E T CASE Judgement Rendered in Favor Defendant in Case Between Lebanon Parties. FORFEITURE CLAUSE IN THE DEED IS NOT UPHELD The Defendant May Continue to Operate Livery Business; Many Points Involved. By a decision rendered this after noon by Judicc I5- R- Kelly, a judg ment is given to the defendants in the case of R W. Sceck and H. J. Seeclc vs. A. Jakel, A. J. Newman and J. W. Newman. This case attracted a great deal of interest at the time the evidence was submitted to the court and because of , the many close points of law involved, Judge Kelly took the. same under ad visement. It seems that in Tunc 1907 the plain tiffs owned four lots in the city 'of Lebanon which were located in th. vicinity of the nrocrtv which they used for the purpose of conducting a livery, sa c and feed hiisine'S, During the same month, for the sum of $3000.00, which was claimed by the plaintiff to be- considerably less than the property was actually worth, they sold and conveyed to the defend ant the four lots upon condition that the property should never be used for the purpose of operating a livery,' sale or teed stable. The deed conveying this property contained a forfeiture clause. Lnter, it is claimed, the de fendants opened a livery stable on the premises and the plaintiffs brought suit to cancel the deed and recover the sum of $1000.00 in damages. Judge Kelly made a careful exam ination of the testimony in the case an'd this afternoon decided that the plaintiffs were not entitled to recover. BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZED HERE LAST EVENING C. W.

THEY CLAIM THAT HILL ROAD WILL GO SOUTHWARD News of Proposed Extension Leaks Out in the New York Financial Circles. From financial circles in New York comes a story of an alliance between Hill and Gould interestst that indi cates early entry of the Hill railroads into California, says the Portland Journal. The combination was o'f fected some 18 months ago, it is said, for the purpose of admitting the Hill lines into California territory in ex change for allowing the Western Pa cific to meet its competitors on an equal footing in Portland and Oregon. According to this information, the route from Portland is to be by way of the Willamette Valley and up the McKenzie river to the low pass through the Cascades, thence along the high plateau and debouching into the Sacramento valley through the Pitt river pass, making the connec tion with the Western Pacific a short distance north of Sacramento, sweep ing the entire length of the Sacra mento valley from somewhere in the vicinity of Red Bluff southward, In Oregon this would probably in dicate that the announcement made to- Eugene people by an official of the Hill lines that the tracks extend ing to that city would not stop there, had a nretty defnite translation in plans of the system. It would open up a great timber district on the Mc- Kenzie and reaching the east sine ot the ramze would tap additional timber in the corners of Douglas and Crook counties and torm a junction with the Hill line south of Bend, where a con tract has recently been announced for its extension.
