The case WM taken to the national supreme court from the supreme court of Washington and related particularly to license fe— and other regulate s —tabliahed by state public service commissions. It is the opibion of attorneys for auto stage end freight owners of Oregon that the laws in this state would be inoperative, due to the similarity of cond<tions in the Washington appeal- The growth of the bus and atagc busin—s; the effect ot the— h—vy vehicles on the highways and the comparatively * small compensation they return to the state for use of -the roads were points advsneed for the regulstion of this traffic. It was —id that four per cent of the traffic, meaning stages snd trucks, did 90 per cent of the damage to the highways. I A. C. Thompeon hed s narrow escape from aerious injury and possi ble death on Wednesday morning when he drove his sedan car across the railway crossing at the foot of First street in front of the spproach- ing passenger train.

The engineer of the passenger train aaw the Thompeon auto in time to apply full air to the brakes which did not stop the train altho slowing it enough for the ear to pass the tracks in safety. It is thought by eye witnesses thst Mr. Thompson was not swsre of his danger until aeveral boors Is ter — he continued up the hill and out of town by way of the eounty fair grounds. The near accident to the A. C. Thompeon car on Wednesday again brought to mind the near accident of M. R. Schade wits at the “wtro- house” railway crossing one morning about four weeks ago when he almost ing freight train. The time was early morning with a riaing sun shining full in the eyes of the car driver, blinding him so that he did not see the freight cars until within Officers of the Sherman county council of religious education and Sunday school work met in the Meth odist church at Moro* last Sunday afternoon at three o'clock.
