Stock Market Still
Awaiting Results

New York, March 6.--The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
While there are some indications of a
revival of public interest in stocks,
there is as yet no material addition to
the buying from that quarter.
There was a still firmer tone in the
securities market and greater activity
than on Monday or Saturday.
Some interest was manifested in the
Austrian note and in the possibility of a
decision by the supreme court in the
Adamson law case, but these were not
of potential influence marketwise, as
was the movement for amending the
rules of the United States senate for
limitation of debate.
A brighter outlook for ship armament
with the re-introduction of bill giving
the president authority to that end ma
turally impaired strength to the ship
ping list.
The steel and copper shares were
strong. United States steel moved up
through Ill. Bethlehem steel issues
and subscription rights added several
points The equipment and war stocks
reflected less gloomy view of Great
Britain's announcement coneernin mu
nitions contracts.

Would Force Action on
Salem Bridge By Suit
Against Polk County Court

Mandanus proceedings were brought
against the counties of Polk and Mar.
ion to compel them TO forthwith con-
struct bridge across the Willamtttc
river On Center street in accordance
with the plans and specifications Of
the state highway commission.
An order for the writ Of mandamus
was obtained az Il clock today from
Chief Justice Thomas A. Mcbride and
in pursuance Of such an order the clerk
of the supreme court issued the writs
Of mandamus and placed them ia the
hands of the sheriff of Marion county
or service at l O'Clock Immediately
after serving papers on the Marion
county court, he left for Dallas TO serve
on the Polk county officials.
Decision In 40 Days
By virtue Of the 1913 amendment TO
the state constitution, this was filed
directly in the supreme court. the court
of last resort
This means that the bridge question
will be brought to a final decision
within forty days. The two courts
have twenty days in which to appear
and show cause why the bridge should
not be built according to the plans and
specifications Of the state highway
commission.
The case is entitled d. A. White and
Pinckney Bros. Dairy, plaintiffs,
against the county courts of Marion
and Polk counties. The plaintiffs are
represented by McNary and McNary.
The suit is brought in the name of
d. A. White and Pinckney Bros from
the fact that an ordinary citizen who
has suffered no loss from the failure
of the counties to maintain a bridge
cannot bring mandamus proceedings.
But where a citizen or corporation has
sustained injury, they can legally bring
suit under the common law.
Basis fer Suit Recited
The mandamus> recitcs the losses
sustained by d. A. White and Pinck-
ney Bros. in the failure of the two
counties to maintain the bridge as part
of the common highway.
The mandamus reeites that under the
common law, counties are required to
keep in repair all roads and bridges
AMI that the bridge is part of the high
way. That the bridge was constructed
in 1890 by the two counties and main
tanned as part of the highway, and that
it has been approved and selected as
n highway by the state highway com
mission, and maintained as such.
The mandamus further recites the
history of the bridge, its condemnation
b. the state highway commission, and
the examination made in December of
L. Il Alnk
the bridge has outlived the period Of
its usefulness, and that the engineers
would not guarantee its safety even
with repairs or restricted use.
That the state highway commission
was petitioned to provide drawings for
a bridge and that these drawings were
submitted at joint meeting of the
two county courts on the 18th of Jan
uary, 1917, and that the county Of Polk
has failed and neglected to approve Of

Hogs and Sheep Are
Still Advancing Steadily

Portland, Ore, March 6.-Notwtth-
standing the continued advance in hog
prices on this market for the past two
months, yesterdays market took one
of the biggest jumps in VALUE ever
made here.
There was but a very light supply
busy early in order to get anything at
all. All the fresh supplies were cleaned
up in the first hour IS trading. One
load Of prime light hogs brought $3.50
which was the days top, while the
bulk of the sales of the good packing
hogs being bought at $l3.25 and $13.
30. Pigs were advanced another 80
cents. The bulk of the pigs brought
$1,000, with sales up to $l2.25. The
market closed on very strong basis,
all the late sales on fairly good hogs
being made at $13.35.
Sheep are Higher
All sheep values scored further ad-
vances during the trade. There was
q fairly good supply and coupled with
a good demand, lamb prices were q
good 25c higher, two decks getting
1910. One load of yearling wethers
sold at $1l.75, which was 75c higher
than any previous sale on this market.
Prime shorn yearlings brought $1,000,
while load Of good mutton ewes re-
allied 1915. All supplies We're quickly
taken up There was a good call from
outside packers.
Wool Situation has Firmer Feeling
Nothing but strength and further
advance in the price list is shown as
q result of the week s trading in the
wool market. Forty to As cents pound
is being freely offered for wool of me-
dium to coarse grades; the higher price
being offered in the Willamette valley
although no sales have been confirmed
at the extreme record
There has been far less disposition
among Oregon sheepmen to contract
their fleece this season at the record
prices than when values were material
ly lower For years Oregon wool grow
ers have sold their fleece below its ac-
tual worth, and for wonder some of
them are beginning to learn to keep
this extra profit at home.
Mohair Price outlook Favorable
Outlook for mohair prices for the
coming season were never so favorable
rs at this time. While none are in a
position to state definitely what the
price of hair is going to be during the
season, the indications are strong for
values around IS cents pound. On
the basis of present values for wool
this would not be an excessive price,
in fact on a cleaned basis this would
be low for mohair.

said plans, and that unless Polk coan-
ty j. commanded TO do Boz hy she sue
preme court. it viii rot aid IN thc con-
structiou OF the bridge.
Note is made OF ilr fac- that Mar
ion county has more than $4,000 col
lccted TO apply on the bridge and that
Polk county hss levied an assessment
for bridge purposes. amounting 10
about $4,000 as an available fund.
The fact Is rcciteJ tha the two
counties permitted the bridge as
"a part Of the common highway. TO de-
teriora.e until 1T become dangerous to
travel and that the bridge had been
closed by joint order Of the two courts
on January S, 1917. That the courts
Doth had declared it was necessary to
build new bridge aud agreed TO
uni in the building Of such.
As all the requirements of the law
had been complied with, the county
courts having met and agreed on the
necessity of building a bridge and that
as assessments and levies had been
made and the money available. the Pc
titioners ask that the two counties
show cause why the bridge should not
be built under the common law under
which the counties are compelled to
maintain bridge as part of the public
highway, also alleging that no county
has the right to abandon public high
way.
The supreme courts of several states
have decided that a bridge is legal
county road and cannot be abandoned.
The mandamus writ served on the
two county courts recites:
"Now therefore, we command you
that you forthwith proceed to construct
and erect permanent and suitable
bridge across the Willamette river at
Salem, Oregon, between Marion and
Polk counties on Center street; or in
case you fail to agree upon the type
and character of such bridge within
thirty days from the issuance of this
writ, that you proceed to erect and con-
struct a bridge at said point in accord
ance with the plans and specifications
and estimates as prepared and submit
ted to you by the State Highway com
mission, and that you pay for same in
proportion to the assessed valuation of
the property of said counties for the
year 1916. And that you appear in
court on the 9th day of March, 1917,
at II O. clock a. m. and then and there
show cause why you have not done so,
or the cause of your omission to do
So"
b This mandamus proceedings in the
highest court of the state will definite
ly decide the bridge proposition, re-
gardless of bridge bill No. 375.

Spranger Released
by COrOner's Jury

Portland, Ore, March 6.-Emil H.
Spranger, who shot and killed Henry
Meister Sunday night was freed today.
The coroner's jury decided that
Spranger fired in self defense, while
Meister was threatening him with a re-
volver,
The quarrel started when Mrs. Meist-
er played cards in Spranger's apart
ment, during her husbands IS absence.
Meister was apparently overwhelmed
by jealous rage, according to the testi-
mony. Witnesses said he seized revol-
yer, pressed it against Spranger's s stom-
ach and began swapping the trigger
After Spranger had killed Meister,
the latter's gun was found to have been
unloaded. The men had been close
friends for 90 years.
