Affirmed. Monks, il. Where exceptions
go TO the amount of damages sustained by
a landowner in a ndemna proceeding
TO establish a right Of way for a railway
company, either party may have a trial by
Jury. But if the exceptions only go TO the
regularity of the proceedings and are sus-
tanned, a new appraisement Will be ordered,
to which exceptions may be filed the same
as 10 the first award. 2. Where the law
excludes benefits from consideration in es-
timating damages, as in railroad appropria-
lions, a witness may testify as to the value
of the property without the railroad and the
value with the railroad. not taking into ac-
count any supposed benefit the road when
constructed would be to the land; and in
assessing the amount Of damages the jury
is not required as a matter of law TO ac-
cent the opinion OF witnesses as TO value,
hut must exercise its own judgment in de-
termiuing that question as well as the
amount of damages after considering all the
evidence I'm the cause which may throw
any light on that subject. 3. Instructions
rendered but refused must be properly in

Where the amount OF damages awarded by
a Jury Is supported by some evidence in
the cause, this court cannot disturb the

PORTLAND, Ore, Jan. H.-By unani-
nous vote and with great show Of enthu-
siasm the National Live Stock Association
adopted a resolution heartily indorsing the
policy of President Roosevelt with refer
ence TO the building of the Panama canal.
The call for a vote was the signal for a
roar of ayes and a burst Of d~eafening
applause. Not a dissenting voice was
raised. A copy of the resolution was inn
mediately t~elegraDhed to the President.
To-day the subjects of railroads and for
est reserves were considered in relation to
their effect on the live stock industry.
Shortage of cars, slow time in transit and
high tariff formed the burden of a number
of addresses bearing on the first mentioned
subject.
A new executive committee was elected.
Among the members are: j. M. Bohart.

FRUIT And PRODUCE
BUSINESS IN DANGER
One Chicago Firm and a Michigan
Railroad Said to Have Con-
spired to Ruin 1t.

LOUISVILLE. Ky. Jan. IA fight
against the alleged throttling of competi-
ton in the fruit and produce business by a
prominent firm Of packers was inaugurated
to-day In the convention of the National
League Of Commission Merchants.
The matter was precipitated by the read
ing OF a paper by John L. Scales. of Chi
cago, In which it is charged that this firm,
by means. of refrigerator cars which they
own. and by reason of special contracts
with railroads. and one traversing Michigan
I'm particular, was making an effort to Sc
cure control of the fruit business to the
hardship OF the smaller dealers. The paper
said the Michigan road had notified the
produce men that it's facilities for handling
fruit were inadequate; hat the refriger-
ating business of the road would be handled
hereafter in a certain line OF cars, and that

THREE CENT CAR FARES
ARE NOT YET ACCEPTED
Cleveland Electric Railway Is
Willing to Make a Ninety Days
Test of the Proposition.
A HANNA'S VIEWS

CLEVELAND. Jan. 14-At a meeting of
the receivers of the Cleveland Electric
Railway Company this evening the propo-
sition to accept the McKenna ordinance
establishing a Scent fare within certain
zones Of the city was not ratified. Presi-
dent Andrews. speaking for the street car
company. said there were certain features
about the ordinance that were not entirely
satisfactory. The Scent zone is said to
be too large; it is almost coextensive with
the city's boundaries. The COMPANY is will
ing, however, according TO Mr.. Andrews, to
begin a ninety days test of the new plan
and TO maxi a monthly statement of its
practice from every standpoint TO the pub
lie, and II 1t is satisfactory to company and
public, the former is willing to negotiate
with the city for a twenty years extern
sion of franchise. President Andrews stated
that this experiment is the most important
innovation ever introduced in American
street railway transportation and the COM
pany is without precedent to guide ii in
its negotiations and that therefore IL would
be folly to tie VI an investment of S25,OOO,-
VO OF street railway property for twenty
years without an ample preliminary test of
the conditions under which it is proposed
the extension for that length of time shall
be made.
Senator Hanna attended the meeting Of
the directors and is willing to have the low
fare question thoroughly tested. He is not
willing, however, TO accept Mayor john
sons view of the situation.
