most lucrative law practice in the
Capital City of Oregon. For many
years his practice has extended into
the courts of Alaska. This is due to
the fact that the code of Oregon was
early adopted as the statute of that
territory. With the code went the
methods of practice and pleading fol-
lowed in the Oregon courts. Mr.. Car
son has had single cases in the United
States courts of Alaska involving
property worth millions of dollars, and
he has received the largest retainer
ever given to a lawyer in this city.
His methods of fighting cases in courts
and before jury are strenuous. He
leaves nothing undone in the prepara;-
ton or presentation of a lawsuit in
which he is engaged. Mr. Carson en-
joys the confidence of a large client
age and is also a very popular man
among the great mass of the people.
This was evidenced by his election to
the state senate in 1910 by a large
majority. although he refused to bind
himself by any pledges whatever ex-
cept his general reputation as citizen
and member of the legal profession.
Carson & Brown have a suite of Of
fees and a large library on the sec
ond floor Of the United States National
bank building.

Thomas M. Brown.

Thomas M. Brown is the modest as
sociate of Senator Carson in the law
firm Of Carson Brown. Like his
partner, he enjoys the advantages of
having received classical education
for the bar, and Is considered one of
the most scholarly brief writer's in
this state. After he has examined the
authorities and summed up the cita-
tions upon which he relies into para
graphs of clear, lucid and unamblgu-
GUS English there is no occupant of
the bench who has the slightest diff
ficulty in comprehendig what he seeks
to convey, hence this firm has been
uniformly successful with important
cases in the circuit and supreme
courts. Mr.. Brown is at the head of
the Catholic Order of Foresters, and
has very wide acquaintance in the
county. Mr. Brown is city attorney
for the town of Mt. Angel and Sill

Among the larger public buildings
to have been either finished or begun
during 1911 may be mentioned the
armory, the Jason Lee church, the
new library. the high school annex,
new buildings at the asylum, and the
Bligh theatre, all splendid additions
to the city.
Taken as a whole the year 1911 has
been a very bright one for Salem.
Many new corners have settled in her
midst, scores of new homes have gone
up, hundreds of pieces Of land have
changed hands, substantial buildings
have been erected and many new pro-.
jects have been launched that will
bear fruit in 1912. If all the coming
years are as good to Salem as has
been the one now drawing to a close
she will have her $4,000 in 1915.

TWO FIGHT TO BOSS
ONE LITTLE SCHOOL.
in Hawthorne Is in a
Quandary.

HAWTHORNE, Feb. 6.-When the
school commissioners meet tomorrow
night there will be a fight between
Leslie X. Chance and William II. Gren-
ellie that Will sound like the verbal pre-
llminarles to a real pugilistic combat.
Each man claims the job Of principal
Of the village school.
The trouble started several months
ago, but nom of the villagers has told
out-of-town friends, fearing the story
might reach the Newspapers. Grenelle
and the commissioners were at odds.
He was informed his services were not
required. He quit and got a position
in Haworth, Bergen county. Chance
was appointed In his place last March.
A few days afterward new trustees
We're elected, making the majority on
the board friendly to Grenelle. At the
April meeting Chance was discharged
and his predecessor relnstated. Chance
demonstrated. but the commissioners
were firm. On advice of his attorney,
Albin Smith. Chance reported every day
at the school, though Grenelle bossed
Ii. Chance appealed to Charles j. Bax-
ter, State superintendent of schools,
and a decision In his favor was given.
Neither principals contract will expire
until June, 1912. Chance demands re-
lnstatement, but Grenelle refuses to
surrender the royal mace. The commits
sioners are so worried they threaten to
resign their cherished positions.

SEYLER, ACQUITTED OF
MURDER, FIGHTS IN JAIL.
On Eve of Trial on Robbery
CHARGE Has Bout.

MAYS LANDING, Feb. civilian
Seyler, the young man who some time
ago was acquitted Of the charge of
numbering Jane Adams at the million
dollar pier, is reported to have had a
fight with another prisoner on the eve
of his trial on the charge of having
robbed a store in Atlantic City.
An unprecedented occurrence in this
county viii be the arraignment OF Sey-
leI and Jacob Freas, both of whom have
been acquitted of murder in this court.
Freas is accused of having beaten his
wife in Atlantic City, after he returned
from Massachusetts, where he served a
Jail term subsequent to his acquittal on
the charge of numbering his uncle, Alb
SALON. Magee.
Both murder trials were based on cir
c~umstantial evidence, and the murders
have never been cleared Up, Both men
are afraid that h juries will be biased
in their verdict.
Persistent rumors that Seyler was i'm
plicated in a fight with another prisoner
in the county jail were denied by the
sheriff and the Jail wardens. 1t is
thought that the matter is being kept
quiet to prevent knowledge of 1t reach
ing the Jurymen who are to try Seyler
today on the robbery charge.
