Interesting Facts Brought
Out in Trial This Week i'm
Cod emnation Suit.


Mr.. Levy, vice president of the
Northern Pacific, and who is in
charge of the business of that road
on the Pacific coast, stated during
his testimony on Friday last that he
started into railroading as tele
graph operator, and worked his way
step by step to his present position.
There have been 46 maps intro
duced so far in evidence and each
one shows up some part of the plans
OF one road or the other not shown
on the other maps.
1t is said that lawyers in court
quarrel and make up as soon as thev
get out. This is not the case, how.
ever, between B. S. Grosscup, gener.
al western attorney of the Northern
Pacific and Henry J. Snively, divis-
ion counsel of the North Coast. 1t
is apparent from many occurrences
at the trial that they don't like each
other little bit, either in court or
out of court.
Superintendent Palmer created
quite smile when he said in an
swer to a question of Attorney
Snively that the reason why the
Northern Pacific could not move the
hay out of the county was because
of lack of trackage and not for lack
of cars or good intentions.
A right handsome thing it was
for the lawyers of Yakima to fore
go their personal interests and agree
to let the jury, which was called for
February 6, be discharged and let
the North Coast cases VS.. the North
ern Pacific be tried ON that date.
Otherwise these cases would have
of necessity been passed over till
April 2, which would have had the
effect of continuing them till next
fall This was public spirit, and the
members of the Yakima bar deserve
the thanks of the public for their
generous and public spirited act.
Among the witnesses for the
Northern Pacific were several
bright young civil engineers, spic and
span out of school, They could
give the old engineers cards and
spades on technical terms, too.
The man who attracted most at
tention during the trial among the
witnesses was H. v. Gates, expert
for the North Coast. Mr.. Gates IL
one of the most distinguished civil
engineers in the United States and
is recognized as an authority on the
laying out and construction of rail-
roads.

Here is a new, or at least hitherto untold story of the late Senator John J. Ingalls,, of Kan sas. It is related by one of the most prominent newspaper men in the West, long time intimate friend of the senator, and at the time of the incident conducting a paper in Topeka. The senator was seated in the office of the editor when a gentleman from one of the ;'a' sa. vss,ts "a's;' and a,aa ":ssss rs;,s any time in preliminares. Isnor- ing the editor he walked up to the senator and said:

 "Yes, I know fairly sang the great statesman. You want to know about that postoftice. Don fret yourself You shall have it.
 In three minutes the country constituent had been sent on his way rejoicing. Then the editor said to the senator
