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. The same
mill has an order from nn eastern
companv for f00.000 poles to roll
rugs on. and tnese are to ne maie

waste lumber in the form of slabs,

It. J. 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when the legislature repealed the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.
To I toad Convention.

sonnel, County Judge Wonncott and

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

tlon of Judge Landis in fining the
Standard Oil Company $29. 210. (MM)
today declared at the Waldorf-Astor
ia that the decision of the Circuit
Court of Appeals was practically
final. Tho Judge then said that
neither the attorney-general nor any
one else had any right to demand a
retrial of the case.
"All that can be done," he said,
"Is to npply to the United States Su
preme Court for permission lo re
open the case. It ennnot lie done
without the court's consent, and, un
der the circumstances, cannot he re
tried. In October Ihe attorney-general
may apply lo the Supreme Court
for a writ of certiorari to reopen
the case before Judge Landis. This
Is all he can do."
Roosevelt Defeated Litigant.
Judge Grosscup merely smiled and
refused to make any comment on
the president's order to At torney

"It is not meet that I should enter
Into a discussion with the president,"
he said. "The court can take care

"President Roosevelt Is quoted as
having ordered an Immediate retrial

TO HURRY DRAIN RAILROAD
Proposition to Build Long Promisd
Line lo Uosebnrg is Being
Agitated Again
MARSHF1ELD, Or., July
2G.-
During the week of the Southern
Oregon District Fair nt Marshfield,
ugust 26 to 29, there will be held
on Coos Bay a Southern Oregou'aud
Southern Idaho convention. 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.
