Government in its appeal from the District
Court Of Oregon TO the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals in its suit against The
DalieS Military Road Company, Eastern
Oregon Land Company and others. The
suit has been a lengthy and hotly contested
one. In which several courts had a chance
TO reverse all the rest 1t was also made
famous during the last campaign, when e.
u. Pond was the Democratic candidate for
Governor. He was accused Of being one of
the many persons Interested in building"
and consequent profits Of the alleged rod.
but ne IS not named as a defendant.
The Government complained that the road
had never been built. graded, bridged,
cleaned, or constructed in whole or in part.
and that the certificate of Governor Wood
to the effect that it had was obtained
frandulently. Therefore, the Government
asked that the lands granted in consequence
be ordered forfeit to the United States and
restored to the public domain; that the
patents. certificates and deeds be declared
fraudulent and void, and the United States
given further relief in equity. Judge
Deady OF the District Court dismissed the

The first account was filed yesterday In
the estate of 5. W. Garness, who was shot
and killed in May, 1890. by d. II. Arnold
for distributing andpu blishing vile circulars
concerning his wife In Colusa. The homi-
eide, which occurred in the Peerless saloon
IN this city, created quite a sensation.
Arnold was acquitted. and it was shown
that he was the victim OF conspiracy to
extort money from him on threat of these
publications.
1t came out also.that certain persons, who
We're furnishing these sensations 20 the
public through 4 certain newspaper, were
creditors OF GarDeSs. According to the ac-

REDUCED THE SPACE.
CalffOrnIa's Plat for a State BUildin.
Curtailad

CaiffornIa's Plat for a State Building
Curtailed.
The California Worlds Fair Commission
received communication yesterday from
Chief Burnham of the Construction Depart
ment at Chicago stating that the Exposition
Company intended TO build an elevated rail-
way runner through the grounds. and that
it would be necessary to take from the
California plat strip 40 feet wide and $50
feet in length, as portion of ths road.
The space in jackson Park assigned to this
State comprised about 10, 600 square feet
and as the contemplated action of the Local
Governing Board in Chicago will deprive
California Of $4,000 square feet. almost
20 per cent of the ground assigned to her,
the Commissioners naturally feel very in
dignant.
In addition to this large reduction OF space
the Chicago board will impose upon the
California commission the additional hard
ship OF reducing the dimensions of the State
building after arraBg ementS f or its erection
have been made aud when plans for the
structure have been accepted and placed in
the hands of the Chicago authorities
for final approval. The plat was conceded
TO California last July. and the commission
has been in virtual possession for the past
eight months. As recently as the 10th ult.
CHEF Bnrnham sent Secretary Thompson
an actual survey OF the ground as origin ally
granted, and the commission has developed
It's plans in proportion to the size OF the
space assignment.
The Commissioners feel at this late day ii
Is both unfair and unjust to curtail Califor-
MAS plat one-tifth without giving her some
other space in return. The elevated road
will run along the entire west side of the lot.
On the east side is carriage roadway, and
east Of this is lndiana'S ground. Adjoin-
ing the latter is space unassigned. The
commission will probably ask that Califor-
MIA be given a strip of the carriage road,
which could be moved further east This
would only take from Indiana triangular
strip twenty feet at its widest art and con-
verging 10 point, and would return 10 Cal
lfornia about half the area of which she
will be deprived by the elevated road.

The Pacific Power Company has insti-

of the Fire Department, acting under a

that there is no other practicable or safer

Military Evolutions.
The morning hours at the Preside garri-

plays. From o'clock to noon the troops
are out for their exercise in drill. Between
those hours the field is filled with squadrons
of cavalry and horse batteries on the trot

front from all positions.
The afternoons are different. All that the

soldiers Longing about in front of their
