judges can be readily adjusted
to business.
Sixth.-The sweeping away of many
of the meaningless cobwebs which
hang over the courts and the unneces-
sary formalities.
Seventh.-By those who have made
the calculation it is said that it win
be saving to the state Of $35, 900
per year for judges salaries.
Eighth. The proposed amendments
will give unity and balance to the

Ninth. They leave untouched the

out jury and said to man you must
do so and so or refrain from doing so
and SO, while the latter tried cases
with jury and never said to a man
he must do or not do particular
thing, but only that he must pay dam
ages if he failed in his duty. Now,
it often happens that in order to do
complete justice the court Of chan
Gerry ought to make man pay dam
ages or a court of law ought to tell him
exactly what he should do or not do.
To accomplish this at present requires
two suits, one in chancery, one at
law. Then, again, 1t sometimes hap
pens that man makes a mistake and
goes into chancerysswhen he ought to
proceed in a court of law. 1t is these
difficulties which seem to have led to
the adoption of paragraph of section
5. This paragraph authorizes the SUI
preme court to provide by rule for the
transfer of a cause or issue (Which
mean the same thing from the law
division to the chancery division, or
from the chancery division to the law
ulNlclUll, OEeIEOul lue county court TO
either division, and for the giving of
complete legal and equitable relief in
any cause in the court or division
where it may be pending. The object
is to have the whole matter finally set
tied in one suit.
Paragraphs and of section 5 hard
ly seem to need explanation. One re-
quires justice of the supreme court
to hold courts in the several counties.
That is done now. The other author
ICES the legislature to alter the powers
and jurisdiction conferred on any
court since 1914. This date is fixed
because our present constitution,
which was adopted in that year, pre-
serves intact the then existing juris-
diction. But for this provision it
might be said that the legislature could
not hereafter change the powers which
the courts now have in 1909. In short,
this paragraph seems intended to pre-
serve all the present rights of the leg
islature to change the power of the
courts.
Stated briefly, the object of section
seems to be to simplify and expe-
dite legal proceedings.

HEAVY SHOWER At HAMPTON.
Long Dry spsli Broken and Crop
Greatly Benefited.

SpeClal TO IlInes-ttepuDllCan.
Hampton. Aug. 12-Another heavy
shower fell here this morning. and fol-
lowing the one which came Monday
night, has proved of great benefit to
the crops.
For more than two weeks only TWO
small showers had fallen and they did
not amount to much. While this had
been a good in many ways, giving the
farmers an opportunity to get their
hay stacked and the oats INTO shock
or stack almost without particle OF
moisture. yet these crops safely in
store, a good rain was needed for the
corn, potatoes. beets and other farm
crops. This latest downpour Will go a
long way toward carrying the growing
crops thru to their maturity.
The hay crop that has been put up
in this county this season is probably
one of the largest that has ever been
saved here, and the favorable weather
at the time made 1t possible to get II
harvested In tho best of condition.
Judging from the oats that have so far
been threshed, the Indications are that
the yield will not be quite up to the
average, altho 1t is reported In one in
stance, that the yield was about fifty
bushels to the acre
Another heavy shower fell this morn
ing. following several days of very hot
and oppressive weather.
