The court did not introduce a re
uort which Coiiniy Ktigineer tler-
mond bad prepared dealing with lb
present condition of Ihi' Lane strec
bridge, which public opinion gencral-
Iv lias ulreadv condemned. It Is nn

formal ion as to its language is oh
talnable today, hut It is strongly in
ti inn ted that the condition of tin
bridge is not approved.
Ignore Private Interests, I rges Sena
tor t llllO'.
In hen inc. ihe. debate on the sub
led. Attorney Cosbow explained the
nreselit location of tile bridge at Lane
street, lie said the County Court of
::o years ago wulited to place the
liriil'ee at Oak street, considering it
i the Inuirul place, but the threat of
nn in iiiiii-t ion suit from a ferry oper
ator there mid the desire to avoid the
delay of a lawsuit, coupled witn a
free lifter of laud from Itev. .1. It. N
Hell, caused the bridge to be con
sirniled at Lane street. If It was
considered advisable to build til'
river bridge al Oak street :!0 years
ago. Coshow said, it was far more
desirable to build it there today be
cause of the gn at increase in pupula-
new bridge should be built with
speclnl reference to that one particu
lar place of business. Hut when you
build bridges, gentlemen of the court,
you are not to represent private busi
ness interests: you should consider
the wishes of the whole people from
the standpoint of general public ac
comodation. If you doubt the law
on thlB question give ua an opportun
ity to Bettle the matter before the
proper tribunal.
Watson Ituiw-s Iegal Point.
In opening for the remonatratora,
Attorney Watson attacked Coshow's
suggestion, that the matter be
threshed out In a trial court, declar
ing that Coshow was trying to use
the County Court as a cat'a paw In
order to get a chnnce to try out hla
legal theories" ut the expense of his
clientele. Watson contended that it
was not a question a to where the
new bridge would be built, but a
question as to whether the court had
a legal right to bflild a bridge any
where except at Lane street.
Watson cited the act of tne Ore
gon Legislature In 1905, enabling the
ctly to extend her boundaries, In
which law it was provided that the
County Court should nmjntaln "the"
bridge across the river (not specify
ing any particular location), but
giving exclusive Jurisdiction of abut
ting "roads" to the city of Roseburg
streets." Watson inierprcieu
it. i., nu tnuiitiitiir that the County
Court was compelled to maintain the
Lane street bridge and that It reBiea
exclusively with the City of lloseburg
to say whether a new bridge should
he built nt Oak street.
"Mr. Cosbow doeBii t want tne
I vol of population to revolve on the
Viklns building." ald Watson.
Where does .lie want It? On the
Douglas National Hank building, the
Provident Trust Company s property
or Itoy Bellows' pony farm?"

Impugned the sincerity of moBt of the
tit loners for the uiik atreei loca

in.lidly admitted that the remon
itratora against the bridge were com

ers, but excused them on the ground
that private capital was Invested on

Still another hearing before the
County Court on the petition (or an
election to Incorporate the city of
Edenbower wag held this afternoon
and after listening to the arguments
of Attorney K. It. Hermann, repre
senting the petitioners for the elec
tion, and (). II. Porter representing
the renionstratorH, the court took the
matter under udvlsemeut and u deci
sion will be rendered ut a date not
set by the court.
Attorney Porter In presenting ob
jections as to why an order should
not be grunted culling for an election
said iu part: "This is only a scheme
of the liquor interests to fill Eden
bower up with saloons und to make It
a place where vice may flourish. This
is evidenced by the fact that the at
torney representing the petitioners is
a stockholder iu the brewery of this
city and has represented them in all
their legal cases." Several person
ulilles were Indulged in during the
argument on both sides,
Attorney Hermann iu presenting
the petition positively denied the al
legations of the unnoslt Ion mid asked
Mr. Porter to show any proofs upon s
which to base his charges. This the
tutter failed lo do. 'Hum Mr. Her
mann said:: "For the sake of argu
ment, If the court was satisfied in
their own minds that this Is only a
scheme to put saloons In Kdenbower,
the court has no option In the matter
but must make the order calling the
election, as the petitioners for this
order have complied with the law in

Secretary McAdoo of Ihe Treasury
Department has found a simple wuy
t.ul of the old dispute over requiring
National bank depositories to pay lu
te -.-st on tiovernmelit deposits. He
will require them lo pay it ut the
rate of 2 per cent, and If any banks
now holding public, money do not
want It at this cost, hu knows of
plenty that do.
These haiikH pay Interest on private
deposits. They pay interest on do
posits from other hanks. There Is no
reason, mid there never has been any
reason, why they should not pay in

Capital without labor It Ineffottlr. .'
Labor without capital Is Idle. Cap.
tal la an Inanimate thing. It rapra- ,
sents the accumulation of tha am- ',,

On the other hand, capital la (ha . '
means by which labor can lira aatll
the products of its efforts caa ha '
reallr.ed upon. Capital, the Inanimate ,'
thing, ran produce nothing exoept hr v
providing opportunity for labor.'
Therefore, capital and labor to be '
effective, must serve each other.
"This leads naturally to aa Im
portant statement, the force of which
Is sometimes overlooked. Aa capital
and Itilior each must serve the Other, '
then each must have voice la da

It is here that we have had trouble
