Nichols, After Hoars' Address, Gives Way Under Strain and Mining Town's Action Is Delayed Till Monday. BAKER, Or., Jan. 10. (Special.) Bo fore a crowded courtroom, with every , Inch of available standing-room taken, James H. Nichols, attorney for the saloon men of Copperfleld, who were ousted from their saloons and official positions by Governor West's militia, pleaded the cause of the victims of martial law. For three hours he argued, cited precedent and Indulged in bitter denun ciation against Governor West and his procedure in the little mining camp. riot a sound save the impassioned voice of the speaker was there In the court room, from which hundreds were turned away. For three solid hours there sat or stood the hundreds of auditors, held spellbound by the argument, and none there were who left save by urgent calls of business, and the places of these few were quickly taken by oth I r who crowded the corridors of the ! Courthouse, eager to hear the pleading of the attorney, not, as he said, for the saloon men of Copperfleld, but for the rights of Arnerlcan citizens; not for Hie maintenance of liquor selling in an out-of-the-way spot in Oregon, but for the inherent right of man for trial by Jury before being deprived of his life, liberty or property. West Styled "Xotorlety-Seeker." This was the basis of Attorney Nich ols" argument, that his clients were entitled to a day in court before being forced out of business by what he termed the caprice of a Governor who was actuated by motives of notoriety seeking and personal ambition. The now famous Copperfleld case came Into court today for the first time when Frank T. Collier, attorney for Governor . West, B. K. Lawson, Fern llobbs and the other members of the Oregon Militia named as defendants In the injunction proceedings brought early last week, filed, an answer which was followed by a. demurrer by At torney Nichols In which he took the position that the facts cited in the answer were not sufficient to constitute a defense in a case. It was on this demurrer that the case was argued. Attorney Nichols only was heard to day. From 2 to 6 o'clock this after noon he argued. Then he gasped for breath and Judge Gustav Anderson, see ing the physical distress of the speaker, suggested a recess of five minutes. This was taken and in the meantime At torney Nichols collapsed and when court reconvened Judge Anderson de clared an adjournment until Monday morning at 9 o'clock, when Mr. Nichols will complete his argument and At torney Collier will be heard in rebuttal. Attorney Spares Wert. Scathing to a degree was Attorney Nichols' indictment of the Governor of Oregon, whom he declared had usurped every law of the state and Nation, and everyone of the constitutional rights of the citizens of Copperfleld, who are tile plaintiffs in the action. The statement In the Governor's an swer that he was acting under the sec tion of the code which provides that the Governor shall see that the law is en forced, he declared Is not self-executory, but that the manner of the execution Is provided by acts of the Legislature and as long as the courts are open so that these legislative acts may be carried out and followed by the Governor in seeing that the laws are enforced, that he must proceed through these prescribed channels. Much of Mr. Nichols argument was based on the assumption, taken for the sake of argument, that the Governor had a right to declare martial law, but toward the close of the argument he at tacked this right and declared that the courts were open and that there was not a citizen of Copperfleld who would have resisted arrest by any unarmed officer, civil or military. He took the position thut the liquor business was a lawful business. recognized by the state as such, and he declared that the question was not a question as to what business his clients were engaged in. Governor's Ponltlon Ridiculed. He ridiculed and assailed the Gov ernor's position in attempting to Jus tify his summary action at Copper field by a petition, the names of the signers of which are not even given in the answer and to which none was sworn. Once, In an Impassioned flight, Mr. Nichols hinted strongly at future ac tion to be taken by his clients. "Governor West will answer to the plaintiffs in this case," he said. "I don't know when nor where nor how, but he will answer at some time. There must be a portion of this code somewhere under which the Governor of Oregon Is amenable for his acts. "It isn't only my clients, however, who have a case Against the Governor. Baker County has Just cause for com plaint against Oswald West. He It is who has spread all over the United States these ugly slurs against Baker County, these slurs which are based on nothing other than a desire to pro mote his own. personal ambition and love of notoriety." Just before court convened Attorney Collier filed an answer to the com plaint asking for an Injunction. The answer denied the allegations of the omplaint and set forth that a petition from citizens of Copperfleld had been received, by Governor West, declaring that the residents were in danger; that Governor West learned of a meeting having been called by Copperfield citi zens November 24 to protect their lives ano property; tnat the criminal and civu jaws relating to the sale of li luor and gambling were beine- notor iously and openly violated: thnt th Sheriff and District Attorney of Baker County either were unable or did not care to eniorce tne laws and that the citizens feared loss of property and personal violence; that oronertv i,a been destroyed by fire; that youths of to, ii. is ana is Jiad been permitted 10 purcnase nquor; that no attempt a iiav u, mo tuy oincials to en I - o. uw a proclama tion una Deen issued Dy the Governor I'ecember 31 proclaiming martial law.

DRAINAGE PROJECT HUGE (Continued From First Pace.) 20-year bonds will be issued and sold The cost of the system of trunk aitcnes, laterals and tiling cannot be de termined until the report of the enri neers is filed, but it is believed by the officials of the Mine Bureau that it will range Detween ia ana 30 per acre. Lands Pay 815 to SSO Per A t- The lands to be drained are producing from $15 to ?B0 per acre annually. With drainage it is believed that the crop production of these lands will Increase from 100 to 200 per cent. "The only thing wrong with the wilte lands of the Willamette Valley is i ' i l ' ' - t ' 1 1 - I 4 t that they carry excess acids. Chemists at the experiment stations have de termined that those lands are equal to the best in Oregon when unnecessary water Is ellmlnatd," said Profssor Williams, who has made a special study of drainage. "A proper system of drainage will not only make valuable the so-called white lands, but it will increase the productiveness of every other acre of Willamettte Valley lands. "Drainage will give the ' valley a growing season from four to seven weeks longer than known at present. Farmers can go upon their plow lots much earlier in the season." A few years ago the railroad trav eler through the Willamette Valley saw Eugene, then Junction City, then an other town, and so on. There were only a few farm houses. Today there are dozens of farm houses to be seen where only one formerly could be viewed. But on the wet lands along the river farm houses are just as scarce as ever. S,OOO,0OO Farmers Predicted. Fond hopes have caused predictions of 6,000,000 people inhabiting the land between Portland and Eugene. It is almost as familiar as "God Bless Our Home," done in red yarn on a perfo rated cardboard. But predictions and mottoes don't make lands produce to their capacity, nor put settlers at work building homes. Investigators find the low lands cheap and wet, and do not fancy tne dry and high lands, even though they are paying 25 per cent per annum on the investment - when properly farmed. It Is the contention of the Bureau of Mines that drainage can be profitably applied to all the lands of the Willam ette Valley, and Professor H. M. Parks, head of the bureau, announces the wil lingness of the institution to aid the movement by advisory supervision. He believes that by drainage only, can & prosperous home be placed on every 40 acres. MEN MAY STAY OUT CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR CON SIDERS EVADING PRIMARY. Desire to Be Fair to Opponents and Hope to Benefit, Basis for Figur ing on Independent Route. OREGOlf ITT, Or., Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) W. .S..U:Ren, candidate for Gov ernor of Oregon, may not enter the Republican, .primary and become a con- testanrt jnptt ffte'nomlnatlon. This does not mean Y6at Mr. ITRen will relin quish his ambition to be the executive head ofthe state. It just means that he may d"eTermine to become an In dependent candidate, and take his chances next November with the Re publican, Democratic, "Socialist and Prohibition nominees in the general election. Mr. ITRen will make up his mind and will voice his decision as to the manner in which he is to become a candidate before February 1. Mr. ITRen was not Inclined to disk cuss the matter today, but admitted that he is considering the idea of mak ing the race as an Independent, and he may not go into the primaries. "Some - of my friends, and some of my political enemies," said Mr. ITRen, "have told me that I should stay out of the primaries that it would not be fair for me to enter, for the reason that I have not always supported the straight Republican ticket, and that the men who have always supported the Republican nominee are entitled to all of the honors the party, as a party, can bestow. Now, I want to be fair to my opponents and if I am convinced that I shall be acting unfairly to them by entering the race for the Republican nomination. I will certainly run solely as an Independent." It is reported here that Mr. TTRen is firm In the belief that he could win the nomination without a struggle, but he fears the results after the primary election is over. He realizes the weak ness of the primary law la the manner in which it has affected the nominee of the majority party in Oregon for Governor, and said today that the pri mary law in Oregon has served its purpose and that it should be succeed ed by the single-election plan. It is considered likely that Mr. TTRen is banking to some extent on the usual disaffection in Republican ranks af ter the family fights of a primary elec tion, and hopes to profit thereby by running as an Independent, for as a non-partisan candidate he would prob ably obtain all of the votes that would be cast for him in a primary election and would gain a percentage of dis satisfied Republicans and Democrats. LARGER SCHOOL IS NEEDED Corvallis Plans to Erect 9 6 0,00 0 Unit of New Building. CORVALLIS. Or.. Jan. 10. (Soecial.)

WINDS AND TIDES DAMAGE Contractors Are Put to Work on Rapidly Deteriorating Grade. Sides Will Be Rlprapped and Otherwise Made Safe. NORTH BEND, Or., Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) The Southern Pacific, for its subsidiary railway, the Willamette-Pacific, has recently contracted with a Coos Bay firm for an extensive piece of work on this section of the line, and to complete the contract will occupy McLain & McLean for a number of months. In taking from the large cut which went through Simpson Park in this city, the railroad utilized the earth and stone for a fill west of the penin sula and towards the approach to the bridge which Is to cross the bay from Pony Inlet to Sand Point. The fill Is a grade on which the road Is to be con structed "from Simpson Park to the first trestle work, and is in places more than 20 feet in depth. The grade fill runs out on the mudflats for a distance of about 2300 feet, and varies In depth from 20 to about eight or ten at the terminus. Settlement Is Heavy. It has been found since the fill was made that the setlement is much great er than had been expected and, al though It was believed It would even tually have to be supported, the need came much sooner than expected. Recent heavy winds and high tides have materially damaged the causeway and there has been a constant deteri oration from the sides which promises to be more extensive than contemplat ed. In the causeway there is. an esti mated total of 200,000 yards, and re cent observations Indicate several thou sand yards hav already disappeared. To hold the remainder in place the com pany decided to riprap the sides to a point three feet above what is con sidered the highest point a tide may reach, and the work has been com menced by starting the construction of a channel from the ship channel at the mouth of Pony Inlet, across the flats .for a distance of nearly half a mile. This channel, which will be 40 feet in width and four feet deep, is to accommodate the scows in which the rock will be floated to the positions necessary to allow unloading of the shipments. Rock Belnar Quarried. The contractors have estimated the dredging of the artificial channel will keep a. -dredge employed for three or four weeks, after which time the rock can be brought to the vicinity and placed. The rock to be used in suDDortlntr th grade is being quarried on South Coos itiver and is distant 20 miles from the location. The quarry is equipped with hoisting engines which will lift any sized rock the quarrymen can get out, and the placing of the big pieces Is to be accomplished by the aid of the clam-shell dredger. The contractors are obligated to deliver and place 10,000 yards of rock, the amount the company estimates will be required in complet ing the big undertaking and putting the grade in safe condition to support tne tracKs ana trains going to and from North Bend. The terminus of this grade is oppo site Sand Point, where, north of Coos Bay, the company has a steam shovel engaged In making a three-mile sand fill to accommodate the. approach to the bridge from the direction of Eu gene. SIUSLAW FUND PROVIDED Port Commission Authorizes Issue of $100,000 Bonds for Jetty. FLORENCE, Or., Jan. 10. (Special.)
