enter upon campaign of improve

i've. The school grounds are to be i'm
proved and many of the old buildings

Calf Costs Ten Thousand.

klamath Falls-lt took the jury just
25 minutes to find verdict for the de-
fendant in the Kelley-Arant damage
suit, last of the cases resulting from
the criminal prosecution of Jay Arant,
who was indicted for the larceny of a

ment, while the second acquitted him.
Three cases resulted over the ownership
of the calf. The calf involved in the
litigation was worth approximately
$40. The money expended in litigation
will aggregate close to $40, 900, and OF
this amount the taxpayers of the coun-
ty will be forced to pay not less than

BUILD TO SlUSLAw.
Holding Company Will Back Eugene &
Western in New Road.

Eugene-The Eugene-Siuslaw rail-
road, which has long been talked OF,
appears now to soon be reality. The
proposition to build the road has
reached point where the promoters OF
the enterprise feel that the building OF
the line is a certainty. The Lane
County Asset company, which was Or
ganized in Eugene last winter for the
purpose of promoting the line, will be
the holding company for the Eugene &
Western Railway company, which was
incorporated few weeks ago to build
the road. Offices have been opened
here and operations will be directed by
the asset company.
1t is the intention to offer for sale tC
the people of Eugene and vicinity al
least $3.50, 900 of the stock of the Lane
County Asset company, the funds TO be
used in building the first section of II
miles of the road. When this has beer
accomplished it is proposed to turn all
the assets over to the Eugene & West
ern Railway company, issuing stock
holders the same amount of stock in the
railroad company as they have paid fol
in the asset company and to issue anc
sell the bonds of the railway company
for the purpose of completing the roac
to Florence.

Teachers Occupation is Gone

San Juan, Porto Rico, July 12.-The
steamer Carolina has sailed from here
for New York, having on board all the

to pass the Olmstead bill, which was
designed to remedy the deadlock exist
ing between the executive council and
the house of delegates, leaves the is
land without money to begin the fiscal
year, since the legislature has made no
appropriation.

Dam Has No Fish Ladder.

Mills City-Anglers and others resid-
ing in this vicinity complain that thous-

every one in the vicinity is connected
in some way with the lumber company
