Abatement Plea,

Chicago. sept 90.-~The packers in.
dIcted IN the federal cases FOR violation
81 the sherman antitrust law suffered
another sweeping defeat Friday when
Judge Humphrey, IN the United States
district court. sustained the demurrer
OK United States District Attorney
Morrison 10 the plea in abatement filed
some time ago by the packers.
The blow was made more crushing
BY the statement OF Judge Humphrey
that the governments demurrer was
sustained on broad general grounds
and without taking into consideration
tho technical points raised by District
Attorney Morrison.
The indicted men had asked
through their counsel. that the indIct-
inents voted against them be declared
void, advancing varlols technical rea'
sons. This plea was thrown out OF
court.
Must Stand Trial.
The packers must now stand trial
in the federal court on the indictments
charging them with violating the anti.
trust laws The court ordered the de.
PENDANTS to appear in court Thursday
and plead guilty or not guilty to the
charges made by the government that
they conspired in the transaction OF
their business to the injury OF fair
competition.
Attorneys for the packers, however,
have not exhausted the technical
moves allowed them by aaw. They
filed notice that they would enter a
demurrer TO the indictments. The
court ordered this demurrer TO be pre-.
pared before the date set for the plead
ing.
II Is probable that further delay
IN the entering Of pleas will be grant
ca by. the court when he takes up this
demurrer question. He Is expected TO
grant time for the attorneys for the
packers TO argue the points TO be
brought up.
These points will involve defects on
the face OF the indictments, and, while
some or the ground covered by the
plea ia abatement will be gone over
again, new legal objections TO the
writs will be adduced. The result
sought viii be the quashing Of the In
dictments.
The law allows several methods OF
attacking an Indictment and 1t is
intimated that still further resources
WIN be- al hand. should the demurrer
be overruled.
Judge Humphrey in his opinion FRI
day refused 10 concede a single point
urged by the defense In It's arguments
or wednesday and Thursday
One OF the main points set up by
tho defense was that Judge Bethea,
who received the indictments, was not
acting legally because OF change In
the boundary lines Of the judicial dis
tricts. Judge Humphrey said he had
found by the congressional records
that Judge Betbea, in the opinion OF
the court, was legally sitting.
Judge Humphrey also held that the
grand jury which returned the in.
dictment was legally drawn.

The lnvincible Armada.

The invincible armada was famous
naval expedition sent by Philip II. Of
Spain against England in 1858. 1t con
sisted Of 1870 vessels, 2,430 great guns,
1876 quintals of powder, nearly 20,00e
soldiers, above 5000 sailors and more
than 1000 volunteers. 1t arrived in the
English channel on July 10 and was
defeated the next day by Admiral
Howard, who was seconded by Drake
Hawkins and Frobisher. Eight fire
ships having been sent into the Spanish
feet, they bore off in great disorder
proflting by the panic, the English fell
upon them and captured or destroyed
q number of their ships, and Admiral
Howard maintained a running fight
from July 21 to July q, with such eff
feet that the Spanish commander, de
spairing of success, resolved to return
home, and as escape through the Eng
lish channel was prevented by con,
trary winds he undertook to sail
around the Orkneys, but the vessels
which still remained to him were dis.
persed by storms or shipwrecked
among the rocks and shadows on diff
ferent parts of the Scottish and 'Trish
coast, and upward of 5000 men were
drowned, killed or taken prisoners. OF
the whole armada fifty-three ships only
returned to Spain and these in a
wretched condition, The English lost
but one ship.

VOTERS DECIDE IN
FAVOR OF SEWER

The Citizens ticket was triumph
antly elected Tuesday, and all doubt
as TO the building of the new sewer Is
eliminated. The result ia an endorse.
ment OF the voters of Hood River Of
the action of the present council In
its struggle to secure for the city a
lasting and necessary benefit. The
contest between the opposing parties
was purely friendly one and had re-
solved itself into matter OF opinion
rather than an effort TO retard the
progress of tho city In this much
needed improvement.
No great effort was made by either
side TO win adherents to their cause,
otherwise than to state their attitude.
Feeling that they we're working for
the best interests of the city, the Git
izens' party let the case rest on its
merits and submitted the matter to
the voters. Tho voters have decided
in favor of the sewer, and have done
we'll.
Considering that the election was
held on an off year when there was
not full ticket to be elected, the vote
polled was quite large one. The to-
tal number of ballots cast was 215
Last year the vote was 2S2 Only one
ballot was thrown out as defective
Other ballots only contained the
names of one or two candidates
Some contained the name of Truman
Butler only for city treasurer Al
Mr.. Butler was the only candidat,
for this office, he ought to feel highl!
complimented. One voter, not salts
fled with any of the candidates WHIT
had been Nominated, voted for @. U
Dakin for the office of councilman.
The majorities given the newl!
elected councilmen are substantial
ones and leave no doubt as to th
voters choice. The vote is as follows
For Council--L. h. Morse, 2l3; h

Put Aside Vanity For Once.

Never in their strutting days did
turkeys do themselves as proud as did
their remains when doing duty on
Thanksgiving day at a novel spread
which occurred Thursday in Dallas,
when retired merchant gave a dim
ner to all widows and single women
over 80 years old within the city linn
its. 1t Is said that about 70 we're
present. He offered as prizes to his
guests $40 rocking chair to the wild
ow who malries first, and a Sl5 wicker
chariot to the first maiden woman
present who marries. Dallas must be
an exceptional place when 70 women
over 80 years of age can be found.
Perhaps 1t might be said tie women
are exceptional. -Dalles Chronicle.

An EXPLANATION.

There has been so much talk and
misapprehensio in regard to the con
struction of the new sewer that 1t
might be we'll to say few words in
explanation, for the benefit OF those
who have been misinformed or who
do not understand the matter
The assessment Of SO on all lots for
the building Of the outfall Of the sew
or from the foot Of River street to the
Columbia river is due to the fact that
eventually all the sewage Of the city
must pass through this main or trunk
sewer. For this reason it was decided
to build the sewer large enough SO
that when sections of the city which
will not at present be actually bene-
fitted, come to be connected with it,
1t will not be necessary to enlarge it.
Az estimated by the engineer and the
attorney engaged by the city to figure
on this matter this assessment origin
slly was 81. 80. But the sewer com
mittee, after going over the matter
carefully decided that SO would cover
the expense, aud reduced it.
When property owners on the bill
come to pay their final assessment i
will be $50. The assessment OF those
who are compelled to connect with the
sewer in the lower part of the city af
soon as it is built is S27. 1t will be
seen then that those who will receive
the first benefit Of the sewer will be
compelled to pay the most for it.
The cost Of enlarging the trunk
sewer when once built would be far IN
excess Of the cost of making 1t big
enough now, and 1t would be a fool
ish policy, indeed, to "saVe at the
spigot and leak at the bung.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1905-12-07

We will venture to say that com
paratively few persons who do not
keep tab on the weather are aware OF
the fact that the past season was the
driest that has been experienced in
this state since the weather bureau
was established in 1879 with one ex-
ception. This was in 1889 Memory
is tickle jade, and when you hear
some street corner philosopher re-
marking that he never knew it to be
30 dry or that he'd be "derned" II he
ever saw so much rain, You may
safely conclude that he has not exam
ined the meteorological records of the
year preceding. AS matter of fact
the variations In the average rainfall
from year to year are slight.
