fers Theodore Bell of California and
Henry d. Clayton of Alabama for the

be strong planks favoring actual re-
vision of the tariff and control of

the lumbermen understand the rail-
roads are considering appealing the

case, they feel such action will not be

dent of the Pacific Coast Lumber
Manufacturers association, said: "If
further contesting is rorced upon the
lumbermen and the rate case taken
to the supreme court, lumber inter-
ests will spend every dollar they
have in defense, If an appeal is taxi
en- and lumber conditions remain un-
settled as they have been for six
months, no business worth mention
ing will be done until the appeal is

Owing to the fact that the entire
time of the circuit court since yester-
day morning has been occupied with
the Ferguson-St. Dennis case no fur
ther work has beeh done in the Nolte
case, upon which hangs the fate of the
Pendleton saloons. 1t is now proba-
BILE that the Nolte case will not be
reached until Monday and possibly not
until the afternoon of that day.
Harras VS.. st. Dennis.
The st. Dennis case now has de-
veloped into a hard and very bitter
legal battle and the end is not yet in
sight. The case results from a deal
that was made last fall between Rein
hold Harras, the butcher, and Desire
st. Dennis, whereby the latter was TO
lease his ranch to Harras for a term
of 10 years. st. Dennis brought suit
to cancel the contract on the ground
that he was hopelessly drunk when
induced to sign the same. In his
opening remarks yesterday, Will NJ.
Peterson. leading attorney for st. Den
mis-, administered a glowing roast to
Harras and it is said that following
the same Harras threatened the attor-
ney with violence. However, no trou-
Bile resulted.
Among the witnesses on the stand
today have been Oscar Cain, the
Walla Walla attorney, Gus Harras, w.
NJ. Peterson, Desire st. Dennis, Mrs.
Funnymark and others.
C. J. Ferguson is made plaintiff in
the case now through the fact that
Harras' interest was taken up by him.
