Case Dismissed.
(Special to Evening News.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. The su
premo court this afternoon ruled un
favorably to tho Willamette Vallev
Lumbermen's fight for lower freight
rates. 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. By the use
oi maenme guns at the uncomfor
tably short range of only one hun
dred yards, a party of Americans
and insur rectos are reported to have
utterly routed a force of Navarro's
army near Stlgnacie. Couriers ar
riving here say that the federalists
walked into the trap set for them,
and when they found themselves in
the ambush fled in disorder from
tho field. While information given
out at Navarro's headquarters de
clares that only a few shots were ex
changed, it is generally believed that
the olficial explanation Is inspired
by hope and not by what Is really
known of the fight.
Federation Wins Point.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. The su
preme court this afternoon dismissed
the civil suit Involving difficulties
between the American Federation of
Labor and the Bucks Stove and
Range Company, of St. Louis. This
decision does not effect tho status of
the contempt cases pending against
President Gompers, John Mitchell
and Secretary Morrison, of the Fed
eration.

Salem Statement Shortly after
midnight the twenty-sixth legisla
tive assembly adjourned sine die. 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

n-swimiuus wuiiiiuug every uouy con
nected with the session, including
the representatives of the press, the
members grew more sober and made
talks, telling of the friendships and
attachments formed during the ses
sion. Jerry Rusk thanked his fellow

speaker. "The newspapers have

.Many of tho members spent the
last hours visiting elsewhere, and It
would hnve been difficult to have
transacted business, had thero been
any. for lack of a quorum.
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

Judge Wonacott this afternoon as
