Judge Beams decision in the

Judge Beans decision in the
Deschutes case is a decided VIC
tory for the Oregon Trunk, and
q staggering blow to the Harri-
man forces. 1t holds distinctly
not only that the Oregon Trunk
has the superior right on the
particular grounds over which
the contention arose, but that
there is no legal merit in the
Hartman lawyers argument
against the legality of the Hill
company's existence in Oregon.
This technicality is bluntly brush
ed aside, and the matter is con-
sidered solely on its merits.
Judge Bean gives both parties
credit for good faith in attempt
ing to build a railroad through
the Deschutes canyon, and says
that neither should be permit
ted to obstruct the work of the
other" This is certainly good
sense, and it is gratifying to
learn from so high an authority
that it is also good law.
1t is greatly to be hoped that
the contending parties will now
agree between themselves, and
that instead of prolonging the
litigation by appeal will proceed
with the important work in hand.
If both insist on building a road
through the canyon very well;
there is room for both. Or, il
only one road is to be built, they
should come to some terms as tc
which company is to build it.
The public has a deep interest in
the matter, and should be taken
into consideration by the con-
tending parties.
Naturally the public is rather
inclined to favor his rival, for
the reason that Mr.. Hartman
has so long neglected his oppor-
tunity to build into central Ore
gon, when there was none to OPP
pose him. Since he would not
build when he could and ought
to have done so. the public quite
agrees in sentiment with the
court that he should not be per-
mitted to interfere with anybody
else attempting to build. Port

On the last page of this issue
is a clipping that should be read
by local horticulturists. The use
of smudge pots would be great
benefit in this section. We do
not contend that this is particu-
larly a fruit country. but with
the showing made this season in
spite of the cold backward spring
it would seem that with a little
effort and care upon the part of
the grower. we could make fruit
growing a success.

GROWING FIELD PEAS.

Judge II. c. Levens has been
experimenting this season with
the Canadian field pea and is
quite well satisfied with the re-
suit so far. He seeded a half
acre but made a mistake in get
ting it too thick and as a result
the peas do not ripen as rapidly
as where they are thinner. He
irrigated the crop once but be-
lieves they can be grown with
out irrigation on land that will
raise barley.
1t is claimed this country is
particularly adapted to the
growth of peas and Judge Lew
ems will thresh this crop in order
to get acclimated seed, believing
it will grow better. His expert
ence has shown him that the peas
will do better on higher ground
where there is some sub-irriga-
ton. Just how he will thresh
the present crop is not yet de-
termined, as it is thought the
machines used for grain will
crack and pulverize the peas more
or less, but he will get that seed
if he has to fail it out.
On account of the crop being
thick in some places and thin in
others it is not ripening evenly,
so he may have to harvest a little
at q time,

the remains to Seattle for inter-

The soul is safe in Heaven.

Swan Erickson, son of E. Erick-
son, was taken quite violently in
sane last week. His mother died
just recently, which undoubtedly is
the cause of the attack. 1t seems
that his mother was buried in the
Colfax cemetery, and on the night
following the burial Mr.. Erickson
went to the cemetery and dug up
the grave, being under the impress
sion that she was not dead. He
raised the coffin cover and put some
stones around so that it would not
fit down tight. He then went home
and left the grave open. Sheriff
Bonde was out and took him in
charge the following day, and after
an examination in the probate court
at Willmar, he was committed to
Fergus Falls.-New London Times.
