The adjourned term of circuit
court which wan called to meet
Monday was of short duration.
Judge Bradrhaw, court stenograph
er l)u fur and the several outside
attorney a interested arrived here
on the stage Muudajr afternoon
and at 7:30 p. in. court convened
but was almost immediately ad
journed to lueet at 9:1)0 Tuesday
morning. At that time it was re
ported by the parlies interested
that two of the throe caws had been
Mettled during the night and that
the third had been compromised
and continued till a future Hitting
of the court.
The last regular term of court in
September wan left open in order
to Ket at issue a number of owe in
which the Columbia River and
Kaatvm Oregon R. R. Company
ought to condemn right of way
over the land of a number of per
oui with whom they could not
come to an agreement a to dam
ages etc. But prior to the dale for
court to convene all the case were
aettled with the exception of those
involving the lamia of Dick (iuant,
8. 8. Thomas and Wiu. Harnett.
Monday evening Messrs. Guant
ami Thomas and their attorneys
held a conference with W. C. Mor
row, head of the right of way de
partment of theO. U. A N. Co. and
the attorneya representing that
oinpiiny when the matter was
finally and satisfactorily nettled.
The settlement was reached only
after a lengthy discussion of the in
terests involved and on a basis in
which both sides made -some con
cessions. Mr. Guant received $S(U
for the damage sustained on hit
property and Mr. Thomas received
27(K). The former gentleman
asked for $1500 and the lat
ter for $5000. It, is understood,
however, that the amount paid wa
more in both cases than had been
been offered by the company dur
ing former negotiations. In the
case of Mr. Harnett no final agree
ment wait reached as to damages
but it was agreed to continue the
cane until a future term of court it
being stipulated, however, that con
struction work by the railroad com
pany could be proceeded with at
once. . Mr. Burnett is a rccident of
Sherman county and it is under
stood the cAxe may be tried out at
the next regular session of court in
that county.
It is a matter of much satis
faction to the people of Gilliam
C'liinty that these cases have finally
been settled and that the railroad
company now has a clear field on
which to rush to completion the
new railroad.
Court adjourned Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock and most of the
visitors left for their homes the
same day.
N P. Interested In Portage.
The McCahe Construction com
pany, a railroad contracting firm
close to the Northern Pacific, has
been awarded the contract for
building the pirtage road from
Celiln to The DalleM in Oregon,
which when built will give central
Washington an . open route to the
sea, says the Spokesman-Review.
The Columbia river is open from its
mouth to The Dalles, 213 miles.
By building this seven mile por
tage road 18'.) miles more of the
Columbia river will be open to
navigation and 100 miles of the
Snake river.
The portage road will make the
Columbia river a great competitor
of the 0. R. A N., and that a North
ern Pacific 'company should take
the contract for its construction is
said to be a move on the part of
the northern road to even up scores
with the Union Pacific, which con
trols the O. R A N.
Joseph Mc-Cabe of . Walla Walla,
vice-president and general mana
ge, of the Washington A Columbia
river railroad, a subsidiary road of
the Northern Pacific, is president
of the construction company, and
his brother, George McCabe of
Tacoma, is manager of it. The
company was organized to build
the Walla Walla A Southern, from
Walla Walla to Wallowa, but has
done very little work beside filling
a few trestles lor trie rtorlliem
Pacific between Walla Walla and
Dayton.
Gilliam at National Grange.
At Hi recent meeting of the National
Urang at Portland an ei iblt of agri
cultural products from nil over the slat
was mads and Gilliam count woo flrst
prise on onions in a walk. It brought
tsars to eyes of other exhibitors to only
look at the tjilliani county s.hibit and
tlis judges unanimously voted it a hot
proposition." The prie winners wvr
grown by Austin Willoughby, of Ferry
Canyon and Ralph t'romau placed them
on eshlbition. Mr. Froman also placed
on exhibition a lot of 'ripe, wound crop
Ktrly Harvest apples which were grown
by Smith Bros., of Ajai. Visitors from
the East opened their eye in amsze
ment at this showing hut they were told
that Gilliam county toil 1 equal lo any
emergency. If we have a fondness for
Early Harvest in Moveiulter we have
the rail ond climate to produce them.
Those in attendance at the meeting
from this section of Uillism county
were: Mr. and Mr. Ralph Frouiau,
Mr. and Mrs. W. J, Edward, Mr. and
LMr. I. A, Henderson, Mr. and Mrs,

sister, Miis Dyer ami Ira Carter. The
only incident to mar the enj-iyuieul of
the Uilliam county delegation was the
accident which befell Mrs. Henderson
who slipped sud fell on the sidewalk
sustaining a dislocation of the shoulder.
A Plie)ous Juror.
O. J. Q'liun wat here from Mayville
precinct during the week attending onri
as a jnror. Mr Quinn believes that he is
summoned for jury duty more than his
share of the time sod it is a matter of
comment around the court house that
he is never excused when once drswii in
the bos, his reputation for fairness and
sound judgement making him accepta
ble to both side of every case. At a re
cent term a prominent attorney was
heard to remark that he would always
accept Mr. Quinn as a uror uo matter
which tide of a case he had.
One little matter that i causing much
comment among man y younger, but we
will not add handsomer, men, w ho are
g tests at the hotel where Mr. Quinn
stops when In town, is that be always
gets pie for breakfast. They wonder at
his "pull" with the waiter but so far he
has failed to enlighten the pie-hungry
victiint'of jealousy ami they threaten to
gel even by inditing a round robin letter
to Mr. Quinn advising her of the mat
ter. Mr. Quinn' judgement on pie sud
the beat method of securing it is evi
dently a sound as when weighing knot
ty problem of law and evidence in the
juiy room.
A h:gh-clss entertainment will be
given in Armory hall to morrow evening
by the Condon Public School the pro
ceed being for the benefit of the school
library. Every citlxen should encourage
(hi most worthy cause with his patron-age.
