No more Indennities
For Diseased Stock

No more indemnities will be paid
by the state for cattle condemned and
killed ON account of tuberculosis and
horses condemned and killed on ae.
count Of glanders, according to an an
nouncement made by DR.. W. H. Lytle,
state veterinarian, who has just return
ed from attending meeting of the
state livestock sanitary board at Klam-
ath Falls. The board passed an order
to this effect, making it effective July
10. The order was necessary as the
state funds for this purpose have be-
come exhausted.
Another order passed by the board
provides that all sheep offered at dis
posal sales in the Willamette valley
must be dipped before the sale, while
all sheep which have been scabby at
any time during the year must be held
four months before being sold.
The board appointed DR.. Julius Sor-
ensen of Hillsboro as assistant state
to succeed DR.. C. NJ. Gar
dner, os Portland, who has entered
service.
W. X. Taylor Of Corvallis was elected
president Of the board,

In the event that State Engineer
Lewis resigns it is considered fore.
gone conclusion that Percy A. Cupper,
assistant state engineer, will be ap-
pointed to succeed him, as Cupper is
the republican nominee for water su-
perintendent of the western Oregon
district and he says he can handle the
duties of the state engineer and the
water superintendent for the salary of
the state engineer, which is $4,000 a
year. This would result in saving the
salary of water superintendent, which
is $24O0 year.
Mr.. Lewis was first appointed state
engineer by Governor Chamberlain in
1905, when the office was created. He
was reappointed, and after the office
became elective, was twice elected. The
law was again changed and the office
becomes appointive the first of next
January.

CASE IS
REVERSED BECAUSE
OF INSTRUCTIONS"
Company Alleged Fraud In
Connection With Renew
dOf Policy

The supreme court today reversed the
case of Pansy Beebee Davidson VS. Sc
curity Life Insurance company of Am
erica appellant, and remanded the easo
to the circuit court of Lane county for
retrial. In an opinion written by JUS
tiee Benson, the court holds that Cir
cult Judge Skipworth made errors in
his instructions to the jury.
The suit was brought by Mrs Dav-
idson to collect $1,000 insurance policy
left by her husband, who died in 1915.
The company refused payment on the
grounds that Davidson had practieed
fraud upon the company in connection
with having the policy revived after
it had lapsed. The jury which heard the
case awarded the plaintiff the verdict
she sought, and the insurance company
appealed.
Other opinions were handed down as
follows:
Ella ]. McLennan, appellant VS. Evan
MeLennan; appealed from Multnomah
suit for modification of divorce de-
cree; opinion by Justice Benson; de-
cree of Circuit Judge Davis modified.
Feeney & Bremen company appellant
VS. G. F. Stone; appealed from Tilla-
NOOK; suit submitted on reargument;
opinion by Justice Burnett; former
opinion sustained.

Thompson; appealed from Multnomah;
suit to enjoin defendant from operat-
ing mill race in CASTOR without being
covered; opinions by Justice Burnett;

Marshfield and Port of Coos Bay; ap-
pealed from Coos; suit for damages for
of certain city lots and
destruction of trees thereon; opinion
by Justice Johns; Circuit Judge Coke

en- a voice in the selection of officers
and directors, a meeting will be called

will be held.
Mrs. A. S. Benson has volunteered
her services to take charge of the bus

The business of Willamette chapter

ceived or sent out to the hundred or
more auxiliaries, must be accounted for
and the business details necessary to
do this work is vastly greater than an
average business.
