ney General Tanner today expressed
himself entirely satisfied with the de
cision of the supreme court of the
United States announced yesterday
in the case of the state public service
commission ainiinst the Oregon Kail
road nnd Navigation company. Ac
cording to Tanner, while the case is
leoided. in fnvor.ut the rnilroud,-fco
far as- tho secific evidence is con
cerned, the state gained an important
victory in huviiij the constitutionality
of the public service commission law
upheld. The; commission required the
O. It. and N. to make certain railroad
connections with other railroads in
eastern Washington adjacent to its
tracks. The supreme court, while sus
taining the right of the commission
to make such orders when traffic o
demanded, held that in the case at
bar the connections ordered were not
neee-sary.

On account of tho light vote 'luring
