MARTIAL LAW WlLL PREVAIL IN MILL TOWN (United Prt-M LtA W!r, Merryville, La., Nov. lfi. That mar tial law will be declared here tomorrow Is a foregone conclusion. Governor Hall, It is considered certain, will Issue an order prohlDlting a scncuuiea mass meeting of 3000 striking timber workers similar to the demonstration at Garbow last July, which was followed by a pitched battle. The streets tonight were choked with inert, all excited and denouncing the officials of the American Lumber com pany. Many are armed. Four companies of state troops aro now on duty and three others are march ing cross country to the town. Presi dent Emerson of tha Brotherhood oi Timber Workers, which Is allied with the I. W.

These 1. tiara been secured as far as possible, and the corporation attorneys fWl sat isfied that the title will prove satisfac tory to the government. "The Portland Railway, Light & Power company, and its predecessors have had ownership and possession of the property slnca 1872," said Attorney R, A. Lelter yesterday, "and that In it self gives perfect title. However, to -make the abstract as complete as pos sible, we hare secured a voluminous lot of evidence that I feel will fully es tablish a perfect title. We are ready te submit the perfected abatract In a couple of days to District Attorney Mc Court for approval." Wo Record of Beleases round. ' District Attorney McCourt stated yesterday that immediately upon receipt of what he believes a clear title, tli papers will be forwarded to Washing ton, D. C, to the attorney general for approval. Examination of the records revealed a number of mortgages not released on the books, but It is taken for granted . that they were satisfied and the dis trict attorney presumes that thry may . i i ...i... j . . . . i . --v xcij woncu, nn nicy oie uttrreu U by the statute of limitation. ;y In the early history of t tie state, two small townsites were located, at the .falls on property involved and some dlf fioillty has been experienced in Ketting traces of the plats. It is held, however, by the company attorneys that this is immaterial, since tjie statute of limi tation would remedy this apparent de fect In the title. The property bus also been carefully surveyed by the corpora tion's engineers. A couple of leases ' of part of the property to the paper mills at Oregon City also figure in the delay in that the government will probably want rea sonable assurance that these leases will not prevent or dlay the proposed canal Improvements. In connection with this it is stated, by the corporation attor neys tht they, have no cause for fear of delays from that source. People. up the valley aie anxious to have the transaction closed as .quickly , i' -as possible, for opening of the runul to ' f fre traffic will remove a charge of 60 ' f- cents on every ton of freight moving up or down ia vaney oy me water -route, and possibly by raH,too, since 'records show that rail tariffs are large. ly governed and regulated by water competition.
