LAWYER DOES SOME
FINE HAIR SPLITTING

Raising the contention that to per-
NIT the county court of klamath coun-
ty to proceed and build a new court
house on the site selected will be
equivalent to moving the county seat,
which can only be done by election Of
the people, attorneys representing
parties asking for an order to restrain
the court made novel argument be-
fore the supreme court yesterday af-
ternoon.
The suit to restrain the county court
from building the new court house Is
brought by II. j. Murdock. Prior TO
the creation of the town Of klamath
Falls--at least prior to It's adoption
Of that name-it was knRwn as Link
VILE The boundary lines Of Linnk-
vile were fixed by an act Of the legis-
lature, and within those boundary
lines is located the old court house.
Some time ago an element began a
movement to build a new court house
on q site outside these boundary lines.
Contending that the boundary lines Of
Linkvllle are in reality the county
seat, and that to build a court house
outside of them virtually operates as
a removal Of the county seat. Muir
dock, representing an element opposed
to the building Of the new court house
instituted the injunction proceedings.
The lower courts denied the lnjunc-
tion.

Lewiston, Ida, July 26.--In letter
to Lewiston friend, Senator W. u.
Borah, Of Idaho, today clearly defines
his attitude in the coming campaign.
After stating that he would like to
return to the senate for another six
years to participate In what he de-
clared would be the most important in
constructive legislation in the history
Of the country, Senator Borah added:
Nov, as to the third party. do not
believe there Is anything TO be gained
by third party. That is to say, | do
not believe 1t will result in greater
progress toward the things which we
ought to do or will result In more Inn
mediate legislation upon those things
about which we ought to legislate. /
cannot see any fruits to be gathered
from that effort. do not believe
that It is possible to build up a third
party in this country which can get
hold of the legislation within the next
20 years. II thought that by joining
third party | could more effectually
do what ought to be done; that we
could more effectually leglslate for
what the people ought to have,
would not hesitate to join it. But
do not believe that it Is the best way
to accomplish It."

WAITING OUTCOME OF BALTl.
MORE CONVENTION.

NEW YORK, July 1.--While all eyes
are turned toward Baltimore these days
what the Democratic national conven-
ton may or may not do is awaited
now with philosophic courage, not to
say indifference, When the news came
in soon after II o'clock that the first
vote Of the day had not materially
changed the situation politically, trad
ers turned to the market and gave
attention to it as though grave events
did not hang upon the decision whether
conservatism or radicalism Is to pre-
vail in the nominations of great
political party.
Stocks opened strong, sold a little
higher, had a slight reaction, and rail-
lied again in the course of the morn
ing. Trading was duh, and the market
more or less in a waiting attitude, but
there was no appearance of gloom or
discouragement over immediate pros
poets. Industrials were relatively
quiet. Steel opened n of a point high
er. at 7lA, sold off a point and rallied
again to 71h. American Can opened a
fraction higher sold backward y of a
point, and gained the loss before noon.
Rails were the stronger. Lehigh Val
ley opened at Saturdays close, lost
three-fourths of a point and advanced
to 172. representing a net gain of half
a point. Reading showed a similar rise
after sharp drop, and Union Pacific
was steady at fractional advance.
The Washington times., 1912-07-01

Missouri Pacific, whose net earnings
showed an advance of S22e, 724, and an
increase of more than 81, $4,000 for
eleven months, was firm at half point
advance.
The London market for Americans
shows small fractional changes each
way. Press comment on financial mat
ters over Sunday Is generally optimis-
tic, the political situation being the
chief uncertainty at the moment, and
that Is expected to be cleared up with
In the next day or two.
Crop advices are generally favorable,
although not uniformly so, money VIII
be easy after the return OF funds dis
bursed today, bank clearings, gross
railroad earnings, etc, indicate trade
expansion OF a conservative sort, In
fact, aside from politics. the country, Is
ought to be reflected by purchases OF the
better grade issues on any setbacks
which may develop on unfavorable po-
litical news.

London is impressed with the strength
of Steel in face of the adverse rumors,
and are buying American stocks for
higher prices.
