The tug Astoria, belonging to the
Simpson Lumber Company and
which was brought here from the
Columbia river a year or so ago to
lake the place of the tug Columbia
when she was condemned, was yes
terday condemned by Inspectors
Weldon and Ames. She Is said to
hare been In even a worse condition
than the Columbia when she was
relegated from bar or sea service a
jear ago and the Inspectors would
not permit her to return to North
Bend under her own steam. She
nas towed up late In the day.
L. J. Simpson stated today that
the company had not determined
hat they would do, but that they
are now endeavoring to charter a
tug for service here. If this cannot
be done, they may build a new one
o- endeavor to repair the Columbia
or Astoria. Whether it would pay
to repair and overhaul either of
them cannot be determined until
they are docked.
For the time being, the tug Glean
er of Gardiner will probably handle
the bar service here.

ter, president of the Brotlierhood
Railroad Firemen and Enginemen,
would not say he would order the
men to strike If an unfavorable re
ply was received. He said he would
leave that to a committee.
The prospective great railroad
strike was decried today when a
prominent railroad official, speaking
ing for the forty-seven railroads in
volved in the firemen's wage con
troversy, declared thero Is no
chance of a "walk out." The rail
road managers committeo is meet
ing today," said tho official, "and
the firemen's letter will be taken
into consideration. It is not likely
the railroads will change their atti
tude. It it Is a question of yielding
we might consider it, but to sub

seniority would be violating our

Railroad Engineers."

Attorneys In Watkins-Sned-
don Slander Litigation Hold
Different Views.
Has Geo. Watkins secured a de
fault judgment against Chas. Sned
don in his $5,000 damage suit?
This ls the question that is caus
ing much discussion -today. F. W.
Reeder, attorney for Mr. Watkins,
maintains that he has Jf County
Clerk Watson has complied with tho
law and Harry G. Hoy, attorney for
Chas. Sneddon maintains that ho
has not. Both cite law to show that
the other ls wrong and Mr. Hoy has.
a letter from County Clerk Watson
in which he states ho did not enter
the judgment because Judge Coko
had overruled tho motion.
Mr. Reeder says that ho compiled
strictly with the' law in tho case and
that there is no alternative for
County Clerk Watson as tho 1909
statutes of Oregon stato that tho
county clerk "shall" enter the judg
ment. Whether this is one of tho
cases when "shall" may bo inter
preted as "may" will probably bo
determined when at tho next torm
of court tho court Is asked for tho
final decree,
Mr, Hoy maintains that there Is
absolutely no foundation for tho
story that Watkins has obtained a
default judgment of $5,000 against
Mr. Sneddon. Ho says that tho stat
utes provide differently and cites
thoni to prove It. Also that Mr.
Reeder's contention has absolutely
no effect on the final outcome of tho
litigation.
As near as a layman can got at
the proceedings, It seems that when
tho summons of the suit was filed,
no answer was made to the petition
but Mr. Hoy canio In with a motion
to strike out the complaint. This
was argued and his motion was
overruled. Meanwhllo no answer
had been filed and tho time allowed
elapsed. No extension of time being
asked, Mr. Reeder maintains that ho
simply filed tho motion for Judg
ment by default" and that under
tho law the clerk must enter It and
as such It will sand unless set
aside by an order of the court.
Mr. Hoy maintains that such a
motion caunot prevent tho trial of
the case before a Jury at tho next
term of circuit court.
Saturday, Tho Times erred slight
ly In reporting the case In stating
that the Judgment had been render

'have stated according to Its Infor
mation, It was entered by County
