During th "buck passing contest" that took place among the seven cir cuit judges in Portland over who should try the rase of their political confreres, one of the jurist asserted tl.at the fart that he owned an auto mobile would bar him from being an impartial arbiter.

The suit is an injunction i against the county treasurer to pre vent the payment of bills for gaso line so used. The commissioners contend that they use their own cars and tires continually in their official business nd receive no remuneration for it. They assert that using county gaso line for the private use of their cars merely reimburses them. Late Wire Report " Hearst Knjoins Auction WASHINGTON.
