Corner Third FORI LAND, The Road Fund Oabk In the case of the City of Oregon City vs. M. L. Moore, county treasurer of Clackamas county, a rehearing was denied on Tuesday in the supreme court at Salem. The court be low held that the question as to what portion of the road taxes collected from the property and inhabitants of Oregon City should be applied under the exclu sive control and direction of the munici pality, could not be determined by a mandamus proceeding against the coun ty treasurer ; that, as the law made the county court the tribunal to determine that question in the first instance, it is only on an appeal regularly brought before the supreme court that the court could review the decision. The county treasurer could only pay the money col lected over to the city upon the order of the county court. The opinion was pre pared by Judge Bean. Fob as Open River. The committee having in charge the matter of arrang ing for a convention on June 1st to form an association for the improvement of the Willamette river say in their circu lar: " We hardly think it necessary to formulate an argument to convince you of the desirability of an early improve ment of this very important river of Oregon. The only difference there could be would be as to the best means of ac complishing the object Neither the Or egon City board of trade nor the com mittee desires or intends to arrogate to itself any special authority on account of taking the initiative in this matter. We presume something would have been done long ago had it not been that one locality was waiting for another to make a start." . i . - ft Tub Event ob the Season. Mrs. Theo. Olark, Mrs. R. L.
