board of county commissioners of NO-

foot to build a road from Orange City

IN COW CREEK CANYON, OREGON
Cars Detched and Are Believed to
Have Been Forced BY Dynamite.
Three Men Did the
Job. -.

Eugene, Oregon. The first sec
ton Of the Oregon Express on the
Southern Pacific railroad was held up
and robbed at Westfork, in Cow Creek
canyon.
Three masked men stopped the train
which was northbound, ordered the ex-
press and mail cars separated from the
passenger coaches and then compelled
the engineer to run his engine up the
track It is believed the robbers dyna-
mited the detached cars.
Explosions were heard in Westfork
from the direction in which the cars
were taken. It is reported that several
thousand dollars worth of gold dust
was on the train.
The train left for San Francisco on
time but lost twelve hours. This would
have brought it through the canyon in
daylight. It is believed that the rob-
bers learned of the delay and laid their
plans accordingly.
Many delegates and others in at
tendance on the International Sunday
School Association convention, which
closed in San Francisco Tuesday. had
arranged to return East by way of
north coast points, and number of
them probably were passengers on the
train.

RURAL SCHOOLS iNsANlTARY.
Health Board Employees Investigate
Complaints From Many Places.

Complaints are being received by
the State Board of Health showing de-
plorable sanitary conditions in connec-
ton with some Minnesota rural
schools. Employees Of the health board
have made examinations into the
schools sanitary conditions. and they
are convinced that these conditions
are inimical to the health Of the pu-
pills and to the residents Of the dis
tricts. -,.
The board received vigorous COM
plant from man living near the out
buildings Of a rural school. He said
that conditions were unbearable and
implored the board to take immediate
steps to have them rectified.. The board
however, is powerless to act There
is also an absence of authority in the
department OF public instruction to
condemn or clean unsanitary school
premises. At the last legislature a
bill was proposed authorizing the
board Of health to inspect rural
schools. It was not passed.
There are laws providing for an in
spection into sanitary and other con-
ditions Of the jails and hospitals, but
there is no law compelling local
boards to keep their schools clean and
sanitary.

A cable from Copenhagen states
that Johan SEVERN Svendsen, the Nor

born in Kristiania in 1910. In 1883 he
was appointed royal musical conductor

symphonies and Norwegian rhapso-
dies placed him among the most promi-
nent orchestral composers of modern
times.
In 1907 school gardens were opened
in connection with few public schools
in Norway. This new departure proved
a success, and now the educators
all over the country are asking for
school gardens as a means of practt-
cal education. Those teachers who
have made fair test of the plan agree
that when the children get chance
to work in a garden in connection with
the school work they become much
more orderly and docile In the other
branches. The city Of Kristiania has
responded to the 0sMand by turning
altogether some fourteen acres Of land
over to the schools for gardens.

Now that Prince Hans Of Denmark
y no more. some funny anecdotes
from his life are making the rounds Of
the press. the following being one Of
the funniest Of them: Some twenty
years ago King Oscar Of Sweden in.
v1ted the royal family to visit at the
Sof1eto summer palace, near Helsing.
borg. When the Danish visitors land
ed at Helsingborg they were met by
King Oscar and number OF other
prominent Swedes. To keep the curl
Gus crowd at decent distance the
police had stretched ropes around the
landing place. King Oscar stepped
forth to shake hands with the guests,
beginning with the ladies and saying
few pleasant words to each of them.
This took little time, and Prince
Hans of Denmark, who wore q very
plain suit. walked away from the com
pany few steps along the shore. Just
as he was returning an over-zealous
policeman grabbed him by the arm,
raised the rope and pushed him into the
crowd on tn, outside, telling him gruff-
~ to stay where he belonged. The
prince. realizing the situation, ex-
planned with a laugh. But I have been
invited here" go to your acquaint-
ances and don't stand here grumbling,"
continued tho policeman. BY this time
King Oscar was through with the rest,
and he asked, But Prince Hans, isn't
ae with you?" Eyes, he is here" said
che royal guests in chorus. "He
came with us. But where can he be?
This Is stranger" Prince Hans had
heard the king asking the question,
and, raising his hands in the air and
scowling at the policeman, he shouted,
Here am, your majestey!" Taking
q few steps towards him, the King
asked, But why do you stand there?"
Perhaps that man over there can ex-
plain the NATTER" said the prince,
pointing with laugh to the annihilat-
ed policeman, who pushed the prince
back under the rope with feverish en-
ergy. BY this time the royal party as
well as the crowd outside the rope re-
allied the situation, and the merriment
became both general and noisy, Prince
Hans himself enjoying the joke as
much as any of the rest.

VINEGAR IN G. CAST | on
ACTION AGAINST CHICAGO FIRM
IS NOW on. At MINNEAPOLIS, TO
De BiTTERLY FOUGHT.
FIRST UNDER U. S. FOOD LAWS
Federal Experts On Ground Manufac.
turers Of Whole Country Arc Watch
ing Seizure Of 100 Barrels
Of Cider Vinegar.

The frst important application OF
the federal pure food law provision
relating to cider vinegar commenced
In the United States district court in
Minneapolis, when the case Of the gov.
eminent against Speilman Bros. Of
Chicago came up for trial.
According to government experts
both the prosecution and defense have
been accommodating data for a long
period and the present action will be
fought to the bitter end.
Assert Product Was Not Pure.
Speilman Brothers are charged with
violating the pure food law by selling
cider vinegar in Minnesota which the
federal authorities assert was not pure.
The vinegar, 100 barrels, was sei1ed
here by government inspectors who
declared It was distilled product and
was not made entirely from the juice
Of apples, although some Of the orig.
inal Juice was found in it. The allie
cation is made that their product Is
about one-half cider vinegar and one
half distilled products, mixed with
acetic acid. The government experts,
speaking generally, say manufacturers
not only sell an impure article, but
make it SO that one barrel will produce
about the same results that two bar.
rels Of pure cider vinegar do. and that
it is therefore much in demand by
picking works. The consignees were

for Speilman Bros.
The federal experts, Messrs. Doolit.
tie, Talman and Bender, held confer
ence yesterday with United States Dis
trict Attorney C. G. Houpt and will
continue it today. -..
First Trial Under the Law.
Mr.. Doolittle said no test Of the law
relating to vinegar had been made
since it went into effect. Many seiz'
ures had been made, he said, but the
manufacturers never allowed the cases
to go to court until the present In.
stance. Speilman Brothers. however,
assert their product was pure and
therefore was entitled to be labeled a.
such. .., ..-
Immediately after the seizure tho
firm decided to offer contest. Since
that time experts Of the company and
the government have been busy gath
ering and organizing data to be used
in the trial. Mr.. Doolittle said man
ufacturers the country over are watch
ing the proceeding and it's outcome
