ROBBERY WAS A FAKE ALARM; LADY MERELY DOUGLAS COUNTY FAIR OPENS IN ROSEBURG WEDNESDAY MORNING the coming year were considered. Upon niotiun of a member of the hoard it was decided to dispense with the manual training depart ment until such time as tho new high school building Is completed. The quarters occupied by tho manual training class last year were very inconvenient, according to tho mem bers of the school hoard, and tho results were not satisfactory. F.lini lnation of this department will be temporary, however, and the work will be resumed as soon as the new school structure Is completed. As a result, of the dismissal of Rev. C. 11. Cleaves, who had charge of the study hall during the past j year, this department will hereafter be under the Jurisdiction of several teachers, each of whom will preside during a certain period of the day. It is not believed that a regular study hall teacher will be employed for the present. City Supt. F. B. Hamlin was au thorized to correspond with K. M. McKee, of Portland, who Is an ap plicant for instructor in the com mercial department. If conditions are satisfactory. Mr. McKee will probably be employed to handle this Important department of the schools. John Kernan, who was formerly In structor In the Rose school, has been transferred to Fdenhower. This transfer was made following n mu tual nirreenient. between Mr. Kernan and tho members of the school board. Miss Helen Hamilton, daughter of Judge and .Mrs. .1. W.

Marsters re I in lied here this morning from Sa-: lem, where he went to consult the; members or the Slate Highway Com mission with reference to securing; an appropriation with which to gravel Hie recently constructed road extending from Glendale to a point near Stage Gulch Pass, on the route of the Pacific Highway. , In an interview this nl'tornoon ( Judge Marsters said the state somi'i time ago appropriated $ I s unn to Douglas County with which to build this particular piece of road. The load was graded, hut on account of a lack of sulfieielit funds it has not been graveled. Because of the diameter of tbe soil In the vicinity where the road was constructed.! Judge Marsters believes it should he (.'raveled at once. Otherwise it will be impassable during the winter months. The new piece of road is about two miles in Imgth, and the rest of graveling j3 estimated at approxi mately ll.'.oo. Judge Marsters says he b,. ilexes the money will be forth coming within the next few days and the work can be completed before the rains set in this fall. Thursday will be known as child ren's dav- at the Douglas County Fair, and all school children will bo i dmilteil to (he grounds free on that dale.

On Wednesday the Riddle team will demonstrate Its ability at canning fruit, while on Thursday the Benson team, of Roseburg. and the Yoncalla school will compete. The i'ullerion school learn will hold Its mutest on Friday. F.ach team is composed of five school children, and their work will no doubt prove very interesting. The general ad mission to the rounds has been re duced to 23 and 1 .' cents. The loss of a purse containing $.'10.' a gold watch and several other be-1 longings brought Deputy Sheriff Rallety and City Officer Grant Wil cox on a hurry call to the Douglas looming house this morning and for several minutes the establishment was thrown Into a state of excite ment over the missing articles. I ! "I took the articles from my room and left them in a room adjoining. ; where I was for a few minutes be ; fore 1 went down to breakfast." ex-, claimed the lady to the officers. "When I came back they were gone." i The owner of the articles was Mrs.' j John Crittenden, of Myrtle Creek, j who was spending a few days in the ; city and stopping at the Sheridan j street, establishment. I The officios proceeded at once to : search the house, but not the slight I e;,i clew was uncovered that would I lead to the hiding place of the valll-' aides. It was then that Mrs. I. A. Dixon, wife of the proprietor, asked the guest If she had looked carefully through tho room she had occupied for tlie night. "1 know they are not in my room." replied Mrs. Crittenden. Neverthe less she went to the bedroom and In a moment the officers heard her ex clamation. "Here they arc!" ami the articles were brought out to view, while all attendants, officers and guests, heaved a sigh of relief. Mrs. Crittenden then appreciated the joke as well as the others, and the offi cers were pot overlooked for their assistance, but a few niinnteH later were smoking good cigars at her cx- With fair weather promised throughout the week. it. is predicted that the annual Douglas County Fair which opens here tomorrow will be one of Ihe most, interesting and en tertaining events ever held In this section of the stale.

Following a somewhat lengthy discussion last night between the memhers of the Ruseburg school board and John Hunter, contractor for the new high school building, the littler gentleman agreed to proceed and lay the so-called under size brick received hero about three weeks ago and later rejected be cause they did not conform with the sample furnished by tho architect at tho time the brick were ordered. Mr. Hunter's offer to lay the brick was contingent, however, upon tho prom ise of the manufacturers of the brick to defray the cost of the additional mortar, which will probably amount to a sum not exceeding (lot). In a slateuient before tho school board last night, Mr. Hunter said he had given the brick proposition careful and deliberuto consideratlo'n and had arrived at tho conclusion that the under size brick could be used without injuring the nppear ance or the building, lie contended, however, that considerable addition al mortar would be needed, nnd that the cost of laying tho smaller brlek would he materially inoro than lay ing brick similar to the sample ac cepted by tho architect at the time the contract for the building wua awarded. In ordor that no delay may be encountered In getting the brick work under way tho members of the school board decided to de termine the difference In the cost of laying the brick on hand and tho brick speciflod in the contract. As soon as these figures are ohtninnhlc the lunnufacturers will lie aHked to ulhoriim a deduction from their bill Rtiffiejent to cover the additional cost of laying the under size brick. In the evenl they agree to this re duction thi work of laying the brick will begin some time this week. Mr. Hunter has nlready awarded the contract for laying tho brick, and It Is expected that this part of the work can be completed within 30 days. Mr. llunler claimed last night that Ihe delays on the school build ing could be traced to the contro versy resulting from tho delivery of under size brick and was not tho. fault of the cnntraclor. The brlek were ordered by Hie architect, ac cording In Mr. Hunter, and upon heliiK received hero did not conform to Hie specifications. Ah a result, Mr. Hunter said, there was nothing else for him lo do but reject tho brick and so Informed Hie school hoard. Had the brick been manu factured according to the specifica tions, Mr. Hunter said, this- part of the work would have been practi cally completed by this lime. The members of Ihe school board feel highly elaled over their success lii settling the recent controversy, and Ihey do not fear any more Double. If given proper anthorlly, Mr. Hunter assured Ihe board, he would rush Ihe structure to a speedy completion and Hint it would ho one of the most imposing buildings of THOMPSON DENIED HE KILLED MRS.
