Tills afternoon wus the tlmo set
by thn county court for the hearing
of the cas(. of Hie O. It. & N against
tlie assessment of Air. Strain. When
the time lor the ease came the room
of the clerk was crowded with men
c-oino to hear the arguments of those
who have me matter In hand. A. S.
Watt nnd J. W. Morrow represented
the company, and C. I'. Strain defend
ed his slue of the question.
All the People Concerned.
Mr. Watt, at tno request of Mr.
Morrow, opened the discussion for
the company. He said in part:
"This is no small matter, but one
of Interest, not only to the company,
but to the county und the people as
well. It is not my purpose, there
lore, to debate, but to talk ovor tho
mutter with you. calmly ami dispas
sionately, attempting to decide what
is the best tiling to be done.
For many years I have been an
employe of this road, but 1 am no
longer one. Yet, moved by the In
terest J have lor the company and
for the good of the country, 1 am here
to talk this matter over. 1 nave the
Interest of the company at heart, and
through that the interest of the
country. I have been a farmer for
many years nnd am therefore ono
who looks to the gooil of the state,
for I have Interests In It.
"In every enterprise there must be
some man or men who will take the
energy and secure and direct it. The
difference between the savage and
the man of civilization. Is thut one
wastes the energy he possesses,
while the other stores it. The rail
road Is tho saver and the conserve!
of the energy of other men. It Is the
energy of men directed in a way tnat
conduces to the good of the people.
Directors of Energy.
".Some people seem to think that
one who directs the energy of other
men Is a detriment to the communi
ty, but that Is a mistake. The man
who directs the energy of other mcu
Is a good to those men. No man can
do much by his unaided efforts. He
must have help to accomplish great
things.
"In 1847 it took me four weeks to
travel from hero to Portland. Now
I enn leave Portland at 8: IB p. ni
and reach here before r, tho next
morning. That Is tho result of tho
coming of the railroad; tho direction
of tho energy of men by men.
"In 1882. when I came hero to ar
range for tho right of way for this
road, tho staco fare from hero to
Walla Walla was 14 cents a mile, and
the wheat of the country was cbarg.
ed tC a hundred from Wallula to
Portland, which had to bo added to
the cost of hauling from tho fields to
tho boat. And most of tho time tne
grain would lay on tho banks of the
river till spring, before It could be
hauled. Now It Is different. Since
the coming of tho road tho freights
have been decreased from year to
year. Threo years ago the freight
rate was 93.50 from hero to Portland,
and It was cut 10 por cent, making
a reduction of freight rates In the
county alone of $35,000. The farm'
ers get the benefit of this. This
year they aro ahead, for with tho high
prices of tho wheat they make as
much as with a full crop, and tho
road loses, for tho reason that It has
not so much to haul.
Community of Interests.
"Between the road and county

there Is a community of Interests,
Villard got tho road built owing to
tho help of tho people of the county.
Tho favors of a community enable
tho road to expand, nnd tho animus
in the nilnils of a place check the
growth. If the people re kindly to
the road tlie purso or tno capitalist
is open for expansion nnd improve
ment; If the people look with disfa
vor on an cntorpnso tho purse
strings aro drawn tight. Taxation Is
tho evidence of tho feeling of the
country for tho corporation.
"Strain Is a man of no moro powjr
than another man. Ho Is entrusted
with tho assessment, and to his Judg
ment is entrusted tho valuation oi
tho property of his neighbors. It ho
errs It is an error in Judgment, nnd
his statement Is not final. Ills judg
ment governs tho case until it is
tnken before tho court for adjust
ment, and then tho matter rests with
the judgment of the court.
"The affairs of tho county nro en
trusted to the Judgment of tho court,
and it Is expected that they will be
disposed of in a mnnner that will
benefit the peoplo of tho county, and
for tho best Interests of nil. In this
case that judgment may bo narrow,
or It may bo broad, looking to the
ultimate good of the county.
Mutual Dependence.
"The road looks to other men for
tho money for its expansion, and the
rotirt governs that growth. The O.
H. & N. is tho road of tho county,
and it has made tho county great.
If it were not for t he road wheat
would bo unmarketable, and Pendle
ton would have no excuse for growth
or expansion. The road depends on
the county, nnd the county on tho
road.
"Tho better tho condition of tho
road the lower tho rates, nnd tho
more saving for tho public. Tho car
dinal principles of tho road Is, 'It I
better to get small profits out of n
large business than to get largo
profits out of a small business.' This
I sa good maxim. The road wants
to expand and grow, but the pcoplu
must not chill that growth by an un
favorable and unjust taxation."
Mr. Morrow Will Follow.
Mr. Watt's remarks wore tho ex
pressions of an experienced nnd able
man, having a wide acquaintance
with men and affairs. He mado no
effort at oratory, but stated his side
of the case, sitting In a chair, talk
ing In a familiar tone of voice, and
interspersing his argument with
stories which brought smiles to tlie
studious faces of tho couit and oven
Assessor Strain.
Mr. Morrow will supplement tho
remarks of Mr. Watt with arguments
for tho company, and while Mr.
Strain lias his argument prepared, It
is evident that he will answer direct
ly many of tho points mado by Mr.
Watts, as all the main arguments of
Mr. Watts have been carefully noted
for reference.
At 4 o'clock Mr. Watt Is still talk
lug to tho court, and It is not likely
that ho wll finish tonight.
One of the most noticeable features
of Mr. Watt's talk is that ho gives
Mr. Strain great credit for being a
student of his business, and for ex
ercising his Judgment in discharging
the trust imposed In turn by tho pco
pie.
Mr. Watt does not say what he
valuation shall be. Ho says ho does
not know what tho value Is. The
property of the company Is bound up
In stocks and bonds which fluctuate
In value, and in various kinds of
property which it would bo impossl
ble to name a true value for.
One thing for which ho contends
Is uniformity of valuo, throughout
the state, In order that Justice bo
done to the company at every point.
Tho valuation fixed In other counties
Is $0,!00 per mile, and whllo ho has
not asked for a reduction to this
basis in Umatilla county, he suggests
by inference that uniformity would
mean practically this reduction,

havo given tho matte.r thought, thnt
there should bo some protection to
the city at tlie head of thu Intuko

they end Is open ground, and It Is tho
desire of the city to take measures
to protect them from possible con
tamination. With this end In view,
tho city last night directed (1. A.
Hartman to examine Into thn title
of lots 1, 2. nnd 3 and 12, 13 nnd 11

So far there have been 10C men of
