INDUSTRIAL NOTES. A two-acre cherry orchard in Lane ounty yielded nineteen tons of fruit this season. At the low price of ?ents per pound the cannery price the little plot of ground returned a neat sum to its owner. The larg est tree produced (J7."f pounds of fruit. Another good argument In favor of more small farms. It Is estimated that fully a dozen carloads of honey will be shipped out of North Yakima. Wash., before The end of the present season, and the bee Industry up there is hut In Its Infancy. One apiarist alone has 300 hives which will yield a surplus of fifty pounds of comb honey, his bee farm being surrounded by alfalfa fields. Besides this a Considerable amount of honey it; used In the local market. One of thp saw mills nt Tacorna cut a log the other day which turned out 10. HMO feet of lumber.

Howlaml liaises Vital Point in School Law Court Orders, Alter making a Large batch of or ders, County Court adjourned Satur day to meet again on Monday, Au gust 3, ut which time the court wili take some definite action on the pe tition ot Edwin Weaver and others for the establishment of a new school district adjoining the southern boun dary of the town of Myrtle Creek. During the hearing of the case on Saturday, B. J. Howland, represent ing the remoustraiors, raised a point of law that if sustained will affect every school boundary uctlou taken by the county courts since 190:j, not only in this county but logically In every other county of the state as well. According to Mr. llowlands argu ment, the county school boundary board, consisting of the county court and county school superintendent, haven't had the slightest vestige of authority under the law since 1903, when the legislature repealed the law of 1901, prescribing the duties of the board, which was created by an act of the legislature of 1899. In an effort to rectify this mistake, the legislature of 1906 enacted a school district bouudary law, providing that "the duties of the boundary board shall be as hereinafter specified." Hut the law fails to "specify", hence Mr. Howland contends that by reason of this omission the board Is abso lutely powerless. This argument put the county court In a quandary. They passed the matter up to Distlrct Attorney lirown, who has promised to render an opinion next Monday.

Portland Oregonian, July 26: By the testimony of August Schlociuun, ex-postmaster and ex-merchant at Oak Creek, Douglas county, the gov ernment yesterday in the Hooth-Slu-gleton conspiracy case begun the introduction of evidence by which it expects to prove that 1. Thomas Agec unlawfully acquired title to his homestead in the Cascade Forest Re serve. Schloeman testified positively that from 1894 to 1898 A nee had an established residence ut Oak Creek and corroborated his testimony with an account book, showing that Agee was a regular customer at the store from March , 1S9., to September 3, 1898. The witness further declared that as a member of the lection board at Oak Creek, he remembered dis tinctly that Agee voted in that pre cinct at the general election In June, 1896. After listening for two days to the tiresome examination of Agee, It was refreshing to follow the testimony of Schloemau, who was positive in his assertions and accurate as to the dates about whieji he testified. The witness testified that he was engaged n the general merchandise business it Oak Creek from 1893 until 1904. ilso serving as postmaster at differ ent times during that period. Ho wore that Agee resided in the vlcin- ty of Oak Creek continuously from 1894 to 189$, but admitted that he lid not consider Agee of such "all Ired importance that his goings and omings were of any great concern," iiid for that reason Agee might have 'jeen awny at different Intervals for two or three weeks at a time. Italliir Kelly Relieved, John Kelly, bailiff In the United States court, yesterday was relieved rom further attendance on the jury in the Booth-Singleton conspiracy trial. He was succeeded by Joseph Hoeye. Representatives of the gov ernment declined to discuss the tem porary removal of the veteran bailiff or to assign any cause for the action A-hlch was recommended, It Is said, by United States Marshal Reld. .Mr. Kelly has for years been the trust -d bailiff to the Federal court and thai he should be superceded at this t rio is believed to be due to the fact iwit iio is distantly related to George il. ind John Kelly. members of ihe Itooth-Kelly Lumber Company. v RECORD FOR WIRELESS.

Repre sentatives from different parts of the stale will be present to discuss mat ters of any kind which may come up and which bear upon the Interests of the southern part of this state and Idaho. The most Important matter to be discussed Is that of securing n niil outlet of some kind for Coos Bay. A delegation has been named to wait upon K. M. Ilarriman and Invite him I to visit Coos Bay and also to hurry work on the Drain-Coos Bay exten sion of the Southern Pacific. But tho people are anxious to have a road of some kind out of Coos Bay and there Is a revival of the talk of building an electric line from Marsh- field lo Roseburg. Quarter Million Subscribed. This matter was up about a year. ago, but the plans were never pushed through. At that time the Douglas county people subscribed $250,000 for stock In such a company. The people of Roseburg nnd Douglas county are ns anxious ns ever to have the road, believing that It would he n great thing for their part of Ihe country, giving a rail nutlet to th" sea. It Is likely that there will he mi trouKe i:i rclsing stock sub scrlM'i.tUH at that, rnri of the line. The Cmos Ma1' v n go n road from Coos Hay to ItoF 'hurg Is a rough one -Mid goes ov-r a mountain past. hut It Is suggested that by selecting a route from Ros'bnrg through Ihe Camus Valley and to My rile Point and then to Coqulllo and Marshfield no verv great feats of engineering would be required to build nn elec tric lino. Such n road would extend past many farms In Douglas county and also through the rich Coqiillle valley, Hip finest farming country of Coos county. Quick Rail Route to Sea. Those who are pushing Ihe plan claim Hint an electric road through this territory would he a paying In vestmoul as well as being a great boon to both Coos Bay and Roseburg and surrounding country. It would give n quick passenger rail route In to Cook Bay and would also do away wllb the slow mat I service now nec esarlly suffered by the Coos Bay people. At both ends of the proponed line the electric railway talk Is stronger ilinn ever, nnd It Is likely that this matter will be taken up at the con vention as one of the most Import nnt topics.
