THE tiOOEGKS 'HEW .LAW
A Court Decision May Make
CUickamas and Other State
Streams Free.
A case lias been heard in tho circuit
court of Benton county that may re
sult in declaring the loggers new law
unconstitutional, The outcome of the
' t.ct aan will Im nf much interest to
l,cau ficv ,. ... - t
Claekamas county, inasmuch jaa it will
affect the claims of two rets of individ
uals on Clackamas county streams.
The Luckiamute Improvement Associa
tion secured a complete monopoly of
the Luckiamute river through the pro
visions of the loggr.i' la passed at the
last session of the legislature. Tho
Bpanlding Legging Company, which
furnishes logs lor the Willamette Pulp
& Paper Company, began a suit to re
strain the Luckiamute Improvement
Association from exercising control, over
,' the river, a privilege alleged in the .com
plaint that tho possess.
Tho Oorvallis Times says that Spvihl
lug claim qhatthe legislative act U un
constitutional, first, because the act of
congiess admitting the state into the
Union v'dfdared that all navigable
waterj within the state should be com
mnn '1 v nnd forever fiee to the
inhabitants of tlie stato.vand a'.l citizen
thereof; and secotid, that the act does
not conform to tho constitutional re
quirement that, "every act shall em
brace but one subject and matter: prop--erly
connected therewith, which sub
ipnf shall be exoressed in the title."
The' title of the act, questioned is. "an
therissing the cniioty courts of the sev
eral counties of tliis stale to declare (in
navigable streams highways for floating
logs and timber and provide for the im
provement of the same," and it was
urged that the fact that the body of the
act does not mantion the county court
nor provide any ptocednre upon the
nart of the csuntv court, render the act
invalid.
In connection with the passage of tins
act it is stated that as originally pre
sented to the legislature, the act did
vrnvide how the county court should
ti -
proceed, but that one of the members of
the company to whom it was referred,
did not like it and prepared the act that
passed. In the sh utile the act as
changed was given the title of the act
originally presented, and hence the al
leged hybrid.
Judge Hamilton took the case under
advisement, and will not render his de
cision until the briefs ere filed, which
will be at least a month hence.
