ing its rise in the East and following it's
progress across the country and its de-
yel0Pment on this coast, and its expiring
expression now apparent in Alaska; and
during the presentment. he laid especial
stress on the fact Of the proven neces-
sity Of inter-communal tryst and con-
filence in facing and bearing the burden
it imposed everywhere on its fight; and
showed that Oregon and Oregon COM
munities were not one whit behind tho
rest Of the country in standing pat for
each other; and from this predicate said
many clever things for Astoria and
Portland and urged the maintenance Of
kindly and friendly equipoise between
that city and this.
AT the close Of his remarks, Manager
John H. Whyte, Of the Astoria Chamber,
at the suggestion Of the chairman, read
the following autograph letter Of re-
gret which had been received from Mr..
| I. B. Wilcox. of Portland, which was
hailed with prolonged expressions Of
good will by the house:
Portland, December is, 1907.
My Dear Mr.. Whyte:
Il have just wired you Of my in
ability to join YOU and your Astoria
friends on Wednesday evening, assuring
you that at some future meeting shall
be glad to join with you in eating and

capable OF the former than the latter.

AFTER NEVADA RAILWAY MEN
Court Asked To Have Grand
Jury Investigate Charges
Of Perjury

Hawthorne. Nevada, December 2S.-
At the conclusion Of the case Of Esmer-
aida County VS.. the Carson & Colorado
Railroad in the District Court at this
place. in which Esmeralda County
sued the Railroad Company for de-
linquent taxes. Judge Mack. attorney
for the county. asked that Judge
Murphy appoint special Grand Jury
20 investigate charges Of perjury
against Alouzo Trip. formerly Presi-
dent of the Tonopah Railroad Com
pany J. +. Hedden, Superintendent Of
the Tonopah Railroad Company. and
j. +. Willicut. Superintendent Of the
Carson & Colorado Railroad.
He stated in open Court to Judge
Murphy that the attorneys for the
county had evidence to prove that these
prominent railroad men had perjured
themselves in giving the valuation OF
their roads TO the Board of Equaliza-
tion Of Esmeralda County. Judge
Murphy stated that he was soon TO go
to go out OF Office and for that reason
would continue the matter until he was
succeeded by Judge Langdon. who
would attend to IL.
In speaking of the case, Judge Mack,
who was associated with Deputy Dis
Attorney Henley for the plaintiff, said
"Alonzo Trip, ]. F. Hedden and j. F..
Willicut were supposed to give state
men,s to the Board Of Equalization Of
Esmeralda County, stating the true
valuation OF their roads in Esmeralda
County, but instead Of giving the true
valuation. they placed the valuation
much smaller and refused to pay q
larger tar for the roads. They stated
the true valuation to be $500 per mile,
when, In fact. the valuation should be
$500 per mile or more.
I'm 1905 the Tonopah road figured
its net profits at d .000. 900 for the year. /.
when that road has only ninety miles
of track in Esmeralda County. The
Carson g. Co'orado Compapy's net pro-
fits for that year were between ", ,OOO,.
900 and 5000. 900. The Supreme Court
has held that the correct way to figure
the true valuation Of railroads is to take
the net profits and capitalize it at the
current rate Of interest. According to
this rule. the valuation would be more
than 800. 900 per mile. while the Presi-
dent and Superintendents Of the roads
claimed the valuation to be much
smaller.
'.Esmeralda County sued the Tono-
pah road aud received judgment for
t36. 1856. 43 aud costs OF the suit. We
will now demand that the reports Of
President Trip. Superintendent He'd
den and Superintendent Willicut be
investigated and will swear to q COM

perjury"
