NEW YORK, Nov. 1. Under the Influ ence of further favorable trade conditions, as disclosed by some remarkable statements of railway earnings, many investment stocks ascended to higher quotations today, while specialties were disposed to react.

Railroads woro tho srovernlnir faetor of the session, Canadian Pacific being , tho cniei leatv.re with a maximum gain of 11 to 194, or about 25 points above last week's low price. Canadian's advance, which was partly shared by its subsidiaries. was attributed more to a driving In of tho snort interest In that stock than to any actual developments in connection with tho company's affairs, alhough its earnings show substantial improvement over tho corre sponding period of last year. Pennsylvania was another etrong rail. rising 214 to 61 li, more than recovering Its Quarterly dividend. All the Eastern lines as well as grangers and Pacifies averaged point or two" higher, Eries supplementing their gains of the past fortnight.

GROOKGOUNTYMUSTPAY WATERMASTKR BREWSTER AXD M. E. BALL WIN ACTIONS. Claims for Labor Hold Accordlnff to Judie Duffy and Jury Sitting In Case of Portlander. PR1NEVILLE, Or.. Nov. 1. (Special.) The past week has been a busy one for the Circuit Court of Crook County and disastrous to the members of the County Court. ' George H. Brewster who has been the Watermaster in Crook County for a number of years first had trouble with the County Court over the payment of his salary and brought suit to compel the County Judge and Commissioners to Pay hid claims in full. The County Court set up the contention that they had a right to pass upon the correct ness of his bills and to refuse to allow his claims at their discretion. After a trial before Circuit Judge Duffy, which ended on Thursday, a writ of man damus was granted and the County Court is now required to pay the claims of the watermaster, when approved by the superintenaent. George T. Cochran, Judge Duffy holding that the County Judge and County Commissioners had no discretion and were compelled to pay the claims when so presented. Another action against the county by M". K. Bait, a public accountant of Portland, also was terminated, a Jury bringing" in a verdict against Crook County in the sum of $819, being the full amount asked by Mr. Ball. The work was done about two years ago on the request of the then County Court and the report of the examination of the various officers of Crook County created a turmoil in Crook County politics. In his report he criticised nearly every office in the county, and later an expert from the auditing de partment of the insurance commis sioner, criticised the Ball examination, and a new County Court coming into office refused to pay his claims, alleg ing that the first examination was not made in a competent manner. Judge Duffy has cleared his docket with this last case and will so to Port land tomorrow to assist the Judges of Multnomah County in the trial of cases there.

That an Eastern syndicate of railroad Investors is investigating the feasibil ity of constructing the "missing link" in the north-and-sotith railroad from New Meadows to Lewiston became known with the departure of Henry P. Leavitt. their representative, from Boise for the East Saturday. Before he left. Mr. Lreavitt held a long conference with Governor Alex ander. Ho was surprised at the re sources he round could be developed lor tonnage tributary to the proposed road, especially in the building of a spur into the famous Warren mining district. He is returning East to make his report. Mr. Leavitt believes the "missing link" can be built from Now Meadows to the southern terminal of the Lewis ton and Nez Perce Railroad, in which his people have become interested, for not to exceed $1,000,000. He promised to submit a. proposal to his principals to back the railroad. He also will discuss matters with members of the north-and-south railroad com mission. He said he would aid them In working out a . feasible plan by which the road's construction can be assured. The suggestion was made that a spur should be built to the tremendously rich sections around Warren, - which ha declared his investigation led him to believe is a far richer mineral coun try than, tho Coeur d'Alenes.
