A TURNER WOMAN
FINDS BLIND PIG
She Emptied the Suds in the Creek and
Then Threw the Kegs in
After It.

When three empty kegs came float.
ing down the mill race through the lit
tie town Of Turner the other day and
banged themselves up against the side
OF the Turner flour mill, certain citi,
zOns of the place fell to the fact that
a much frequented blind pig which has
been operating and successfully elud.
ing detection for some time, had been
discovered and its contents consigned
to the creek,
This most militant temperance move
that has been made in Oregon in a
long time was executed by Mrs. s, L.
Rodgers A few months ago the town
Of Turner voted to oust the saloons
and they were ousted, But blind pig
came. Folks knew the blind pig was
operating, but it could not be located
by foes of the booze.
The "joint" was receiving a strong
patronage. Mrs. Small observed tina
many of the men of the town suddenly
developed an interest in horses ant
seemed to have lot of business in o
stable that stood on neighboring prem
ises. Starting out on an investigation
she boldly entered the barn when nc
one was about and discovered three
kegs of beer snugly hidden away in the
hay NOW. Mrs. Rodgers didn't do a
thing but roll the kegs down to the
mill race, cave in the heads and empty
the "suds" in the creek.

P. E. & T. IMPROVING
STREET-CAR LINES
Laying 72-Pound Rails on to Fair
Ground-overhead Construction
Is Also Improved.

The Portland, Eugene & Eastern has
begun the relaying of the North Com
mercial street car line from Mill creek
to the fair grounds with 72-pound steel
rails and with the best Of ballasting.
This line runs on the Fair Grounds
road, Sixth, Liberty and Hood streets.
The improvement is only part of a
program for general improvement Of
the local system that has been laid out
by the company. In addition to the
relaying of the tracks the overhead
construction is to be made heavier and
more modern. On South Commercial
streets from the tracks to the end of
the line the poles have been set for new
overhead construction. The brackets
for the support of the wires have ar.
rived and will be installed without de-
lay. The overhead construction is also
to be remodeled on the State street line
from Twelfth street to the end of the
line.
At State and Commercial streets the
crossing which has been responsible for
great deal of unnecessary noise is be-
ing removed and a crossing of more
quiet order put in its place. A new
Manganese crossing is being installed
at Twelfth and Chemeketa streets.
Many thousands of dollars are being
expended by the company on local i'm
provements. Other changes in the local
system are to be announced later.

PITIFUL SCENE IN
COUNTY COURT ROOM
Mother, Crying, Clasps Son in
Her Arms as She Heroic
ally Gives Him Up.
THINKS 1T BEST FOR HIM
Judge Bushey Talked Like a Father to
the Boys Before Sending Them
to Training School.
THINKS 1T BEST FOR HIM

A pitifpl scene was enacted in Coun-
ty Judge Bushey's chambers this
morning when Jesse Lee and Dewey
McKelrath, two Of the boys who were
arrested by the police for stealing
hides from local slaughter houses, were
brought before the county magistrate
for hearing preliminary to their com
mitment to the Oregon state training
school.
The Lee boy was accompanied by his
mother, and when Sheriff Esch es-
corted the lad to the court room, the
mother displayed love and affection
for her offspring that brought tears
to the eyes of the judge and other
spectators. With tears streaming down
her cheeks, the wayward lad's mother
pleaded with him; told him how she
tried to assist him along in the world,
going without for his sake, and trusted
him. She told her son that she could
do nothing for him and that he must
60 to the reform school, and the lad,
who had been surly and stubborn be-
fore, broke down. Clasped in each
others arms, mother and son sobbed
out their griefs, while the court dis
continued the hearing.
County Judge Bushey, in fatherly
manner, lectured the boys. He told
them that they had not been given
proper opportunity to make themselves
useful in this world and that the au.
thorities to whom they were to be sent
will educate them, teach them trades,
and that they will be far more FORUM
ate by being taken away from bad
company and temptation to do wrong.
The McKelrath boy had no one to
advise him during the hearing except
the Judge. He told the court that he
had stolen the hides along with the
other boys and was equally as guilty,
and admitted having fired revolver
in the air while being chased by the
Officers.
"Boys," said Judge Bushey, "you
are now going to be placed in the
hands of men who will be kind to you,
who will teach you the better side Of
life. But whatever you do, you must
obey, obey to the letter You come
to me as young, misguided boys. Your
lives would probably have resulted dis
astrously had it not been for the fact
you were arrested at this time. Go to
the training school, behave yourselves
and try and make men instead of
criminals of yourselves"
Forrest Walker, the third member
of the youthful robbing band, was
sent to the Chemawa Indian training
school by the court, the officers Of that
institution having agreed to accept the
lad on account Of his race.

ALL IN THE MIXING
SAYS CITY ENGINEER
He Says Much Concrete Paw
ing Laid Heretofore Has
Proven Unsatisfactory.
THE PROPORTIONS WRONG
Also States That Concrete Laid Now
Is Of Much Better Grade Than
That Of Few Years Ago.

Property owners Of Marion street
last evening at city hall mass meet.
ing decided to pave with concrete and
indorsed the tender of W. D. Pugh,
his bid, $21,996,64, being the lowest.
The vote stood 4469h in favor of
concrete and lib against. The ques.
tion Of the durability of concrete was
discussed at some length and it was
decided that the contractor would be
required to furnish bond to keep the
street in repair for five years. One
contractor made the statement that the
city council had declined to accept n
bond for work done year or so ago.
The city engineer explained that con
crete paving was of much better
grade, as mixed nowadays, than few
years ago.
One Of the property owners wanted
to know if concrete was ever put down
properly, and this brought the engin-
eer's explanation. 1t was admitted that
much of the concrete paving laid in
the past had proven very unsatisfac.
tory.
CTS all in the mixing" said the
engineer" Some contractors used the
wrong proportions, and so the paving
lacked durability"
Scrap on Paving.
A representative Of the Montague.
Riley company was introduced by one
Of the property owners as an educated
gentleman who probably drew the larg-
est salary of any paving man in Ore
gon.
There was spirited controversy be-
tween the representatives Of the Mon.
tague-Riley company and the Clark
Henery company. The representative
Of the last named firm told of great
stretches Of his kind Of paving laid in
California. Thirty miles Of one road
way were laid with what was called
the black base. The Montague.Riley
man came back with the statement
that as result of tho laying of that
80 miles of paving and other unsatis-
factory jobs, the state engineer of Cal.
ifOrnia had prepared specifications
which debarred that kind Of paving
and indorses the kind of paving sold
by tho Montague.Riley company.
Formal action will bo taken by the
council Monday night,

FACTORY IN SALEM
Indiana Men Look Over Situation and
Consider This an Ideal Site
for Their Plant.

Because the site and the necessary
buildings can be procured cheaper in

stock company will be formed
Eastern people have been in the state

bility of such a factory. 1t is stated
that if the factory is started here the

complete commercial school, 1t is
the plan to give both commercial
typewriting and stenography courses
complete.
The school is to be organized and
conducted as a regular department OF
the high school and will be under the
direct supervision of Clinton Wilson

Furniture and typewriters are to be
installed soon and a catalog will be
published fully outlining the plan and
the aim of the school.

agreement that the differences be-
ween the managers and $4,000 con
ductors and trainmen of the eastern
railroads should be arbitrated by the
mediation commission appointed by
President Wilson, the dispute today
assumed grave aspect as "a result of
the insistence by the railroad man
ayers upon eight demands upon their
employees which they declare must be
arbitrated with the demands of the
employees for an increase in wages and
better working conditions. Many
members of the trainmen's committee
are in favor of ending negotiations and
