Hill Wins Suit.

James j. Hill won a sweeping VIC
tory over his rival, E. H. Hartman
In the fight for possession of right OF
way for the North Bank road by a de-
cision handed down Saturday by Su-
perior Judge McCreedie at Vancouver
The decision is sweeping in its eff
feet, and the most important yet made
in the controversy between the Port
land & Seattle railway and the Column
bia Valley Railroad company over the
right of way at Cape Horn. The court
holds that from the evidence sub
mitted the Columbia Valley company, a
Hartman corporation, did not intend
to build a railroad, and that it mas not
the means to build a railroad, and that
it was only harass and annoy the
Portland & Seattle that action was be-
gun to enforce contracts for rights of
way entered into in 1899. If these de-
it will bar the Columbia Valley road
from any right to build a line down
the right bank of the Columbia river.
The decision enables the Hill COM
pany to compel the Columbia valley
officials to show that they have in
tended to build a road or have their
rights of way declared void. The cases
involved are those against A. M. Wei
gand and Others in which the Column
bia Valley brought suit to compef TIE
fulfillment of contracts.

drawers are lined with wood, e1ameled

in the same way, with wooden drawers
