In fixing the annual tax levy for the year 1909. they provided 2.9 mills for road building purposes, which will provide the splendid sum of $69,276.65 for road building pur poses during the present year. In addition to this the special road taxes levied by the several districts of the county will bring the itotal funds to be expended for road purposes in this county to nearly $107,000, In fixing the tax levy for the coming crease of but one mill over the total i levy for last'year, yet the last year's i levy included only one mill for road purposes, as against 2.9 mills this j Counted oy a rHttfeenoTer mooo ! This year it will bo about three times as much. For general county purposes last year's tax was over $88,000. This year It will be about. $6,000 less. No deficiency will accrue on this account, however, as three general elections were held last i year, the expense of which was about $1800 each. The county debt was less than $25,000 on April 1, 1908, and the present levy will still mater ially reduce that figure, and yet pro vide a magnificent sum for road building purposes. With over $100,000 thus provided for road building purposes in a sin gle-year, the county court has given Douglas county the blggeat boost and the greatest prestige In its history. A complete outfit of modern road building machinery is to be pur chased at an eary date and placed in the hands of competent men for op eration during the entire season. The court will co-operate with the sev eral road districts of the county in building good'' roads. As has for a long time been advocated by The Re view, the cotrrt realizes that the way to get good roads is ito build them, and they are going about it in a thorough business-like way to do it, and still are not imposing any over hpimine tax burden on the people Neither are any other of the moer- ial interests of the county being over looked or neglected. SINCE 1877 SOUTHERN OREGON -if l lim J I I IV I I S. A. Kendall Mates Important Announcement TO BE ERECTED TD1S YEAR Two - Thirds o Mile Below Present Ooe -Nut Ready Yet For Sawmill or Logging Railroad For the three-fold purpose or economizing in operation, improving the service and opening a site for a huge sawmill, Kendall Bros., ownerB of the Roseburg water and light sys tems, have derided to build a second power plant at Winchester. This im portant Information was given out here today by 8. A. Kendall, who ar rived In the city from Los Angeles, Calif., last Thursday afternoon. The plant Is to be built and put in oper ation this year. It will be located on the opposite side of the river from the present station nnd about two- thirds of a mile dowirthe river. The establishment of the new plant will not cause the discontinuance of the present one. It will simply re sult In the old station being used at a pumping plant, while the new one will supply the light and power sys tems. None of the present electric lighting machinery is to be remover from the present plant, however. It will be kept constantly ready for use In case of a breakdown at the new one. In discussing the projected chnngc. Mr. Kendall stated to a Review re porter today that it would result lr a saving of expense In fuel. When th river Is high, the back water in iterferos materially with the wheels, necessitating the generation of elec tricity by steam, wheh menns a large outlay of mony for fuel.. The dam nit . the station .gives a fall equivalent only to its height, which is 8 feet, while at the new site below thero will be a foil of between 20 and 25 feet, precluding the posslhll Ity back water on the wheels, and enabling the generation of electric ity by water alone during the heav lest freshets. The new plant wit have, a capacity of about 20,000 lights, whereas the one now in use has but half that much. At the site of the proposed new plant there Is a natural depression of 22 acres, whleh will be converted into a lake for storing logs. Water will be turned Into this by moans of a natural channel extending from the dam, and when the proper time comes abutting land will be prepared for the erection of the big sawmill which Kendall Bros, have planned for the future. Mr. Kendall cannot say at this time when the sawmill will he built. He said the first object of his company was to give Roseburg and the surrounding country a first class and adequate water and light service. These things he regards at--equally as necessary to the growth and development of a town as maim facturfng plants. Regarding tho report prevalent for several months past that his com pany was planning to build a log I glng railroad . from their big timber holdings on the North Umpqua to either Winchester or Roseburg. Mi- Kendall Btnted that such a thing wo a "remote possibility," although he admitted that the river was not al together suitable for booming tlm her. especially the heavier pine logs. Inasmuch, however, as no definite plans have been made for their saw mill, Kendall Bros, do not content plate, at lenst at this time, the build log of- a logging railroad. Thel present sawmill at Winchester, built before they purchased 'he premises will not go out at use when the now one Is built. When Kendall Tiros. at'. clde to convert their timber Into him ber they will have a mill commennur ate In size with the immense butd ness undertaking which such hold In kh demand. Mr. Kendall, In the course of hi: remarks, stated that his company ha received several applications for wa ter In the Edenbnwer district, and that a new pipe line, with ni'cessary laterals, would be laid Into that re glon, probably this year. His com pany contemplates, however, the sup ply of water for more (ban mere! household purposes. They forsee general demand In that locality the near future for water for Irrlga tton, and the new pipe line will he laid with the expectation of meetlni siH-h needs. This projert, togethe with the erection and equipment o the proposed new power station, will require an expenditure of nearly $50,000. 8w Tbi Oylmplr Athletic Mee Txtmlnn, Knglnml.

Life Sentence- Served In 15 Years for Killing Charles KuiuIIk in thu Ijoon Lake Region. SALEM, Or., Jan. 8. As provided by the law of this state, that life termers should be granted a pardon fter serving 15 years, Cal. Judy, sent up from Douglas county, Dec. 15, 1893, was pardoned by Governor Chamberlain yesterday. Judy has been a model prisoner during his term and was highly commended by Warden James. Judy shot and killed Chas. Kundlg, J neighboring homesteader, In the Loon Lake country, near Scottsburg. The -trouble between the two men grew out of the frequency with Inch Judys cattle grazed on Kun- dlg'8 premises. The men first had a fist fight. Judy was arrested, brought before the justice of the peace at Scottsburg and fined, In default of the flue, he was brought to Roseburg and locked up in the county Jail. Ow ing, however, to the Tact that the Justice of the peace had included the costs of the case In the amount of the fine, Judy obtained a rolease on habeas corpus proceedings, which ere conducted by Attorney LaKny- etto Lane, now deceased. Judy then return to his Loon Lnke home, and a few days later the tragedy occurred. The shooting took place on Kun- dlg's premises, whither Judy had iono to get his straying cattle. On the witness stand Judy swore that Kuudlg camo out of his cabin bran- llshlng his rifle and when within a few paces of him fired. Judy then, according to his own story, fired his wn rllle, killing Kundlg Instantly. This story was supported In a way by the finding of Kundlg s rifle beside his body, with an empty shell in the breech. Settlers who made an in I nation of the premises, however, ound tracks leading to a woodpile on an elevated piece of ground nnd up- n probing the fntal wound in Kun- ig s body discovered that the Bullet, fter entering, had ploughed down ward. This evidence, tending to show- hat Judy had deliberately slnin Kundlg from concealment behind the woodpile, caused his conviction, al though had the case been appealed to the supreme court the onlfct would In nil probability have been set islde. It was generally conceded that the presiding judge erred In allow lug the admission of the testimony concerning the bullet wound because It was not given by a physician. At least, such was tho opinion openly ex- oressed by a present memlror-of the Oregon Supreme court, who, at that time, wos an Instructor In tho law department at Willamette University Judy wns prosecuted by District Mtorney Seymour Condon, assisted by the present district atotrney, (Jeo, M. Brown, who was retained at the xpense of the Loon Lako settlers LaFayetto Lane conducted the de fense. Since Judy's imprisonment, his wife obtained a divorce, homo- teaded the Loon Lako claim and Is now married to a man named Wll- holt.
