CHANGERS QUESTION
ATTORNEY GENERAL

AS a guide for the preparation Of
future good roads legislation, which il
4 is intimated will be placed before the
4 people by initiative at the general
election in 1912, the executive COM
mittee OF the state grange, consisting
OF State Master 0. E. Spence, of
Ianby; A. |. Mason, of Hood River,
and {. l.. Shaw, have propounded the
following questions to the attorney
general:
"First-Has any county in the state
of Oregon the power to call a special
election under section 10, article IL,
as amended in 1909, for the purpose of
creating a debt for the building of
permanent roads, either with money
derived by voting bonds or issuing
county warrants beyond $4,000?
'Sec0nd-Can the county courts
issue county warrants beyond $4,000
Indebtedness for the purpose of build
ing permanent roads without obtaining
majority vote of the people at
general or special election?"
The attorney general has held in a
former opinion that the counties of the
state can issue warrants of indebted
ness beyond $4,000 for good roads with
out further legislation, but three is a
string to this opinion, in the last
clause Of the amendment to the con-
st1tution adopted last November, which
reads as follows: "But debts for
permanent roads shall be incurred only
on approval of a majority of those vot-
ing on the question.
This has raised, then, the further
question in the minds of the executive
committee of the state grange
whether the counties can call special
elections for the purpose of learning
the majority sentiment as to the issu-
ance of warrants in excess of $4,000 for
good roads.
1t is believed by tie grange that
Attorney General Crawford will hold
that the counties have no authority to
call special road elections or any other
special election except that power is
expressly given them by the legisa.
ture, and in that event the good roads
amendment adopted last November is
useless without an enabling act giving
the counties authority to call road
bonding elections -- Portland Journal.

universe a chimera, when the whole

and all certainties become enigmatical,
what is the only permanent thing
which may still be his? The faithful

his faith In Providence and, if need
be, find strength to die in peace with

 With Pistol
FOUND WITH BULLET HOLE IN TEMPLE BY FRIENDS
 AT BoUsE
iFrom Tuesaay.s DaiIvl

Photographic adviees received in Prescott yesterday morning from Bouse, conveyed the sad news that John Burdge had been killed, and the supposition is that he died a suicide In the absence of any particulars hIs many friends in this city state that it is their belief that his death was due to accidental causes, and there is no occasion to believe otherwise MT. Burdge had a bullet wound in his right temple and death was instan- taneous, according to several who were in close proximity when the fatal shot was fired and who went to the scene at once. He had been a bumper for the A. &. c. railroad for several months at that place and previously had been with George lis dale in the bridge department. He was very highly spoken of in rail road circles enjoying a splendid repu tation as an industrious and honest young man.
 At the time of the tragedy his younger brother, Paul, was with him at that point attending the public school. His death occurred at 3 o'clock yesterday morning in the pump house and shortly after he left his room to begin his days labor. He was about twenty years old and was the son of the late Mrs. W. C. Burdge. formerly a milliner of this city and who passed away a few years ago in California. Mrs. Walter Cook. of this city, is his sister
 The body will be brought to Pres eott today for burial, Walter Cook and Lester Ruffner leaving yesterday for this purpose. The death of this upright and popular young man IS very much regretted by all and es- peeially by those who had been assO- eiated with him in various ways

Before leaving for his home in Broeton, H., yesterday, H. H. Wright of the board of directors of the Me Kinley Mining and Development company made the announcement that the outcome of recent development was more than satisfactory and from the attractive showing he was better pleased with the condition of the property than ever. At a meeting the day before of the resident di- rectors he expressed himself as favor ing deeper work, specifying the Pea cock and Blue Bird claims. Mir Wright made an examination of the property last February, since when substantial progress has been made in sinking the main shaft, which ex- poses large ore bodies.
