The cross-stato rond would extend from Crime, in Harney county, westward to Crescent to connect with the Cas cade lino of the Southern Pacific. - Tho matter was first argued before tho lato Circuit Judge Prank S. Diet rich and two Oregon Judges Septem ber 20 and 30. Judge Dietrich died three days later, and because three Judges must hear constitutional mat ters of this sort and all three must concur in tho opinion handed down, a second hearing was necessary. Tho re-hearlng was held December 0 In Portland before United States Circuit Judge Prank H. Rudkln and United States District Judges Robert S. Bean and John H. McNary. The Judges took the matter under advisement.

And will be attended to with a quiet, un assuming confidence that is truly comforting. WALKER'S FUNERAL SERVICE 51H AT SPRING ST. PHONE 42 jliiiiiiiiilgf Tho railroad company contended that the interstato commerce com mission does not have' the consti tutional right to demand a railroad to construct an additional line, that the proposed Hue would not be a mat ter of public necessity or convenience, and that the company would not receive adequato return from its In vestment. Joining the O.-W. R. Ac N. as Intervening petitioners were tho Southern Pacific company and the HiU lines. Joining forces as Intervening de fendants In the injunction suit the public service commission of Oregon and public utilities commission of Idaho set forth three allegations in their Joint brief in federal district court before the final hearing. They were: ..... First, tho interstato commerce act vests in tho interstate commerce commission full power to require a railroad company to build additional lines. Second, the order requiring the O. W. R. & N. to build in no way violates tho federal constitution. Third, tho order was based upon tho convenience and necessity to vir tually the entire area of Oregon aud much of Idaho, and would provide tho first rail transportation for one of the largest undeveloped portions of the United Stotes. Hrlef Prepared The brief was prepared by I. H. Van Winkle, attorney general of Oregon; William Ellis and William C. Mc culloch, solicitors for the public servtco commission of Oregon; W. D. GUlls, attorney general of Idaho, and J. M. Thompson, solicitor for the public utilities commission of Idaho. The brief contended that the route of the proposed line was first surveyed more than 20 years ago pur suant to instructions by the late E. H. Harrlmon. who had laid out a defintnte plan of development for Oregon. The brief went into detail to show the topography of Oregon, its un broken mountain ranges, barriers to transportation, its great pine and fir forests, which are growing over-ripe for lack of rail transportation; Its rich valleys and coastal plains, which can produce vast quantities of agri cultural products, but which are only partly productivo at present be cause of need of markets. From the Columbia river south ward to Rose v Ills. Cal., more than 000 miles, there Is not a single east west rath jad which gives Oregon and Northern California the trans portation necessary for development. wie unei aeciarea. i Cattlemen Contention ! D;iiry regions of the coast aand In- ' terior valleys are too rich to grow f hav for tbeir own consumption, but :;reiU stretrhw f irrlahle In nil m Central and Eastern Oregon could well pupply this hay if roll facilities were provided, the brief said. At pres ent cattlemen of Harney county cither drive their stock overland to Wlnne mucca, Nev., 250 miles away, for ship ment to San Francisco, or ship by way of Burns eastward for 160 miles, then northward and westward around tho borders of Oregon to the Portland market. Cattlemen estimate that a cross-state railroad line .would in crease the value of their stock as much as $10 a head. The transportation needs of the various counties affected by the or der are described in tietalL Harney county, larger than the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island combined, Is sorely In need of bet ter transportation facilities to mar ket the products of its rich Irrigable lands, totalling 236,000 . acres, the brief stated. f . I. C. C. TO APPEAIj cask WASHINGTON Jan. 30 ' (fPi Chair man Bralnerd of the Interstate com merce commission! said today tho commission undoubtedly would carry to the supreme court an appeal from the decision of the federal court in Oregon denying the commission's power to require construction of a new railroad across that state. The Issue arose from a petition of Oregon state, asking that the Union Pacific system, through the Oregon Washington Railroad & Navigation company, bo compelleo to build against its own objection 185 miles of railroad from Crane to Crescent Lake, Oregon. - The territory now is practically devoid of rail service. " The railroad's objections wero based in part on tho doubtful possibilities of earning a return on tho outlay which was estimated aa being $16.- ' 000.000 but more largely on the question of the commission's author ity. "Tho commission, having made tho order, will undoubtedly seek to have tho question of its authority settled by the supreme court," Chairman Bralnerd said. "However, the final decision In tho matter of an appeal will rest with the attorney genera), who has com plete control of these proceedings. Tho commission in due course, after considering the full findings of the district court and the suggestions of itB own law officer, will furnish tho department of Justice with such co operation as It may desire in get ting a final adjudication."
