The prune season promises to
tread on the heels of the hop season.
September starts out as if it
had mixed its dates with August,
This country can not reach the
prosperity just ahead until there is
an all around lowering of costs.
If Dallas wants to change Its
name the Independence Post sug
nests tbut it reverse it.
Chicago plans to teach its child
ren with movies instead of books
We foresee a great future for op
ticians of that city.
When a person has wronged you
he hates you and the person who
gets angry and indulges in loud
talking is invariably in the wrong.
The countries of Europe are so
anxious to go partrers with Uncle
sam that they are willing to take
him into any sort of a It ague.
As a highly interested spectator
it the hearing in the West Side
highway location matter in Fort
land Tesday, it occurs to us that a
few snip shots might interest the
reader. It is the second day of the
hearing. The defense that is, the
side icpres.-nting the commission,
is still presenting witnesses. Pros
pective witnesses lor the plaintiffs,
Dallas aid Independence, who have
been waiting now on the second day
for a chance to give their evidence
are grouped about the room. Un
cilled witnesses for the defense are
also there.
The judge, a clean cut, rather
youngish looking man, whose feat
ures remind you of a Methoditt
minister, is in state behind the bar
He has a soft, pleasant voice, takes
close interest in all that transpires
and occasionally takes a hand in th
scrimmage which attorneys and wit
nesses are engaged in.
To the front of the bar is a broad
table at which are seated an impos
ing array of legal talent.
Mr. Kaste, head attorney for the
complaint, does not sit at the table
at all. He lounees in one of the
juror seats, with a cuspidor con
veniently cloese. He keeps 'con
stantly tonguing a quid of chewing
as though seeking inspiration for
the string of conundrums which he
fires at the witness. His assistants,
Messrs. Hayter and Smith, sit at
the table keeping notes on large
pads of yellow paper.
At their right is Attorney Bow-
erman, who as an attorney is
spokesman for the commission. Ee
is a rather moonfaced gentleman of
benevolent cast of features with
the physical frame of a giant. Near
him is Mr. Devers, assistant attor
ney general. Helwears glasses and
has the concentrated expression of
a man who spends a good share of
his time searching through law
books for precedents and author!
ties. '
Two other attorneys representing
the paving companies are with them.
Back of them are the three high
way commissioners, their secretary,
engineers, paving men and others.
Having been listening to hours of
talk the spectators show signs of
ennui. They lounge in various
postures, all more !or less uncom
fortable, occasionally awakening to
animatioa when some one indulges
it, however, for no matter how
amiable opposing counsel may be to
one another when the veil is lifted
the real parties of the suit arc like
the Jews and Samaritans, a little
bifharJ to thaw out.
Blue prints, with a back ground
of maps, are everywhere. Kngin
eer Clark, who has charge of the
highway tetween McMinnvilie and
Corvallisison the stand; he occupies
it for something I'm three hours.
Statistics are his suocialty. He
quotes a string of figures relating
to distances, quantities, gra Ws and
osts that would fill a blue book.
These are brouirht out hv a series
questions propounded by the
genial Mr. Bowerman.
Mr. Kaste then does the cross ex
amining etunt, which in this case
i3 largely inthe construction of
hypothetical questions. He would
perhaps 8-y: "Now, Mr. Clark, if
you were traveling the mirth and
south road which road from Corval-
lis would you follow to McMinnvilie"
Mr. Clark grins cheerfully and
says: "Why the straight road, of
course."
Mr. Kaste: "Now then (fiercely
and rapidly) if the ,oad by way of
Orr'R corners to Ualias to Perrydale
was paved and the 'straight road"
was not paved, which road would
you travel'."'
Mr. Clark: (smiling still more
brosdly) "It would depend on cir
cumstances. Whether or not I was
a hurry, whether or not 1 was
carrying a loal. As a general
tiling, I should say I would tike the
straight road."
And so on. By way of Corvallis
straight to Monmouth, to Mon
mouth by way of Independence, to
Dallas by way of Powell's corner,
by wy of Orr's comer, by way of
Rickreall, by way of Crowley, by
way of Perrydale and by way of
Ballston and the ttraight road to j
McMinnvilie, the costs and dis
tances were made the basis of
questions.
Reference was made to a map
hanging in plain view, There are
black Iir.es on it, indicating roads.
The engineer says the lines are not
accurate. Mr. Kaste is greatly
surprised. Not accurate; why it
is Commissioner Benson's own maif!
taken from the wall of his office,
Mr. Benson asks to be sworn. He
says the black lines were not made
by him. He has never consulted
them as to highways. He values
the map because it shows forest
reserves.
Mr. Bowerman asks that the map
be not retained as evidence. Mr.
Kaste insists it shall. He wants
it as a map, he says. Mr. Bower
man suggests that if Mr, Kaste
wants a map to send to the supreme
court he buy one of his own and not
make Benson foot the exnense.
The judge sees no harm in retain
ing the map,
Ex-Senator ' Day mounts the
stand. He is short, rotund and in
clined to be sluggish in actions and
language. But occasionally he
strikes fwifty. As a part of his
evidence he cites damages which
would ensue were the paving stop
ped. He is or has been connected
with thejpaving outfit working south
from Amity. He has not made
special effort to collect the items,
he 6aid but there were a few he
could think of. In accounts rang
ing from $3,000 down to $300 he
enumerated them. For damage to
rocked surface, to grading, to
equipment, for rent, interest, idle
ness of outfit. When enough items
were listed to make a stawrerinc:
total, Kaste fuggested there was
one item he had omitted. What
was that? Insurance, This raised
a laugh among the Ea'las Indepen
dence people.
It seems the part of the Amity
section plant -burned recently
without insurance,
