HILL COMBINE
UNDER ATTACK

Northern, the Portland & Seattle
road announced it's intention of
carrying the case to the United
States supreme court if defeated in
lower courts.
Final decision against the rail-
road means that every property
owner affected by Portland & Sc
attic concentrations or purchase of
right of way in this state may re-
cover and the projected road will
be barred from existence.
Judge Huneke first inclined to
the opinion that private individuals
had no right to bring an action at
lacking the validity of the railroad
corporations existence. He held
that an action of this sort must. be
commenced by the state, but on the
showing of previous decisions on
the point took the case for consid

A legal point involving the valid
ity of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railway combine
is now under consideration by
Judge Huneke. A ruling is expect
ed Saturday.
This case is the fight made by
John H. Lidgerwood, DR.. Byrne and
other property owners Of Lidger-
wood park against right of way con-
domination by the Portland & Sc
attic branch of the Hill system.
Patrick Shine, attorney for the
protestants, argued that the Hill
combination, including the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, as
the parent of the Portland 4 Seat
tie road, has no right to exercise
the powers of eminent domain
through the latter road because the
combine is existing in defiance of
state and federal laws.
He holds that they violate the
law in that while they are parallel
lines they are not doing competi-
tive business. BY reason of this dis
qualification he argues that they
have no standing in court and at.
tacks their organization as illegal
and subject to penalty.
The Importance Of the decision
in this case Is far reaching.

There are few things that rouse
the Swiss inhabitants of Alpine vii
lagos to contemptuous anger SO
much as the spectacle of ignorant
tourists anxious to attack the un-
known heights of dangerous noun
tains. These villagers have spent
their lives among the mountains
and realize their perils. When they
see some stupid newcomer starting
out alone on what may be nothing
less than a suicidal venture, says the

The sensible tourist never by any
means purchases an ice ak. One
day | noticed a man enter one Of
the shops. He looked at the ice
axes and finally bought one. "No
one but a mountain scratcher would
buy an ice ak at toy shop" said
my guide.
The next day l started out for an
easy excursion to the glacier, having
the same guide with me who had
pointed out the mountain scratcher
at the shop. He at once told me
that the "scratcher" had also start
ed for the glacier unattended.
When we began to get on the
glacier the guide fastened the rope
around my waist. Not being

The guides ice ak was ample for
the cutting of necessary steps.
In short time we saw the noun

away with his ak on broad slope Of
ice that reached away into illimita-
Bile distance.
Without wasting words the guide
stopped me and united the rope.
"Stay where you are" he said.
"That fool is right in the track Of
the avalanches. I must get him out
of that at once. He may be killed
any moment"
The guide soon came near his
man, but he was over him, and a
deep crevasse separated them. I
saw the guide thrust his ak forward,
but the mans nerve failed, and he
lid not grasp it. The guide saw
hat he must act promptly and
thrust the point of the ak into the
mans coat and under his leather

ed from friend sitting next to him
that his rival intended to pop the

This he sent to her by waiter,
saying: "To the lady in blue at the
end of the table. Be very careful"
This servant was careful enough,
but the sender forgot to give him
the pencil for the lady to use. She
didn't have a pencil, but she coolly
put the note into her bosom and
