H. Lytic, state sheep Inspector, and others, was presented. Lawyers In the case wera unable to flinch their arguments and Judge Wol- verton postponed the hearing until Monday evening at 7:20 o'clock. Thla wlU be the first night session in tbe federal court in Portland since tne close of the famous Blue mountain land fraud case last summer. The contention between the parties to the suit on which the matter of the preliminary injunction will be decided is whether the new Oregon law passed by the , laat legislature discriminates against the Washington growers. Evidence was introduced by the eneep grower by niacin Dr. 8. B. Nelson, state veterinary of Washington, and W. C Johnson, sheep inspector of Wal la Walla eounty, on the witness stand. No witnesses testified for the defend ants and immediately upon the close of the argument of Lawyer Oscar Cain of Walla Walla, Judge Thomas O. Halley commenced the argument for the de fense, but failed to finish by ths time court adjourned. The feature of th Oregon law to which the Washington growers object is ths provision regarding dipping and quarantining la th Wenaha foreat re serve for summer pasturage. The act provides that all such sheep shall be dipped twice and shall remain In quaran tine not leas than six days nor more than 14. and the quarantine shall be at tbe discretion of the sheep Inspector. The defense contends that the pro vision does not discriminate against Waahlngton growers because all Oregon sheep have to be dipped once a year, and whenever they are exposed to con tagious O-sease. The growers from ths northern state claim, however, that be cause the place Of quarantine Is left the discretion of the Inspector, he could name any place In the state and place them to an expense that would ruin their Industry. They also claim that tbe only place where the quaran tine could take place at the point of entering the state Is wholly unfit for quarantine purposes and that the aheep would die for want of feed and water. Judge Halley atated in court that the purpose of the law waa solely to protect sheep against Infected sheep brought in from Washington, Nevada and Cali fornia, and waa due to the fact that Waahlngton aheep are affected with scabies and had been placed on the quarantine list issued by Governor Chamberlain May 9. H. C Bryaon and Oscar Cain of Walla Walla represent the plaintiff who own about 20.000 sheep, and Judge HaUey was assisted In the defense by Dan P. Smyths, secretary of the Oregon sheep commission.
