Koseburg Wins Team Cap for
3rd and Last lime
NOW PERMANENT HOLDERS
Shields Capture? iDdividoal Medal
Also For Third Time Ashland
to Shoot Tomorrow, is
Not Feared -
By the score of G95, the team of
"Co. D., of this city, this afternoon
probably won the competitive rifle
shoot of the Fourth Regiment, Ore
gon National Guard. The score of
the local guardsmen 1b 13 points
higher than that made by the Cottage
Grove team Monday, and which of
itself Is much greater than the score
of any of the other teams which had
shot up to that time. The Ashland
company only Is yet to shoot, but
their marksmen are inferior, and the
Roseburg mllltlameu consider the
regimental trophy, a silver cup, as
good as won.
Equally gratifying Is the fact that
Private Ben P. Shields, of the local
team, has the highest individual
5p score yet made. His total is 1ST,
against 180 the next highest, made
by Private Mooney, of Cottage Grove.
- This victory, assuming that no Ashland-
Militiaman will score higher,
gives Shields the individual medal
permanently, he having won it twice
before, in 190". and 1907. In litl6
the mcial was captured by Sgt. Mor
ris, of Eugene.
This makes the third timo that
Roseburg has won the regimental
cup, so thnt trophy will also Btay
here permanently. The cup was won
by a local team in 1905 and 1906.
The individual totals of the-Roseburg
team in today's shoot are as
follows:
Shields, 187; Ferguson, 172;
Stewart, 169; and Fisher, 167. For
the individual medal there were
three other contestants, who, togeth
er with their scores,, were Sgt. A. Q.
Johnson, 162; Private John Marks,
154, and Private C. Nelson, 140.
Confronted with the difficult task
of beating the splendid score of 682,
the highest yet made in this kind of
a tournament in the Fourth Regi
ment, O. N. G., the team of Co. D.,
of this city, is today engaged in com
petitive rifle shooting on the target
range in Kinney's addition. The lo
cal team is composed of Lieut. F. G.
Stewart, Corp. Alex Ferguson and
Privates B. F. Shields and Chester
Fisher, the first three named having
been members of the state team In
the recent national tournament held
at Port Clinton. Ohio. The score
which the local guardsmen must beat
was made yesterday by the Cottage
Grove team, and the high Individual
score was shot by Private Mooney,
whose total was 180.
The shoot Is under the direction of
Col. Geo. O. Yoran, of Eugene; Lieut.
Geo. E. Houck, ordnance inspector,
of this city, and Major F. S. Baker,
of Portland, Inspector of small arms
practice, each of the eight companies
comprising the regiment shooting on
Its own range. Besides the Cottage
Grove team, there have shot in the
pending contest the two teams in
Eugene and the teams in McMlnn-
vllle, Dallas and Albany, none of
them approaching the record-breaking
Bcore made by Cottage Grove.
Today's shoot of the Roseburg team
will he followed by the wind-up of
the contest at Ashland tomorrow.
It is generally conceded that if
Roseburg does not score higher than
Cottage Grove the latter will win the
regimental trophy, as the Ashland
militia has never produced any extra-
ordinary marksmen. The trophy.
which consists of a silver cup, was
won by a Cottage Grove team last
year, and If the trick is repeated this
year and again next year the cup will
become permanent property. The
personnel of this year's Cottage
Grove team and their respective
scores follow:
Lieut. H. H. Petrie, 170; Sgt. P.
Snod grass, 168; Corp. James Potts,
164; Private A. B. Mooney, 180 a
team average of 170.
Besides the team trophy, there
will be awarded a medal to the mil
itiaman making the highest Individ
ual score, which Is taken either from
the team shoot or from the scores
made by six other members of same
company, who are permitted to enter.
This medal muBt also be won three
times to become the per
manent property of the guardsman.
Each contestant 1b required to Are
two sighting shots and ten record
shots on each of the ranges, which
are 200 yards off hand, slow and
rapid fire, 500 yards slow fire and
600 yards slow Are.
Geo. Shrum came down from
Glide today with Mr. and Mrs. Will
Ingram, of Grants Pass, who are en
route home, after a visit with relat
ives and friends there.. They tell ub
of a remarkable raid made by cou
gars last week on a flock of sheep
owned by L. L. Mathews, near Peel.
Three or more of the varmints en
tered the pasture where 26 head of
sheep were kept, and killed 17 of
them. To all appearance an old
cougar was training her young in
the art of killing, and they almost
wiped out the flock. Ordinarily cou
gars do not kill .more than one or
two sheep from a flock at one time,
satisfy their hunger and go away.
There was no mistake as to the ani
mals which did the killing as num
erous tracks were seen. When the
slaughter was discovered a day or
two later, the scent had grown cold
and dogs could not track the anl-malB.

TmE FDREMOST ORY.GQODS ESTABLISHMENT OF SOUTHERN OREGON
At a Bpeclal meeting of the city
f'ouncll Monday night, an ordinance
regulating the construction of side
walks was given the first of three
necessary readings; City Attorney b
G. Micelll and City Recorder A. II.
Orcutt were authorized to recodify
the city laws; decision was reached
to go ahead with the necessary pro
ceedings toward the flotation of the
street paving bonds; plans from the
city engineer for the re-laying of the
Mill-Pine street sewer were listened
to, and a proposition for the dedica
tion of a street was acceptod.
When the paving bonds matter
came up there was a brief discussion
as to the advisability of trying fur
ther to negotiate the issue in view
of legal Impediments. The proposi
tion of Nuveen & Co., through V. I
Vawter, of Medford, agent, to sub
scribe to the bonds, wns dismissed
from consideration, because the $2,-
000 commission demanded by Mr.
Vawter wns looked upon by the coun
cil as something which Its constitu
ency would not countenance. It wop
decided finally to reject all bids for
the bonds as a matter of formality
and this wns followed by ordering
Coshow & Hice. special attorneys foi
the city, to present the necessary or
dinances, starting procedings anew
at the next regular meeting of th
,-n..nM whl"h will ho Monday night
Nov. 2. The plans advised by Co
show and Fllce some time since and
which will in nil probability be adopt
ed proTide (first) that the council
instead of the people at largo, initi
ate proceedings by declaring a bond
issue nnd (second) that the voters of
the city ratify such action at another
special election.
The necessity of recodifying the
city laws wns pointed out to the
council by Messrs. Micelll nnd Orcutt
both of whom volunteered their ser
vices without pay for thnt work. The
council agreed, however, to defray
the expense of a stenographer to be
employed by the two attorneys nnd
of all stationery and other supplier
purchased for their use. Many of
the laws now on the city statute
hooks have either been revoked oi
altered while a number of others are
awaiting Incorporation therein. The
printing is to be submitted to bids.
Kewcr Kstlmntes.
City Knglneer Hartong submitted
plans and estimates for re-laying the
sewer In the alley between Mill and
Pine street, the faulty establishment
of which has been a source of trou
hie for several years past, once get
ting Into the courts and resulting In
a negative victory for the city. tTp
on examination Hartong, aceordine
to his report, ascertained thnt the
pipe Is laid too shallow at the Spring
street crossing, that from Floed to
Hurke street the grade of the sewer
is above the ground line and from
this fact it would be difficult for con
nectlons to be made from the Mit
street Bide. Hartong recommended
that the sewer be lowered two feet
at Spring street and thnt the grnd
from that point north to the Inter
section of the present sewer grad
between Woodward and Moshu
streets be flattened. The report sayp
further that if It Is desired to ex
tend this sewer south of Hurke strep
the present grade would have to be
lowered about 3 feet at that point
For lowering the grade at Sprln
street, as recommended, and re-lay
ing the sewer, Knglneer llnrton
places the cost at $294.35; for ex
tending the sewer south of Hurk
street his estimate Is $270.80 add
tlonal. No action will be taken by
the counril on this report until th
next regular meeting.

Jackson street. In North Roseburg
where It converges with Wlnehestc
street near the approach to the Ieer
Creek bridge was formally offered to
the city by Councilman Card well,
from whose property th street was

cepted by the counril and the nces
sav deed of dedication will be exe
cuted In a dav or two.

SAL KM, Or., Oct. 27. Antl-pro-
hlbltlonlsts won a great victory In
tho Oregon Supreme Court today.
when the decree of Judge H. K. Han-
, of Jacksonville, enjoining the
county court of Jackson county from
making an order declaring the en
tire county "dry" waa aJUriued. The
order of the county, court was based
on a provision of the local option
law enacting prohibition In an entire
county where the majority of votes
cast was in favor of prohibition, re
gardless of whether any Incorporat
ed town or city within such, county
might have voted agalnat prohibition.
lackson county as a whole voted in
favor of prohibition last June, but
tho City of Medford did not. The
city brought un Injunction suit
against the county court on the
ground that the Medford charter
provided that the city bad the right
to license tho sale of liquor and was,
therefore, not amenable to the local
option law. Judge Hanna decided
that the prohibition order of the
county court was void so far as the
City of Medford was concerned, and
this contention Is upheld by the
Supreme Court on an appeal from
Hauna's decision.
The opinion of the Supremo Court,
which Is written by Justice Moore,
means that any incorporated city In
Oregon may, by a Bpeclal election, -nmend
its charter exempting It from
the operation of local option lawB, so
thnt residents outBlde the town can
not voto it "dry.'

Hurke, in a sLatemtnt wired today to

dent Roosevelt and Vlco-Presldentlal
Candldato Sherman to produce any

Hurke Is the attorney who accused
Sherman of being implicated In the
