The farmer of Clatsop county want
a market In Astoria. The merchants or
the rlty have determined that they
hull have It, It will be located In a
central and convenient place, and It
will afford the farmer not only a place
In which, to aell hi produce, cattle, or
horses, but accommodations for hi
teuni on market day. It need no
logical discourse to demonstrate the
usefulness and necessity of auch an In
lltulion In tin city. It I plain to
everyone that oil tnlcresta will be run
erved by the eBtabllihment of a mar
ket place. The open market la an old-
fashioned Inaltutlon, but la not yet out
if date nor tin It piwuwd It usefulness
even In the thickly aettled Eastern
lute. In the Weil the condition are
particularly favorable to general mar
ket place, and In Astoria and Clataop
county the circumstances peculiarly oall
for auch an Institution.
In a number of business houses yes-
tenlay afternoon, the subject of a gen
eral markt waa discussed. There aeem
ed to be but one opinion. A market
place muat be provided In Astoria. The
only question of difference waa a to
the better locution. Home contended
that the courthouse square, all thlnga
considered, would be the beat place to
establish the market, at least for the
present. There la enough unused space
In the courthouae yard to afford the
iwi'iiuiry accommodatlona, and the lo
cation I all that could be desired. There
were other who thought that the niar-
ket hould lie established on the lot on
14th treet between Commercial and
Kxchang. Here cho farmer would b
a little nearer to the principal bundles
houses and nearer to the main rad out

Iicclde the Wright Irrigation I-aw to
lie Constitutional.
Washington. November 1 The Unit
ed Htates supreme court t'iday rendered
an opinion KUHialnlng the constitution-
alltfof the Wright Irrigation law. Call
fornla, and overruling the declin of
the Cnlted Htates circuit court for the
California district which decided
agolmit the law' validity.
The case In which the opinion was
rendered was that of the Full lirook
Irrigation Company v. Maria King
Uradley. IV ho attracted widespread
Interest throughout the Itocky coun-
tain and coaat n-glona.
There were two cases before the su
preme court Involving the constitution
ality of the Wright law, permitting
California to be divided Into Irrigation
district and the property In the dis
trict to be taxed for the construction
of Irrigation works. In the federal
court the declaion waa against the
Wright law, while In the atate court
It waa sustained. Today's decision will
apply to both ulta. The Imiiortance of
the decision 4s not confined to the state
of California, but affects irrigation In
terest entire, and seml-lrrlgatlon In
the many states which have adopted
the law. The cose alu Involved the
broad constitutional question of the
right of taxation a.nd the taking of pri
vate property without due process of
law.

rartlal Victory for tho Heirs of the
Late Senator Fnlr.
Ban Francisco, November 16. A tre
mendou sensation In connection with
the Fair will controversy was caused
this morning by Attorney Del in as, act
Ing for Mrs. Craven, the alleged con
tract widow of James G. Fair, and for
Murk Llnvlngston, named as executor
of the so-called pencil will. Delmns, on
behalf of those parties, withdrew the
pencil will, which he had offered for
probate. This, it Is believed, practical
ly ends the litigation which bids fair
to be Interminable.
It Is now understood now that the
trust will will now be admitted to pro
bate. The trust feature of this will
was declared to be Illegal so far as
real property was concerned. It Is
said the action this morntg Is the re
sult of an agreement entered Into by
all parties to the litigation and that
Mrs. Craven, Dr. Mark Livingston and
others have been recompensed by the
heirs for any loss they might sustain
through an abandonment of their position.
Attorney Delmaa said his reason for
withdrawing the pencil will offered by
Mark Livingston and Mr. Nettle Cra
ven was to strengthen Mrs. Craven's
Times-Herald.
A young lawyer who lives In Cincin

what upjii one of the older members
f the bar of that city. The older at

Judge Sage, and had talked Incessantly
for two hours. He had gone over and
over the ground and up In the air and
down below the surface of the iu.s
tlon. until It seemed as If nothing was
left for him to soy. He had talked
and talked until almost all of the list
eners were either tuileep or wished
they were, and those who were atlll
awake were about making up their
mind to rise In their might and throw
chalro and things at him, when sud
denly and unexpectedly the long-wind
ed man stopiwd short and coughed.
'I would like a glas of water," he
said to teh court attendant, and the
man disappeared to get It for him.
For a moment there was a long
drawn sigh from the listeners, and
then Judge Sare loaned forward to the

whispered
