They were defeat ed by a superior team by the score of i.' to 0. It was really 18 to 0, but Coach Ford let the other touchdown go rather than have a scrap. The couch of the Oregon City team admit ted that the team was beaten In every department of the game, but the bo-3 were anything but good losers, that Is, were not sports. Result, the school refuses to play Estacada't basketball team. Well, we presume It Is not the first tlmo would-be sportsmen have shown the material of which they are made. "CONTRIBUTED." KILLS HIS MOTHER AND THEN HIMSELF; NO WORK KVERETT. Wash., an. 26. Despond ent because he had been out of work several months, E. W.

"The county court of each county within the state of Oregou shall at Its first regular seahlou of each and every year determine the sum of money or moneys to be expended by each road district within the taid county, and If the amount thereof shall be the mtn of 11000 or over, whether apportioned out of the gen eral fund or voted by any road dlH trlet for permanent roud or highway const ruction, or both, to be expended within aald road district during the year for which the same waa ap portioned or voted, the county court shall Instruct the county surveyors or county road master to prepare plans and specifications of the pro posed Improvement within auld road district at to line, grade, drainage and material or materials, and file the tald plant and specifications to gether with an citiniate of the prob able coat thereof in Hie office of the county clerk of tald county." New road law. Not only doet the new law- require the county courts of the aeveral coun tlet to build permanent bighwaya whether they want to do so or not but It requires that the contractor who re ceives a Job under this law must file a bond for GO per cent of the amount of the work and must accompany bis old with a certlflued check fur five per cent of the cost of the proposed Im provement. In accordance wth this section of the statutes, the county court of tuts county will let all of the work tbnt Is to be done on the highways by contract and wll not this year, at In the past, allow the supervtslors four mills to rpciid at their own tweet will and pleasure. . Split Road Money. For the past four years, at least, the county baa been dividing the roaJ money between the general road fund and the supervisors and has proceeded to forget that It raised more than four mills after the apportionment bat been made. The tuperrliiori were given one half of the total road levy as the law required that they should be and were allowed to spend that money aa I hey thought best upon the highway of their own districts. The new law now requires the court to lay plans for tome definite perma nent road work. It forces upon the courts the necessity of doing some thing along lines that will last. The highways must be built under contract In every district where the total levy It tlOuO or more and the road super visor merely bocomoa an agent of the county Instead ofa law unto himself and he spends hit time watch ng the contractor to toe that no bud work U done. Bretkt Machine. There Is one objectionable foatuie of the law and that la that it breaks Into tho political machinery. The road supervisor becomes merely an agent of the county. He cannot spend the money uMin the highways and be cannot do more than suggest to the court or to the county turveyor the roads that he thinks ned Improve ment In his particular section of the, system. ( 1'nder this law, the supervisor's Im portance Is ninterally lessoned and th, contractor becomes the factor with whom tho county reckons on all Jobs. Repair Work. The county court Is at a loss to un derstand how. In those districts that have not more thun $1000 for roads, such contracts may be let and funds yet remain for any emergencies that may arise in the construction of bridges or culverts that may be sud denly washed away by the rUIng of Mrcnms. It also is puzzled as to how repair work inuy be done on highways and believes that the law contem plates nothing but improvements with out leaving room for the repair of any but the main lines of travel. More Deputies Needed. The district attorney, Gilbert L. Hedges, has been called upon for his advice in this matter and if the court finds Hint there Is no loophole left, it will let the contracts under this pro-j vision of the statute. The court does not think that the county surveyor, unless he Is given more deputies, can handle the work of supervising all of the road construc tion In the county with the number of districts that are now of record and be lieves thut the only way out of such a problem would be the reduction of the number and the widening of the lines. This cannot be done until the October term of the court, however, and the county will have to work un der the present system until that tlni' Henpecked Husband Says Wife Threatens To Poison His Food 1 localise he was henpecked and .its wife threatened at various times to poison him, according to the complaint, A.
