HOISTING THE Til AT Bonlon Bowers and his Ashland associates are in ionf upon hoisting (he black flag of repudiation and financial depression on Jaekson county is evidenced by the filing of an injunction suit against tlio Medford bridge. If the injunction is sustained, I he validity of all of the outstanding warrants will be questioned, and similar pro ceedings involve them in prolonged litigation. The effect is already seen on tho warrant market. Just how the county can be prevented from spending money it has on hand. 'or should, by state law, have on hand, raised bv a law for this purpose, is difficult to see. aIi Bowers will probably succeed in stirring up a mass of discord and bitter strife, temporarily depreciate the coun ty warrants and produce thereby temporary stagnation, but his of torts it is predicted will be ultimately crowned with failure and obliquy. Out of the court proeedings will come a thorough air ing of the manner in which county funds are handled. The law is very explicit. It reads: Section 2957. ' 'County Treasure rs Books, How Kept, lie shall so arrange and keep his books that the amount received and paid out, on account of separate and distinct funds, or specific appropriations, shall be exhibited in separate accounts, as well as the whole receipts and ex penditures by one general account. " Section G320. "The county court or commissioners' court of each county in the state may lew a tax of not to exceed ten mills on the dollar on all taxable property of said county, at the tune ot making the annual tax low upon the previous year's assessment, 'which shall be set apart as a general road fund, to be used in the building and improving the public or county roads or bridges on countv roads of the county in which the property is lo cated.'" There was levied a four mill tax for the road fund this year. Half of this sroes to the road supervisors. The re maining half, or $76,000 should go into the road fund. Of this amount $4S,075 has ben collected and should be in the road fund. Instead of placing it where the law requires, it has been placed in the general fund, and nearly all ex pended in redeeming warrants. If the courts hold that the building of the bridge is lawful, because money by special levy was raised and should be on hand, and that the county is not therefore contracting new and unlawful indebtedness, what will be the treasurer's position? If the money has been illegally diverted and spent, should not the treasurer and his bondsman be compelled to make it uood? , OH m n MSP. .ABERDEEN', 'iu, June 10 Frank Ream, a local attorney, mourns the loss of .J2700, which amount was paid over to A. S. Chamberlain, mi old time friend, who has been operating in Ashland for several' yean, handling real estate. Beam and Chambrlain were old college chums, and a short time ngo Chamberlain came" to this city and visited Beam. Last Monday Cham berlain ndvied Ileum that he had u deal on nnd that money must be paid over in coin, lie asked Beam to j;U'c him his check for i?2700, and in return gave Beam his check for a like amount. Chamberlain left that evepiug, and several days later Beam swore to a warrant and officers arc searching for Chamberlain. T Beluceu .')0 and 100 members of the Suattlo Automobile Club are expected to iir.it this I'ity.latu in .lune or cany in July. They are coming in mach ines and will either be hero on their way to San Francisco to attend the 1'acitio god roud convention or on their return homo. The Seattle Automobile Club num bers more than 500 members, and it is hinted that more than halt' of tho membership of the club will attend the convention. Each car will stait independently, with tho object of ineetiiiir in San Francisco on a stated date. Some of them will start two weeks or more before the time they are to bo in the Buy City, and tho members of each car will pick qut the route they dfhire to travel and the country they'wunt to see, Word comes thai many of tho nutoihls going on the good roads mission will pass Crater lake if tho roads aro open so they can reach that place.

Cooper Morns, convicted of embezzlement ot the wrecked Oregon Trust & Saving bank, a parole at tin- tun. He said he took thi- action solely bccane the granting of a parole to Morris would be used by eueimox of pri-ou reform to hummer the indeterminate law and parole system. In addition. Governor West also refused to grant parolct, to Arthur Green, Bcu Hintou and Earl and Em inett Shields who are serving life sentences for the murder of Ollio Snyder, who hod killed Greu'n brother near Monument, Or. About two mouths ago the parole hoard recom mended a parole for each of these four.

Now It may have meant something to uo or two of tho Old Faithfuls- yestor-- d.ijs when Mac walked to tho mound for Central Point. But something of tho boy's former prowess was lunklng perhaps because Cilrley Wilson wasn't on tho receiving end. But at that Mac pitched a good game until the sixth or seventh when ho weakened. Medford won from Cen tral Point six to four but sho won on errors. Not an earned run In the game. Now, don't rucks nt tho rest and think It was a hum gnmo -It wns and It wasn't'. Technically It was rotten, bu from a point of fanning Interest It was good fun throughout. Old Ike Butler, veteran and atar, Is enough tt hold a crowd any 'day. Central Point chased tho first run around but couldn't hold tho lead. The teams need practice for when tho ball got Into play It meant runs.
