The alignment of attorneys repre senting the opposing factious present ed noticeable anomalies, considering chiefly from the viewpoint of a coii , flict between Cass street interest on one hand and those of Oak and Jackson Btrcets on the other.

Attorney Cosbow explained the nreselit location of tile bridge at Lane street, lie said the County Court of ::o years ago wulited to place the liriil'ee at Oak street, considering it i the Inuirul place, but the threat of nn in iiiiii-t ion suit from a ferry oper ator there mid the desire to avoid the delay of a lawsuit, coupled witn a free lifter of laud from Itev. .1.

Coshow said, it was far more desirable to build it there today be cause of the gn at increase in pupula- new bridge should be built with speclnl reference to that one particu lar place of business. Hut when you build bridges, gentlemen of the court, you are not to represent private busi ness interests: you should consider the wishes of the whole people from the standpoint of general public ac comodation. If you doubt the law on thlB question give ua an opportun ity to Bettle the matter before the proper tribunal. Watson Ituiw-s Iegal Point. In opening for the remonatratora, Attorney Watson attacked Coshow's suggestion, that the matter be threshed out In a trial court, declar ing that Coshow was trying to use the County Court as a cat'a paw In order to get a chnnce to try out hla legal theories" ut the expense of his clientele. Watson contended that it was not a question a to where the new bridge would be built, but a question as to whether the court had a legal right to bflild a bridge any where except at Lane street. Watson cited the act of tne Ore gon Legislature In 1905, enabling the ctly to extend her boundaries, In which law it was provided that the County Court should nmjntaln "the" bridge across the river (not specify ing any particular location), but giving exclusive Jurisdiction of abut ting "roads" to the city of Roseburg streets." Watson inierprcieu it. i., nu tnuiitiitiir that the County Court was compelled to maintain the Lane street bridge and that It reBiea exclusively with the City of lloseburg to say whether a new bridge should he built nt Oak street.

Attorney Porter In presenting ob jections as to why an order should not be grunted culling for an election said iu part: "This is only a scheme of the liquor interests to fill Eden bower up with saloons und to make It a place where vice may flourish. This is evidenced by the fact that the at torney representing the petitioners is a stockholder iu the brewery of this city and has represented them in all their legal cases." Several person ulilles were Indulged in during the argument on both sides, Attorney Hermann iu presenting the petition positively denied the al legations of the unnoslt Ion mid asked Mr. Porter to show any proofs upon s which to base his charges.
