Governor West and V. Vincent Jones
are made defendants Jn a suit for $10,

Court yesterday by the Deschutes Land
Company, represented by J. E. Morson,

motion Mr. Jones said that he believed
something of an active nature would
have to be done to eliminate frauds
and cheats from the realty business.
