Rafroad tracks of the rival companies of Hill and -Harrlman are betna con structed at a rapid rate across the lower end of the peninsula In a contest for possession of rights of way that conriict on the route or the O. R. St N. com panr's St Johna-Troutdala exten sion and that of the Columbia river brldre route of the Northern . Pacific and Great Northern. The surveys cross in Tour places, and the opposing com panics have appealed to the courts to decide tbelr claims to priority of pos session. Suits and counter suits for condemns- tlon of around were filed yesterday In the circuit court. It la said the North ern Pacific secured possession by pur chase of larre tract of land . alone uoiumDia slough and established Its grade. The O. R. A N. company's aer- vey, to avoid a heavy cut at this point was run across the HU1 land. and. Har rlman has brought condemnation pro ceedings to secure rights or way across the land.-- The Northern pacmo resists. basing Its claim on right of possession. it la said that ir the Hill company's contention la upheld the rival company must soiri to higher ground to. avoid the crossing or tracks and that a very expensive cut win De necessary to se cure a level grade. The O. R. A N. company haa also brought suit to condemn a right of way acroaa land owned by the College En dowment association in the same nelrh borhood. Some years ago a project was started to round a Scandinavian univer sity on the peninsula, and a tract was bought from A.'' H. ..Maegly. near Co lumbia slough. The ground Is croased by the surveys of both railroad compa nies. ;' The Northern Pacific has laid about ISO feet of track on the adjoining tract purchased by the company and will push the work aa faat as necessary to defend Its claims to exclusive posses sion of the right of way as surveyed by its engineers. On the north bank of the Columbia additional condemnation suits are being filed by representstlves or the Hill lines and tha Wallula Pacific and Columbia Valley companies, and on the court cal endars In the various counties along the river are appearing, long lists of conn-ter-sulta. The Columbia Valley com pany la also bringing numerous actions against land owners to compel them to carry-out contracts made some years agtr' with that company for rights of way that have subsequently ' been claimed or acquired by the Northern Parifio and Great Northern Interests, The storm center is In the vicinity of Cape Horn, where surveys of the rival companies cross In several places. There are other Important atrategle points between Wallula and Vancouver that are being hotly contested for. Thus far the battle la confined to the courts and there have been no clashes of rival construction forces, i DISROBES AND THROWS HIMSELF UNDER TRAIN Seattle. Wash., Dec. It.

The three candldatea for. ., governor were here to conault Republican leaders. and met at the Imperial hotel, where a number of other prominent Republicans lnlnl them. The opinion was ex pressed when they arrived in town fnat they would not make any campaign prior to tha prlmarlea. However. Mr. Johns took a shy at Mr. Geer, saying that he believed that the latter ..once was ' po tent In the party councils, but had largely lost his strength and would be easy prey for his opponents. The ex-governor took notice or the remark of the Baker - City statesman and tore holea In his logic, so that the chance meeting, announced as holding no possibility of creating any feeling between the Salem And Baker City as pirants for Governor Chamberlain's of fice, developed into a sort or political dynamo which generated not a little electricity., The Idea seemed to permeate tne gov ernorship candidates that they would make no sneaklne- camDalms before the primary nomlnatlona, but would reserve J their tire to oe expenaea arter ins issues were made up. As to ths nature of the tight the can didate who was successful would put up against Governor Chamberlain," who will be the Democratic candidate. It was Impossible to discover, excepting that It is hinted that he will appeal to ths voters to elect a Republican.
