LONG AUTO RACE FAILURE
Oreat Northern Agents Whirl Over
Hough Roads in Vain Effort to
Stop Itlvals in Route
Through Pass.
' KAIJSPBl.t Mont.. April 22In the
florce content now wacing between the
Puget Sound Railway Company and the
CJreat Northern Railway for ripht of way
through the canyon on North Fork River,
north or Coram, the Milwaukee attorney
has blocked the Great Northern by filing
notice of lis pendens in a proposed con
demnation suit, prior to the filing of the
Oreat Northern's deed to lands covered
by the proceedings.
A sensational dash was made by At
torney Nofsinger and O. CS. Clay, right of
way agent for the Great Northern, in an
automobile to Columbia Falls yesterday
afternoon, and a tive-day option secured
on an extensive tract of timber land
covering seven sections through which
both roads will run.
Auto Race Falls.
The run -was made back to Kallspell,
nml at 11 P. M. last night the County
Clerk was found and the Instrument
placed on lecord.
Six hours previously, however, the Mil
waukee attorney had filed condemnatiii
suits covering the same lands. It is as
serted that by virtue of this condition,
nd the further fact that the Milwaukee
stakes were first set, that road's right
to go across the lands In question Is
secured, and the Milwaukee people now
claim to be In position to negotiate at
leisure for the right of way.,
Milwaukee Road Ahead.
The Great Northern holds only one
deed and five contracts for deeds, while
the iMllwaukee has filed seven deeds, and
.Is protected by pending' suits on most of
the lands held by the Great Northern
under contract.
At 5 o'clock this evening the Great
Northern completed the tardy praparatlon
of Its condemnation papers. There ensued
spirited race between attorneys for the
two roads to file their documents first,
md the Milwaukee attorney -was vic
torious. This Is the third condemnation suit
Instituted by the Milwaukee company and
Is directed against the Great Northern
Railway Company as defendant.

Burn Crude Petroleum in Orchards
on Cold Nights.
NORTH YAKIMA. Wash.. April 22.
(Special.) The ranchers at 'Granger
are fighting frost from their orchards
with petroleum firepots. They have
also installed In some of the orchards
automatic frost alarms. A carload of
firepots has been unloaded at Granger
and three carloads of crude petroleum.
Since last Saturday hundreds of fire
pots have been kept burning Jn the
orchards every night, and the air Is
heavy with the smoke of the petrol
eum. The automatic frost alarm is a sim
ple device. A thermometer, to which
is attached an electric bell which will
be set oft when lie mercury gets down
to the danger point, is placed in the
orchard with the bell in the rancher's
house. s soon as the signal sounds,
the rarier lights his petroleum pots.

temperature to a point above danger.

Charles Levi Woodbury left for Seattle
today on the steamer Whatcom, after
leaving sworn statements in the hands
of United States Consul West.
;r "I took the statement of Captain Sin

declared Consul West, "and I also in
terviewed Captain Newcomb, of the
Kestrel. Close investigation of the
charts and comparison of the state
ments leads me to believe that there is
not the slightest doubt that the schoon
er was in Canadian waters when seen
by the Kestrel, but what I am also
inclined to believe is that she had
drifted inside the limit during fishing
operations. When the schooner com
menced fishing on Sunday she was well
outside the three-mile limit, but a wind
and current set her in. That is the

conclusion I have come to after making
inquiries.
"As regards the chase. I cannot quite
understand Captain Sinclair's statement
that he did not hear the Kestrel sig
nalling him to stop, but the direction of
the wind and the noise of Woodbury's
gasoline engines might account for this.
He was probably aluo under the im
pression that if he got outside terri
torial waters he was free, but the
chase1 had commenced in Canadian
waters and the Kestrel would have
been justified in chasing him to China,
and 1 believe, had an American cutter
been around, she too would have made
the Woodbury heave to. My opinion is
that the Dominion government will
recognize the possibility of the Wood
bury having drifted Inside the HmTt
while her skipper and crew were busily
engaged in fishing operations, and that
the imposition of a fine will meet the
case." ' ' -
