Odd Tangle of Relation ship Among Lawyers. THE DALLES, Or.. Aug. 19. (Special.) j- The application for an Injunction by tlia Deschutea Railroad Company against : the Oregon Trunk Line. Incorporated, ' Porter Rroa. et al., calls to mind the t close relations of soma of the attorneys ' and the two Judge thus far concerned In the lesTil fights of the rival railroad con tractors. Judge Butler, who dissolved the injunc tion ajralnst Porter Bros, at Moro, Sher- man County, was a law partner of Jay ' Bowffmnn, one of the Harrlman attor ' neys. and Attorney Uttlenuld. who ap- I peared with Mr. Bowerman, was former ly Judge of the district over which Judge Butler now presides. Judge Littlefield is : a brother-in-law of Judge TV. L. Brad : e-haw. of The Dalles, who has cited the : Oregon Trunk Line et al. to appear be ; fare him tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock nd show oause why the injunction should itiot he granted as prayed for. Porters Do Xot Worry. The Oregon Trunk people are not tak .faig the application for an injunction ser iously and are confident it will be de nied. "Why," said Johnson Porter In an 'Interview tonight, "how can we he re strained from using a right of way wo secured before the land was filed upon by the Smiths? The Oregon Trunk Line 'lias all the land It wants. 1 have been 'in the railroad building business for 26 years and have never been in a court -aiocse, but I am gaining my first knowl edge of law. "The newspapers are Inclined to give us the worst of it. and I want to tell you some of the things we are doing and are going to do. From Freebridge to where thy want to enjoin us is about 2 miles. We have three miles of wagon road "built and expect to finish about 20 miles mere In the next fifteen days at a cost not to exceed $20,000. We started 250 men on the work today and will have 400 men along the route In the next few days. "Seventeen horses arrived In The Dalles today, besides 62 cars, one and one-half miles of steel rails and two locomotors. "The Deschutes people claim they will nse 17 steam shovels, but as they will bave to be taken over a narrow wagon road, I dont tee how they will be able to use them. It takes 18 feet to clear the Jackarms of a steam shovel. They will have to bo taken through a 14-foot 'cut and over a 12-foot roadbed. Porter Bros, will be using steam shovels In 60 days on the lower end of the route, at the mouth of the Deschutes, where fuel la cheap and easy to secure, but we will not use steam shovels at other places on account of difficult transportation and not being able to secure fuel. $200,000 for Wagon Itond. "From Fherar"s bridge down the canyon for 15 miles we have men locating wagon roads. We expect to build a road for 25 Smiles from Tych Vatlry around Mutton (Mountain, which will shorten our hauling rJO miles. It will cost between $50,000 and i75.0uO to build this road, but we will fmave this amount m the first four months ttyt construction work. We will have to ixpend altogether about $200,000 In wagon roads. "The Oregon Trunk Line has six camps started clear of conflict, and the Des chutes Railroad Company has only two. Anyone who will take the trouble to go dver the route may easily see is do ing the most towards building a railroad up the Deschutes." The remark made by Mr. Porter that 11 that Is needed Is a connecting line at Portland gives color to the story that the Porters expect to extend the Oregon Trunk Line to that city.

Aug;. 10. (Special.) ' Two sisters will likely fight for 14000 worth of property left by Samuel J. Irwin, who died near Lebanon July 23 last. Irwin left a will giving his prop erty to Bessie Boyle, of Sodavllle, Linn County, but Luzena Hood, of Philomath, Benton County, has already taken steps to get her share of the estate. The only other heir Is a brother, John Irwin, of Watervllle, Wash-, who will receive nothing under the will, but who will share equally with his sisters If Mrs. Hood succeeds in breaking it. On August t Attorney J. Fred Tates, of Corvallis, representing Mrs. Hood, filed a petition in the County Court here, after ascertaining that no admin istration upon the estate had been be run, and secured the appointment of Luzena Hood as administratrix. Today Attorney Samuel M. Garand, of Leba non, representing Mrs. Boyle, produced a will in the County Court here, and upon it being proved. Judge Duncan admitted it to probate and ordered that the letters of administration heretofore issued to Mrs. Hood be revoked. Mrs. Boyle is now in the ascendancy and the only step Mrs. Hood can take to get a share of the properry Is to break the will. Whether this will be done or not has not been made public Fl rXDERTAKIXO STOKE PARTIAL LY DESTROYED. Powder and Fuse So Placed That De struction Would Be Complete. Place Insured. WOODBURN. Or Aug. 10. (Special.) A fire of mysterious character occurred early this morning at the undertaking: eirtablishment of Rev. J. C. Gregory, on North Front street. At 1J0 o"clock Nlghtwatchrnan Kelsey noticed the build ing on fire and sounded the alarm, and If it had not been for the quick action and hard work of the fire department the building would have been totally de stroyed. The fire boys succeeded In sav ing the main building, which was some what damaged, but the rear, containing a 500 hearse, was devoured by the flames. The casket stock and some fur niture also suffered from the fire and water. The fire evidently started in the back room or shed, from which to the main building had been bored holes through which fuse had been passed and led to a pile of pitch kindlings among the cas kets in the middle room. Near by was found a bag containing a Quarter pound of powder. The kindlings caught fire fter the fire had started in the rear, and the fire was soon extinguished. A large number of feet of common blasting fuse, some used, was discovered. The citizens of Woodburn are much in censed over the fact that a firebug has been at work in the community. If there had been any wind the loss would have been considerable. The owner of the building. Rev. J. C. Gregory, who recently started In business here, was at Xewberg, having started yes. terday morning to Join his wife, who had been visiting there. The news of the fire was telephoned him and he and his wife returned this morning. Gregory's property was insured for $3X0. payable to the mortgagee. This was the first night that Mr. Gregory had been absent from his place of business since opening the place. Sun day he preached at the Methodist Epis copal Church in this city in place of the regular pastor, who was absent. He was burned out at New-bent over a year ago. FISH GOING 10 WASTE TOO MAXY 6ALMOX FOR PACK ERS TO HANDLE. Only Half of Traps Operated and Tons of Catch Are Left Uncared For. BELLING HAM, Wash., Aug. 10. All salmon records were broken today when, with half of the traps lifted or filled with fish, the gill-netters and purse-seiners abandoning the work because they cannot dispose of their catch. 2.234,000 sockeye salmon were received at Belling haiu. Blaine, Anacortes and Fraser River canneries. Gunners are now making no effort to pack the whole catch, contenting them selves with speeding the machines and cannery workers up to the highest point and running for the whole 24 hours with out stopping. Prices have fallen to a point where seiners and netters cannot afford to fish, even if they could dis pose of their catch. Independent trapmen are raising their traiw. Canners axe only packing the fish taken in their own traps. Buyers are here from Columbia and Fraser River canneries, and carload after carload of salmon are loaded direct from scows, iced and dispatched in trainloads. As toria. Or., is securing hundreds of thou sands of fish here. At Blaine, on the International bound ary, counting of fish has been dicon tinued by trapmen and canners, scow loads only being tallied. Here thousands of tons of fish will go to waste while the hordes of salmon are passing lifted or filled traps and make their way to the Fraser unhindered. With the run at Its maximum at Blaine, it Is believed the tail of the run has reached the lower traps and salmon banks. O'BRIEN TAKES OCEAN DIP Railroad Man With Family Spends Day at Newport. NEWPORT, Or, Aug. 10. (Special.) Sunday was a busy day for all the peo ple in Newport. The only trouble the 600 excursionists had was in selecting what diversions might be indulged in during the five hours they had to enjoy between boats. The usual good weather enticed many into the water, and a great many went over the bar. J. P. O'Brien slipped in on a "special," and with Mrs. O'Brien and Miss LUlian O'Brien and guests.

The total attendance was TL WONUN WITNESS FITS ON STAND Probe of Supreme Court Scan dal Comes to Close Sud denly. ANSWERS NOT TO POINT Mrs. Sarah L. Brown Willingly Gives Very Little Information on Alleged Attempt to "Fix" ex-Member of Bench. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. m (Special.) The efforts of the Legislative- investi gating committee to determine whether Mrs. Sarah L. Brown actually attempted to "fix" Judge Root, of the Supreme Court, through the influence of B. a. Palmer were -brought to an abrupt ter mination this morning when Mrs. Brown fainted on the witness-stand. Yesterday P. F. Morrow testified that Mrs. Brown had interviewed B. Jt. Palmer a number of times in pursuance to the scheme of "framing; up" a deci sion which they wanted the Supreme Court to pass. Mrs. Brown when subpenaed at the afternoon session was reported ill. To day she appeared and took the stand acknowledging that she bad already had an interview this morning with her at tomey. Jay C. Allen. The woman made a very- poor witness. Her lapses of memory were numerous, especially when ever a member of the committee began to ask leading questions. Freuuently Mrs. Brown insisted on lier legal rights and after all other witnesses were ex cluded. Attorney Allen interrupted the session a couple of times to protest against Infringing upon any legal rights of his client. As nearly as could be learned she had agreed to finance the fight of Mollie Wilson for the Ballard portion of the Sullivan estate. As to the details of the later transactions, payments of money. Identification of people interested, dates, years, contracts deeds and practically everything else that was touched on, Mrs. Brown either was not sure or she 'did not exactly remember." Mrs. Brown denied emphatically that she was a figurehead for Dr. J. Eugene Jordan in the fight for this land in which the attempted bribery of the supreme Court is alleged. Her statements as to the interests of the different parties in the land flght, however, were so et variance and disjointed that the com mittee obtained very little definite infor mation from her. Finally when the members of the com mittee began pressing Mrs. Brown for more definite statements, the witness ap peared greatly perturbed. At last she answered uncertainly, If at all, and then lapsed for a moment into silence. Again the committee pressed her for answers to direct questions and Mrs. Brown fell back In her chair in a faint. The meet ing adjourned. PINCHOT LOUDLY CHEERED (Continued From First Page.) surface? The time for us to agitate this question is now, before the sepa rate circles of centralized control spread into the uniform, unbroken, nation-wide covering of a single gigan tic trust There will be little chance for mere agitation after that. No man at all familiar with the situation can doubt that the time for effective pro test is very short. If we do not use it to protect ourselves now, we may be very sure that the trust will give hereafter small consideration to the welfare of the average citizen when In conflict with its own." George S. Long, representing the lumbermen of the Northwest, himself connected 'with a big lumber concern In Seattle, denied that the Interests of the lumbermen are inimical to those of the consumer. He said that the lum berman is only trying to supply a healthy demand and that reforestation will begin in earnest when the demand has reached the high-price point. Teal Talks for Open Rivers. E. T. Allen, United States District Forester, brought applause upon him self when he appealed for safe and sane lumbering and the conservation of water. Addresses on this subject also were made by E. M. Griffith, of Wisconsin, and E. T. Campbell, of Canada. J. N. Teal, of the Joint conservation committee, made an appeal for the en largement of the scope of waterways on the Pacific Coast. He showed the possibility of making navigable the Co lumbia River for a distance of 2500 miles by applying the cost of a single battleship to the work. He declared that river transportation is the great est of automatic rate adjusters, and cited the case of Columbia River im provement recently made. J. E. Chilberg, president of the A-Y-P Exposition at Seattle, was a speaker In the afternoon. He invited the dele gates to attend the exposition, and con cluded! with an appeal for conservation through reforestation of the moun tains. Alex McPherson. secretary of the Idaho State Board of Horticulture, de scribed the methods in vogue in his state for irrigation. Tree Planting Urged. A resolution was offered which will be acted upon Thursday, urging upon State Legislatures that a proportion of the taxes of farmers : be remitted where these farmers shall have planted trees along the roads adjoining their property. Politics did not enter the lobby dis cussions today, but much comment was heard for and against the resolution which will be proposed by Secretary Hooker, of the board of control, asking a bond Issue of $5,000,000,000 by the National Government to be used as an irrigation fund which may be loaned to irrigators unable to carry out projects which need only financial aid to make them Immensely valuable. It Is expected that this resolution will call forth much discussion and opinions are pretty evenly divided. This afternoon the commercial bodies gave a parade illustrative of the commercial development of the Northwest. The parade passed a huge reviewing stand occupied by the delegates. Two other parades of a like character will be given before the end of the week. Youthful Hobo In Trouble. ALBANY, Or., Aug. 10. (Special.)

JUSTICE OF PEACE TELLS OF CURE BY CUTICURA "Mr baby boy was afflicted with eo Eema. It ran on him until he was fall of sores irom nis neaa to his feet. Even the bottom of his feet were full of cracks with the blood coming out. I be lieve that bis case was as bad as it generally gets, for he was bleeding all over and could not rest. He was too small to tell anything about it, only to fret and cry. We could get nothing to relieve him until we got the Cuticura Ointment and the first application of the Ointment put him to sleep. Then we used Cuticura Re solvent and Cuticura Soap and he con tinued to improve until cured. The boy is all right now and has been for the last seven or eight years. I believe that the Cuticura Remedies will cure all cases of eczema if used -right, as I know that they were the first things that gave our baby relief. T. J.

ALL GOVERNOR'S FAULT Three Men Escape Trial Because of Legal Holdings During Panic SALEM, Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.) "The discharge of a Jury without legal neces sity therefor, before verdict, will have the legal effect of an acquittal," Is the opinion of the Supreme Court in an order of reversal in the case of the State of Oregon vs. J. H. Turpln, C. H. Divine and J- C. Devine, a case of assault on a woman, tried in Linn County by Judge George H. Burnett. The trial of Turpin started on October 28, 1907, but was Interrupted the next day by the proclamation of legal holl- days. The holidays continued until De For some time we have carried a fair-sized stock of first quality nickel-plated bath fixtures. Lately the demand for these goods has become so great that we have had to increase our stock. Below we mention a few articles, which, quality considered, are priced lower than is usual with this class of goods, so take advantage of this sale: 24-inch Glass Bathroom Shelf 3.00 Glass Shelf for corner sink. .3.75 16-inch Towel Bar 65 24-inch Glass Towel Bar $2.00 Towel Bathtub Seats .$1.50 Swinging Towel Bar 80 Tooth Brush Holder 25 to 90 Tumbler Holder 1.00 Soap Holder for bath tub 75 .$2.20 Sponge 1.50 .1.25 ESTABLISHED 1865 cember 5, when three days intervened, which were not declared holidays. No court convened on those days, but a spe cial term of the court was set for Janu ary 24. 1908, at which the Sheriff was ordered to have Turpin ready for trial. On January 27 the cause was again called, but the defendant could not be found and the matter was continued until March 8. 1908, when, the defendant failing to ap pear, his bail of J1000, furnished by the Devines, was declared forfeited. Action was commenced to recover the bail money, the complaint reciting among other things that three judicial days had intervened during which no term of court was held and the Jury was therefore dis charged on the ground that, having been once In jeopardy, the defendant could not be again tried for this offense. The opinion, written by Justice McBride, holds that ''the defendant having been substantially acquitted by the discharge of the Jury without any physical or legal reason therefor, his presence in court at any subsequent time was not required. It is fair to the court below to say that this condition of affairs arose from an over sight of the Governor in not notifying the public that the holidays would cease . . . but this could not change the ef feet of law In this regard nor the status of the defendant.
