A Valuable Well.

There is a story of a man who
thought he had struck oil on his
land and hastened to carry bottle
of the promised treasure to chem
ist for analysis. At the moment of
departure from his home he was
hurried and took the first bottle at
hand, for this is the notice he re-
ceived in due time from the chemist:
"I find no trace of petroleum.
You have struck salad dressing"

American Trees for Germany.

Thanks to the enterprise of Ger
man foresters, a new extension OF
reciprocity in trees between Europe
and America is under way. Norway
spruce and Scotch pine have been
brought to America and have thrived
here. Our own white pine, black
walnut and other trees have been
successfully established abroad; and
now the Germans are about to in
troduce the Montana larch.
In foreign countries, as is well
known, forest tracts are often owned
and managed by m .fnicipalities as a
paying investment and as prominent
source of supply for local consump-
tion; but in America planting by
cities other than for purposes of
park adornment is rarely met with.
The development of our own white
pine in the hands Of the German
nurserymen is worthy of note They
are now growing it on such a scale
that when it is wanted for planting
in it's own native habit they can Of
ten deliver young plants here for a
lower price than our own nursery
men will quote.
If the same result should come
from their experiments with the
Montana larch seedlings, we shall
have one lesson the more in the i'm
portance of tree conservation and in
the value of intelligently directed
forestry activities.

In the passing of Sarah McGregor
West, another of the now few pio-
neers who conquered the wilderness
and blazed the way for the march
of civilization, goes to that other
newer and higher life. She was
born at Erasmus, near Guelph, On
tario, Canada, July 12, 1882, and
had just passed the 18th milestone
when the end came. Her earlier
years were spent on the frontier in
the wilds of Canada. The OK team
was then luxurious mode of travel.
The wheat grown in the clearings
was carried to mill, and the -four
brought home on the back of an OK,
and the roads were COW tracks or
bride paths through the dense for
ests. Amid such surroundings her
strong and self reliant character
formed and strengthened, and re-
manned to carry her accomplishing
ly and bravely up to the gates which
open into the beyopd and which
have closed behind her
She was married to John G. West
(now deceased) at Hamilton, On
tario, August Is, 1855. The family
remained in Canada until the early
seventies when they came to the
United States, and to Portland in
1877. But few days after their
arrival all their earthly possessions
went up in smoke when the old Cos
mopolitan hotel burned. The family
then moved to Roseburg where Mr.
West engaged in business and a few
months later came to Salem where
Mrs. West had lived, practically.
ever since. Mr. West died in 1895
and since that time Mrs. West made
her home with her children here.
She was the mother of nine child
rem, and beside these she took to her
motherly heart a number of others
who We're brought up by her as
members of the family, among them
being Mrs. Minnie McCauley, of this
city. Mother Vests" house was
haven of refuge for the neighborhood
boys, for their hunger was appeased,
bruises both of body and mind
salyed and splinters and childish
worries removed. She bore uncom-
plainingly the worry and trouble of
bringing up a large family-never
complaining and never too tired or
too sick to think of and do for 9th
ers. Almost her last words, as her
children gathered at her bedside,
were: "Is everybody all right but
me?"
OF her nine children, four sons,
L. E., of Tacoma; John W., of Seat
tie; A. E., of Falls City, and Os-
wald, of this city, and one daughter.

GOES TO PEN
BECAUSE OF
ERROR IN PLEA
SUPREME COURT PASSES ON
PECULIAR CASE BUT AFFIRAIS
LOWER COURT BECAUSE
RECORD DISCLOSES NOTHING
TO&APPEAL FROM.

Because the plea of former jeop-
ardy interposed by Chester c. Halo
way against his second trial before
Judge Bronaugh of the circuit court
of Multnomah county on the charge
of assault with a dangerous weapon
was not formally read to the court,
and recorded in the journal the su-
preme court found itself powerless To
pass upon the merits of the plea it.
self and therefore affirmed the SEN
tence of the lower court, and Halo
way must serve a 10 year sentence
in the state penitentiary.
Holloway was indicted on the
charge of assault with a dangerous
weapon and at his first trial the jury
being unable to agree it was dis
charged. When he appeared for his
second trial he entered a plea of
former jeopardy as a bar, alleging
that the former jury had been dis
charged before it had sufficient time
to consider the evidence before 1t,
and that when discharged neither he
nor his attorney were present, and
therefore the proceedings were ir-
rergular. w..
Plea Must Be Oral and Recorded.
- The district attorney filed a mo-
tion asking that the sentence be af-
firmed as the pleas were not legally
interposed. The supreme court held
with him holding that under the state
law every plea to a felony must be
oral and recorded in the journal.
The practice, says the court, has been
to have the attorney prepare plea
and have the accused read it to the
court, and then if it is controverted
to try it out by jury, and if its YER
dict is for the defendant to discharge
him, and If not to proceed with the
case on it's merits. 1t is further
said that it is customary for the Judge
to have the plea recorded, but in this
case the plea was not read and there
fore not recorded, and as the appeal
was from the record must fail and
the sentence of the lower court af-
firmed.
Smith Case Affirmed. g,
The supreme court affirmed the
judgment of the circuit court of
Multnomah county in the case of
Nancy L. Smith against the Farmers
G Merchants Bank, defendant and ap-
pellant. The suit was brought to en-
join an execution issued by the de-
fendant against a lot owned by the
plaintiff. Mrs. Smiths husband had
purchased the lot, and was indebted
to the bank but it was being paid
for by the wife's money. While the
deed was in the husbands name the
wife contended that she was unaware
of this and that the money invested
in the lot was hers and therefore not
liable for the debt. The contention
was sustained by the supreme court.
But one other case was decided
that of Frank e. Hodgkin, appellant
against John Boswell. from Malhuer
county. The action was brought to
remove a cloud upon title and the
Judgment of the lower court reversed.

in GROCERY PLEA

Birmingham, Ala, Sept. 16.-Judge
Grubb of the federal court yesterday
gave general charge for the defend
ants in the suit of Minton G. Clabaugh
against the Southern Wholesale Gro
GERS Association, it's officers and a
number of members, the suit being
for $15O,00O, the plaintiff alleging that
the defendants forced him out of bust

under consideration a compromise
made by the plaintiff in similar suit
in the state court, settlement being
for ten thousand dollars. Attorneys
for the plaintiff will appeal on the de-
cision to the circuit court of appeals.
The government has a suit against
the Wholesale Grocers' Association

HARRISON FAIR
PLANS DISCUSSED
Gulfport And Biloxi Anticipate Very
Large ndance.-Prepara-
tons Under Way.

Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 16.-Judge J. c
Elmer was in Gulfport yesterday and
took good view of the grounds fol
the county fair, to be held in Novem
Der.
According to Judge Elmer the fair
will be one of the greatest of it's kind
ever seen in this part of the country
Il visited the fair grounds said
Judge Elmer, land l was surprised to
see the progress being made in getting
things in readiness. The 40-acre
tract has been cleared and is now
practically inclosed. The stable,
poultry building and machine build
ings have been completed, and the
foundation is being laid for the main
building, which, believe, will be so
feet by $50. The buildings will be
so feet apart.
THE racetrack will be oval, and
half mile long. Work on the track
is progressing rapidly. The race
course will be fifty feet wide, with a
20-foot driveway on the outer edge.
1.-THE Glad Way will be a most
prominent feature of the fair. 1t will
be on the south side of the grounds,
just west of the machinery building
There will be unlimited space for at
fractions"
Mr.. c. j. Barrow, manager of the
Harrison Fair Association, is of opin-
ion that the ground, together with
all the buildings and race track will
be ready on or before October IS. Mr..
Goronfio Of the traction company,
states that work will be begun on the
trolley line running to the fair
grounds by October 1 and this work
will be completed within fifteen days
time.
One of the principal features Of the
fair will be the football game between
the team of the Tulane University,
New Orleans, and that of the Ala
bama Polytechnic Institute at Auburn,
Ala, two of the best colleges of the
South. The football field will be on
the Enclosure within the half mile race
track, and the game will be played
on November -.

A GAMBLERS RING.
When It's Owner Deals the Cards Are
an Open Book.

When lie Owner Deals the Cards Are
an Open Book.
| A curious ring seen recently is one
that belongs to a gambler. one Of the
most famous card players in the Unit
ed States. 1t is a heavy gold band af-
fair and is exactly five-eighths of an
Inch wide. Running around the band
! In such way as to completely circle
1t is row of five small signets. Each
one Of these is worked in gold In the
form of shield. These shields are
polished on their surface and bear no
marking of any sort.
Inside the ring and grooved into its
outer circle is another gold circle
When the ring is put on the operators
finger by a slight movement it is pos
stble to slide the outside band around
on the inner one. The instant this is
done from under one of the small
shields appears a minute mirror This
mirror is a scant quarter inch In diam.
eter.
When the operator sits in at a game
of cards he wears the ring on the little
finger of his right hand.
When he slides the cards Off the pack
as he deals this little mirror comes d.
rectiy under the card that is being
dealt The dealer. looking down at his
hands as be deals. sees each card as 1t
comes Off the pack. He knows each
card that be has dealt and exactly
who has the card
As the desler puts the pack down by
o movement either slow or fast 1t Is a
perfectly simple matter to give the
ring slight rub. sliding It back into
Its original position. The mirror. even
when it Is exposed. Is always on the
inside Of the hand and concealed from
every one. After long practice 1t Is
possible to pull every card off the pack
In such manner that 1t will reflect in
the exact center of the mirror.-Boston
