C., July 7.— “ We find and decide uixni all the facts and circumstances disclosed by our investigation that the regu lations of the railroads, which re quire shippers of lumber on open cars to stake and secu re their loads for safe carriage, are not unjust or unreasonable.” This opinion of the interstate commerce commission in the car- stake case was rendered by C hair- man Knapp today. Walker Divorce Case. The l ’. tl. Walker divorce case was on for hearing before Judge Harris Wednesday afternoon at Eugeni* and the court room con taiued a large crowd of witnesses from this city. The case was strongly contested and some evi dence was sworn to that would make very spicy reading, the grounds on which the divorce pro ceeding is based by Mrs. Walker, being cruel and inhuman treat ment. The custody of three minor children and considerable property is involved in the proceeding. J. M. Sherwood, A. A. Rich mond, J . M. Durham and wife, Roy Baker and wife and L. A. Walker constituted a party of Cottage drove people in Eugene Thursday, most of whom were witnesses in this divorce proceed- ing. DIVORCE CASK A LONG ONE. Shield’s Magazine, devoted to game protection, nature study and outdoor life, whose editor is presi dent National S|iortsmau League, has the following in its July num ber couceruing Hon. J . W. Baker, of Cottage drove: Hon. J . W. Baker, who has served the state of Oregon faith fully four years as State dame Warden, has been let down by the dovernor and I understand this action is due to the pressure brought to liear on the Chief Ex ecutive by men who want to buy and sell game all through the year. Mr. Baker has been radically op posed to this custom and has vig orously and rigidly and fearlessly enforced the state law which pro hibits the sale of game during the close season. He has prosecuted hundreds of men who have violat ed the game laws, and of course has made enemies of every one of these men. They have raised a great howl over what they term Mr. Baker’s persecution, and the dovemor has finally yielded to them and removed him. During the last 10 months of his incumbency of the office he and his deputies prosecuted and con victed 0.1 men for violations of game or fish laws and turned into the state treasury funds to the amount of S3,.37S . It will be a long time before the jieople of ( Iregon will find another man who will enforce the game laws as diligently as Mr. Baker did. BOUGHT 400 HEAD OF DELANE MERINO SHEEP Ralph Easley bought 400 head of Delane Merino sheep, two year olds, from John Spray and drove them through town to the Jones farm which he has leased, Thursday. They sheared on an average of 9 pounds per head this year. The price paid for this band of sheep was $3 per head. There was much evidence taken in the divorce case of Walker vs. Walker, some of which was not of a character for publication. There were many witnesses and the testi Klamath Kails has imposed a $3 mony was voluminous.
