Edenbower case on TriaI.

Argument was submitted yester-
day afternoon to Judge Burnett in
the case of the Southern Pacific
Railroad company against the Ore
gon railroad commission and after
listening to it the Judge indicated
that he desired to consider the case
and took it under advisement.
The suit is instituted by the COM
pany for the purpose of restraining
the commission from enforcing an
order which has for its object the
installation of a switch at Eden
bower. The commission recently
commenced an action to penalize the
company for its failure to comply
with the order.
The company is represented by At
torney Bingham and the commission
by Charles McNary of the law firm
of McNary & McNary.

Helsingfors, April 21.--The Fin
nish diet proposes to defy the czar
in the latter's attempt to rob Fin
land of it's constitution and liberties
and to make it a mere province OF
Russia. It is conceded that the de-
fianee will accomplish nothing. No
doubt is felt that Nicholas intends To
push his program through whether
the diet acquiesces or not. The Fin
nish lawmakers action will raise a
clean cut issue, however, and place
the Finnish people in position
where they can resort to more vigor-
Gus methods of resistance after hav-
ing let the world know that they
have done everything in their power
to defend themselves by peaceful
means against the establishment Of
despotism over what has hitherto
been perhaps the freest country IN
Europe.
The first step toward keeping the
record straight was taken when the
diet referred to a special committee
the law the czar has notified the.
legislators he intended to lay before
the duma for the reorganization OF
the Finnish government. Inasmuch
as the proposed law takes from the
diet, and vests in the Russian beau
cracy the control of the state rail-
roads, posts, police, civil service and
practically every other public SER
vice department it amounts to a kind
of left handed abolition of the diet
by leaving it with nothing to do.
Nicholas wants the diet to ap-
prove this plan as preliminary to
it's submission to the duma, but the
committee is drafting a report to the
effect that the measure is unconsti-
tutional and that its passage would
be an outrage upon civilization.
Upon this it is expected the car
will dissolve the diet probably for
ever, shove the bill through the du-
ma and accomplish the classification
of the public service, upon which a
start has already been made without
awaiting legal authorization.
This will be the signal for a pas
sive resistance strike throughout
Finland the use of the state rail-
roads, posts and telegraphs being
abandoned, government monopolies
boycotted and the payment OF taxes
refused AS soon as Russia under
takes to enforce it's wishes fighting
will start.

WAR ON AT
EUGENE
THE EUGENE WAY OF BOOSTING
HAS AFFECTED EVEN THE
BABY CARRIAGE OCCUPANTS.

Eugene, April 2O.-(Special.) -
Manager Lambirth, of the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern railway com
pany, operating street car lines in
Eugene, pulled off neat little trick
on an obstreperous individual
through whose land the right of way
of the car company passes to the
river near Springfield. The COM
pany some time ago secured right
Of way across the land of this party
and built a high trestle to joinrthe-
big bridge when constructed over
,the river. The bridge was not
built last year and the trestle has
not been used for some time past
Recently the Lane County Asset
company. presumed to be a railway
organization, but of mysterious re-
sources and plans, secured a city
franchise in Springfield. Immedi-
ately upon the heels of this fran
chise, the P. E. & e. railway COM
pany has felt the influence of the
opposition from various quarters
The notice to vacate the trestle was
believed to have been instigated by
the new operators in the local field.
Coming at this time, just when the
P. e. & E. has let the contract for
the big bridge across the river into
Springfield, the company naturally
was reluctant to give up this section
of the right of way, since it was alb
solutely necessary to have the use of
this trestle to haul bridge timbers
to the ground for construction pur-
poses. Many people were incensed
at the sudden action of Mr.. Giles,
who served the notice to vacate up
on the company, for the reason that
it has been the long cherished hope
of these people that the bridge
might be soon built connecting the
two cities with rapid car service.
Manager Lambirth, believing the
sentiment of the people was with
him, quietly rushed 40 men to the
scene early Sunday morning, laid
the track and strung the trolley
wire and operated cars over the tres
tie, thus forestalling legal action

Raised Bonus for "the Loop"
A sample of the local enterprise |
to be always found in Eugene is seen
in the raising of $S5, 900 bonus to
construct the College Hill loop. |
This proposed loop will be nearly |
six miles in length and will be a
scenic route passing from the thick
ly settled part of the city out among
the neighboring hills. While con-
S 'derable benefit will follow the con-
struction of this loop TO contiguous
properly owners, yet the general |
benefit to the city will be greater.
This addition to the local lines will
give Eugene about eleven miles of
street railway. The surveyors are
at work on the right of way and ac-
tual work will begin the first of
next month.

New York, April 21.---"Wheat
King" Jim Patton today predicted
that the cotton mills throughout the
world would close during August and
September, because they would have
nothing to work on.
He reiterated his denial that he
has attempted to corner the cotton
supply. He said If the law prohibit
ing the purchase Of cotton futures
was passed, he would quit speculating
in it.
"If the government does away with
speculation, he said, "1t will merely
put cotton in the hands Of few

means of knowing what cotton is ac-
tually worth"

FIGURES BY POSTMASTER
BRING FACTS TO LIGHT

Figures compiled by Postmaster Call
show that during the month of July the
Gary postofice issued 1929 money ord
ers of which 1882 were domestic and
AL went to foreign lands.
Money Stays at Home.
The amount of money sent out ag-
gregated s36, 27930 and of this sum
a total of $16.970.0S showing that each
money order sent over the seas
amounted approximately to four times
the amount of any single domestic
order. This amount tends to show that
the city's foreign population does not
send as much money home as is gem
orally thought.

than $4,000 abroad last month only
