11 SETTLE DISPUTE
John Hunter Asks Authority to
Lay Undersize Brick
BOARD MEETING THIS EVENING
Bricklayers Are Expected to Arrive tlrre To
morrow From Eugene to Begin Work
Three Carloads of Brick Here
Whether or not work will be con
tinued by John Hunter on ltose
burg'B new high school building will
urububly be nettled definitely at a
meeting or the IochI school board to
be held tonight, according to It. L.
Stephens, a member of the board.
Fearing that -Mr. Hunter would
abandon work on the structure in
accordance with threats made by hi:n
last Saturday, Mr. Stephens visited
the contractor yesterday and they
passed most of the day reviewing
t ho controversy. .Mr. Stephens
stated this morning that It was his
opinion that some action would he
taken by lite school board tonight
whereby the work of brick laying
could begin within the next few
days.
The troubles involving Mr. Hun
ter, members of the school board
and other? Interested in the building
reached a climax about two weeks
ago when three carloads of brick
were received from the manufactur
ers at Kugene. The brick were found
to be undersi.e and were readily re
jected by Mr. Hunter. Since that'
time work on the building has pro
gressed very slowly, and only re
cently ofticial notice was served on
Mr. ilunter and his bondsmen call
ing attention to the clauBo in the
contract which provides that the
contractor must pay to the schoul
district the sum of $20 per day, be
ginning December l.", and continu
ing until the structure is completed.
Following yesterday's conference,
Mr. Hunter informed Mr. Stephens
that he had decided to continue work
en the building and would lay the
under size brick in the event he was
authorized to do so by the school
board. The brick at hand are said
to be about a quarter of an Inch
smaller than the sample furnished
by the manufacturers at the time
they were ordered. To handle the
tinder size brick a wider joint will
be necessary. it is expected that
the manufacturers of the brick will
take care of the additional expense
Incurred as a result of their negli
gence. To lay the undersize brick
more mortar will be needed and sev
eral thousand adidtlonal brick will
have to bo ordered. The expense of
oral thousand additional brick will
also be materially more than brick
similar to the sample furnished the
manufacturers by the architect.
Mr. Ilunter this morning tele
phoned his bricklayers to come to
Kosoburg, and it is expected that a
settlement ef the controversy will lie
effected at tonight's meeting or the
board. In the event Mr. Hunter Is
authorized to proceed and lay the
brick on band the work may begin
tomorrow. It will require about six
weeks to finish the bricklaying, ac
cording to members of the school
board. In laying the undersize brick
the members of the school board
claim there will be no particular dlf
rercnee in the appearance ot the
structure fallowing its completion.

SUDDEN DEATH SUNDAY
Mrs. Y E. Attorbury, who
has
been a resident here for the past
several weeks, left yesterday for

expected. Mrs. Atterburv was deeply erioved

TAX ROLLS SWELLED
New Timber Lands Increase As
sets of Douglas Co.
VALUATIONS NOW COMPLETE
.he Board of Equalization Met Here Tlis
Morning to Consider All Complaints
filed Against Valuations
County Assessor Frank L. Calkins,
announced this morning that thc(
valuations oi mo assessame property ; urot!iera Cill) buid the roa(, ami
in Douglas County, exclusive of the; p,,,,, it. lor operation without spend
public utilities, which are furnished ; Jng severnl thousand dollars in ex
by the State Tax Commission, totals C(.ss of tnat authorized through the
$23.320,:iii0.
aoo ur.rt
This is an increase of approximate-1
ly $ 1 W0.7UU, when compared with j
the valuations of the previous year. I
The increase in the valuations this
year is due, according to the county
assessor, to the receipt of new tim
ber lands from the Itoseburg United
States land office and improvements.
No change was made in the valua
tions of property on the tax rolls
last year.
The valuations furnished by the
State Tax Commission include the
railroads, telephones, telegraph and
other public utilities, and will swell
the total assessments in this county
materially. The latter valuations
will probably not be received here
until some time in December, ac
cording to the assessor.
County Assessor Calkins has de
cided not to place the Oregon &
California Railroad grant lands on
the tax rolls this year, and as a re
sult the county will save several
thousand dollars in state taxes. In
the event these lands were included
on the tax rolls the co-jnty would
necessarily have to remit its propor
tion of the state taxes. Mr. Calkins
is supported in omitting these lamb
from the tax rolls by the attorney
Keneral, who in a recent opinion
held that the lands belonged to the
I'nited States Government and were
not assessable.
Mr. Calkins stated this mornin:;
that the total valuations may be
changed slightly by the board of
equalization, which is now in ses
sion at the courthouse. It is the
duty of this board to accept and con
sider all complaints against valua
tions filed with them during the
next ten days. Inasmuch as the
aluations of last year have not
been changed, it is not believed many
complaints will be received by the
board during its present session.

In explaining Kendall Profilers'
failure to submit a bid for the con-
struction of the railroad, C. L. Selec-i
man stated this afternoon that his
employers only recently acquired up-:
proximately 17.000 acres of fine
timber lands in West Virginia and
they have already made plans to mill
Gieir product there. F. M. Yon
Planta, formerly of Itoseburg, is now
in West Virginia superintending the
construction of a railroad over
which the timber can be hauled to
market. It will be several years,
according to -Mr. Selecman, before
the timber on this tract can be milled
and marketed.
Although one or two other firms
asked for the plans and specifica
tions of the proposed Itoseburg &
Kastern Kailroad, no word had been
received from them at a late hour
this afternoon. Ilecause of the
heavy expense attached to the pre
liminary proceedings, it is not be
lieved Mayor Hieo nor the members
of the council will authorize the re-
advertising for bids for construction!

annual conference of tho church.
According to Kev. Cleaves, the
matter of erecting tho new church
here was given careful consideration
by the conference and it was decided
to proceed with the work at the ear

the prospective union of tho Metho

church was first advocated by lfov.
Cleaves, and it Is to bo regretted

SEARCH WARRANT WAS ISSUED
Mrs. Mdbel Monroe Emphatically Denied that
She Took the Ring of Mrs. Lthmann:
Was Valued al $300
Claiming that her purse wns
robbed of a diamond ring valued at
approximately $;iuu, Miss Lou Leh
man, who conducts a routing house
near the telephone exchange build
ing of Stephens street, last Saturday
night reported her loss to the offi
cers.
Acting upon some confidential ad
vice furnished by Miss Lehman and
other persons, the officers visited
the local Justice court where they
secured a search warrant. With
this document nt hand, Sheriff Geo.
Quliio ami Deputy Sheriff Haffety
went to the Lehman rooming house,
where they took Mrs. Mabel Monroe
into custody. Mrs. Monroe was for
merly postmistress at Tiller, but
came here about a week ago to re
main permanently. She has occupied
a room in Miss Lehman's home. Af
ter being questioned briefly, Mrs.
Monroe was turned over to Mru. 10.
A. Shuey, ocunly juvenile officer,
and subjected to a thorough search.
Th'e ring was not found on her per
son and she was later dismissed from
custody. ln her room the officers
claimed to have located a suitcase,
however, which was Identified na be
longing to Harry Hanfield, who
operates a mine in tho vicinity of
Tiller. This ,Hultent Mr. Uantleld
claimed, was missed from hla homo
several weeks ago.
Upon being questioned by tho offi
cers, Mrs, Monroe denied emphati
cally that she took the ring belong
ing to Miss Lehman. She admitted,
however, that she had been In Miss
Lehman's room during the latter
absence and could have taken tho
ring had she so desired. Mrs. Mon
roe was quite indignant because of
the activity on tho part of the offi
cers and promised them that some
one would suffer from the humilia
tion and suspicion cast upon her.
In relating her story to the offi
cers. Miss Lehman said she first
missed the ring Friday. Thinking
that she might have mislaid It, she
conducted a thorough search of her
home and delayed reporting the mat
ter to the officers until Saturday. It
was then that a search warrant was
issued and M rs. Monroe was turned
over to the county juvenile officer.
Ring Was Recovered.
Karly Sunday morning Sheriff
George Qulne received a telephone
message from M Iss Lehman to the
effect that she had round her ring in
a tray on a bureau In her room.
Neither .Miss Lehman nor the offi
cers can give an explanation of how
Ihe ring got there. When the search
was conduct ed earlier In" t he even
ing the tray was empty and Ihe ring
was not in sight. Deputy HhcrifY
Ralfety says he l. positive of this
for I he reason that he personally
peered Into (he tray and admired its
beauty In the presence of Miss Leh

The officers are of the opinion that
the rin was placed In the tray after
they had completed their search.
