As to . Mr. Bourne,. I do not care to comment on i the gentleman; his interests In the east ire, sufficient proof of his sympathy. As to your chance of nomination over Mr. Bourne, I am not qualified fo say.

By what I can see and bear, Mr. Bourne does not stand nearly so well with the people as he did when he ran- before.

The Judge ordered a trial, whereupon the. district 'attorney consented to dis miss the case. , . Attorney Wood would hot consent to the dismissal of , the oase, but. Insisted that a Jury be empaneled and the de fense ; be. allowed to show that Rahles did not forge any', names. . This was allowed by the Judge. 'George W.

Railroad in 1 863 m The early history: of ; Oregon the crucial periods) .when the building. of a railroad meant aettlement and develop mentor abandonment waa crowded into additional testimony taken this morning in the government's fight to recover from the Southern Pacific the old Oregon A California land grants. Joseph Gaston told :, the story. He said before Spec! a Examiner ' Miss Fleming, before B. D. Townsend. special prosecutor for the government andl W, D. Fenton, counsel for the Southern Pa- cirio,. that he had come to Oregon In sio Jacksonville. , in 186. came a party of surveyors li. G. Eliot Georce H. Belden and A. C. Barry and lacking funds and support they were stranded. Then Gaston 'proceeded to organise and get money for the California & Colum bia River Railroad company, and to keep the surveyors at work. Finally the uregon legislature In 18C8. was asked to pay interest on the bonds of the company amounting to $1,000,000. This, of course, was separate from the grant of alternate sections to what are, now the Harriman Interests, he said, but it went to show the deeD nlannlna- and hard work necessary xo get confidence for the project sufficient to secure the making of the land grant. And then with the grant and the approval of the government that it expressed financing the road and building It were mors or less Incidental matters. . ; . r . . v Since Judge Wolverton decided ' the Oregon Sc.

O'Brien, representing the com pany, this proposal was made. wot .satisfied with this figure, the county asked for plans and specifica tions of ths bridge, and will select an engineer to figure the cost of the upper deck.' upon which cost an effort Will be made to beee a percentage rental." The company figures the ' rental at - S per cent, while the county court declares this too high. . According to the figures of ths rail way company, the upper -deck y cost $800,000. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. Is asked to pay $1600 each month to use, the new bridge.' The county now pays $250 a month for the use of the upper deck of the old bridge, Which will soon be discontinued. : Action on the matter Is being held up by the ooun,ty until the connty engi neer . can pass upon the cost ' of the upper deck. When this cost is ascer tained,, the county court will make an offer based upon a rate lower than the 5 per cent. 1 -i , - The county court , Is of the opinion that the railway, company should lease the vpper deck, to the county for less than to the street car company.; County Judge Cleeton says 6 per cent la exorbi tant, and that the county court -will not pay it, as far as he Is concerned.'
