THE U. S. COURT OF APPEALS.
Decision In Cases From Oregon,
Montana and Alaska.

San Francisco, March 2.-Three decis-
ions were rendered by the United States
court of appeals.
In the circuit court for Oregon, J.. s.
Logan as executor of the last will and
testament of Thomas j. Logan, had re
ceived Judgment for $4,000 on an insur-
ance policy against the Mutual Life In,
surance Company of New York. The
Judgment was reversed and the case re.
manded for a new trial.
In the case of the Montana Ore Purchas-
ing Company ct al. against the Montana
Consolidated Silver and Copper Mining
Company. the decree of the circuit court
for Montana granting a temporary in
junction was reversed on the ground that
the complaint on its face did not present
a federal question. II was left for the
court below to determine whether the
complaint can be so amended as to pre-
sent cause within its jurisdiction.
The ruling of the district court for Alas
ka. in the trial of Max Endlemann and
Edward Lord for selling intoxicating lie
uors in and near Juneau, was affirmed
Endlemann and Lord We're indicted and
demulred to the complaints. The demur
rer was overruled. and on trial Endleman'
was found guilty and Lord acquitted. Es
dlemann appealed.

gross earnings and a decrease of $10,000 in net. The surplus of the year over dividends was $S0,5S7, and the total sur plus is now $215,992.
 Tt will be seen that the company did not come within $450,000 of earning 10 per cent. on its stock, the figure which the New Haven was reported as will ing to guarantee. Large amounts, how ever, have been expended in depressing the roadbed and other permanent inn provements that will not recur and under ordinary operating expenses the road would doubtless show 10 per cent earned. Consolidation would reduce expenses somewhat, but chiefly through the salary list.
 "The passenger traffic fell off notice- ably, but the loss was compensated for by the decrease of freight. The de- crease in passenger traffic is due to the competition of electric roads. There'was expended for grade crossing work $450,- 900, and the change of location of the machine shops took $100,000 more. The company reports no floating debt"
