gave -Ellis a chance, to, verify his suspicions, for Kuschnick
cut. the..orner. at; Chemefceta- and Liberty streets. . Sergeant
Ellis soon intercepted Kuschnick, lcimbcd into the rear seat
and gave. the prden-fjc ?xm- .
"Drive over to the police station."

said. "Friday, night I was at the

When brought to the station.
his first remark was:
"Let. me call up somebody who
can provide ball money.

He expressed much concern on

line through the Columbia river
gorge, officials thought today the
line would be open tomorrow

Warmer weather has contribu

Heavy rains and Chinook winds
prevailed all yesterday through
the gorge and east of the Cascade
mountains but last night the ram
turned into soft snow in the vicin
ity of Bonneville.
The eastbound snowplow gang
today passed Eagle creek and was
working fast toward Cascade
Locks. The snow plow gang com
ing west from TTood River made
only 75 feet of progress yesterday
because of a monster slide of rock
near Viento which had to be blast
ed away.
The branch line in Deschutes
canyon was still tied up, but a
large force of men with snow
plows was working to clear the
road to Bend. The branch line
from Rices to- Shaniko also as
blockaded todav but will be clear
ed away probably by Monday. The
Condon and Heppner branch lines
are clear and carry on traffic on
normal schedules.
Fifty miles of snow drifts 2

Arguments were submitted Sat
urday morning before Judge
George G. Bingham in the case or
J. E. KImsey against Oscar Steel-
hammer, Marion County assessor,
wherein an effort is! being made to
find some solutions as to the elec
tions held November 5 in which
Marion county roa4 districts vot
ed about $55,000 ' for road im
provements. Judge! Bingham has
taken the matter I hnder advise
ment. ! S
The last legislature passed a
municipal budget bill in which a
road districtt is termed a munici
pal corporation,: something which
a road district apparently cannot
be, as it has no standing officers.
Constitutionality of the act as it
applies to road districts is chal
langed in the suit which Is in the
form of a mandamus to compel the
assessor to levy th tax.
If the circuit coirt and the su
prcme court hold that a road dis
trict is a municipal corporation.
then the road elections are null
and void. Theer ia also a legal
question involved as to whether
the legislative body of the state
can take from the judicial, the
right to determine just what a
road di8tirct is.
Some lawyers hold that the leg
islature is carelessly drawing and
passing the bill providing that a
road district is a municipal cor
poration, had placed impossible
conditions on the road district.
If the new law holds good, ,ctn defegaUon
when a road district wanted to
levy for roads, legal voters in the
district would first have to meet
and prepare a budget. Then 20
days alter, the same voters would
again be obliged to meet and pass
on the budget they had formerly
prepared
