Arguing that the railroads power of 'eminent domain" would operate as a bar to increased rates;, John 11. Atwood, attorney for the western .shippers' committee, argued today oefore the interstate commission against the proposed advance. Atwood based his contention on the ruling of the supreme court oL ihe United States case of Wilcox against the Consolidated Gas com pany of New York, in which it held that it "concurred with the lower .ourt that the status of the property will bo determined when the iiupiiry was made regarding rates. If the property legally entering into the consideration of the rates increased in value since it was ncipiircd, tho company way entitled to the .benefits of such increase." Atwood argued the converse of the proposition. The railroads, he said, could not make the claim as lite gas company had done, because they were clothed with the power of "em inent domain'' with the gas company was not. He contended that the in vestor in railroad stocks knew when bo invested that the railroad could secure property much cheaper by ex ercising ito right of "eminent do main" und therefore lightly ex pected only a fair return for his. in vcbtmeu.

The De ath of THE OWNER MJUt Enables us to offer what we honestly believe is tbe best bargain in a producing orchard in the valley. There are 35 acres in the tract and it is only a mile from a shipping, station. & There are about 11 acres in apples, Ben Davis, AVincsaps, Spitzenbergs, Newtowns. Trees are about UO years old. They are in good condition and produce heavily. There are also about 12 acres in standard varieties of peaches, in full bearing. About 8000 crates of peaches were shipped from this orchard last year. There are also 8 acres planted to Newtown apples, which were three years old this winter. The balance of the land is cleared and was in grain last year. The buildings consist of a house, barn and packing house. We think treasonable estimate of the crop on this place this coming year would be 3000 to 4000 boxes of apples and 6000 to 8000 crates of peaches. A team of horses and a full equipment of machinery goes wtih the place. The price is $15,000, a trifle more than $100 an acre. The terms asked are half cash, balance easy. If you cannot meet these terms as to the cash required, make us an offer. SALEM, Jan. tS.
