SCENES OF COUNTRY LIFE IN THE ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
PORTLAND! ..limp 8. (Spfininl.)
Attorney Geiim.il ("run -ford, Judge
W. D. Fenton, Judge Lionol Wolistor
of Piirljaml arid Colvig mid Ronracs
of Modfont are represcntiiiB Hie t'ni
ter lake road commission in the suit
brought hy Attorney MeMahun for
J. K. Sears to declare the Crater lnke
mud state approrialion uneonsti-
tutional.
An amended complaint has been
filed bv Mi-Miihim which makes the
secretary of state a co-defondnnt. In
addition to this, the plaintiff alleges
thai Ihe legislature passed (he hill
setting it out in detail. Ihe same
charges are made as in Ihe original
complaint, and in addition thereto
the plaintiff alleges the appointment
of the Crater lake road commission.
.Und that the hill is void because it
contravenes article 11 of the state
constitution, which, it is alleged, pro
hibils the legislature from passing
any law that shall loan the credit
of the slate, or create any liabilities
which shall make the state debt ex
ceed the sum of $50,000 except in
case of war or to repel invasion. I
The case was set for tomorrow Lr
morning upon demurrer before Judge j
Cialloway. but in consultation hern
toilav with Judge Fenton. the Med
ford attorneys are of the opinion;
that the matter should be met by an i
answer. Thw method will permit j
them to bring before tl ourt the j
nalural wonders of Crater lake, and
the advisability and necessity of j
connecting eastern and western Die- j
gon. If the defense should stand nn ;
demurrer, it would have to ask the j
court to take .judicial knowledge of
nil those things, and as they are all f
capable of proof. Ihe attorneys are
proceeding along Ihe lines ,,f safety.,
although it will probably delay mnt-j
tors slightly.
Hefendants will file nn answer to- I
morrow and will get eac up for trial ;
Monic day this week.
One of the features in the am led
complaint, necessitating nn answer.,
that was not in the first complaint, j
is the allegation that there is a good i
road already, and that the new mad'
will benefit only those persons living
along its routes.
