A Freak.

Rogue River Argus: We have a
piece or chain taken from the ground
IL feet below the surface. One day
last week we were called to the lower
end of the Sisson place, years ago
known as the Jewett place. On ar
irving we found Mr. Sisson in a hole
in the ground, and on examining that
hole we found it to be an old we'll
Mr.. Sisson is leveling off few acres
for irrigation and a part of it is
being taken down about three feet
and as the scraper was going along
it caught on a chain. On digging
around with a shovel a well was
found and the chain was followed
down for II feet and there was still
more. We recognized the chain as
part of an old chain pump. 1t
seems that in 1860 a residence stood
near there and the flood of 1862
ruined the place and must have filled
up the well, which was forgotten
Two pieces Of the wood of the pump
and 10 feet of the chain are now in
the hands of Mr.. Sisson.

$500 Set Aside for Antelope Repairs.

Medford, Sept. S.-County Com
missioner w. G. Lever, in reply to
the complaint made by James Ker-
shaw of Climax that the county court
has not needed the requests of the
citizens of the Antelope Valley for
needed road repairs, states that
court has appropriated 5000 for the
repairs, double the amount request
ed, and that there is no cause for
complaint.
District roads in isolated sections
cannot have great amount of i'm
provement" said Mr.. Lever, until
we get the money to make them. AS
long as we have to spend most of
the road money in repairs to roads
in the heart of the valley, there will
be little to spend in remote sections.
With the main highway and the pos
tai roads cared for from other
sources, we can turn our attention
and money to the outlying roads"

Il direct that an elegant tomb

and beckoning to him to cross, and
on which tombstone or monument
shall be engraved the following epi-
taph: TO an independent, good
looking old bachelor, who in his
days preferred living a sin
gle life rather than get married and
have a petticoat boss ruling over
him the rest of his life and perhaps
through an endless eternity"

State Officers Sued
for MisapprOpriatiOn

Salem, Sept S-Suit was institut-
ed in the Marion county circuit court
Friday by Attorney General Craw-
ford against Governor West, Secre-
tary of State Olcott and State Treas
urer Kay to recover $16,51S.S3,
which is alleged in the complaint to
have been unlawfully expended and
paid out of the "penitentiary revolv-
ing fund" by the defendants. The
suit is the outcome of a bitter fight,
following charges made by the Port
land Evening Telegram that West
had misappropriated something like
$4,000. West several months ago
passed the matter up to Crawford,
telling how to proceed against him
self or the Telegram, after an in
vestigation, The suit indicates that
Crawford finds the governor was
wrong. Kay and Olcott have already
attempted to get from under by as
serting that they demonstrated with
the governor for making the expend-
itures and finally passed a resolution
last November to cease the illegal
use OF the fund. 1t is alleged in the
complaint of the attorney general
that the secretary of state drew war
rants on the state treasurer in the
sum sued at the request of the gov
ernor and the state treasurer hon
ored the warrants without sanction
of law. The board directed that KAY
enter and credit in his books of ac-
count all money received from the
sale of brick by officers of the peni-
tentiary and all moneys received as
rent from the prison foundry in the
so-called, revolving fund"
Crawford charges that the money
so paid out was done so without leg
islative authority and that no appro-
priation covering the same had ever
been made. West is chiefly blamed
in the complaint, it being charged
that the claims were incurred by his
direction pursuant to pretended
authority"

Oregon Text Book
Contract Violated

Salem, Ore, Sept. S.-That the A.
n. Palmer Company, Cedar Rapids.
Iowa, has already violated its con-
tract with the state board of educa-
tion by selling a text book in the
state, known as Writing Lessons
for Primary Grades" for 20 cents.
when it is retailing the same text
book in other states for 15 cents.
and that he has also evidence that
the company is further violating it's
contract by selling "Palmer's Method
in Business Writing in Chicago for
16 cents, while it is retailing il in
this state for 25 cents, was the dec
laration made by State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction Churchill.
Superintendent Churchill first sus-
pected that the company was violat-
ing its contract with the state when
he discovered that the text book
known as Writing Lessons for Pri-
mary Grades" sent to this state, had
printed on them retail price of Is
cents. This he decided was fairly
good evidence that the text book was
being sold cheaper in other states.
and started an investigation. After
securing positive evidence that the
contract with the state was being
violated, he wired the company with
the result that he was advised that
it had notified J. K. Gill & Co. Of
Portland to reduce the retail price
on this text book to Is cents.
Thursday he obtained evidence
that "Palmer's Methods in Business
Writing" is being retailed in Chicago
for 16 cents, while it is being re-
tailed in this state for % cents. He
has wired the company with relation
to this, and unless a reduction is
made at once, will call a meeting of
the state board of education and
have the contract abrogated
The first named text book is used
in grades from the first to the third,
and the last named in all grades from
the fourth to the eighth. According
to the estimates made, the two text
books will be used by about 1876, 900
pupils, and reduction will mean the
saving of thousands of dollars to
parents.
When the company's representa-
tive appeared before the text book
commission he represented that the
lowest possible price at which the
first text book could be sold was 20
cents, and the lowest at which the
second could be sold was 25 cents.
The company entered into a contract
with the state board of education
agreeing not to sell either text book
in any other state or territory at
lower price than that provided for
in its contract with this state.
