in question, had come to the Salem
school bringing with him 13 and one
half credits from the Lincoln High,
of Seattle. Young Talcott was in at
tendance seven school days before
the Eugene game and was a bona
fide student taking regular work
and as far as was known he fully in
tended to keep on going to the school
in Salem. After the game, however,
he became discouraged with things in
general and decided to return to his
home in the Sound city.
There was no agreement with the
Eugene people as to the length of
time a student must have been en-
rolled before being eligible to play;
the only requirement being that bona
fide students taking regular subjects
and having a passing grade in three,
should be played.
Some rumors were circulated that
Mr.. Talcott had been paid to play
this game, but these are. all made out
of whole cloth according to Mr.. Kirk,
and as letters from young TalcOtt,
which are on the student body file,
will show. The unexplained fact
that Mr.. Talcott left school immedi-
ately after the game, looks rather
bad, but this matter is also cleared
up by a letter which the boy wrote
| from his home in Seattle.

OFFERS TO

FOR $45O,OOO
PRESIDENT OF THE p. r. L. &P.
OFFERS TO TURN OVER THE
CANAL AND LOCKS AT OREGON
CITY FOR ABOVE SUM.

The state canal board met today
and accepted, as far as II Is con-
cerned. the offer made by President
Josselyn, Of the Portland Railway
Light and Power company TO sell the
company's locks at Oregon City.
President Josselyn's proposition,
while not authorized by the company
but which he says 1t will accept, Is to
sell the locks for $450,OOO and TO
provide power fumes for the paper
mills located near the locks This
will be saving OF 100000 over the
companys first offer which was to
sell the locks for $GOO,OO0, and put
in all the necessary improvements.
II is estimated that the costof put
ting the old locks in first class con-
dltlon will not exceed 100000. II
this offer Is satisfactory to the gov
ernnent. II will give good efficient
locks in reasonable length OF time
and will do away with all litigation
and unnecessary delays, The secre-
tary of the board was instructed to
take the matter up with the govern
ment, and It Is probable that It
will be heard from in a short time.

WANTS TO KNOW WHY CON-

CONTRACTORS DO.

Ed. Journal: If a report of the
proceedings of the council for last
Monday evening is correct, the coun-
Gil has gone on record for some
strange procedure.
The chairman of the street com
mittee gave it out early in the sea-
son that all contractors for concrete
pavement must give a guarantee, al
though at that time none were doing
so. Since that time no guarantee
has ever been eXacted from concrete
contractors. Yet all the while Ell
Oso and bitulithic pavements were
required to carry five years guar
antee bond and at the last meeting
of the council they are now asked
to give an additional bond for main
tenance. Chairman Lafky of the
street committee stated in open coun
Gil in regard to this matter that the
people paying for concrete did not
want a guarantee much less wanting
a maintenance bond. The question
of treating all contractors alike and
with equal justice naturally calls for
public attention. Contractors for
