Barber Bill Upheld.
The case of the state against H. l.
Briggs, better known as the BARRIERS
board" case, was today decided by
the supreme court in favor of the
board of BARRIERS examiners. The
opinion was written by Judge Bean.
and the decision of Judge NJ. c..
George is reversed. The law declares
that a barber must be registered to
practice his trade, but the contention
is that the board of examiners mas no
power to prescribe (legislate) what
qualifications are requisite to become
a registered barber The supreme
court holds, however, that the legis.
lature can give a board power to
make rules, ETC., and that thus this
act is not at variance with the consti-
tuition. The constitutionality of a
law is to be determined by its pro-
visions and by the manner in which it |
is administered, and, unless it con.
ficts with the constitution, it is valid"

L. B. French, manager of the Port

the Willamette, making temporary ar.
lrangements to establish headquarters
in this city and attending to many
minor details for his company.
Mr.. French is not a brass band"
railway man, and does not rush into
print, consequently is rather adverse
to discussing future plans. Never
theless he is courteous and civil and
easy to approach.
In talking to a Journal reporter, Mr..
French said: I'VE expect to com.
mence work on the permanent sur.
vey at once, probably tomorrow.
am going out this afternoon to meet
the engineers, and the grade stakes
will be set as soon as we determine
one or two right Of way agreements.
The engineer corps will be com.
posed of eight or 10 men, and it will
take about month for them to com.
plete their work. The route will fol.
low the Southern Pacific railroad, and
will touch all the valley towns be.
tween Oregon City and Salem, with
the exception of New Era.
Before the survey is finished we
expect to commence active construc.

pleted this year

metal parts of the gun were covered with rust, and the handle was quite rotten and loose. The application of cial oil removed the rust, and the dis covery was found to be invested with greater interest than was at first sup posed.
 There was found to be rudely en- graved on the metal work the letters "K. w" There were six notches filed on the side of the barrel. The conclu- sion vas reached that the gun had been part of the armory of the late King Woolsey, whose stronghold at Agua Caliente for years was one of the best known places in the terri tory. If the gun belonged to him, those notches on the gun barrel had a real meaning, for he was entitled to put many notcheS on many gun barrels.
 Sheriff Cook brought the gun to town and turned it over to local gunsmith, to have the stock repaired and the metal work cleaned up. It will be put among the sheriff's collection of curious things, and altogether it will be one of the most interesting reminders of the early days in the territory. The dilapi- dated old weapon was shown to Justice Burnett, who said that it recalled to him the first thing he had ever read about the territory and remembered.
 He read it in a Boston paper a great many years ago and at the time he be- lieved it. It did not occur to him at that time that within the ensuing ten years he would be living in the imme- diate neighborhood of the events there In described. The Boston story con- tained an incident in tour of a party of tender feet across the continent by the Southern Pacific route.
 There was a breakdown of a South ern Pacific train near a place called
Arizona republican., 1904-05-16

Sentinel, which consisted of nCth ng more than a box of a railroad office The breakdown was of so serious na- ture that there was no prospect Of the train moving for several hours. The tourists exhausted all the means of amusement at their hands, and finally one of them proposed shooting at a target. A half dozen revolvers were collected and several empty soda, beer and other bottles which were found ly- ing around the station.
 The marksmen established a range some distance from the train and kept popping away at the bottles for an hour or two. One of the tourists; but only one of them, succeeded in hitting bot tie now and then, and he was regarded as the Dr. Carver of the party. An old man with flowing whiskers, attracted by the discharge of firearms, rode up and sat on his horse observing the tar- get practice. Whenever the champion tourist fired the old man would give a grunt expressive of contempt. Finally the champion turned to him and said, Maybe you think you can shoot?"
 The old man said nothing, but dis mounting he picked up bottle, fast ened a. string about the bottom of it in such a manner that the bottle would hang perfectly horizontal in it's invert- ed position. The old man tied the string to the low limb of a mesquite. He next took the cork from the bottle and when the bottle had become stat tionary he measured with his eye a spot directly under the mouth of it. He placed a flat stone there and put the cork on it upside down, directly under the mouth of the bottle. Then the old man set the swinging, and walking away distance of thirty yards. he es- timated to a nicety the position Of the bottle and it's semi-circular path and
