APPEAL DISMISSED
OF OREGON CASE
U. S. SUPREME COURT
WASHINGTON, Nov. S. The
United States supreme court yester
day granted permission to. file a mo
tion for dismissal in the case of the
Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navi
gation company, plaintiff in error, vs.
the Stoddard Lumber company. Ed
ward D. Baldwin representing Mc
Camant, Bronaugh & Thompson, of
Portland, appeared for the defend
ants In error. The case grew out of
an action for damages against the rail
road company for the negligence of
its agent, the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad, causing delay in delivery of
shipment ot box shooks shipped from
Oregon to Colorado. Frost ruined the
peach crop in Colorado and so the box
shooks, shipped from Oregon, were
valueless, held the state supreme
court, which affirmed the award of
damages.
Dismissal of the appeal was a iked
on the ground that a writ of cer
tiorari i the only proper method of
bringing to the supreme court any
error of tho state court, which does
not question the validity of a state
or federal statute or federal treaty.
