He declared thatthe affidavits from Johnson P. Porter, from the engineer, R. C. Hannaford, and from the IJyery stable man at The Dalles had been procured for the simple purpose of establishing the Oregon Trvfnk. contention that their work had been carried on according to law. and tbat each affidavit was meas ured so that lt iwouid Convey no more and -no less of evidence than was desirable- to put before the court at this time. : - r: " ' He concluded the argument of. the morning by saying that -no matter how the Oregon Trunk affidavits might read that R. C Hannaford. as an engineer, knew F. 8- Gordon's field notes are ab solutely rotten, and there never has been anay accurate survey made up the Deschutea river for tha benefit of the Oregon Trunk, "In fact." ne added, "the survey ts so bad that we are unable to go to work on the places where there is no conflict because we are unable to tell where the points of conflict are and where they are not." . i ; Mr. Cotton also suggested during the morning that the Deschutes litigation cannot possibly be concluded without long and expensive litigation. He pro posed that to shorten the long hearing the court should appoint two competent en ashore. Vanvander notified the police nd the police automobile and a company of firemen were dispatched to tMs scene. Firemen lowered ladders ana crawling "We came into the field, lout on the boom of logs -on the flats, j in. victims 01 i With plkepoles Vhi made our surveys, procured our rights, began - the jaearch for then, two months later., the defendant! the automobile rarty ana xong roas, me iiai in tne vicinity I0S 800 Acres of the Richest Orchard Land in the Famous Umpqua Valley Subdivided into 5, 10 and 20 Acre Tracts We will plant these tracts to commercial varieties of apples, with peach fillers, and furnish scientific care for three years, until the peaches come into bearing, and at that time turn over a perfect -bearing qrchard. , IRRIGATION "is I NOT NECESSARY This is a natural advantage possessed by only a few fruit sections.

To do- so they contest me legality or our survey, as a mat ter of fact the survey Is the smallest Item to be considered. Surveys can be run In any direction and to any num ber. Test or experiment lines may urancn oir irom tne roam line, in cases where ' there is competition, as In the present instance, it is not always wise to let the competitor or the public know what our exact plans are, .."But it is the location which counts. And that location w hava made in ac cordance with all the law. -Counsel for the defendant argues the fraudulence of our survey and reads in support , the affidavit of 8. E. Oordon, In which the claim Is made that T. a Gordon com pleted the survey . which we now hold In 1906. This Is true, but counsel neg lects to explain that for the benefit of the Oregon Trunk railroad, F. 8. Gordon reaurveyed the stretch of 60 miles un der dispute, completing his work within ne aaies prescnoea ny law. ' "Counsel for the defense declares that we 'have deceived the secretary of the interior In securing the approval of our maps. But the secretary of the Inter ior approved our maos with full knowl edge of what he was doing. Ths law on the 'subject reads that what the govern ment has done, only the arovernment can annul. No disposition has been shown on ths part of the secretary of the in terior to withdraw his approval of our maps of location." In support of ths points made, Mr.' Kerr cited a number of pertinent decis ions growing; out of cases of a similar natnre. - . - The S.

"I can't tell just what happened just after that It was all a Jumble, We struggled in the water ana were taken out. I can not aulta collect mvself now: It's too awful to think about."

Every consideration was shown for the defendant by the court and officials. Khe was not required to stand while the Indictment was read, but the district attorney requested that the black veil concealing her features be moved back from her face.1 As this was don she clung close to Mrs. Cameron and to her sister. In turn, moaning softly as the solemn charge was read. As the district attorney began the reading and asked if Kate M. Collins was her true name, she did not answer. Several times the question was repeated. Finally she' gave a slow nod and her attorney, Russell B. 8ewall, answered for her. As the reading proceeded to the words, "murder In the first degree,' she started from-her chair and rose almost to ber feet witn the exclamation, !It's not true." -Then she sank back and nestled her head on the shoulder of her daughter, scarcely moving while the ' remainder of tha Indictment was read. . - . - ' - ' . : it was a pitiful scene, anneal in ta the sympathy of all who witnessed It - Judfre Gatens and - Judre Bronaurh both occupied the bench while the In dictment was read, the former sitting In the capacity of nresldinr tuds-e.
