PORTLAND, April 11.—A special to the Oregonian from Vancouver, Wash., says: Louis Gertinger, president of the Co- lumbia Valley Railroad, today notified Circuit District Judge W. W. McCreedie of Vancouver, Wash., that if an Injunc- tion applied for by the Columbia Val- ley road asking that the Portland anhd Seattle Rallroad be Testralned from building across certain property in the neighborhood of Lacamas, Wash, which the Colymbia Valley road claims the ownership of, is not immediately granted serious consequences are likely to follow, for which the Columbia Val- Jey Railroad Company will not assume responsibility. 5 Mr. Gertinger added that the gangs of the-two companies are working close together, and that a collision was like. 1y to occur any time. The situation today in the disputed district was comparatively peaceful. Thé Portland and Seattle graders were working steadily and close beside them, not over a dozen feet away, the Colum- bia Valley gang was busy digging down to their own grade, but there was no violence. The hearing of the application for the injunction occurred last Saturday and Judge McCreedie took the matter under advisement. Monday he went to Goldendale, Wash., to hold court yith- out rendering a decision. Since then the Columbia Valley officials have been constantly urging on him by telephone and telegraph the importance of speed- ily deciding the case owing to the im- minence of trouble. —_————— PUPILS ARE HEARD IN SELECT PIANO CONCERT Students of Miss Esther A.

The plans have been prepared, submitted to the Supervisors of Santa Clara and ac- cepted. A call has been issued for the Supervisors of both countles to meet In convention and dtscuss the proposed structure and there is little doubt that both boards will adopt the design as drawn.
