PROTECTED HIS RIGHTS.
Oscar Hansen Explains Why He Tore
Up a Logging Road.

Oscar Hansen. who was recently tempo
rarily restrained by an order made In the
superior court from interfering with a log
giug road operated by Healey & Joyce, and
terminating on the bank of the Snoqual-
mie river, told his side OF the story yes
terday afternoon.
He admits that he felled a tree across
the road, and that later he tore up the
skids. These acts, he alleges, were not
done with malice, but simply TO protect
his property.
This logging road" says Hansen. 'en-
tiers my land about $50 feet from the Sno-
qualmie river. and terminates upon the
bank. Untn the complaint in this case
was served upon me my ownership was
not questioned. l purchased the land from
the Oregon Mortgage Company, Fehru-
airy q. 1899"
Mr.. Hansen says that Healey & Joyce
have disregarded the notices he put up
warning trespassers on, moved his fences
and widened the road, In defiance of him
and his rights. They have not even pro-
tected the river bank, he says. where the
logs are dumped into the water, with the
result that a considerable portion OF land
has been eaten away.
Continuing, he explains that he put the
tree across the road, but this did not stop
the trespass. and then he tore up the
skids. His acts. he says were simply to
protect his rights as owner of the prop
erty.

tack for the matters of few centuries
at least, some thoughtful people are
wondering if they really want the
scientists to succeed. If it wasn't for

things that makes life happy, after
all? Having in mind the end of any

when death shall come. makes our

if people dwelt upon this phase of the
subject they would be less anxious to
have the old age bacillus rendered i'm

to live a little longer, and a little long
