In the legal battle waged between
the state of Oregon and the Portland
Oerfernl Klectrlc company, the first
encounter was won by the company,
says the Oregon Pally Journal. The
state is suing for 10 per cent of the
net ci.rnhigs of the locks at Oregon
Cltv, now owned by the company,
from 1S74 to 1904, claiming this
money is due on account of a con
tract made with the company that
built the locks at the time when the
state auin-oprlated $200,000 to aid In
this wom.
Frederick V. Holtnan, attorney for
the company, filed a demurrer to a
part of the complaint, alleging that
owing to the statute of limitations no
motleys could be sued for that were
alleged to have been collected before
1S97. Presiding Judge Arthur I..
Frazer this morning sustained the de
murrer. In arguing the demurrer, attorneys
for the state contended the statute
of limitations did not run against the
commoawcalth. that the giving of the
subsidy to the company gave the state
an interest In the water improvement,
that this interest in the locks could
also be claimed In that they were
built on a portion of the state's prop
erty and. tfiat the company was acting
as an igent for the state.
Judf. ? Prayer held that under a law
passed in 1103 the statute of limita
tions could not run against the state
heieafter nor six years prior to the
passing of the hill. This decision
wipes out a large portion of the de
mand made by the state.
The action was begun several weeks
ago by Attorney Cleneral A. M. Craw
ford and District Attorney John Man
ninir. The locks at Oregon City were built
by the Willamette Falls Canal
Loci's company, whose interests have
since beei absorbed by the Portland
Otenernl Plectric company The for
mer company asl.ed aid from th--state.
Tills was at last granted upon
the condition that the state was to re
fer, e 111 per cent of the net earnings
01' the company. October 21. ls'.'ii.
the legislature passed a bill granting
$21111 lion to aid the proposed Improve
ment. II is alleged that the company
has failed to make any payments.
In the abs'-nce of the attorney gen
eral. Attorney Holman asked that the
j state be allowed 11 days pi which to
j move further in the case. This was

The lournat's Hawaiian trip party
will start for Hie islands today. Th
party is composed of the 10 yountr
women of Ore-con who won In the re
cent voting contest conducted tby the
Journal, says the Oregon Pally Jour
nal of Monday. The votes the youni;
women received, ntrtrre itlitK about 2,
000,'jOf'. constitute a striking testimo
nial of their popularity and of the
hleh esteem In which the Journal Is
held in OreRon,
No contest ever conducted by a
newspaper aroused no much enthusi

most liberal ever (riven by a newspa
per west of the Rocky mountains. The
party will have a royal time for a
number of weeks, more than two of
which will be spent In Hawaii, 'where
elaborate plans have been made to
entertain the Journal's guests.
Team Went Into tliii Canyon.
West brothers, living at the Lower
Uridine, had a serious runaway some
time iiko. They owned a fine span of
Kiays, welching in tho neighborhood
of 1 440 pounds each. One day while
cuing after a loud of hay and passing
through a gate the team was stopped.
While Mr. West was shutting the mite
they took a notion to try their speed,
but forgot about all danger, running
to the brlnk-of Deep canyon where the
rim was about 40 feet high, they
mude a short turn, the hind wheels
of the wagon slid around and off the
bluff taking the team with it. Ono
horse was killed outright, the other
llvlUK two weeks. The wagon was a
total wreck and Mr. West said that
tin two pieces of it were together.

FIDDLING AWAY.

The Fast Oregonian goes Into most
of the Pendleton homes besides hav
ing a clrcitlatlon'throughout the coun
try of which we are very proud. Ow
ing to the fact that the semi-weekly
goes to practically every Intelligent
farmer within a radius of E0 miles
and that those more distant take the
Weekly Last Oregonian. this paper
covers the field far more thoroughly
thin any other newspaper. Just as
an example of why the East Oregon
ian Is taken in preference to other
papers, especially morning papers, the
case of Helix can be cited. We have
69 subscribers in Helix for the Fast
Oregonian, 20 of which are for the
Dally and the rest for the Semi
Weekly. This Is several times as
many us any other paper. The train
leaves Pendleton for Helix at 5 p. in
putting t.he Pally East Oregonian In
Helix at 6 o'clock, or two hours after
it is issued. Wlien the morning pa
pers arrive there their news Is an
cient history, hence the insignificant
uumbcr of person who take the
morning paper. The same is true of
Adams, Athena, Weston, Milton and
Frecwater. The same Is true here In
Pendleton, as the paper In the morn
ing must of necessity repent what has
already teen told the evening before
1 nth" Fast Oregonian, which being
printed at the close of the day, gives
the news the day It happens.
Circulation brings results to the nd
vertlser when it Is home circulation,
paid circulation and If the paper is
read for Its news value.
The East Oregonian Is nil this ami
the Intelligent advertiser knows it.
If you are not making a sufficient
use of our columns Increase your
since and give proper attention to the
composition of your advertising and
you will increase your business. The
