Conductor Good shot.

Frank Sperger, of Sllverton, con-
ductor on the Natron branch OF the 8.
p, has been spending his vacation at
Foley Springs. He thinks that next
spring the bridge will be built at
Springfield, and that the branch runs
will terminate at Eugene, which would
be welcomed by all the railroad men.
On his way down from the springs
yesterday he saw a large deer across
a canyon. The stage was stopped. the
gun put together, loaded, and he sue.
ceeded in bringing down his game at
the first shot. Mr.. Sperger left today
for London Springs, where he will rus
ticate for a few days.-Eugene Guard.

stick to Her.

Here is Bill Arp'h bit of wisdom
that fits every cline, every age, and
every nation; "Once | was young,
but now am old, but have never
seen a girl who went back on her
mother who ever came to be worth a
one-eyed button to her husband. It is
the law of God. It is not exactly in
the Bible, but 1t is written large and
lawful on the lives of many misft
homes. If one of you chaps ever run
ACROSS a girl with face full of roses,
who says to you when you come to the
door: 4 cannot go for 80 minutes, for
the dishes are not wiped you wait for
that girl Sit down on the door step
and wait for her, because some other
fellow will come along and marry her
of, and then you lose an angel Wait
for her and stick to her like a burr ON
a mules tail"

the Woodburn school district has

The Gervais district built new school
hou-e some three years ago, and is
sued a three-year bond. Clerk Man
gold visited Salem Monday and salts
fed every dollar of indebtedness
against the district, and took up the
bonds. There is money left. Gervais
nor her school district are tax ridden.
No school tax; no city tax! Our school

time; the city streets and walks and
current expenses are literally main
tanned. Gervais is a good town to live
in and do business in"

COURT
STREET
OPENING
Provisions the Ordinance
Will Soon Be In
Operation

The ordinance recently passed by
the city council opening Court street
between Fifteenth and Seventeenth
streets was today signed by Mayor
Waters, and this virtually closes that
matter, except as to the few minor
detaill. Section one Of the ordinance
describes the land TO be condemned
and appropriated Section two pre-.
scribes the damages assessed against
the abutting and adjoining property,
a total of S537.95, and states the
names of the parties to whom awards
are made, and the amounts Of same.
Section three enumerates the persons
who are benefited and In what
amount, and assesses the property of
the respective parties TO cover same.
Section four directs the city recorder
TO enter liens against the respective
pieces of property, and directs that
officer as to his duties In the matter
of collecting the various amounts.
Within five days after the ordi.
nance Is signed the city recorder will
give each property owner effected Of
fetal notice of the assessment against
him, and will request payment within
tnat time. After the assessments
have been paid in the recorder is au'
thonzed to pay the claims Of the par
ties damaged After this Is done the
property shall be thrown open as a
public highway for all time to come,
The work OF condemning the prop
erty and the opening OF this street
has been pursued WITH the greatest
care by the city authorities. Every
step taken Is prescribed by the city
charter, and has been carried out
with the utmost care and accuracy.
It IS thought the street will now be
open within 20 days, and II will be
one OF the most needed improve
ments ever made within the city.

Yesterday afternoon, previous to
the interview with Mr.. Paget |. II.
Amos was seen, and he stated that
the petitions in question would un-
doubtedly be filed with the County
Clerk Fields this morning. He also
intimated that such petitions would
be filed in about % counties of Ore

ilege to file these petitions. Anybody
can file petitions. if they present the
necessary 800 names in each county.
We will demand elections in counties,
not precincts. We could, of course,
ask for elections in every precinct
but one or two, but we won't do that.

will not file the petitions are Lake,

ACTIVE
State Committee Expect to
Carry Twenty Oregon
Counties

With chameleonslile reasoning. be
fore the last June election, those who
engineered the vote by which Oregon
adopted the local option law, said
in effect, We are not Prohibitionists,
and the main issue in our fight is not
Prohibition. We are working for To-
cal option" One of the most insistent
thinkers along this line of thought
was Rev. G.. L. Tufts, one of the prinl
cipal speakers in tine local option
campaign. Working in sympathy with
him were such speakers as l. H.
Amos, B. Lee Paget and others, says
the Oregonian.
Now, when the time arrives to file
petitions with the county clerks of
the different counties of Oregon, pc
titions for the local option liquor cleo
ton, official business connected with
the filing of such petitions is being
attended to by the Oregon State Pro
hibition Alliance
Have the Anti-Saloon League peo-
pie and the Oregon State Prohibition
people quarreled?" was asked last
night of B. Lee Paget.
"They have not" he answered.
"The Anti-Saloon League worked in
the campaign for local option The
Oregon State Prohibition Alliance was
organized at the time of our state
prohibition convention, which, of
course met previous to the June cleo
ton 1t. does not matter much which
organization won. Many Prohibitions
lists were members of the Anti-Saloon
League, but we go further as Prohi-
bitionists than local optionists. We
could not consistently advocate any
half-measure dealing with the grant
ing of liquor licenses, as we are there
to prohibit"

New Use TO rEIectricity.

The stmnging of wires for electric
light and power through the valley has
caused a great many farmers to COM
mence figuring upon power for pump
ing water to be used for purposes of
irrigation Those living contiguous to
the electric lines projected estimate
that they can pump their own water
for irrigating and other purposes, pro
vided a sufficient supply can be Sc.
cured, and that is usually to be found
at no great depth throughout the main
part of the valley. Aside from power
for pumping there are various uses to
which electricity can be put on a mod.
ern farm, and we are willing to pre-.
dict that within the next few years
Rogue river valley will be electrified
from one end to the other, and not
one farm out of ten will be found that
is not using the electric fluid in one
form or another.-Medford Mail.
