decision of Justice Ilobort S, Bean of
tho United States court, In which tho
Harriman Interests were temporarily
enjoined from occupancy of disputed
right of way In the canyon.
Tho decision Is a victory lor tho
Oregon Trunk Railway Company or

Hill's attorneys.

of the incorporating act of 1875 and
