Ore.; Oct. 7.— The Keed will case, which has been hanging. fire for a long time In the courts here, will come before the supreme court of Ore gon on appeal from the circuit court of Multnomah on October 11. The su preme court decision will be final und if the decision of the lower court is affirmed It will mean, that the state of Oregon,'- probably Portland, . will re ceive about $1,000,000 for the establish ment of a great : educational • Institute. As Mrs. Amanda W. Reed's death occurred, at Pasadena, the helra-con tended that the testament should . be probated under the laws of California. These ; provide that only one-third of an estate ' may be bequeathed to char itable enterprises. ■■ It has been.main tained by. the. opposing counsel, how ever, that while Mrs. Reed was. at the time of her death living in California, she still maintained her legal domicile In Portland, and, that the wlir should therefore be probated here. ■ The estate is that of S. G. Reed, for many years one of Portland's . promi nent citizens. He came to, this city In early days, and his wealth was the result of his dealings In the transpor tation business. As his health failed, he left Portland In 1893 and went to Pasadena, wh«re he died. ■ He- had, however, continued a resident here, be ing a member of the city water board, and his will was. admitted to probate in this' county. In bequeathing $1,000,000 of the es tate to what is to be known as the Reed institute, .Mrs.. Reed Is carrying out the wishes of her husband. It was Indicated who the trustees of the Insti tution should . be, the only provision of the will being that it ba located some where In Oregon. As three courts have already handed In the decision that Mrs. Reed's domi cile was In Oregon, and as one of these was a California court, the friends of the Reed Institute are reasonably Bute that this decision of the court of last resort wlll.be favorable to the will.
