The court decided that the Interstate Commerce Commission ex ceeded its jnrisdicion in attempting to fix the rates on lumber shipments from points in the valley to San rrancisco. i no rates placed on lum ber products were considered pro hihitive by the manufactures in Cen tral Western Oregon, who. In order to market their lumber, were com pelled to compete with manufactu ers at coast points in Washington and Oregon, as well as the mills at Portland, all of whom enjoyed low- rate to California points, lumber shipped from Portland being for less than that from upper valley points. It was to equalize this rate that ac tion was commenced, but the su preme court has decided that the commission had no jurisdiction. Diaz Troops Defeated. EL PASO, Feb. 20.

In some respects this session of the leg islture has been a remarkable one, distinguished for the largo amount of money appropriated and the flood of bills of minor importance that consumed its time. There was but one matter of supreme Importance that came betoro the assemblv, and that was the good roads legislation. During the evening session the senate considered many bills of Im portance, including the good roads bills as they left the house. In the house no business was transacted ex cept reading of mesages from the senate and tho concurring in minor amendments made by tho upper house. The representatives, after passing resolutions for overtime pay for the various employes connected with the house, decided to improve tho time In having a good time. For three' hours a fareinl discussion of the ' Simpson appointment bill was on the boards and tun members had a mer-I ry time of It and all sorts of mo tions were made and ruled upmi. i M( Kinney and Brooke in discussing: the hill which projMJsed to cut down1 tho representation of Multnomah ! county to nine members extnlled tho advantages of Eastern Oregon.

Notwithstanding the Indefinite postponement of the bill authorizing tho county court of Douglas county to exeeuto a deed conveying certain land, known as the fair grounds, to tho Roseburg Park & Fair Associa tion, by the legislature, County Judge Wonacott this afternoon as serted that he believed the court has the power to execute such a deed under the laws of Oregon.
