The New Hartford Judgeship.

The legal complications growing out of the New Hartford probate ludgeship occupied the attention of Judge 4. b. Warner in the Court of Common Pleas at Winsted several days this week and last. The contempt proceedings against several New Hartford citizens for not obey ing the summons to attend were dismissed. Then the question of dis solving or continuing the injunction ob- tained by ex Judge If Probate Mum re- straining Judge Jewell and others from interfering with him in the occupation of the room in the Town Hall building heretofore used as the probate office was tried and argued.
 The matter turns on the authority o1 the selectmen to lease the room to ex- Judge Mum. At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Warner reserved his decision. Much testimony was taken and there were lively tilts between the learned counsel.
 A new enlivening element was intro duced into the case when on Monday morning it was discovered that some time between that day and the previous Saturday parties had broken into the disputed room and moved out Judge Jewell's desk and other effects and bar. ricaded the door.

WHO OWNS THE o. c. & Ep

The above has been a much dis
cussed question, many claiming
that it had passed to the Southern
Pacific Company. To set the mat
ter at rest, Mr.. A. B. Hammond
writes the following letter to the
Corvallis Times:
"The Southern Pacific does not
own a single share of stock in the
Oregon Central & Easrern Railroad
Company. The fact that we have
already expended large amount of
money in the building of bridges
and other betterments on the Ore
gon Central & Eastern should be
sufficient proof to show that the
road was going to be operated on
its merits, and as competing line.
Myself and associates invested
our money in this property, suppos-
ing that the improvements at va
quina would be carried out as rec
nmended. If they are abandoned
now we will be greatly disappointed,
as the Oregon Central & Eastern
Railroad, under the present condi-
tions of the bar at Yaquina, cannot
be proftiblp operated as competing
line. If the jetties at Yaquina are
not completed as planned, the road
may eventually pass under the con-
troll of the Southern Pacific to be
used by them as feeder, as its
present owners may not care to op-
crate it under the improbable con-
ditions that have prevailed since
they came into possession of the
property.
The one hundred and forty-one
miles of road now in operation is in
very good condition, and ifthe work
at Yaquina is finished as originally
intended, the road will no doubt be
textendedr across the mountains into.
Eastern Oregon, and will develop
vast agricultural country that is
now almost inaccessible and make
it tributary to the Willamette Val
ley.
Iregret that l will be detained
here for the next eight or ten days,
but I will be ready later OH to CO.
operate with your delegation in con-
gress in furthering this enterprise
in any way that lies in my power"

Not Eastern Oyster Seed.
November "a, 1897.

Eugene, Nov. 22.-(To the Edi-
tor, AT least twice recently in is
sues of the Oregonian l have seen
clippings from Valley papers regard
ing the Eastern oyster at Yaquina.
In these clippings it is reported that
sample Of spawn(or spat) discovered
in mussel shells and other objects
near the oysters were sent East
1.-TWO weeks ago" to determine
whether they were the spawn, or
spat, of the Eastern bivalve, etc.
This is rather old news. The
spat referred to was carefully exam
ined several weeks ago and deter
mined to be that Of our West coast
oyster (Ostrea lurida) and not that
of the introduced form. This decis-
son has been confirmed by experts
at Washington. Respectfully,
