Supreme Court Decision on Railroad
Hates Not Widespread.
According to Attorney General J.
D. Williams of this state, the recent
decision of the United States supreme
court holding unconstitutional the
Minnesota railway rate law does not
have an Important bearing upon the
railroad commission law of this state
or the litigation now pending concern
ing that law, says a Seattle item.
Mr. Williams holds that the Minne
sota rate law was held to be uncon
stitutional because It precluded a re
sort to the courts for the purpose of
testing its validity while there Is
nothing In the railroad commission
law of this state which precludes such
a thing.
"The railroad commission law of
this state, it is true. Imposes a penal
ty upon railroad or express com
panies, or their agents, for refusing
to obey the orders of the commis
sion, states Mr. Williams. This pen
alty is $250 a day for each day of
the continuance of such neglect or re
fusal. There is no penalty by Im
prisonment as in the Minnesota rate
law.
"After the railroad commission has
made an order fixing a rate, which
rate Is determined only after investi
gation of a very complicated and
technical character, as was not the
case with the Minnesota rate law, the
railroad affected or aggrieved by such
order may have the order reviewed by
the supreme court, and is dissatisfied
with the findings of the court may
appeal to the supreme court. Pend
ing such review the court may sus
pend the order of the commission.

The Columbia Is Clear.
The Portland contractors, Wake-
1 field & Jacobsen. who have been
dredging and otherwise clearing the
channels of the Columbia at what Is
! known as Three-Mile Rapids, near
this city, have completed their work
'and brought the dredge to The Dalles
I where it is now moored, says an item
, from The Dalles. The removal of the
rocks and reefs from this portion of
: the Columbia has cost the govern-
ment about $100,000, and has occu-
pled several years, though It could
.have been finished sooner but for the
'fact that it could not be carried on
the year around, on account of high
'water. The Columbia is now free
from .impediments to the Big Eddy,
where It connects with the portage
road.

Instead of the 30 hours
required by the former schedule, the
people of Lewlston-Clarkston. are

land. Portland's Building Booth.
"I have never heard so many people
express their Intention of building, ns

land's oldest residents last week.

so active, and people In a position to

Sheridan Will Advertise.
Sheridan, Ore., had a meeting last
Saturday with the Idea of organizing
for the advertising of their town and
Its vicinity. The business houses of
the town were closed so that every
one might participate, and many
farmers from the surrounding coun
try were present. Quite a delegation
came over from McMlnnvllle. A
thousand dollars was raised for pub
licity, and to this fund the farmers
were liberal contributors. Sheridan
will nfflllate with the Oregon Devel
opment league Immediately.
Realty Excursion.
A new feature Introduced by the
Portland Realty Board Is a weekly
excursion for Its members, either to
some suburban addition to Portland
or to some point more distant, to
thoroughly familiarize them with the
city, Its environment and the state In
general. Last Saturday they charter
ed two speclnl cars and went to Sa
lem a hundred strong over the new
trolley line, to attend the horse show
111 the capital city. The excursionists
were unanimous In pronouncing these
Interurban lines the most Important
factor In the development of any sec
tion. There Is on assurance that a
line srll be constructed between Sa
lem and Stayton very soon.

Portland Says li lu Injustice.
Having perpetrated an act of
Justice in slating in the United States
senate that there was hut 1! to 20
feet of water on the Columbia river
bar, Senator Perkins of California,
will be requested by the Chamber of
Commerce of Portland, to remedy his
unwarranted assertion by making to
the senate a statement of the true
depth of water, says the Portland Tel
egram. There Is 26 H feet of water
on the bar tit low water, and at high
tide there Is 32 feet. Even Brigadier-General
A. Mackenzie, chief of
engineers of the United States army,
is In error as to the depth of water
on the bar, and the Chamber of Com
tneerce will also take this matter up
with him.
