Nine. Scheff has leaned to the romantic

be disappointed at the change, as she
made one of her early hits in Might

The humor Of this play is not hilarious

Johann Strauss music has volume and

"Dick" Lindsay, City Clerk-elect,
Pays Initial Visit Behind

Richard Lindsay, elected city clerk
presented a radical departure from
the popular conception Of an office
seeker Wednesday, when he entered
the office OF city clerk for the first
time in his life. Instead of making
dash for the office. as soon as the
returns were counted, holding a re
ception and telling visitors how ne
proposed running city affairs, Lindsa !
did not call until invited. Then ne
did so reluctantly. half bashfuily. and
when he got there he said to the re.
porters that he didn't know thing
about the work.
"Of course. I've been up to the
counter 10 file my name as candi-
date for the office, but never vert

Existing Laws Counties Cam

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 23.-The lower
court of jackson county was revers-
ed today in the S1,5OO,OOO good

court. The bond issue was knocked

The opinion was handed down by
Judge Burnett, and In reversing the

preme court held that as a negative.
restraining power against incurring
Indebtedness the amended section of
the constitution Is self-executing;
that the powers Of the county court
are the same as they were before the
amendment, only the form of the re-
striction upon Indebtedness being
changed, and that although the leg
islative power of the state had pro-
vided the method of voting on the
election of officers and upon direct
legislative measures, it had never es-
tablished any plan for voting on
county Indebtedness In the absence
of which there was no authority for
holding the election in question, and
IL would not validate the proposed
Indebtedness, the amendment being
in that respect not self-executing.
The court further held that the
county orders or warrants are the
only form in which county indebted
ness may be evidenced under the
present state Of legislation and that
counties have as yet, no power to
borrow money or issue bonds.

and Previously Threatened
Her Life.
From Fridays Daily.

PORTLAND. Jan. 19.-Because, It
is said, she refused to accept his at
tentions, Claude Whitsett, aged 80
years, bartender, formerly Of
Grants Pass, last night shot and
killed Rosa 0rme, Grants Pass girl,
aged 25 years, and then shot himself
In the temple, dying instantly.
Miss Orme died within few min
utes after the shot was fred. and
without telling how It happened. The
tragedy took place In rooming-
house at Second and Madison streets,
shortly after 6:30 o'clock.
Entering the room where the wo-
man was sitting at desk writing
letter to a friend, Whitsett leaned
over her and fred downward, the
bullet from S2-caliber revolver
striking the woman over the right
breast and lodging In the heart. Then
Whitsett stepped back and fred at
his own temple. The bullet went
wild, striking In the wall above his
head. Then he pulled the muzzle Of
the revolver to the level OF his temple
and shot again, the ball lodging In
the temple and killing him at once.
Miss Orme, who took her maiden
name after her separation from her
husband, whom she had married in
1902, is the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. M. Orme, of Grants Pass and Le-
land, Ore. In their custody is her

This decision OF the supreme
court means for us that we must get

In Grants Pass.

The foregoing news will cause pro-
found regret over the state, in Jose
phine and Jackson counties particu-
larly. Jackson county had already
authorized by vote of Its people a
bond issue for s1,500,000, and Jose
phine was only waiting a favorable
decision of the supreme court when
its people would have taken steps
towards generous issue of bonds
for road building.
Had the recent legislature created
an enabling act for the bonding law
passed by the people at the last state
election all of this disappointment
would have been avoided, and law
on the statute books which would
have allowed road bonds.
The good roads commission Great
ed several months ago by Gov. West
has drawn s proposed initiative road
bills. Among these Is bill which is
an enabling act for the present head
less law. All of these bills, except
two not yet given to the press, The
Courier printed last November. The
bill to create the enabling act reads
as follows
An act entitled An act to enable
the several counties of this state to
avail Of the provisions of section 10
of article II, of the constitution Of
the state of Oregon, as amended by
initiative petition effective on proc
lamation Of the governor. December
8, 1910.'
Section 1. That any county In
this state desiring to incur q debt
for permanent roads within said
county may, by an election called BY
the county court upon the petition
OF ten per cent Of the legal voters
computed upon the last registration
lists compiled In said county by
majority Of those voting on the ques-
tion create and issue bonds, warrants
or other evidences OF Indebtedness
or debts for permanent roads or for
the construction. maintenance, i'm
provement, or repair Of the same
within said county"
"Must Get Busy"

decision was flashed into The Cour-
Ter office this evening a representa-
tive Of the paper telephoned the fact
