BIG TIMBER SALE MADE 00.000.000 FEET BOUGHT BY KELSO COXCERX. Clark Creek Ixigjririg; Company Pays $180,000 for Tract Mills to Itun for Four Tears. KELSO. Wash.. April IS. (Special.) Ona of the largest timber deals closed In Southwest Washington In many years waa made today, the Clark Creek Logging Company, of . Kelso, through Its president and general manager. C. A. Taylor, purchasing sO.OOO.000 feet of timber from Pope Talbot, of San Francisco, representing the Rainier In vestment Company, of Seattle. The timber adjoins Taylor's ramp, wheh la owned and operated by the Clark Creek Logging Company. Tha price is given at $3 a thousand, or a total of f 180.000. The deal was made two weeks ago when Mr. Taylor made a trip to San Francisco, where Pope A Talbot, who are heavily interested In timber land and other property In thia vicinity, have their main offices. S. J. Beck, of Lexington, whose mill and logging camp Is In close proximity to the Clark Creek Logging- Company's holdings, will car and raft the timber. Mr. Beck may also log; a part of tha tract. Thla deal mesne a great deal to Kel ao. aa the Clark Creek Logglns; Com pany would have finished work at Tay lor's ramp within the next 1J months and Mr. Beck would soon have been compelled to seek another location for further operations. The purchase means the operation of both concerns at full capacity for the next four yeara at least. The annual payroll of the Clark Creek Logging Company and Beck Interests will ex ceed 1100.000. The greater portion of this amount will flow Into the business channels of Kelso and will do much to ward upbuilding the town. The Clark Creek Logging Company's mill at Kelso, with the exception of short shut-downs for repairs, has run regularly at full capacity since Mr. Taylor assumed the management of the concern about four yeara ago. The company owns two locomotives, a larr amount of other rolling stock, and five miles of logging road, running from the camp to the Cowltts River, the lower terminus being little over a mile above Kelso. Eighty men are now employed at the ramp and mill and Mr. Beck has about 33 men on his payroll. It 's estmated that about 15 per cent of the timber will be handled at the company's mill at Kelso, the remainder going; to Portland, and other points.

Startling develop ments ' occurred today In the rioting which rollowed the action of the Sen ate In adopting a resolution fa voring the suppression of all ter ritorial delimitations In the cham pagne question. Throughout the day and through the early hours of the evening- the situation was grave. This afternoon troopers with armed sabers charged wlnemakers who were sacking champagne depots. Several persona were wounded. It Is expected the rlotera will use dynamite, a large quantity of which disappeared from the quarrlea last week. News conies from Ay that a bomb was thrown at the cavalry, wounding three troopers and killing a horse. Altogether five wine establlahments here have been practically burned to the ground, after having been pillaged. The safes were forced, and the furni ture and fittings piled In the streets and fired.

The Attorney-General went to Ven teull by auto today to Investigate the situation, but was unable to advance through the streets because they were piled high with broken champagne bot tles. lunery today Is a picture of deso lation. The streets are literally-running with champagne mixed with mud.

STOKM STILL- OX IX SENATE Pretnler to liefer Modification of law to Council of Stale. PARIS, April 13. The storm raised by the vote In the Senate yesterday re garding the opening of the delimitation question regarding champagne districts gave no signs of abating today.

After listening to a statement by Premier Monls, the Cham ber voted confidence In the government, practically unanimously, so that tha Senate'a resolution Is not legally ef fective. The Premier haa decided to refer the matter of modification of the delimita tion law to the Council of State, France's highest administrative court.

Willow Creek Canyon Span Xear Madras Is Abandoned in Pro e posed Plan of Line. MADRAS, Or.. April 12. (Special.) With the approach of the steel gangs on the Harrlman. or Deschutes, rail road drawing nearer day by day. local Interest Is beginning to center on tho construction of the big steel viaduct across Willow Creek canyon. Just west of town, where that line crosses the Oregon Trunk at a height of over 200 feet. Although a large amount of material and equipment has Deen assembled there and work Is in progress on tha concrete foundations for the supporting towers, much doubt la expressed as to whether the bridge will ever be com pleted. From hints made by represen tatives of that compsny, the rumor has spread that the Harrlman line Is seri ously considering changing its survey at a point a few miles north of Madras and running Its line along the east edge of the townelte. thenca to the Prlnevllla following Willow Creek, and thence into the Crooked River valley. It Is said that this move Is being con templated from the traffic standpoint, as it would tap a rich agricultural sec tion all the way south from this place, as well as open to that line practically all the timber of the B!ue Mountain district and give It the upper hand for all the freight and pansenger business in southeastern Crook County. The saving on the building of the great bridge would extend the line a considerable distance on the new route, while only seven miles south of here the two roads use the same track to a point on the south line of the Redmond town site. While the change of line would throw the Deschutes system into the Crooked River valley, there la said to be an out let south of Prlnevllle by way of Swartz Canyon, which would again swing the line on to the plateau east of Bend, only a few miles from Its present sur vey southward toward Klamath County. WEBSTER CASE DROPPED STATE KtTIlEMK COURT DE CLINES TO CONSIDER. Mandamus Proceedings Point Can not lie Sustained Because Jurist Resigned In May, 1010. SALEM. Or.. April 12. (Specsal.)

County, in which the State of Oregon, ex rel II. C. King, demand ed a certified atatement from Webster to the County Auditor showing the amount due him for his cervices. The appeal was dismissed, (t being held that the point could not be sustained, since the respondent. Webster, had re signed In May, 1910. Affirmation of the lower court In the case of John T. Brooks vs. the North ern Pacinc Railway Company Is given In an opinion by Justice Moore, in which It Is held that the appellant company is responsible for damages sustained by the respondent through Its negligence In forwarding baggage. The damages consist of the value of the respondent's time and hotel ex penses while watting for the delivery of his baggage. The measure of the passenger's daraagea for the carrier's delay Is held to be the value of ths use of the property In the meantime. A. M. Gallagher, respondent, vs. Will iam Kelllher and another, respondents, appealed from Douglas County, is af firmed .by Chief Justice Eakin. It Is held that prior actual possession of the land is enough to enable the possessor to recover from a mere trespasser who enters without title.
