One of Principal Witnesses-Rates
on Loose Sack Wool is Shown to
be Unreasonable and Unjust.

idents are greatly interested in the
so-called Oregon WOOL case and
more properly known as the Rail-
road Commission OF oregon versus
the oregon Railroad and Navigation
company, the Oregon Short Line COM
pany and other railways connecting
between the northwest and the East

for the purpose.
Oregon interests are represented
by Commissioner Thomas X. Camp
bell, chairman; Clyde b. Altchison
and oswald West. The o. r. e. n.
is represented by Attorney A. C.
Spencer.
Briefly, the oregon Commission asks
for permission to ship unbaled wool
in the grease in sacks in carload lots
OF which the minimum weight shall
b." $4,000 pounds. The specific rates
ask to be put into effect are: $1.92
hundred between Vale and Boston,
s1.9O between Vale and New York,
S1.S6 between Huntington and Boston,
s1.S5 between Huntington and New
York In general language, the
charge OF the Oregon Commission is
contained in the following paragraph
of its complaint:
"That the said rates and charges |
(those existing now) are unreasonable |
and unjust, both generally and rela-
lively, in consideration of the trans
portation services performed, and are
discriminatory and unduly prejudical
to the said dealers and shippers In
that they are higher than the rates
now in force and charged by said
defendants for the transportation over
their lines Of wool Of all kinds from
Portland, Ore, to Atlantic Coast and
other Eastern points herelnbefore

1t is said that the granting of a y

The acme of realism was reached,
though by accident, in a criminal trial
a number Of years ago at Lebanon, o.
Two men had a personal encounter
One of them after vainly trying to
draw his pistol from his hip pocket
turned to fee. A moment later he fell,
shot in the small of the back. One
chamber of his pistol was found to
have been fired. His assailant was
tried for murder. The defense con-
tended that the man had shot himself
while trying to draw his pistol, which
had become entangled in the lining of
the pocket, and that the prisoners shot
had not taken effect The prosecution
contended that such a wound could
not have been self inflicted The defend
ants counsel, Clement L. Yallandig
ham, undertook to demonstrate to the
jury just how the dead mans pistol
had hung in the pocket and just how
possible it was to inflict such wound.
Suddenly there was a loud report, and
the lawyer sank to the floor. The ball
had entered the back almost In the
Identical spot where the dead man had
been shot. The defendant was acquit-
ted. Mr. Vallandigham died. = Ex-
