sorghum mill operated by Dan
Hershberger, and it is a busy place
Just now. Mr.. Hershberger has
Just commenced grinding the sugar

The proposition was firsr suy-
gested last year ana few fa.u,-

was prepared for it's boiling process

Mr. Hershberger. The experiment
proved SO satisfactory that mill
for grinding was this year installed
and is working full time reducing
the cane juice to molasses. 1t is
expected that this industry, which
had its small beginning in Hubbard
last season, will develop into a
great industry for the country. II
Is said that cane can be grown sue
cessfully in Oregon, and the sue

shown the success of the industry

aurora To Hold
Third Election
On School Plan

Aurora, Or, Oct 16.-That Au-
rora will hold another school cleo
ton in the near future seems GER
tain at this time. A petition con-
tanning then ames of forty-e -eightT
tanning the names of forty -eight
school patrons has been filed with
the clerk of the school board ask
ing the directors to call an cleo
ton when the matter of redeem
ing the school bonds may be deter
mined.
At previous election the matter
of bonding the district for suffi-
cient money to build high school
was carried by small majority.
The bonds were subsequently is
sued and have since been pur-
chased. Now the opposition wants
to redeem them before maturity.
This move is the result Of the last
school election when the question
of fixing sufficient funds in the
budget to provide a site for the
building was rejected.
The attorney general has ruled
that the adoption of the budget IN
Aurora was illegal because the
electors voted to prepare a budget
sufficient to maintain four-room
school. The law requires that the
budget be prepared by the board OF
directors and adopted or reJscred
bv the voters. In this event, when
the election is called new budget
will have to be voted upon, ana IL
is also quite probable that the
question of preparing a site for the
school building will become an Is
sue at the special election. Ihe
date for the election has not peen
fixed as yet, but it is though, ~Ne-
ly that it will be held during the
latter part of November. Two
school elections have already been
held in this city during the year

Illicit Still Is
Found In Dallas
Home; Fine $75

Dallas, Or, Oct. 16.-The first
Illicit still to have been found in
Dallas was raided by the sheriff
last night. 1t was conducted by
Ernest Weibe, who lives on Wash
lngton street opposite the Catholic
church.
Mr.. Weibe had a crude appara-
tus, the main boiler being a tin can
and his mash was composed of po-
tatoes, yeast and other conglomer-
ations but he was producing real
moonsnine. When the sheriff raid
ed the home at 10 o'clock p. M, he
found the still on the stove in op-
GRAFTON.
The discovery of the still is pre-
sumed to have been affected by
enemies of Mr.. Weige which he re-
ctnly created as a result of his at
tempt to clean up the town or,
rather, clean up few of the men
who were supposed to have been
giving undue attention to his wife.
Mr.. Weibe was arraigned before
Justice of the Peace John r. Sib-
Icy this morning and fined SIS and
costs for operating this still.

Aurora, Ore, Oct. 16.-At a re-
cent meeting of the common coun-
Gil the matter of placing the street
lights on a switch, so the current
may be turned off during the day,
was discussed. e. G. Robinson,
manager of the company furnishing
the Juice, stated that the cost of
such a system would be approxi-
mately 5000. The question at is
tue seems to be whether the city
of Aurora or the Mellalla Electric
company shall bear the expense of
putting in the switch. 1t is said
that it costs the company about
fifteen cents per light for every

matter was held over until the

assessed for the one previous.
