Among those interested in or in
formed as to the case Of Mcleod and
Sturigs VS.. the Despair estate, much
interest is taken in the decision given
yesterday by the supreme court. The
case is one that has been pending
for several years, and the decision by
Judge Ellis was given the latter part
Of last June, shortly before the expi-
ration of his term.
The litigation grew out of the Wade
failure. Wade had been aating as
trustee for the Despains and likewise
for the Mcleod and Sturgis interests.
Money had been paid him by the
Despains to apply upon notes held
against the estate by the plaintiffs in
the suit. This money had not been
credited upon the notes by Wade, and
following the failure suit was brought
to force the Despains to again pay
the notes. The contention of the
plaintiffs was that at the time Wade
received the money he was acting in
the capacity of trustee for the De-
spains, while on the other hand the
defense maintained that be was serv-
ing as trustee for Mcleod and the
Sturgis estate. Judge Ellis held with
the former and decided the case in
favor OF the Mcleod and Sturgis
forces.
While the full text of the decision
Of the supreme court has not yet been
received, 1t is presumed that in decid-
ing the case the court took the oppo-
site view of the case from Judge Ellis
and held Wade to have been acting
in the capacity of trustee for the Stur-
gis estate and for Mcleod.
As the case was one in equity the de-
cision of the supreme court settles the
matter conciusiyeiy. as in equity suits
the supreme court passes upon the
merits OF cases and does not send
them back for retrial when the lower
courts are reversed. However. the
respondents have the right to ask for
a rehearing before the supreme court,
and may do SO.
For the respondents Judge Fee has
served as attorney for the Sturgis es-
tate; McCourt & Phelps for MsLeod,
while on the other side Carter & Ra-
ley, Wort Minor and Judge T. G. Hal
ley have appeared for the Despains.

0. R. & N. HEARING.
JOINT RATE DISCUS
SION ON JUNE IL.
Judge Hanford OF Seattle Fixes Date
OF Icasing on the Case of the
Washington Railroad Commission
Against the o. X. & N.-Joint Wheat
Rate VIII Be Investigated.

Judge C. II. Hanford in the United
States court at Seattle yesterday fixed
June II as the date for the Washing
ton state railway commission to show
cause why 1t should not be restrained,
as asked by the o. r. & N. from hear
ing complaints June 81 relating to the
Interchange of traffic between the O..
r. & N. and other roads, says a Sc
attic paper.
This is another step in. the fight by
the railroad company against the pro-
mitigation or enforcement of any joint
wheat rate order similar to the one
made by the state commission at the
Colfax hearing, August /, 1906, which
was temporarily enjoined by the fed
eral court later and recently with
drawn by the commission.
The hearing set by Judge Hanford
for June II, is occasioned by the Sec
ond supplemental bill of complaint in
the case of the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation company against the men,
bers of the commission, Attorney Gen.
eral John d. Atkinson, and the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific.
This second bill reiterates the pray
ers of the original complaint, that the
act creating the state commission be
declared unconstitutional, and that
the commission be perpetually enjoin-
ed from further orders against the O..
r. & N. Zera Snow of Portland, So
licitor, represented the plaintiff COM
pany in presenting the amended bill to
the court.
Among other things, the bill recites
that the joint wheat rate order was
railroad company, upon demand of
any shipper along its line, to haul
wheat in carload lots to Wallula juno
ton for delivery to the Great North
ern. The commission fixed a maxi
mum rate OF 1sh cents per hundred
pounds or 1885 per ton for the entire
haul over all lines, but the division
between the companies was not fixed.
This order was the result of the hear
ing by the railway commission at Col
fax last summer.
On May 13, the commission, acting
under amendments to the commission
law passed at the last session. formal
ly revoked the joint wheat rate order
of August /, 1906, but passed another
directing the companies to appear on
June 81 and answer certain complaints
touching joint traffic. This order, so
the o. R. & N. claims, paved the way
for another joint rate order, and 1t is
to block such an order that the cor
poration now asks an Injunction.
1t Is expected that several promi-
nent ranchers Of the Walla Walla val
lev will be present on the date set for
the hearing.

1t is hoped to hear from the Ore
gon railroad commission In a very
short time, as to its decision in the
local train between this city and
Portland The o. r. & n. officials
were given a hearing by the commits
sion on Monday evening in Portland
and the commission now has the evil
dence presented by both the citizens
of Pendleton and the railroad COM
pany and a decision will perhaps be
reached soon.
It is believed by all who are at all
familiar with the situation that the
people of this city made an excellent
showing, and favorably impressed the
commission with the need Of local
train tc handle the traffic between
this city and the metropolis and It Is
generally believed that the train will
be ordered.
The chief showing Of the railroad
company was to the effect that the
passenger traffic will not Justify the
| expense of the train and that 1t would
be ruinous to place It in service.
However, 1t IL said that there IL
sufficient local traffic between Port
land and Huntington to justify the
local train, and the people of Ii
| Grsnde and Baker City are also urg
ing the railroad commission to or
der a train on the entire main lin
of the system from Portland t
Huntington.
Travel on the main line trains |
now much heavier than ever. 1t ha
been necessary several times in tn
past week to ada an extra coach her

commodate the people going fror
