OPENS N||!s| TODAY
DISPUTE OVER RENTED LAND
MARKS FIRST CASE BROUGHT
TO TRIAL.

A dispute over whether Or not a
township of land contains the required
number of acres, involving a seeding
bill, has brought Charles Jobe and
George Raymond, well known Walla
Waila farmers into court to settle
their dispute, their case being the first
one brought to trial at the February
term of the superior court which con-
venej this morning.
Mr.. Raymond it appears rents a
large body of land from Jobe. The ex-
act acreage has never been settled
owing to an alleged mistake made by
government engineers in measuring
the and, the contention being that the
township is short. In settling the bill
for seeding the land. the question of
the number of acres involved came up
with the result that the parties could
not agree and the present lawsuit was
the result. The case is being tried by
the following jurymen: F. Marsh. w. G..
Allen, Trim Tehan, c. S. Robinson.
Jerome Reser, M. d. Brooke, S. w.
Smith. Archie Dunnigan, Henry Mes
siers. Joseph Tachi. J. G. Anderson, and

Saturday afternoon when at the meet
ing Of the wheatraisers' association
the Ames Harris Nev1ll company of
Portland. offered to furnish sacks to
the farmers for $7.15 per 100 delivered
here Last year the pool price to the
farmers was two cents or more per
sack higher than this figure, says the
East Oregonian.
AT o'clock Saturday afternoon. the
Wheatraisers' association convened in
the Commercial association rooms
for the purpose of opening sack bids
Some five or six bids were presented
company was the lowest. The next
closest bidder was the Kerr Clifford
company, which offered to deliver
sacks here for 1925 per 100. The sack
offered by the 1Ames company is the
black stripe bag made in Portland.
After the bids had been discussed
lat length it was voted by the wheat
men to accept the Ames company's bid
and to order their sacks for the CON-
ing season. Thus far the number OF
sacks subscribed for by the farmers
is slightly over 100000 and that num-
Der was bought today.

PROSSER. Feb. 17.-The officials Of
the Prosser Traction company are re-
joicing over the prospects for the early
beginning of work on the preliminary
surveys for their lines. The promoters
are assured of adequate financial aid,
and expect very soon to begin opera
tons. One member Of the coll1Pany says
that the contemplated lines include
the following:
A short line to connect with the new
North Coast railway at it's station; a
loop to extend west and northwest to
take in, Euclid, Grandview and Sunny

From this latter line a branch will be
constructed to the south end of Benton
county to connect with the Portland &
Seattle railway.
1t is possible, also. that still another
branch may be run through the Rat
tlesnake country to Hanford. or White
Bluffs on the Columbia and thence to a
connection with the new Chicago. MIL

plant will be located five miles below
Prosser. It is not fully determined
where the electric line will cross the
Yakima river. whether at the power
plant or at Prosser. or both.

DIVORCE is GRANTED TO

TACOMA, Feb. 17.-Mrs. Julia NJ
Seymour Bemer has the distinction OF
being probably the first woman in the
history of this country to have been
divorced from two men in the same
court room. and at the same time. Both
decrees were granted by Judge Reed
Saturday morning. The first freed her
from Alfred HI. Seymour. and the other

she was legally separated. Eight years
ago Mrs. Seymour married Alfred H.
Seymour. Less than year afterward.
Seymour deserted her, and inquiry
proved that he was a bigamist. She
gave up her search for him.
Two years later she met Benjamin F.
Bemer, and believing her first mar
riage was void she married him. A few
ago she learned that her sec
ond marriage was illegal, and then she
sued to have both marriages an

PHOTOGRAPHS.

Another chapter in the continued
class scraps of Whitman college was
added last night. Saturday morning the
photographer for the Junior annual got
busy and made some first class pict-
ures of the scrap while the sophs were
bound hand and foot and getting
ducked in the pond. This the sophs
did not Hike and so they made away
with the said pictures. hiding them in
a trunk belonging to one of their num-

On agreement not to use the pictures
in the annual. the photographer was
to have his pictures back. Instead Of
getting them in this way, however, he
got bunch Of freshmen and went up
and by means Of the power of superior
numbers, soon had his beloved films

about two hours in connection with the
fracas and both sides still thirst for

COUNTY LOSES A
FORTUNE IN TAXES

EVERETT. Feb. 17.-By the decision
of the supreme court rendered In the
Snohomish county tax case the county
loses $4,000 in tax receipts from the
railroads.
The supreme court held that the
action of the Snohomish county tax
officials of 1906 in disregarding the or
ders and directions of the state tax
commission in fixing the values on
railroad properties was void and of no
effect, thus reversing the Snohomish
county superior court.
The decision hinges on that portion
of the state tax commission law of 1905
which gives the commission general
supervision over assessors and county
boards of equalization.
In 1906 the tax commission fixed the
value of main line railways at $14,520
mile. Snohomish and one or two more
counties raised the valuation to $25,-
900, and the Great Northern sued to
restrain the county treasurer from col
lecting the tax.

FOREIGN INVASION
OF LABOR RESENTED.
Bitter Feeling Engendered Against
Greeks and italians In Grays
Harbor Country.

HOQUIAM, Feb. 17.-The invasion OF
cheap labor, such as Greeks, Armenf-
ans, and Italians, into the Grays Har-
Dor country. is threatening to cause
great deal of trouble. There are be.
tween 500 and 1000 foreigners in the
harbor country now and to this the fa-
boring men attribute the cause of low
wages.
In the mills of the harbor the Greeks
are working for the low wage OF $1.25
per day. The white man with family
cannot compare with this cheap labor
and maintain his family. and senti-
ment is growing which will terminate
in trouble between the two classes.
The Greeks have given the police OF
this city a great deal of trouble, fig
uring in. everything from attempt at
murder to petty thievery. They have
used the knife and gun freely, and in
large numbers have assaulted several
people.

PORTLAND, Feb. 17.-That the 0.
r. & N. company is going to make vast
improvements in order to meet the
spirited competition which it will meet
from the north bank road is shown by
the fact that new passenger engines of
a larger type and higher power have
been ordered for the mountain division
Of that system, according to reports.
pull 10 passenger coaches from Hill
gard to Kamela and from Huron to
Kamela on the Blue mountains have
been ordered from the east and will
during the coming spring.
This will give the o. r. & N. much
the advantage over the north bank,
as it will enable that system to re-
duce its time and cut out delays now
caused by helper engines on the
mountains and although the north
bank line is about 40 miles shorter
between Spokane and Portland than
the o. r. & N. the latter system will
be in a position to compete with the
north bank in train schedules and time.
Other improved equipment is in
contemplation and when the north
bank system is ready for operation
it will find the o. r. & n. ready to
meet all of the promised stunts of
that line.
