HEPPNER.R|TTER
ROAD IS COMPLETE
Bridge Across John Day Finished
And Federal Aid Will Be Ask
ed For Improvement of Road
Through Forest Reserve.
Road Means Much to
Ritter.

There is now direct road connec-
tion between Heppner and Ritter.
After several years of agitation and
after more recent hard, consistent
work, the greater part of which was
donated by public spirited citizens Of
the Ritter community the road has
become reality.
The north fork of the John Day riv-
er has been bridged and Ritter is now
35 miles closer to market than ever
before. The road is most natural
one, being on water grade the en-
tire distance. Leaving Heppner, the
highway goes up Willow creek, across
the summit and down Ditch creek to
the John Day river. In the entire
distance there are only two steep
pulls, one is out tf the Willow crock
basin and the other is up over the
hill out of the North Fork into Rit-
ter.
The road opens up rich terri
tory to Heppner and the substantial
donations made by Heppner business
men show they have not been slow
in realizing the value of the road.
Local men have subscribed nearly one
thousand dollars toward the compile
tion of the Ritter road. Ike last
donation was completed this week
when a committee from the Hepp-
ner Commercial Club raised $2S5 as
Heppner's part toward the building
of the North Fork bridge.
About nine miles Of the road pass
es through the National Forest Re-
serve. Inasmuch as the Morrow
county court has offered to spend dol
dar for dollar for all the government
will spend, 1t is likely the Fedora
Aid to Road Building commission vii
be asked in short time to assist II
improvements to this part of the roac
passing through the reserve.
The committee raising funds fol
the Ritter-Heppner bridge was II

raising of this last contribution, Mr.

CORPORATION COMMISSION
 LOSES SUIT

PHOENIX, Oct. 17.-That the law is unconstitutional and that it would force an unreasonable conflict with the rights of a corporation to conduct its business, were reasons given by Judge Wm. w. Morrow of the federal court this morning for making perma- nent the temporary injunction of the Copper Queen Mining Company a. gainst the state corporation commis- sion and the Attorney General There will be no appeal
 Judge Morrow spoke the decision of himself, with Judges Van Fleet and Sawtelle concurring. and the order, to be drawn up by the attorneys for the complaining corporation, will be sign ed by the judges.
 Judge Morrow said among other things that if the law should stand. it would prevent the company from ever going into bankruptcy, or litigating a patent. or taking any legal action that might require federal jurisdiction. The statute under which the state sought to revoke the charter of the company says that it shall be unlawful for a corporation to take an action from state to federal court, under certain circumstances. The suit was in no manner a fight. but was merely to de eide once and for all whether the law was constitutional or not.

Says There Was No Excuse for Delaying Railway Issue Till Crisis Forced Passage of Adamson Bill.
REFUTES CHARGE OF INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT
Lets Everybody ask Questions and Answers Them All as Crowd Cheers and Offers to Throw Out Hecklers.
(By Review Leased WIre)


 SIOUX CITY. Ia. Oct. 17.-Charles E. Hughes. facing a friendly audience sprinkled with hecklers, tonight re- piled in answer to a question as to whether he would repeal the Adamson law if elected president that "a sur render could not be repealed"
 Mir. Hughes was asked what he would have done to avoid the threat ened railroad strike.
 If arbitration had been refused" MT. Hughes said. 'I should have gone right to the American people. stating the facts and put the responsibility where it belonged"
 Delay Was Fatal
 q should at the same time." Mir Hughes continued, have secured a commission of inquiry so impartial. so fair as to command the respect of the entire country and directing public opinion to that end that there is no group of men in the United States that would have dared hold up the instru- mentalities of commerce if that were done"
 The heckler still had another ques- ton to ask.
 MT Hughes" he said. "any ques- tion that is asked here is asked with no enmity toward the candidate of the Republican party You would have done all that within twenty four hours?"
 Actlfn Urged Early
 Why, sir" the nominee replied, ''the business men of the United States through the interstate comr merce commission of the United States on July g. sent a telegram to the President asking for an inquiry A resolution was introduced in the senate for an inquiry and was laid on the table. For months the business men of the United States asked for an inquiry as to this very matter and the crisis was allowed to be developed when it was unnecessary that it should have been developed and there was adequate time to ascertain what the facts were"
 Hughes Answers All
 The heckling was attended by the utmost confusion. The audience, which had cheered and applauded loudly in the earlier parts of Mir. Hughes address apparently was in- censed at the interruptions and there were mank cries of put him out" 'sit down" and shut up." At the nominee replied to each question the crowd cheered it's approval. It was necessary after each interruption for MT. Hughes to step forward and re- quest that the heckler be allowed to proceed.
 Mir. Hughes cited his record as life insurance investigator and as Cover nor of New York in answer to the dec !. laration that his election might mean ! the setting up of invisible govern ment" in the United States.
 A man with a big stick in the gal ! lery sought to heckle the nominee on labor affairs. He asked a question that apparently was misunderstood in . the confusion and Mir. Hughes. amid O roar of applause. read what the . Legislative News. the official organ of organized labor. had to say in praise of his record as governor. When the applause died. the man a. rose again. The crowd would have . put him out and for more than a min ute the audience was a tumult of con sion.
