' The management of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Co. (Oregon Lines) takes great
pleasure in announcing that the low rates from eastern cities, which have done so much
in past seasons to stimulate travel to and settlement in Oregon, will prevail again this
spring DAILY from March 1 to April 15. inclusive.

People ot Oregon
The railroads have done their part; now it's up to you. The colonist rate is the great
est of all homebuilders. Do all you can to let eastern people know about it, and encour
age them to come here, where land is cheap and Homebuilding easy and attractive.
FARES CAN BE PREPAID at home if desired. Any agent of the O. R. & N. Co.
is authorized to receive the required deposit and telegraph ticket to any point in the
east
REMEMBER THE RATES From Chicago ?33, from St Louis ?32, from
Omaha and Kansas City $25. This reduction is proportionate from all other cities.

NEW JUSTICE OF SUPREME COUR
Washington. It is interesting to
watch how industriously Associate
Justice Horace H. Lurton is working
to earn his 312,500 salary.
The newest member of the Supreme
Court of the United States took the
bench on January 8, and he hadn't
been on the Job seven weeks before
he had rendered opinions in seven
Important cases one fifth 'of the
number of cases argued In that time.
Three of these were in the famous
"cotton leak" litigation, a complex
controversy which has dragged
through the courts for two years and
accumulated additional obscurity
with every move.
Justice Lurton takes his work seri
ously. He remains wide awake dur
ing the entire day, listening attentive
ly to arguments made by counsel, and
shows his Interest by frequent ques
tioning. Not all of his colleagues are
as strenuous two at least spend a
goodly part of the day quietly snooz
ing. The newspaper men who "cover"
the court breathed a sigh of . relief
when the new Justice cleared his
throat snd started In on his maiden
opinion his enunciation was dis
tinct and his sentences audible
throughout the court room. That Is
a rare quality. Of the other Justices
tliere are only three who have really
good speaking voices Justice Moody,
Day and Holmes. The rest keep the
newspaper men on edge to catch what
they are saying. Chief Justice Puller
who Is almost eighty years of age. has
a voice absolutely Inaudible fifteen
feet from the bench; Justice Brewer
I a nearly as difficult to understand;
Justice Harlan warms u'p only when
deciding a very Important constitution
al question; Justice White has a trick
of beginning n sentence loudly, but
dwindling his voice down to nothing
after the first three words; Justice
McKenna has a weak voice, despite
his efforts to enunciate clearly, and
even Justice Holmes, who has a
strong enough voice (with Buston ac
cent) takes delight In verbal Intri
cacies that are hard to follow.
But this is only one of the troubles
of the newspapermen. The supreme
court is a stickler for tradition, pro
cedure, and forms, and it would nev
er do to favor the press. Therefore,
the correspondents must manage to
get along without advance copies of
opinions. There Is a slight conces
sion to press associations, the repre
sentatives of which are assigned seats
directly In front of the bar, and given
pages who carry their "copy" to mes
senger outside the court room.
Naturally, the members of the court
are the foremost legal technicians in
the country. Their opinions are di
rected toward clearing abstruse legal
situations. Wherefore It happens that
the correspondents who, If they were
legal sharps wouldn't be In the new
paper game, have a bard time of It
ascertaining Just what Is meant by
such and such a, decision.
It Isn't safe for the reporter to send
out a "bulletin" or a "flash" regard
ing a decision of the court until the
justice delivering that decision shall
have said the lost word and some
times not even then. It Is a favorite
trick for the Justices In delivering
opinions, to start with one sldo, appar
cntly fully sutaln every point, and,
when the newspaperman has Just de
cided to make his bulletin to this ef
fect, suddenly to veer off, with the
words "however," etc., or "on the
other hand," "still, contrariwise,"
C J.

and so on, and then follow with what
Is apparently Just as fully an affirma
tion of the opposite view.
Then, frequently, the court doesn't
directly specify "affirmed," or "re
versed,", but qualifies this action with
other Instructions- This Is the sig
nal for the press men to tear their
hair. For Instance, last year on the
court's decision on the "commodities Washington's football schedule is
clause" of the railway rate law a now complete. It provides that of
case of tremendous Importance each tne four big conference games three
of the three association men at the wiIl be played In Seattle. Last year
court sent out a different flash. It Washington made $6000 on football
took them half an hour to figure out, and with such a favorable schedule,
afterward, Just exactly what Justice tnat figure should be exceeded easily.
White meant In his opinion, and then Th following games will constitute

he is despairingly attempting to dis
cover what the chief Justice had been
saying about case number "625, he
Is banded a message from his boss, j
"Opposition says re Olentagy bridge,
that secretary of war has not got the
power. HowT
The correspondent doesn't dare
leave the court room until all the de
cisions have' been rendered, for fear
of losing an Important one. A press
association man last year left the room
for Just a moment to straighten out a
"qulry" from his office, and In that
time Chief Justice Fuller announced
that the court had denied the peti
tion of the government for a hearing
of the $29,000,000 Standard OH case.
He didn't get this extremely import
ant news Item for at least ten min
utes and then only because he hap-
pened to hear some lawyers talking
about It. '
From the fact that the opinions as
rendered by the court contain only a
"legal history" of the case, and sol- ,
doni present the facts in a way in
which they could be used by the
newspaperman, and, also, because
very often the Justices merely on-;
nounoe "Case number so-and-so; for
reasons stated in the opinion, we re
verse the Judgment," it Is necessary
for the correspondents to have a care
fully prepared synopsis of every case
on the docket all ready, from which
to secure the essential facts On the lit
igation in question, when decision Is
rendered. The only way to get this
Information Is
to digest ' the trans-
( ript of the record, which often
spreads through half a dozen volumes.
The Missouri river rate case takes up
seven large books of 400 odd pages
each; th tobacco trust cases fill up
two 500 page volumes, there are many
others Just as bulky.
One of the press association
now covering the court has been at
work for fifteen years, and every Mon
day the regular decision day of the
court, he has the same sort of stage
fright as the yourfgsters.

Oregon has a contest scheduled with
O. A. C. for that date. An effort was
made by Oregon to shift the engage

rn E KEXDALS WILL BID
FAREWELL TO THE STAGE
London. The Kendals have been
seen on the stage for the last time.
A definite announcement has been
made at Liverpool by Mrs. Kendal,
who prefaced an address to a large
meeting of ladles, in which she In
cluded interesting reminiscences and
comments on the theatrical matters,
with the words, "Now that I have re
tired from the stage."
Mr. Kendal hinted in a letter in the
autumn of last year that their farewell
of the stage would be marked by no
ceremony, "it Is our desire," he said,
"to leave the profession as quietly and
unobtrusively as we have all our lives
endeavored to follow It."
He also said: "It Is very Improb
able that we shall tour or appear In
London next year, or ever again.
Farewell,' after all In these days s
only a form of self-advertisement."
Their final appearance on the stage
was last December at the Broadway
theatre, New Cross.
Mrs. Kendal made an Interesting
revelation regarding her husband and
herself and their unbroken profession
al association in her speech at Liver
pool. She said that prior to their
marriage her father gave his consent
to it on what was a firm understand
ing that they should always act to
gether a condition of things which,
she believed, yet found favor with
, manv Playgoers.
