MARKET STREET SIDEWALKS.
Are Becoming Tangled in the Ne she S
of the Law.

| VI Iu( LdWs
The contract of I. w. Mason for build
ing Market street sidewalks gives promise
of merry wrestle in the courts before a
settlement is effected. The first round
closed Monday in the superior court,
when Judge Irwin overruled the deumr.
rer Of the City Retail Lumber Co. to
Mr. Mason's defense, but this is only
considered preliminary bout.
The history Of the case is as follows:
When Mason secured the contract, he
arranged with the lumber company
for credit for the required lumber. in
payment, for which, he alleges, they were
to receive warrants. This is denied by
the company, they setting up that the
agreement was that the warrants were
to be held in trust for them to the
amount Of their bill; that arrangements
were made with local parties to cash the
warrants, and the company get it's
money.
Upon completing the contract Mason
found himself in position where it was
desirable to transfer the payments, and
he made an assignment to w. H. Abel,
STIMULATING that Abel should pay all out
standing bills on the contract. The com.
pany, fearing it was about to get the
worst of it, brought suit to restrain the
issuance OF the warrants to Abel, and to
direct the council to issue warrants to
the company to the amount OF its bill,
about $4,000.
To this, Mason made answer and set
up two affirmative defenses: First, that
the City Retail Lumber Co. was an
illegal corporation, as being organized to
restrain trade. Second, that the contract
between the city and Mason was void,
for the reason Of his agreement with the
lumber company. several OF the council
being members OF that concern. The
company demurred to this defense,
which is the demurrer overruled by
Judge Irwin Monday.
This action now leaves the company
to file its answer. and make up the
pleadings of the case for trial. The case
is rendered more complex by the ap-
pearance OF Abel. who claims the war
rants as an innocent purchaser, but
should Mason uphold his second affirma-
tive defense, he will have upset his own
contract, and there will be no warrants
to issue. In the meantime, the city is
proceeding with the collection OF the
assessments for this work, and some of
the property owners are paying under
protest, so that, in the event of the con.
tract being declared invalid, they may
get their money back, and enjoy free
sidewalk.

While creditable effort is being made
to get the general appropriation bill

than is usually done there is slim hope
Of success. The appropriations depend
so much upon the laws as finally decided

Pumps for irrigation.

The large percentage of irrigable
land throughout the west lying at
heights too great to be reached by
gravity systems, presents a problem
which can be solved only by the use
of pumping plants, and the engineers
of the reclamation service have been
making Investigations and working up
estimates on several projects to de-
termine the feasibility of their use in
connection with the government irri-
CATION projects. The most important
and variable factor to be considered is
the cost of power and of operating the
plant.

The impression prevails in some
military circles in st. Petersburg that
the japanese, having reduced the posi-

their attention to the next objective of
the war, Vladivostok, is strengthened
by the Associated Press dispatch from
Gunshu pass announcing the with
drawal of the japanese from the i'm

distance of 30 miles south. 1t is real
lied, of course, that this may be mere
ly blind to cover thanking operations,

churia of Russian troops and secured
position from whence expulsion
would be long and difficult process,
may be satisfied to hold the Tie Pass

Considerable excitement has been
caused in London by the publication of

which he states that word has been re-

and that large section of the city and
enormous quantities of stores destined
for the Russian army have been de-
stroyed. The report is not confirmed
from any sources, and inquiries adj
dressed to st. Petersburg brought the
response that nothing could be learned
there as to the truth or falsity of the
statements. If true, it is likely to
prove serious matter to General Line
witch, as the Russian commander s re-
serve stores of supplies were all stored
