Many local investors are subscrib ing: for the bonds of the Willamette Valley Southern Railway, which Is be ingf built from Oregon City to Mount Angel via Beaver Creek. Mulino and llolalla. It is probable that the enWre issue of $700,000 will be sold before April 1. Confident that the bonds will find a , ready market officials of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, which guarantees the bonds, are pre .paring for actual construction of-the road that is to open to development a rich agricultural territory. Surveys for the entire distance of 32 . miles have been completed. All the ' right-of-way with the exception of a lew short strips has been secured. The farmers in the affected territory are interested in the project and are co- operating with the rail line officials to j effect early completion of the road. ) Most of the stock is held by the farm- . ' ers. For the last few years, under leadership of Steven Carver, who orig ; inally conceived the project, these farmers have struggled to finance the enterprise. By sale of $57,000 worth of bonds, most of which were sold to Car ver and his associates, seven miles of road have been built.' These bonds were sold at a heavy discount and now , will be redeemed by the proceeds of the new issue at par. That part of the line already con structed is in need of improvement. It will be given immediate attention In this particular. A high-class roadbed will be laid over tho entire distance and first-class train service will be v made possible. ..Completion of this new enterprise not only .will tap parts of Clackamas and Marion counties now without railroad connection, but will give growing com vt' X munlties like Molalla and Mount Angel, now served by steam roads, the added - benefits of electric service. . Before the Portland railway offi- rials became interested in the project 'v the stock of the Willamette Valley Southern sagged heavily and some farmers, discouraged, sold at a sacrl ' flee. It has been only within the last . few weeks that the Portland officials " thought seriously of assisting the in fant road. When C. M. Clark, chairman of the board, came here from Philadelphia last week the plans were presented to him. They appealed to him and he agreed to have the Portland railway guarantee the bonds, interest, prin cipal and sinking fund. They bear 6 per . cent interest, payable semi-annually and will mature in 25 years. They can be called at any interest period at J 03 upon 60 days' advance notice. Morris Brothers, of Portland, are han dling the issue. The Continental & Commercial Trust & Savings Bank of Chicago is trustee under the mortgage, which authorizes a total issue of 13. 000,000 in the event further funds are required for extensions beyond Mount Angel. NURSE EXAMINES PUPILS Clatsop Schools Reported in Good Condition by Miss Vrecland. Miss Rosine Vreeland, state school nurse, has sent tho State Board of Health a favorable report on Clatsop County. She says that the Astoria schools are commendable. She found one building In Skipanon to be in a bad location on low, muddy ground. It had one room with a partition to accommodate S2 children, and she did not consider the building fitted for a schoolhouse. The drinking water was in an old bucket with one dirty glass. Miss Vreeland's report of Clatsop County shows that 26 schools were in spected with a total of 2321 pupils. She found 17 cases of impetigo, 62 of Inflamed eyelids, 15 of defective hear ing, 3 mental defectives, 1 partially blind. 3 of possible tuberculosis, 1 of scabies and 1 of ringworm. GAMBLING CASE DISMISSED Iack of Specifications Frees Chinese Taken in Raid. After a jury had been drawn in Mu nicipal Court to try Lung Fong and nine others for gambling. Attorney Fague discovered yesterday that the complaint did not specify a particular form of gambling, which the ordinance ' calls for, and asked that the case be dismissed. Judge Stevenson granted the demurrer and the defendants were freed. Fantan beans and rakes and 50 cents were found on the gambling tables by the police who raided the place, but they were unable to say Just what same was being played. So the com plaint was made to read "a. certain game of chance." The ordinance says what games of chance are gambling under the city law, and this narrowing of the fleld gave the verdict to the defense. NOW EVA HAS LITTLE LAMB And City Health Officer Says She May Keep It, Too. Sobs and tears punctuated an appeal made yesterday to City Health Officer Marcellus by little Eva Allen, of 914 Montana avenue, in behalf of her pet lamb, which she heard was to be re moved from the city because it was not provided with a barn with a ce ment floor, as required by the stable ordinance. While no cement floor would be re quired for the lamb, the little girl, who is 13 years of age, got a notion that It would and she could not rest until sure. First she wrote a letter to Dr. Marcellus urging him please to let her keep the lamb. An investiga tion was made at the premises later and the girl made a personal appeal. 6he is to keep her lamb.

Several petitions were taken out by individuals who called at the headquarters yester day, but they promised that they would have them filled in time to return them to headquarters tonight. The impression became prevalent yesterday that the committee was not seeking any more names for the peti tions and several people Inquired at the headquarters to ascertain whether or not it was true. It was made clear that the committee desires all the names that can be procured before the headquarters close, since it Is the aim, not only to have the required number of names on the petitions, but to have as many more as possible so as to in dicate clearly, on its filing, the strong sentiment ot the people against the expenditure of the public money for metering purposes. Many petitions were filled at the headquarters yesterday by people who came in to inquire as to the progress of the campaign and petitions will be held open there today for sucn as care to come in and sign them. Strong as the mass of petitions that will be rushed in today may be, the committee expects there will be many petitions out in the Held that cannot be called In before the coming week and the first two or three days of next week will be required to complete th work.
