WILL OPEN ABSTRACT OFFICE.

WILL OfEN AbS1hACI OFF1CE.
Fay F. Dean has just returned
from North Yakima and Prosser
where he has completed arrange
ments for the getting out at once
of a complete set of abstract books
for Benton county. Mr.. Dean now
has a force of clerks at work in
North Yakima transcribing the
records in that county that refer to
lands and lots in this county, and
will soon put to work another force
at Prosser for the purpose of writ
ing up all instruments filed since
the formation of the new county.
1t will probably take about two
months to complete the work at
the county seats. The indexing
will be done here and will be kept
up with the transcribing work.
Commodious Offices for the new
abstract company are now being
fixed up by G. o. Anderson iu the
building formerly occupied by Full
Ter & Roesch, and Mr.. Dean ex-
poets to be ready to furnish alb
stracts by May 1st. The rapid and
substantial growth of this part of
the county has made this enterprise
possible; and no doubt such an
Office will be of considerable advan-
tage to property owners in this vi
cinity, in that they can obtain alb
stracts of title promptly and on the
day ordered, if necessary.

UNDER ELKINS LAW.
Indictments Against the santa Fe for
Rebating Viii Be Sought

Los Angeles. Cal, Oct 24-United
States District Attorney Lawler and the
federal grand jury today resum-
ed investigation of the charges that the
Santa F'e Railway company is guilty Of
rebating in freight charges to certain
furniture and implement dealers in this
city. Judge DIN Wellborn of the Uni
ted States district court decided late
yesterday afternoon that the railway
company must produce its freight books
in court on subpoena. Attorneys for
the corporation resisted this action and
consumed nearly the whole day yester-
day in argument before the court In an
endeavor to show that a corporation,
like an Individual. was entitled to inn
munity. and could not be compelled to
furnish evidenne 1against itself The
court. however, ruled to the contrary.
The decision stated that a corporation
could not avail itself of provisions of
law enacted solely for the protection of
individuals. The books will according
" be produced in court when wanted.
Indictments viii be sought under the
ElkiEs law, not only against the rail-
road company but also the firms and
individuals alleged to have received the
rebates. 1t is asserted that the South
ern Pacific and possibly the Salt Lake
railway viii be drawn into the investi-
