They each had budgets of their own and levies ot their own' to think about, and they wer interested. But the interest did not reach fever heat until the road question wss opened. This came when President Holman called on Leslie Butler, of Hood River, member of the State Highway Advisory Board, to discuss the work of that body. Mr. Butler did so at some length and he was followed by half a dozen of the visitora each of whom was willing to express decided views on some phase of the subject. Then followed J. H. Albert, the Salem banker, who spoke on "The Financing of Ccunty Road Work." Mr. Albert put up a map of the proposed and com pleted state highway system, pointed out the work that had been done and the work that could be done and told how, in his opinion, it should be done.

Weatlicr report, data and forecasts Pae Si, Oregon & California Case Is Heard GOVERNMENT CLAIMS FOUGHT. Southern Pacific Contends for Timber and Mineral Rights. ATTORNEYS' CLASH SHARP Assumption of Federal Victory la Denied by Railway and Move to Assess Costs Brings Forth Vigorous Objection. Attorneys for the Southern Pacific Company and those for the Govern ment came into sharp and frequent conflicts before Judge Wolverton, in the United States Court yesterday morning, over the form of a decree that shall be entered in the historic Oregon-California land-grant case. The principal point over which they differed was the question of the dispo sition 'to be allowed of the timber, mineral and other natural resources on the property. A minor difference was the assess ment of the costs in the case. Government Claims Victory. On the ground that tho Supreme Court's recent decision makes the Gov ernment the prevailing party in the suit, Constantine J. Smyth asked that the costs be charged against the rail road, but Peter K. Dunne, attorney for the Southern Pacific, would not admit that the Government had .won a vic tory, and declared that should the rules of procedure permit tho assessment of costs against the Government ha would ask for such action. Each party had prepared a form of tentative decree embodying its re spective contentions. The court re ceived both decrees, and, after listen ing to three hours' of argument, took them under advisement. He will enter a formal decree at the session of the court this morning. Southern Oregon Case Similar. In the case of the Government. against the Southern Oregon Company on Monday, involving similar issues. Judge Wolverton accepted the Govern ment's contention that the grantees of the land affected are entitled to a value of J2.50 an acre, with no further claim on the mineral, stone or timber. Mr. Smyth also represented the Gov ernment in that case. The decree that he prepared in the Oregon & CaliforniH case is similar in its essential par ticulars. In tho event the court accepts the Government's position in the pending case, it is probable that the Oregon & California lands will be held in con tinued litigation for a long period of time. Attorney Dunne implied such a threat in the course of the proceedings yesterday. If such a decree be entered." de clared Mr. Dunne, referring to the in strument prepared by Mr. Smyth, "ex ceeding, as It does, the language of the Supreme Court's opinion, the rail road company will be obliged to take its appeal to a higher court and to carry this litigation still further." He referred to his own decree as the only means of "avoiding trouble and of ending this litigation." Some Polat Are Agreed. On several important points the op posing attorneys were fully agreed. The first was that the Supreme Court, by Ita opinion, enjoined the Southern Pacific permanently from selling any of the lands excepting under tbe terms of tho original grant, and, second, that he opinion enjoined the railroad from selling any land at all for a period of six months from the filing of the de- Concluded on Page 20, Column 1.) COLUMBIA RIVER HIGHW AY TO BE FEATURED. The Columbia River Highway, J admittedly one of the greatest scenic boulevards in the world, will be featured prominently in the New Year's edition of The , Oregonian. The pictorial section will be devoted almost exclusive- ly to the highway. In addition, there will be a graphic descrip- J tion of the project, and also spe- cial attention will be given the a Larch Mountain Trail. , The Columbia River Highway j is considered one of the most val- uable assets to Portland and the 1 State of Oregon. It will be the J means of attracting thousands upon thousands of tourists every Summer from all parts of the world. The building of the high- J way is advertising Portland and Oregon in a more effective way than any other achievement in ! recent years, and there will be J no better medium for exploiting the highway than the forthcom- t ing Annual Edition of The Ore- t gonian. k
