Value of Umatilla County Tim

Outsiders Than by Home People
Eleven Passengers on Vkiah Singe
Yesterday.
That the priceless timber land of
southern Umatilla county Is far more
attractive to residents of other states
than to those of Oregon and Umatilla
county. Is shown by the fact that a
constant stream of timber land locat
ors, cruisers and speculators Is pour
ing from this city into the Uklnh dis
trict by way of the Ukiah stage line,
dally.
The stase Is loaded from this city
almost every day. A the office of

Yesterday an extra team was sent to
Ukiah and 11 men took passage from

number of passengers Is from four to

Very few Umatilla county people

ton. Idaho, Montana and other north
west states are plentiful.

FAITH IX NORTHERN IRAnO.
I fold by S,. P, Donnelly, Democratic
Wnrhorso of Lakevlew.
8. P. Donnelly, of Lakevlew, Idaho,
who has beon In town several days
until yesterday, Is one of the strong
men In the democratic camp of north
ern Idaho, . According to his friends,
of whom he has some In this city, ho
is the lead charger among the party
werhorss of his end of the state,
and that he has met with some politi
cal suacess, though with the minority
party, is shown by the fact that he
Is a former state senator.
However, Mr Donnelly is at present
more enthusiastic over the beauties
of his home town than over the politi
cal situation In Idaho. "We have
beaten so many times, while I am not
growing weaker in my faith or be
coming discouraged, I feel like tak
ing the count every time from force
of habit."
Rut upon the beauties of his home
town and county Mr. Donnelly is more
optimistic. "Lakevlew Is the pretti
est little spot on the globe," declared
he, "or at least It Is In the summer
time. It lies along side of Lake Pend
d'Orellle and is the delight of tourists
who have seen the attractions of this
and other lands."
Over a week ago Mr. Donnelly pass
ed through the city on his way to
Boise and yesterday he was returning
from that place via Portland and the
sound over the Northern Pacific.

CREW RESENTS NOTORIETY.
W. & C, R, Men Still Live as Usual
Don't Appreciate Slander.
Members of the W, & C. R. train
crew which operates the transconti
nental line between this city and Pas
co when conditions permit of such,
deeply resent the cheap advertising
that Is being given them by the Morn
ing Mistake. In this morning's paper
there was a short story to the effect
that the members of the crew were
financially embarrassed by reason of
their long stay here and In conse
quence were forced to wash their own
socks and live upon a self-made menu.
"I don't know where they get their
Information from," said Conductor
Bartholet this morning, "but we are
tired of their cheap notoriety. We
are still staying at the best hotels and
were able to attend the theater last
night. Also, we have had money
with which to buy some valentines,
and would send the Tribune one If we
thought It worth while."
After many days of testimony and
close legal argument, the famous
flood damage case of Baker & Fol-
som against the city and W. S. By
ers was given to the Jury at 12:30 to
day. The 12 men were sent to the
Jury room for their verdict after they
had listened for over an hour to the
Instructions of the court.
It was after 11 o'clock this fore
noon when the lawyers In the case
concluded their final arguments and
a recess wns then taken until 11:30.
In charging the Jury Circuit Judge
Bean rend many typewritten pages of
Instructions that had been submitted
by the attorneys on either side. Also,
he read in full the complaint of the
plaintiffs, the answer of the defend
ants and the other legal documents
filed before the case was tried out
upon Its merits.
Among other things the Jury was
charged that the plaintiffs may be
awarded damages from both the de
fendants, or fronf either of them indi
vidually. He charged that if Byers
had accepted the culvert at the end
of the tall race as a part of his race,
he was thereby made responsible for
its malntalnance the snme as for
other portions of the race. He also
charged that If the city had at one
time constructed a floodgate at the
culvert It was In duty bound to main
tain the same. On the other hand, he
charged that the plaintiffs could not
recover damages If the evidence
showed they had failed to use ordi
nary care and prudence In trying to
protect their goods from damage by
the flood.
It was 12:30 when the charge to
the Jury was completed, and after the
bailiff had been sworn the 12 men
filed out of the court room to com
mence their deliberations. A recess
was taken until 2 o'clock.
Jury I Slow.
Up to 4 o'clock this afternoon the
J'fy had not yet arrived at a verdict.
Owing to the mass of evidence In the
case, the numercus documents sub
mitted as material evidence and the
length of the Judge's charge, It Is pos
sible the Jury will not finish its labors
for many hours.

not the fault of our line of Jewelry,
for it is as good as can be.
No trouble to suit you In price, still
less in Juality, design or workman
ship. We have a great many little things
that would make sensible gifts for
valentines. ,

half miles In length and during the
coldest weather Is frozen over com'
pletely, making a magnificent natur
al skating rink.
