Presiding Judge Arthur I Ftaier this morning decided that the rortland Seattle railway, J. J.

Ce.. had a right to (natltute proceedings for a right of way aeross the H1U property. Thua the O. R. N. will have a right te establish Ita grade at Maegley Junction, the court holding that It wae the flret road to survey a line across the property. Judge Fraser said in hie decision that owing 4 the many moves that had been . made by both companlea before the eulte decided this morning were brought and on account of the conflict ing authorities, he gave an unusual amount of atudy to the case, spending many days In Investigating the author! tlee cited aa well ae the history of the trouble. The decision covered over ti typewritten nagea. and copies were pre sented te the Interested ettorneye. In summing up the case. Judge Fraser said:, ..- . . am vwas augni ex way, 'It la the opinion, of this court that the Portland a Seattle company la the owner of the 100-foot atrip of land put- chased by It from the College Endow ment association, and wae such owner within the meaning of the statute relat ing to condemnation ef property for rights of way, before the condemnation procoedlng of the O.

And the O. B. N. , not hav ing acquired any right either by pur chase or condemnation to enter upon or construct Its railroad across thla 100- foot strip of land ahould not now be permitted further te enter upon, occupy or work on the construction of ita road thereon until it has, either by purchase or condemnation, secured a right of way across said land; and that, hence, the temporary Injunction hereinbefore le aned la the case of the Portland eV Se attle company vs. the O.

"But the court le further of the ooia- fon that the O.

"But alnce the O. R. N. haa not np to thla time enquired any right of way across said tract. It le not entltlsd to enter Into possession of the eame, but that the Portland Seattle company, as the owner of said land, la entitled to the full and complete possession of the same until the O.
