Then the lie was passed between Palmer and Davis. The latter first made a speech Intimating that Palm er objected to the antl-saloon bill because he had a bill of his own favorable to the liquor interests.

Popular Rarltonc Sinner at Crescent and Miss Hnzcl Putterson Off for Redding, Calif. Myron C.

Friends and acquaintances of the couple pre tend to see an elopemen, but that they could have gone away for the express purpose of avoldlug Inter ference to their marriage Is positively denied by Miss Patterson's father, F. F. Patterson, the local contractor and planing mill operator. Miss Pat terson Is of legal age and therefore entitled to follow her own wishes In such a matter. It is persistently ru mored, however, that Wlckham'8 per sistent attentions to the young lady (he was constantly In her company) cause a severe jar In the Patterson household. At the time the couple took their departure for the south, Miss Patter son's father was In Portland. Wm. Perman, owner of the Crescent Theatre, was also out of town, hav ing been In Eugene for ten days. Up on his return to Roseburg Saturday evening, Mr. Perman discovered that Wlckham had appropriated the box office receipts of the last four days that he was In charge of the theatre. While Mr. Perman cannot state the exact amount of the money taken, he estimates It at between $70 and $80. weVTbkn treating people square: Wlckham left him a noto saying he would "square matters up In time." but Mr. Perman haB his doubts. He has about decided, however, not to have Wlckham arrested for embezzle- ment. Whether Mr. Patterson will take any action In the matter is not known. Some doubt exists as to whether Wlckham 1b free to marry. He was married In the east, had trouble wttb hie wife, separated and came west. It is not known If he Is divorced. Mr. Perman met him in Eugene last July, paid his fare to Roseburg and employed him as a soloist and ma chine operator at the theatre. It is the picture of Wlckham's little child that Is thrown on the canvass at the theatre every evening under the greeting of "Welcome."

Oregon, Jan. 20. 1909. FRANK. G. MICELLi, Secretary. dtd iMrriR77 Bill Introduced Specifying tbe Requirements. SOLONS TIRE OF DISPUTES 75 Per Cent ot People la Proposed New County and 25 Per Ct. of Old Riqnlred Speclal'to the Evening Review. SALEM, Or., Jan. 24. There was Introduced today the general county division bill that has been In prepar ation for several days by Senators ''rank J. Miner of Lane and Linn and C. J. Smith ot Umatilla. It will have a tendency to discourage the forma tion of new counties, and will make county division a local question, without making It possible to carry such questions before a legislature or before the people by Initiative. County division fights are reputed to bo among the most acrimonious subjects that take up the time of leg islators. The clash In the effort to create Nesmlth county from Lane and Douglas has already generated much heat. It is being hinted thnt some ambitious Job hunters are behind the movement. Lane and Douglas repre sentatives alike declare that It would be the height of Injustice to slice up their counties for the snke of a new one, while admitting that at some time in the future It may be advis able to cut up their counties. When the coast section ot the two counties becomes populous enough, it has been suggested, no serious objection will be made to a new government -there, hut the appropriation of a part of the Willamette valley section Is resented . Provisions of New Hill. The constitution provides that new counties must hnve at least 1200 pop ulatton and not less than 400 square miles of territory. In addition to this, the new bill provides that at least 75 per cent of the new county shall be outside of forest reserves. and that It shall have taxable prop erty or I2,50U,0U0. It provides that 50 per cent of the !eope of nny proosed new coun ty Bhnll petition the county court of the existing county or counties from which the territory is to be taken. When It is determined that 50 ner cent have signed, the county court of each county affected must call an election. At the election 75 ner cent of the peoplo of the proposed now county and 25 per cent of the people remaining in the old county or coun ties must vote in favor of division. If they do so vote, that ends the mat ter, except as to .the adjustment or flnanclnl obligations and other ques tions incident to separation, the baBls for settling all these things being provided In the bill. Peoplo Affected Deride Qucsti "We havo tiled to be fair In drawing .the hill," said Senator Mil ler. "Wo thought It was unjust to anow a county to be formed arbitrar ily from the richest portion. It may he, of another county, without the old county having any voice In the matter. It does not seem unreason able to me that 26 per cent of the people of the old county should be In favor of the division. And it is not right to let new counties be formed by the Initiative, when people vote all over the Btate and cannot under stand local conditions. I think there ought to be some general law under which new counties can he formed, and that the limitations in the bill are for the good of the state." COM. CLI'll OPPOSED TO COUNTY DIVISION. At a speclnl meeting of the Rose burg Comerclal.'Club last Saturday evening strong resolutions were adopted, opposing the Cottage Orove county division scheme. Messrs. Dexter Rice, O. P. Coshow, W. W. Cardwell and J. O. Watson, who went to Satern Sunday, were appointed to represent this Club before tho leg islative committees and set forth the several reasons Douglas county Imb against county division at this time. The reeling In this county Is almost unanimous against division. The Club discussed Btreet paving, also, and will give It special atten tion a little later. The Club rooms are regularly opened for the use of members and guests. lUfMilutlons.

How to Control ('liiifrmi River Only urent Engineering Problem Yet to be Solved. (Rovlew Special Service.) WASHINGTON, D. C Jan. 25. When William H. Tart and his. party of engineers sailed for Panama from Charleston today, tho president-elect took the first step toward the assump tion of a tremendous responsibility that will bear heavily on his should ers throughout his administration aB chief exocutlve of the nation. The coming four yenrs will be tho critical ones In the great project for divid ing a continent and changing the course of the world's commerce. The Panama canal Is likely to be the glory or the shame of the Taft re gime. That Mr. Taft realizes this "grout responsibility is evjdenced by the present trip and his further deter mination to mnke a tour of Inspec tion of the Isthmus each year of his term and to take with him eminent civil engineers who are not connected with the work. There Is some dan ger, he believes, that unles this close supervision Is maintained regarding the physical features of the project that grave mistakes might be made. 1 he problem that will receive the greatest consideration during the present trip relutes to the engineer ing features of the Gatun dam. There has been some expert criticism as to the quality of the foundation which can be found for this structure anil It Is Mr. Taft's Intention to obtain from tho moat reliable sources available as much as may bo known. IIEARDE MAKES "HIT" WITH REDMEN SHOW. Modford Tribune, Jan. 23: Come again. Professor Jack Honrde. Teach the local Hedmen a few moro stunts and Bhow them to tho Modfurd nubile again. It Is a sate bet that a bigger nouse man ever greets them. The taste they got Inst night wns but an appetiser. The boys mado good and whether It was due to the training under Professor 1 1 car do or whether It was their natural talent for the parts does not mutter. The show was clever and In spite of the fact that the scenery which was to set the various acts was held up by the storms and hence detracted from Its plcusuro, still none were present who came away dissatisfied. The local hits were grently enjoy ed by those present and It would bo difficult Indeed to pick out the bright est stars. Tho entire cast was good. It may be that tho boys will put the play on in some of tho olher towns lu the valley. They will be the losers If they don't. 2,M0,000 PROJECT IS . IN KELHEY'S HANDS.
