CITY BOND CASE
NOW IN COURT
FRIENDLY CASE WAS ARGUED IN
SUPERIOR COURT THIS
MORNING.

The friendly suit entities the city of
Walla Walla plaintiffs versus Stanley
E. Dean, brought for the purpose of
testing the validity of the city bonds
was argued before Judge Thomas H.
Brents in chambers this morning.
The plaintiffs state in their COM
the issuance of bonds to the amount
of 100000 for the purpose of erecting
city hall and fire station, and that on
September 1, the defendant agreed to
accept $4,000 of this issue On October
1, the plaintiff rendered the bonds as
per request, and the defendant refused
to accept them on the grounds that
they were valid.
The defendant sets forth in his
answer that at the time of the au-
thorization of the issuance of bonds,
the plaintiff admitted that the city
was indebted for a certain sum pay
able out of the general fund, and that
this amount was in excess of five per
property. AS the bonds were payable
out of the general fund the city had
no power to encur such Indebtedness,
and the bonds are therefore invalid and
feLdant also alleges that he sub
scribed for the bonds only in the event
that they were valid.

NET INCOME WAS
SIX MILLIONS
REPORT OF O. r. 4 N. SHOWS
COMPANY PURCHASED HARD
~ ANY EQUIPMENT.

| OLYMPIA, Nov. 8.-The Oregon
Railway & Navigation company's net
income for the year ending June 30,
1907, was, $5,793,7S4, or more than 10
per cent of the total cost Of the road
to date with equipment and permanent
improvements, according to the an
nual report of the company filed with
the state railway commission. This
! net income was more than II IL per
cent of the total capital stock of the
road but the only dividend declared
stock, and the balance went in to swell
the surplus earnings Of previous years,
which now aggregate $2S.93O,4 400.
i Il is noted that, despite these large
earnings. the company in the II
months did not buy even one locomo-
tive and purchased altogether but "a
new cars. 1t did, however, lease a lot
of equipment from other Hartman
lines, for which it had to pay rental
of $153,340. This leased equipment
leased and purchased equipment of Is
passenger cars, lat freight cars (of
which two We're box cars, 100 stock
cars and As tank cars) and LOG cars for
company use.
The company has but % stockhold-
ers, the report stating the majority of
it's stock is owned by the Oregon
Short Line, which controls it. The re-
port shows also that the O. r. & N
controls, by ownership of all of the
stock, both the Columbia & Palouse
road and the Walla Walla & columbia
River road; that it operates under
| lease 2.54 miles of the Northern Pacific
| terminal property at Albina and Port
land, and that under contracts it OPP
crates $50 miles of the Snake River
Valley railroad, Columbia & Oregon
Central Railroad Co. Operations of all
of these companies are included in the
| income account reported. The report
thus covers 1245.S2 miles of rail lines
| and also gives totals regarding the
steamer lines operated by the COM
pany on the Columbia, Willamette and
Snake rivers and the tug service at the
Columbia bar.
The report shows that $794,276 was
appropriated from income for construc-
ton and equipment, but the .expendi-
! lures were actually $1,207.7S6, which
brought the total cost of the road to
s54 523,94S, this sum including s3,O71,-
400 total cost of equipment. The earn
ings from operation were $12,942,S15
Operating expenses of the rail lines
We're $6969.S21. The company paid
out $SS0,SS0 interest on funded debt,
$35,4S4 rentals for the Columbia River
and the Oregon Southern. The company
spent nearly two millions in mainte
nance of way and structures, of which
$685. 900 was. for new ties. The ope-
rating expenses. however, were but
1886 per cent. of the earnings.
The company has 5461 employees,
who last year received salaries aggre-
eating more than four million dollars
an average Of 1927 per day each. In
the year 1.3637S9 passengers were car
ried at an average rate of about 21-2
cents a mile and 3.42,001 tons of
freight were hauled at an average rate
of less than IL cents per ton a mile.

Herald. Although the governor of the
