CLIMATE is MILDER.
o. r. & N. Has Little Use for Rotary
Snow Plow.

Although the monster rotary snow
plow of the o. r. & N. is kept in
readiness for service in her stall at
La Grande, of late years there has
been but little work for 1t.
This year the plow has not been
out of the stall and for the past four
years has made but two trips over the
Blue mountains.
Although all the snow sheds on the
o. r. e. N. between Ia Grande and
Huntington have been removed, the
track is never blocked by snow.
Where the cuts drifted full 15 years
ago and the road was almost totally
bIockaded at times in spite of the
work OF the rotary plow, very little
snow is encountered now, and for the
past eight years absolutely no trouble
has been caused by drifting snow.
This winter, even the flanger, a
machine used to throw the hardened
snow away from the inside of the
rails, has not been run over the road,
SO mild has been the weather.

Twin sons were born to Mrs. w. E.

Portland. Feb. 13.-On the witness
stand, Judge A. H. Turner, Senator
Mitchell's law partner, after pleading
guilty to perjury, testified that the
contract which he certified to jan
uary 81 last as being the one entered
into between himself and Senator
Mitchell, March s, 1901, was in real
ity a fake especially constructed to
meet the issues which have confront
ed Mr.. Mitchell since the charges of
land fraud transactions were brought
against him.
On the witness stand Judge Turner
certified that of the two contracts
printed in full below the first appear
ing is the genuine, the last one being
the fake with which to meet present
emergencies.
Altered Partnership Contract.
On March S, 1901, Senator Mitch
ell and A. H. Tanner, his partner,
drew a co-partnership agreement or
contract for the government of their
business. This contract was dictat-
ed to Henry c. Robertson, at that
time a stenographer in the office of
Mitchell & Tanner, and now the pri-
vate secretary to Senator Mitchell.
When Senator Mitchell came home
in December last to demand hearing
before the federal grand jury he dis
cussed the old agreement of 1901 with
Judge Tanner, and it was decided to
amend IT, This was done, as is shown
in the extracts from the agreement,
following. The amended contract
was dated March 5, 1901. and it was
this which was produced in the grand
jury room by Judge Tanner on Janu-
ary 81.
Both contracts were alike i'm every
particular and contained the follow
ing provisions: That said co-partner-
ship between said John II. Mitchell
and A. H. Tanner for the practice OF
the law be continued under the firm
name of Mitchell & Tanner. That the
net proceeds derived from said bus
iness shall be divided equally between
said parties on the fifth day of each
and every month. All expenses of
said business shall first be paid out
of the gross receipts of said business
and the net profits shall be divided
between said John II. Mitchell and
4. II. Tanner as follows, that is to
say, said John H. Mitchell shall be
entitled to and shall receive half of
the net profits. and said Albert II.
Tanner shall be entitled to and shall
receive half of the net profits of said
business.
Tanner before the federal grand jury
caused the perjury charges against
him. The important extracts from
the original and amended contracts

In closing, the engineers, L. c. and E.
r. Davis of Northampton, make the fol-
lowing summary I'm addition to furnishing
blue print showing the watersheds
sizes of pipe, etc:
Considering the preceding tabulated re-
port OF our investigation we are of the
opinion that
No 1 is but temporary arrangement
No is not available by itself
No 3 Is a very good proposition. eX-
ceeded In merit only by No. and No. T.
In comparing this with No. and No T.
note that pipes from either of these will
pass through West Brattleboro but that
from No will be along West river.
No is in our opinion, the best source
OF supply for you to adopt on account of
the ample supply, the very favorable
reservoir site (there would be but little
shallow water. as the shore line is very
abrupt and its comparatively low ex-
pense.
No 3. while possessing some of the ad-
vantages Of No. 4. Is but little cheaper
and has but very little watershed. though,
as North pond affords so much storage
capacity, 1t is probable that 100000 gal
Ions per day can be drawn except In the
very driest years
No. is good supply, though the
watershed is barely large enough.
No has all the advantages OF No. 6
with the added supply from North Pond
and figuring the water damages as we do
shows first cost OF only 10000 more.
No we do not consider further.
No. is the cheapest of the new sources
but on account OF it's limited watershed
We feel that No or No. will give you
better service and prove better invest
ment.
No. 10 is not available at any reasonable
expense.
No IL. No. 10 and No. 10 are all good
supplies, but not comparable In adj
vantages and cost with some OF the others
No IL does not appear very feasible in
comparison with the gravity supplies
We have made no analysis OF any of
the waters and our opinions are based on
conditions entirely apart from this con-
sideration with the exception of what
we have said about MILESTONE brook.
In the estimates OF damages to water
power we have based our figures on a
sum which we have assumed to represent
the value OF one square mile OF watershed
and one foot fall at the dam or power
which is damaged.
This sum we have deduced from a large
number OF settlements for taking water
in Springfield. Northampton Easthamp-
ton Holyoke and Westheld. These set
Elements have been partly by agreement
and partly through the courts.
This is one OF the most Uncertain ques-
tions an engineer is called upon TO estimate
and We can only say that being estimated
upon the same basis In the several cases
they offer fair comparison.
II should also be noted that while the
proportionate variation may be the same
the actual difference must naturally be
less for small watershed than for a large
one.
Our advice is to get an analysis OF the
waters mentioned In schemes 3. 4. 6. Z
and 3. then II there is no objection to the
quality OF water, a thorough study OF
schemes and we believe will prove
which is in all ways the very best source
Of supply for you to adopt
