Pendleton does not want to see this
county divided at all. But of the two
evils Of course Hudson" county is
preferable to "Orchard."

ALSO there is need of a general law
cOnfining initiative elections for di-
vision and partition of counties to the
local territory affected. Electors of
the state do not possess the knowledge
required for intelligent voting on
these county questions
This is very true. a good way to
bring about the passage of such a law
will be for the people of the state to
vote NO" on every division bill that
is presented this fall.

ONE WAY TO DO 1T.

Commenting upon the multitude of
county division bills now proposed
the Oregonian had the following yes
terday:
Eight schemes for partition of
counties are. projected for the initi-
ative election next November, and the
erd is not yet Clark county is to be
carved out of Grant: Orchard and
Hudson counties out of Umatilla; Otis
county out of Malheur: Nesmith,
Umpdua and Williams counties out Of
Douglas and Lane: and a slice of
Ciackamas is to be annexed to Multi
nomah. Voters of the entire state are
to be called upon to legislate upon
these local matters. Boundaries Of
Orchard and Hudson overlap each
other; also boundaries of Nesmith,
Umpqua and Williams. Question now
vexing direct legislation statesman
ship is. what will happen from enact
ment of all these counties with con-
fhcting boundaries?'

FIND BADGERS HOARD
PARTY OF SPOKANE (WASH.) CAMP
ERS DISCOVER FORTUNE.
Gold and Silver Believed to Belong to
Eau Claire (Wis) Man Is
in Tree

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, June 23.-[Spe-
clall.-lnquiry is being made here for
one Claude Parsons or Parker. A party
OF campers from Seattle, Wash. were
engaged in hauling gigantic cedar log
upon the beach of Lake Washington TO
be converted into frewood when what
appeared to be a huge cork or plug al
tracted their attention. One ran for the
ak and the log was split into two pieces.
Lhe plug was found to have acted as n
door OF a safety vault where some logger
nearly twenty years ago had deftly hld-
den his accumulated savings. There were
$500 In gold, SGS in silver and $500 in
currency. Several money orders for 500
each were also rolled up inside the cur
rency. The name, though dim, on the
p0stofflce money orders, appears to be
Claude Parsons or Parker and they are
payable IN the postoffice at Eau Claire.
Wis. The date the money orders bear
is April 1891.
Efforts will be made to find the right
full owner of the hoard. Many stories
are told OF the prodigality with which
loggers handled their money in the hal
cyon days of logging. A favorite bank
was to make a boom augur hole in n
big timber. Into this hole was dumned
the gold, silver and paper and a big plug
tightly driven into the top of the hole,
The plug was then sawed off plumb with
the bark and the cached wealth left nm
til wanted. Many of these improvised
banks were swept away by floods or
were destroyed in forest fires

HAMERSLEY'S MONEY.
Millions in Litigation and Fat Pick
ing in Prospect for Law
yerS

NEW YORK, June 22.-Fifty law
yers, representing almost as many inter
ests, were present before Justice Black
mar in the Queens county supreme court,
Long Island city, when the initial steps
IN legal battle for the Hamersley mil
hons were taken. The action was opened
| by motion made by ROLAND Reed Ras-
quln, attorney for William Rasuuin, Jr.,
and Alfred III. Renshaw, executors of the
last will and testament of Lily Warren
Beresford. for the appointment of O ref
cree to make an accounting of the es-
tate OF the late Louis @. Hamersley and
to determine to whom the estate shall be
distributed.
1t IS said this action will determine
whether or not Louis Gordon Hamer-
sley. son Of the late J. Hooker Ham
ersley and cousin of the founder Of the
Hamersley fortune, is to inherit the es-
n 1a5e; oo estimated It ITO to be be worth from So
100000 to ST., 100000, or whether it is
| to be divided between the Mason heirs,
descendants Of the mother of the founder
| of the fortune.
A number Of papers were filed with
Justice Blackmar, who will announce the
appointment of a referee some time dur
| ing the present week. The voluminous
the will of Louis G. Hamersley gave all
his estate to his widow, who became the
Duchess of Marlborough, for her use
during life and at her death to the male
issue Of his cousin, L. Hooker Hamer-
sley. If there was no issue it was to
be divided among such charitable insti-
tutions as his wife might elect.
The lawyers who are engaged in the
case are divided over the proposition
| whether the provisions Of the will Civ
ing the property to Louis Gordon Ha-
mersley are valid.
The will of Louis G. Hamersley
named the late George G. Williams,
Jacob *. Lookman and Lily Warren
Hamersley, the wife, as the executors.
No final accounting by these executors
or the executors of their estates has ever
been fled Such an accounting is now
demanded. The petition declares that
the New York Life Insurance and Trust
company, which is the general guardian
of Louis Gordon Hamersley and which
| was made executor of the trust estate
on the death Of the Duchess Of MARI
| borough, the last surviving executor, Is
now possessed of large sums Of money.
The disposition Of this money is asked
| to be determined.

tory schools, provides q class of stu
dents who "do better" in college, G. P.

I do not know upon what authority such
a statement was made, but can easily be,
lieve it is true Preparation for college as
