TO TEST VALIDITY
OF THE LIEN LAW

Portland, William Reid, ex-
suit in the Washington county cir
cult court which will test the constl-
tutionality of the lien law passed at
the last session Of the Oregon legls-
! lature The law provides that a cred
itor may take possession Of chattels
upon which he has performed labor
And that IL he files n lien with the
county clerk within 80 days after sur
rendering them 1t entities him to fore
close. Two ways for foreclosing on
the lien were provided by the last
legislature. one. the usual method of
bringing suit in court, and the other
consisting of delivery of a certified
copy Of the lien to the sheriff. when
he attaches the property and sells
it in the same way as upon an execu-
ton.
In obtaining an injunction against
Sheriff Hancock OF Washington
county. from County Judge Goodin,
Mr. Reid alleges that the latter meth
ou OF luTtCloSuIe ucpTlNtS inc oNHtT
OF his property without due process Of
law. The case will be tried before
Circuit Judge Campbell. at the octo-
Der term.
The plaintiffs in the suit are Rob-
ert Ham and the Pacific Construo-
tion company. and the defendants n.
]. Person and Sheriff Hancock The
suit is friendly so far as the sheriff
is concerned. It appears from the
complaint that Person. who is a
blacksmith. repaired tools belonging
to Ham, who is a contractor, grad
ing on the Southern Pacific extern
sion, at Bonita, between Hillsboro and
Oswego When the time for settle
ment came, Ham considered Persons
charge of about 5000 too high Ham
thought the price should be about
5000, and expected Person to proceed
with suit. Instead of that he hand
ed the lien to the sheriff, and 1t was
only by the issuance of the injunction
that Ham saved his grading outfit
from sale under the hammer.

SPANISH WAR VETS
MEETING IN TACOMA

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 8.-Seattle,
that insignificant apology for a town
with an exposition annex, has not
succeeded in grabbing all the nation
al conventions from the great and
glorious city Of Tacoma. The men
who humbled the naughty Dons in
the late unpleasantness with Spain,
the tried and true heroes who snatch
ed victory from defeat in many a
deadly encounter with the embattled
hosts Of the ptomalne microbes and
embalmed beef germs, wisely chose
this city for their national encamp-
ment, in preference to the pestiferous
Seattle, and with blare or trumpets
today announced the beginning OF the
1910 national reunion Of the United
Spanish War Veterans. The session
will last several days and will be
marked by many festivities.

HARTMAN
FIGHT ON WATER

Los Angeles Cal, Sept. 7.-Evi-
dence Of a coastwise freight and traf-
fic war between the Hill and Harri-
man steamship interests is seen in
the information officially received to-
day that the North Pacific company
has leased the st. Croix, now dry
docked in Seattle, and will transfer
the vessel from Alaskan waters to
the run between San Francisco, San
Pedro, Portland and Seattle. She
will arrive here October l on her ini-
tial voyage, and at that time the
service will be extended to San Di-
ego, and Santa Barbara will be made
a port of call.
The Roanoke and George w. Elder
are already engaged in the coastwise
trade, and to these will also be added
two ships of the same tonnage
bought in the east and now en- route.
This will make a North Pacific fleet
of five vessels, and Hill, by traffic
arrangement effective September 25
between the Spokane. Portland & Sc
attle Railway and the North Pacific
gains temporary advantage over his
powerful rival.
Hartman, however, has the Rose
City and Kansas City plying between
San Francisco and Portland, and has
two large boats under construction
in the east for the San Pedro-Seattle
service, and it is understood he will
extend the schedule of the two OPP
Grating in northern waters to take
in San Diego and San Pedro to offset
Hills activity.

CREWS BUSY ON

THE DALLES SUPPLY DEPOT
FOR CONSTRUCTION MEN
Contractors at Work for Hill and
Hartman Forces Do Not Wait for
Legal Observation-Disclosures Won't
Extend Columbia Southern.

The Dalles, Ore, Sept. From all
indications in The Dalles and reports
from various camps along the sur
veys. neither the Hill nor Hartman
railroad contractors are worried as TO
the outcome of the legal battles Of
the rival railway magnates.
Porter Bros headquarters in the
Masonic building is busy place, an
office force of about II people being
maintained Regular shipments OF
steel rails and other equipments are
being made over the Great Southern,
and wagons loaded with men ana
supplies are being sent out from here
at intervals.
E. NJ. williams, W. E. Walther and
Victor Marden, prominent business
men of The Dalles, and c. G. Hic-
kock. a travelling salesman, returned
recently firm an automobile trip
through the country that will be tap
ped by the proposed Deschutes rail-
roads. Moro, Grass Valley and Shan
iko were among the towns visited,
and in speaking Of the trip one OF
the party made the following state
ment:
at is my opinion at least one road
will be built, and from present ac-
tivities I see no reason 20 doubt the
construction OF both roads. On TINS
side Of the river, at the mouth OF the
Deschutes. Porter Bros. have a big
crew OF surveyors camped, and on the
opposite side Burns & Jordan, SUD-
contractors under Twohy Bros, Harri-
man contractors, have $50 laborers at
work grading.
&C II. Foss & Co., also subcon-
tractors under Twohy Bros, have
their headquarters at Moro, where
they have 400 men employed.
"Twohy Bros. are sending supplies
regularly from Grass Valley, their
headquarters, and they have leased
the w. H Moody warehouse at Shan
iko, which Is used for storage pur-
poses. Judge Twohy has many friends
in The Dalles, and instructed his men,
in our presence, to give the merchants

chasing supplies, when the prices
were right.
"Porter Bros men are In evidence
everywhere, and the oregon Trunk
people have lots Of supplies at Shan
iko. where they also have leased a
warehouse from W. H. Moody. They
have secured the Malcolm Moody
warehouse at Dufur and have large
amount OF supplies at the southern
terminus Of the Great Southern.
Harvesting is about over in the
section Of the country we visited.
Around Grass Valley from three to
five sacks were harvested to the acre,
the best yield being IL sacks to the
acre"
The report that Hartman would
abandon the Deschutes route and ex-
tend the Columbia Southern is given
little credence here, men who under
stand the topography Of the country
scouting the idea. The assertion has
frequently been made here of late
that the Oregon Trunk Line has been
acquiring a right Of way into The
Dalles.

FANS WANT .PROFESH TEAM
Owatonna Is to Have Fast Ball Or
ganization This Season.

Owatonna, Jan. 20.-Owatonna is to
have one of the fastest baseball teams
III the state next year if present plans
carry successfully. Last year the fast
amateur team which represented the
city succeeded in awakening interest to
such degree that a professional team
is now demanded by the fans, and 1t
is expected that Owatonna will be rep
resented by a team on par with
Faribault, Redwing and Alexandra.
The present plan is to form stock
company which shall have control of
the team and to issue shares which
will be sold to the business men, max
ing the team cooperative one. Erd-
man will probably be secured to pitch
again this season, as he established
an enviable record last year.

st. Paul, Jan. 2O.-The Daily News

LID WENT ON WITH A BANG
St. Paul Cigar Dealers Are the Ones
Who Suffer.

st. Paul, Jan. 2O-Another st. Paul
lid has been lifted i'll place and this
time it is the cigar stores that have
felt the heavy hand of the law.
Not long ago slot machines in cigar
stores were abolished. As a means of
enticing possible purchasers to part
with some of their coin dice game
was started, whereby the player paid
twenty-five cents to shake dice GER
tain number of time to score a given
number of points or more. If he
passed the dead line by his prowess
in shaking he was rewarded with a
dollars worth of cigars.
This game, however, Is 1~emed as
bad as the slot machines, and Chief
O'Connor quietly passed the word to
the cigar stores to Danish the little
round box and the nice Square" dice
from the scenes of activity in connec-
ton with the operation of their estab-
lishments.
And it has been done.
