Dnnser of Injunction.
For some time past it has been ru
mored that the'Barbcr Asphalt people
were thinking of trying to stop the
city from giving a contract to the
Warren company, by having an in
junction served. It Is now learned
from a reliable source that such Is
the Intention of the Jlsgruntled com
pany, provided, of course, they can
secure some local property owner to
do the thing for them, for the com-
j pnny Itself is not qualified to bring
. such a suit.
Would Delay Indefinitely.
't Is said that Immediately after
the contract has been let the Warren
people the Barber company will ask
Tor an Injunction and bring suit to set
aside the council's action, claiming
lb it competition was net allowed bv
fhnt body. Should such a suit be
"brought and a proper bond executed.
injunction would be forthcoming nnd

require so much time that It would
compel the work to be ibandoned for

Such being the case the bringing of

for the various classes of pavement.
Among others the Warren Construc

The Barber company claimed to have
the same thing under a different name
and at a cheaper price. However,
they had no samples anywhere in the
west, at least, and the council wanted
to be "shown." Consequently, the
street committee decided that the
wisest thing was to buy the bitulithic,
which they had seen and found to be
good. Whether the decision was a
wire one or not Is a metter for experts
to decide. But it was the Judgment
of honest men who had studied the
matter and wished to do the best thing
for the city and themselves, for they
were property owners In the paving
district.
(Vinncilmcn Denounce Scheme.
Several members of the council
who were seen this morning express
ed In strong terms what they would
think of the Barber Asphalt company
If It tries to keep the city from pav
ing with bitulithic after the company
had failed to sell Its own pavement.
They declare the Barber company has
no business Interfering In such a mat
ter, and ak if the company Is in the
habit of doing business bv such meth
ods, Who Would Re Cutspnw?
There are many who doubt that the
Barber company can find a local prop
erty owner nf the necessary stripe to
assist them In tin Ir scheme. After
the public has clamored so long for
paving and the council has worked .so
hard upon the proposition they say
it would be a "bootlegger" Indeed who
would allow himself to be used for the
purpose of blocking paving In the
manner suggested. Such a man would
have 5050 hammers going against him
from that time on, and it Is evident
that, figuratively at least, it would
be better for hlnrto have a millstone
around his neck and be thrown Into
the deep sra rather than to do such
a thing.
ARE EASTBODND
OX THE TRACKS BETWEEN
LA GRAN DE AN D PORTLAND.
Only a Normal Volume of Westbound
Freight Congestion Due to Delays
Caused by the Floods Local Yards
Crowded With Freight Trains About
lo Their Capacity Consignments of
Limilier Mainly.
It is estimated by O. R. & N. of
ficials that there are now 1000 east
bound carloads of freight on the sys
tem between Portland and La Grande.
Most of this enormous freight move
ment is lumber destined for Colorado,
Nebraska, Utah, Idaho, Kansas and
further eastern points.
There Is only the normal amount of
wesioouna freight moving now. but
every sidetrack is filled with eastbound
loads. Freight crews are run over the
road with only cabooses, to bring back
eastbound loads, and all the engine
and train crews are ln the "chain
gang" or pool, no crew holding a reg-
ular eng'ne or caboose.
This morning the yards ln this city
contained four freight trains at one
lime, aimost the entire capacity of
me jartts being used to hold these
iratns.
The rush has been occasioned by
the delay to traffic uused bv the
washouts. While trains were tied up
tetween Echo and Ln Grande ami
while tracks were being repaired,
hundreds of carloads of lumber and
other freight were being loaded at all
points In western Oregon, and now
that traffic is resumed the movement
amounts to something In tne nature of
a mocKade.
Since Inst Monday morning over 700
eastbound carloads have passed
through the yards In this city, the
largest number on record. Five and
six double-header trains have passed
over tne mountain ench day
BIG MILL FOR LA GRANDE.

Dr. Oeorge O'Conner, of La Grande,
a leading real estate dealer of La
Grande, is In the city today on busi
ness. He says that it is now defi
nitely decided that the Palmer Lum
oer company will build a sawmill at
Oro Dell, one mile from La Grande
on the Grand Ronde river. The citi
zens of La Grande have Just raised a
subsidy to purchase 73 acres of land
for a mill site and the mill is assured.
The logs will be hauled by trains
from the Looking Glass country north
of Elgin, along the Wallowa branch
of the O. R. ft N. and four or five
logging trains will be needed to handle
the supply for the big mill. The ca
pacity will be from 100,000 to 150.000
feet per day.
The total number of men employed
In the mill nnd in Industries dependent
upon It, will be nenrly 300 nnd this
permanent addition to the population,
means much for La Grande.
