(Penalty attached.) The case against Xielson was heard !efore Justice Goodman, July 22nd,. who found the defendant guilty and imposed j fine of $50 and costs. An appeal was immediately taken to the circuit court by G. C. Fulton, attorney for the de fendant, and the cae was again heard before Judge McBride of the circuit court, July 20th, and the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. The prosecution, which was taken care of by Attorney-General A. JL Crawford, as sisted by Deputy District Attorney John JEcCue of Clatsop County, contended tht the State of Oregon had the right to enforce its laws over the entire Columbia River without regard to what the laws of Washington are, while the defense claimed that the Oregon law prohibiting purse nets was in direct conflict with the Washington law licens ing them and was therefor void. Judge McBride in rendering his decision stateJ that the federal courts had made two decsions, on the matterand while he did not agree with those decisions, he would out of deference to the federal courts concur with them and discharge the de fendant, except for the purpose of tak ing the matter to the higher courts; and as the state could not appeal, he would ?onfirm the decision of the justice court on condition that the defendant be per mitted to continue fishing until the case had been finally determined. An appeal was again taken from this decision by Attorney Fulton and the case will be taken up before the state supreme court and an effort f-t for!!' :-,y all parties con cerned, to have it set for hearing at an early date.

"Notwithstanding all this immense amount of money in rebates, given by the Union Pacific to Portland shippers for so many year, their mouth-piece, the Oregonian' now turns and bites the hand that fed them, the only apparent reason, being that the railroad refuses to continue feeding them and proposes to do business, henceforth, on business principles. The immaculate gall and in gratitude of the Oregonian for the past favors shown its town bv the Union Pacific Railroad management is Incon ceivable. ror lo, those many jrears, It has been a fact well known to the railroad and busines men of the northwest that the Union Pacific Railroad would event ually build to Puget Sound, and was only waiting for a good excuse to break its agreement with Mr. Hill not to do so. Tne excuse arrived when Mr. ilill started to build the Xortb Bank road. Portland has always been consideid a only the temporary terminus of the Union Pacific system in Oregon, not only by Union Pacific officials but by all other well informed railroad and ship. ping men. "There is neither sense nor justice in the threat of the Oregonian that the people will tax the Union Pacific Rail road out of its boots, so to speak, and that they have 'sowed the wind and will reap the whirlwind.'

What a Man Can Stajnd There is a lively bunch of linemen here at work on the Pacific telephone Hires, reorganizing the eyHtem and do ing lots of good work; nnd one of them (who uliall be nameless, owing to his extraordinary modesty) made a demon stration on Tuesday last of what an or dinary wire-man can stand in the way 01 juice when it catches him unaware. He took a shock of 110 volts, and the stuff held him to the wires in such fanhion that his comrades thought lie was dead, and (lew to his assistance, if any was to avail him; he was carefully uctaeiied from lu9 place up aloft and lowered to the ground, when he came to, alright, nnd knocked off to recover his bearings a bit. Yesterday morning he was back on the poles and doing his regular stunt, as hearty as ever. Of course there are explanations for this kind of thing, but to the layman it looks pretty serious; and the common reporter is all sorts of a layman. torn Shoes The Shoe with a Sole that Don't Weir Out S.
