Insists That Refusal of One County to Give to Road Fund Scheme Would Be Failure. SALEM. Or.. July 38. (Special. VL H McMahan. attorney for J. K. Se. plaintiff In the action to prevent the use of JlOO.000 state money In the Crater Lake highway, has filed his brief In the Su preme Court. The brief Is one of the shortest ever placed on record In tho Appellate Court of Oregon. After quot lng the title to the act. the brief says "The act shows that the money was appropriated In two sums of SoO.OCO each. one sum in Jackson County, one In Klam ath County, and each Independent of the otner. If Klamath County continues In refusing to appropriate 350.000, only $50, 000 of the appropriation will be expend ed, and that wholly upon one designated road in Jackson County. The act, then, will be exhausted when the 960.000 is expended on the designated road in Jack son County, and no provision is made for any other effort on behalf of this so- called state road. "The fact Is, the title of the act la law, deliberately written In for the pur pose of causing an unconstitutional act to muster past the constitutional Inhibi tion against appropriation money for special road In any one or more counties. There never was any Intention, either upon the part of the lobby, or of the Leg Islature, to construct a stats road from the Idaho boundary to the Pacific Ocean, and the body of the act Itself gives -the lie to the title thereof. Several authorities are cited and the claim Is made that the act Is In violation of subdivision 7 and 11 of section 23. act or the constitution.

This la a small outfit for actual railroad construction work, and if all equipment and supplies for a large camp are to be freighted in the same way. the Job is a tremendous one. On the other band. Harrlman contract ors get free rail transportation on equip ment and supplies almost to the common objective point. Grass Valley Is within 15 miles of the camp at Horse Shpe Bend, while Porter Bros. nearest steamer point Is The Dalles. 40 miles farther. To off set these odds there must needs be strat egy if Porter Bros, would block or hold up Harrlman. PORTERS LIBERAL IX MOXEY Pay Fancy Prices for Land In Wag ing War Against Harrlman.

DAMAGES TO BE ASSESSED Boom Company Prolongs Lntigatlon by Carrying Case Into Federal Court, Where It Is Dismissed for Lack of Jurisdiction. OLTMPIA. Wash.. July 26. (Special.) Washington's State Supreme Court today established the rule that dilatory legal proceedings may In instances become con tempt of court and the guilty party will be liable In damages to the other. This decision was rendered In the case of the Nicomen Boom Company against the North Shore Boom & Driving Com pany, which companies have for years been fighting In the state and Federal courts for the very valuable booming privileges of the North River In Paciflc County. W. W. Cotton, of this city, Is attor ney for the Nicomen Boom Company, in whose favor the decision referred to In the foregoing dispatch was rendered. In behalf of his company, Mr. Cotton several months ago instituted a suit against the North Shore Boom & Driv ing Company, which had established a log boom on the same stream just above the plant owned by the Nicomen soom Company. An injunction was asked ermanently restraining the rsortn Shore Company from continuing the operation of Its plant, on the ground that it seriously Interfered with tne operations of the Nicomen Company. The state court granted tne injunc tion, which was sustained on an appeal to the Supreme Court. Dissatisfied, the North Pacific Coast Company furnished supersedeas bond, which proved de fective, and appealed its case to the Federal Court. The United States Court subsequently dismissed the proceeding for the reason that It was without jurisdiction. In the meantime the North Coast Company continued the operation of its plant, disregarding the Injunction which had been granted by the state court and sustained by the appellate tribunal. Under the provisions of a contempt statute. Attorney Cotton then brought suit against the Individual members of the North Shore Company for the recov ery of damages alleged to have resulted to his client's property by reason of the continued operation of the North Shore plant In defiance of the Injunc tion. He alleged that the defendants had resorted to dillatory legal tactics purposely to prolong a final decision in the case that they might the longer qperate their plant. Oil this proceeding the trial court found for the defendants, contending that the evidence did not show that the defendants had Intentionally placed themselves in contempt of court or nad deliberately disregarded the court's In junction. Mr. Cotton appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which reverses the lower court and holds that the plaintiff company Is entitled to recover for damages. The defendants, how ever, will not be liable to fine or Im prisonment on the contempt charge. Mr. Cotton aaid Oast .night- that -hia.
