Washington, Feb. North Caro-
lima has lost the South Dakota bond
suit.
The case involves the validity of a
mortgage on stock Of the North Car
DINA Railroad Company given by
the State of North Carolina to secure
the payment of State bonds given in
aid Of the road in 1867. The State
Of South Dakota holds ten bonds of
1000 each under a gift from Simon
Schaefer and Samuel M. Schaefer, of
New York city, the amount due on
the bonds and coupons attached be-
ing $27 400.
The United States Supreme Court
handed down its decision to-day.
The opinion is written by Justice
Brewer and concurred in by Justices
Peckham, Harlan, Brown and
Holmes.
A dissenting opinion is written by
Justice White and concurred in by
Chief Justice Fuller and Justices Nc
Kenna and Day.
1t Will be seen, therefore, that the
court was pretty equally divided
being 5 to 4. The general belief is
that Judge Brown, who heard only
the first argument (made last No
vember) gave the deciding vote. Oh
course, this is only surmise. and is
based largely on the fact that he was
unable to be on the bench when the
case was argued the second time.
Although the State loses the case,
the decision is in one respect a vic.
tory for i. The State of South Da
kota Is adjudged emitted to recover

of $1,000 each and the attached cou

Last week July cotton in New Or
leans touched sixteen cents a pound
This breaks all records for the past
80 years, and is the highest point
touched by the staple since the sea-
sons Immediately following the civil
war.
The meaning of this apparently
permanent advance is now plain.
Demand has overtaken supply in the
cotton business; and the rise in price,
begun by spectators who looked
ahead, has now found a tolerably
firm support in natural and CONNER
cial conditions.
Reaction will come, bnt not low

There will be a margin of profit-a

DISREGARD
FISH
LAWS
Salmon Gamers Will Fish
After the Season Is
Closed

The salmon Gamers, according TO
the Astoria Budget, will disregard the
fish laws this season. 1t says:
The run of salmon that had been
around the mouth of the river for the
past few days disappeared almost en-.
tirely last evening, without any ap-
parent cause, and the eaten was very
small in comparison with the few days
previous. That this was entirely I'm.
expected was shown by the fact that
the canneries and cold storage plants
sent all their launches down early this
morning, and some Of the Packers
Association launches had plungers in
town, to assist in bringing the eaten
up from the mouth of the river.
Whether 1t was only a squirt, and all
the fish were caught, or whether they
returned to the sea again cannot be
told, but each theory has its support.

HARVEST
WEATHER
Last Week Favorable for
Saving Grain and
Late Hay

The weather during the week has
been unusually warm and dry, which
was favorable for harvest work, but it
caused the grain TO I'll and ripen a lit
tie too fast. Fall wheat west of the
Cascades has mostly been cut and
shocked. and east Of the Cascades its
harvest is progressing rapidly. But
little threshing has yet been done in
the Willamette valley. In the Colum.
bia river valley and 10 Southern Ore
gon the yields are generally reported
to be better than expected. Early
sown spring wheat and oats were
greatly improved by the rains of last
week, and they promise from fair to
good returns. Late sown spring wheat
and oats are thin, heading short and
generally so poor that they are being
cut for hay.
Feed on the ranges continues better
thanu usual, but In the Willamette
valley pasture is getting short, and
stock is beginning to lose flesh. Where
properly cultivated, hops, gardens,
corn, potatoes and field onions are do
ing well, but they all, as we'll as pas.
turage would be greatly benefited by
more rain Some spraying has been
done in the hop yards, but the hot
weather killed most Of the lice, and,
as a rule, the yards are remarkably
free from vermin. Apples continue to
drop, but not 10 an alarming extent,
ana an average or better than an av.
erage crop Of apples is expected.
Peaches and b~lackberTies are plenti.
full, and early apples and early pears
are ripe.
