Principle That Railways Shall o B Required to Carry One Commodity at Gaining Elsewhere, Established, f WASHINGTON, March 8. The Su preme Court laid down today the prin ciple that it is beyond the power of the states to require a railroad to carry one commodity or class of traffic at a loss, or only nominal profit, even though an adequate profit is obtained from its business as a whole, within the state. Under this principle the court an nulled the North Dakota lignite coal rate law as to the Northern Pacific and the Minneapolis, St. Paul & Sault Ste. Marie railroads, and the West Vir ginia 3-cent passenger rate law as to the Norfolk & Western. Justice Hughes announced the decisions. Jus tice Pitney alone dissented. In arriving at its general conclusion the court held that when a state se lects one commodity or class of traffic for regulation, it must apportion to it a proper part of all general expenses and then allow substantial compensa tion. "The state cannot estimate the cost of carrying coal," eaid Justice Hughes In the North Dakqta case, "by throw ing the expense incident to the main tenance of the roadbed and the general expenses upon the carriage of wheat, or the cost of carrying wheat by throw ing the burden of the upkeep of the property upon coal and other commod ities." The court left undetermined the ex act elements to be considered In fixing a value for railroad property for rate making purposes, accepting the find ings of the states in each case as show ing substantial compensation bad not been allowed for the service embraced within their laws.

Grading in Good Shape and En gineer Thinks $50,000 to Be Available Will Finish Co lumbia County Section. RAINIER. Or., March 8. (Special.) Work on the Columbia Highway through Columbia County will be re sumed beiore- tne end oi tne momu. Major Bowlby, State Highway Engin eer, and a party of his associates, to gether with a number of Rainier citi zens, today walked over that portion of the incompleted highway between Rainier and Goble and came to the con clusion that by beginning work as soon as the men and material can be as sembled it will be possible to have the road open for traffic all the way from Portland to Astoria before July 4. The State Highway Engineer will hove available thla Soring about $50,- 000 of the Columbia County road fund for use on the highway that was CTarieri last vear and that is unfinished, This he believes will go far toward rntnnlrtlnir the road tnrougn tnis county. Th nirlv that hiked over the Rai nier-Goble link found that the graded rnaHwav had stood the Winter wen At a few points the hillside had slid down perceptibly and covered a portion of the graded surface.. The engineers figured that these obstacles can e re moved with little oimcuiiy or oil- pense. They had expected such be havior by nature. Rock Must Be Blasted. One important piece of work that remains to be done between Rainier and Goble is at Prospect Point, where the highway must be carried through a solid body of rock about ituu reel ions. Part ot the necessary blasting has been done. Major Bowlby estimates that it will require less than $5000 to do the rest of the work on the strip oi nign The roadway for the entire distance covered by the party is fully 24 feet wide, in accordance with contract speci fications. All the fills and all the cul verts in the Rainier-Goble link have been put in place. As the Highway Commission never was flush with money on the Columbia County Job, the work is not finished with the same -in Multnomah County, but it ia verv bit as substantial and serv ki. TVift aennic advantages are eaual to those of the highway through Multnomah County, with the exception that there are not so many .piciureonu waterfalls. Rainier People Want BoM.

The new work wnicn aggregates 37 s miles is being done on me norm ,rr mil between the Clatsop County line and Tide Creek, a point about four miles south of Goble. Of tnis Zl.o miles fniiv 97 miles have been compietea, Tii. remaining 10 miles or so have been touched here and there and will re quire little work to complete. Road to Be Rolled. It is Major Bowlby's Intention to go over all the new road with a heavy steam roller. That is all that can De rir.no with the funds now.

Supreme Court Ruling Affects Lands In Oregon Valued at Three Quarter Million Dollars. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, March 8. The Supreme Court today affirmed the decision of lower courts in the caaes of C A. Smith and the Linn and Lane Timber Company, hnirilnir the latter's title to certain timber lands in Oregon to have been obtained by fraud, and directing can- col lot Inn nf the patent. ine court finds that only in certain cases was the Government at liberty to sue Smith to recover tiUe to the land, because tho oiotiito of limitations bad run in some instances. However, as to entries. wht,-h worn natented August 12 to July 9, 1902. the courts holds the Gov- ornmont had tne TlSTni lo BLmtn. Smith's title, as bills were filed in those cases within six years of the date of patent. Tho rmirt eoea somewhat Into, the manner in which Smith organized tne Linn and Lane Timber company, re taining 998 out of 1000 shares of stock in his own name, and how he trans rorroH hi land title to that company onH undertook to conceal the title until after the statute of limitations had run. The court holds that Smith, In effect being the corporation, the corporation was as liable as he. it having been es tablished In the lower courts that Smith knei his title to this land was obtained fraudulently. The effect of the decision is to noia tlt if the Government attacks tne title of land acquired under the tim ber and stone act within six years after date of issuance of patent, it miv one to recover title, even though actual service is not made on the de fendant until after six years nas elapsed. Tho flolm of tho Government in the case mentioned in the Washington dis patch is to a group of valuable timber claims in Linn County, having a value of approximately $750,000. Suit was brought by United States Jjisirici ai tomev John McCourt in 1908 to can cel patents to tho claims, fraud be ing alleged on tno part oi xne uiiium company. It was alleged tnai me com pany, of which C. A. Smith, of Minne apolis, owns practically all of the stock, induced people to file on the land and transfer It to the timber concern. Mr. Smith, Frederick A. Kribs. Charles J. Swanson, Will Mealey, J. A. Thompson and O. Judd were charged with con spiring to defraud the Government in 1900 when the claims were filed on. In the first trial of the case before United States District Court, 87 claims were ordered forfeited to tho Govern ment. On appeal. District Attorney McCourt added eight more claims to the original 37. The United States District Court of Appeals, on hearing the case, directed that the entire 45 tracts revert to the. Government and it was this decision that has Just been affirmed by the Supreme Court. OREGON GETS TABLET H. A. BOOTH RETURNS WITH OIKT FROM EXPOSITION COMMISSION. S. P. & S.

That charges of extravagance, tactless ness and arbitrariness against Henry 1 Bowlby, State Highway Engineer, which caused a majority of the mem bership of the State Highway Com mission to decide upon ins reu.u... came from numerous sources is dis closed by information made public here today. , . It la declared that only two of -0 County Judges with whom the en gineer has had dealings nave nwu,.. his work and that a large number of them are outspoken in their disap proval of it. Regarding tne enarse u. extravagance attention is called to the fact that in February, although roart work was being done only in Hood River County, the overhead charges of the department were not reduced and the engineer had 14 persons on the state payroll. One assistant engineer received a salary of 200 a month, three others 1175. two right-of-way men 1-0. three draftsmen $90 and one inspector 190. County Employe !Vot Included. Tr. addition to these employes are numerous others working under the department, but receiving ineir sal aries directly from rounties making road improvements. They include su- nervlsina- engineers and inspectors. One of the most damaging objections to the work of the department comes from the County Court of Columbia Countv. elected at a recall election to support the State Highway Engineer In hia work there. The court that was recalled had opposed him,sand the new one was pledged to give all encourage ment possible. However, in a letter to Major Bowlby a few days ago, copies of which were sent to the State High way Commission, A. L. Clark, county Judge; A. E. Harvey and Judson weed. Commissioners, declare there has been an unnecessary engineering expense. Supporters Voire Complaint. The letter in part follows: "However, our greatest objection is to what seems to us to be a very great and unnecessary engineering ex pense that has been charged to us since the cessation of work on the Columbia Highway. These charges are roughly summarized below. It was with great reluctance that the vouchers for this work presented by you for the month of January were allowed, because we felt that the final estimate should have been in our hands at the January term of court and all expense cut off from that time. Our reasoning In the matter may have been faulty because we know we are deficient in engineer ing skill and knowledge of things per taining thereto, but wo took the view that, with five resident engineers, a district engineer over them, all with a full crew of assistants, and an as sistant highway engineer over them, the final report should be ready almost on the instant work was .Mopprd. However, we were satisfied to give you three weeks, which under the ubovo circumstancr.H sonried more than atnplo timo, and when thn vouch ers for .December rugincf ring rxpctifn came in tn tho amount of $16P'.J1 v. e readily paid thorn, foellng that, while that was a large bill for lofa than hair a month's work, yet It would doubtlc-s include I he final estimate and there would ho no more bills to follow, Put at thn February term the bills allowed were: Salaries, J:i.1!.10; cxpenie-. $2115.27, making a total of U;1.37. which total sum is the exact amount over and shove the nluc received by thiK country." nr-n i - Children Cry for Fletcher's "f r 1 If IT w.
