WILLIAMS COUNTY NEXT I'EOPLK OF 1UAIV OCT AXOTHEIt DIV1SIOX. FOK Opposition to ProiKsetl Nesniith and ; I'mpqua Counties Develops at lYcIl-Attcncled Meeting. ; DRAIX. Or., April S. (Special.) The apathy manifested by the Kngene and Jloaeburg committees appointed some time Ago to oppose the absorption of a portion ,of Douglas County within the lines of the proposed Xcsmith County creation, and the fact that the people of Florence. Lane County, also desire to absorb the west ern portion of Ioug:las County into a new county to be known as I'mpqua County, lias aroused the people of Drain into an attitude of defense on their own account. A large meeting of citizens and business men held last Monday nisht resolved to outline still another county. A subscrip tion paper was started and several hun Idred dollars was at once subscribed. The petition Is beins circulated throughout fthe town and this portion of Douglas County, and is 'meeting with a good re sponse. ( At the meeting a committee of seven Influential business men was appointed to form the lines of the proposed county. (Briefly It starts at the Junction of the line of I-ane County on the north and Pacific Ocean, follows this line easterly to the line of the Willamette Meridian, thence south to a point and west to the easterly line of Coos County, following the line to the Pacific Ocean and north to the place of beginning. . The com mittee also has- decided upon the name, Vllliama. after Ju-ipe Williams, who died on the morning of the day the first meeting was held. It Is Intended to make Drain the county seat if the county is authorised by a vote of the people In November. The charter election was held here last Monday, and Walter W. Kent, a leading citisen. was elected Mayor over Dwlght Rled, the present Incumbent. All the old Council were re-elected, which assures the continuation of a liberal policy in favor of improvements. Bonds have been voted by the people, and when sold will be used in buying and improving the present water plant and building a main sewer. A new contract for an electric light plant has been presented to the Council and will be acted upon favorably at the next meeting. HUGE PAVING CONTRACT ON EIlcnsburR- Will Lay 50.000 Yards of Hard Surface Tills Year. ELLENSBURG, Wash., April 8. (Special.) Representatives of ten contracting- firms, some of them the big gest paving concerns in the Pacific Coast, are in the city looking over plans and specifications preparatory to submitting bids for paving the streets of Ellensburg. The firm awarded the contract will be required to start work at once, and G. N. Miller, City Engineer, said this morning that work could be under way by May 1. Contractors estimate that 620 car loads of material will be needed for paving Ellensburg streets. A good part of this material will consist of sand and gravel for concrete. Repre sentatives of the contractors propose to go to the Columbia River for this and the Milwaukee traveling freight agent. F. K. Swan, has been in the city for the past week arranging rates for hauling this material. Laying the 50.000 yards of paving will probably take about five months to complete. Iuring the time the work is in prog ress about 200 men and a great num ber of teams will be engaged. Honey Confers With Taft. WASHINGTON, April 8. Francis J.

Washington to Benefit by Changes Decreed In Regulations. OREOOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April 8. The Interior Department has informed Land Commissioner Ross and Attorney -General Bell, of "Washing ton, that several changes will be made in the department regQlations in conformity with their recommendations, which will permit the etate to perfect selections of more than 5.00 acres of land, worth ap proximately J2.000.000. Changes made will give the state equal rights with indivi duals in acquiring title to lands thrown open to entry. The department also agrees to change Its rule in opening land so that they shall become subject to settlement and entry on the same day. Under the present practice lands are made subject to settle ment on a given day and to entry' 30 days later. This operated to pre-ent a ptate acquiring the best of the lands so opened. Ro and Bell are well satisfied with the changes made and regard their Per Lot visit to Washington as entirely success ful. They have filed with the department two briefs supporting their contentions of state title to sections 16 and 36 at tached as the date of admission of the state and not the date of - survey as has been held. This question alone remains to be passed upon. Bell and Boss have left for home. Laborer on Trial for Assault. THE DALLES. Or., April 8. (Special.)
