While but five or six men are at

cording to one of the officials in the
employ of the company today, ihe
number will be Increased to probably
I Oil by Oc tober 1.
Owing to the difficulties and the
probable litigation over the control
of the management of the company,
the force during the past few weeks
has been greatly decreased. At a
meeting of tile directors on Septem
ber 1!0, however, it is expected that
action will be taken that will result
In the plant again being operated at
full capacity.
According to the officials at the
local quarries, tho rock from there
Is needed in case the plant at Os
wego is to be operated at anything
like capacity, at the rate of about
L'.in Ions per day. This rock, it is
said, is the basic element in the
manufacture of the finished material.

The boys were suspected of tho

to the oflicers. and evidence was
readily obtained which made is prac"-

J. F. Luse, president of the J. F.
Luse Land Company, of Sutlierllu'.
ex-president of the Luse Land &
Development Company, of St. Paul,
Minn., and one of the best known
and most highly esteemed residents
of Southern Oregon, died suddenly
from apoplexy while enroute from
his home to the Southern Paci.le
depot shortly before midnight Sat-i
urclay. The funeral will be held:
at Sutherlin Wednesday afternoon at
I o'clock, Interment ot the body fol
lowing in Portland. The remains
will be taken to Portland on train
No. H, and will be accompanied by i
Mrs. Luse, F. B. Wnile and other,
prominent citizens of this county. i
At the time Mr. Luse was stricken 1
witli the fatal malady he was on bis'
way to board a train for Seattle,
where in company with Puul II.
Walters, of drains Pass, he intended :
to sell some mining property situ-1
ated in the Bohemia district and in-,
voicing a cash consideration ot morel
than t2.in.nni). From the position1
in which Ihe body lay when found by
It. M. Fox, Sutherlin representative
of the Roach Timber Company, and
the night clerk of the Sutherlin Ho-,
tel. it was apparent that Mr. Luse,
had crossed the street after partak-1
ing or a drink of water from a pub- Met Bfeno, an Inmate of the Insane llos-
lic fountain and was lnieiiuing 10,
enter his office in quest of some:
papers which he desired to take
with hi 111 to Seattle. He had reached
a point near the door of his office,:
which is located in the hotel build-:
ing. when he was stricken with the
fatal malady and fell to the side-'
walk. Mr. Fox. who occupies a room
on the second floor ot the hotel ami
almost directly above where Mr.
Luse fell, heard the body as it struck
tiie pavement and a few subsequent '
groans. Hastening down stairs ho
ran to the Southern Pacific depot I
and notified the clerk of the hotel
that a man was lying In front of the
hostlery. Cpon returning to the
scene they were shocked to find that
Mr. Luse was dead. In one hand he
still clutched Ihe key to his office,
while in Ihe other hand he held a
lighted cigar.
Within a Tow minutes nfler the
body was found a physician was on
the scene and an examination of the
remains followed. There were no
wounds of the head to Indicate that
Mr. Luse was killed by the fall, and
his sudden and unexpected death
was attributed to apoplexy. The
body was later carried into tho office
of the Luse Land Company, where
it remained until t oroner .leweit
arrived there from Roseburg. He
pronounced an inquest unnecessary
and ordered the body turned over
to the bereaved wife.
Mr.-Luse was born In Johnson
County, Iowa, in the year istll. In
the year ls'i:! be engaged In buying
and selling Canadian wheat lands
and for years was employed as land
salesman for the Canadian Pacific .
Railroad. Tile Luse Land and De
velopment Company was organized
in St. Paul in moil, nnd tho com-'
pnny Is estimated to have sold more
than 1,0011,000 acres of farm lands
In the provinces of Saskatchewan
.111.1 Alberta.
Coming west In the year 190(1,
Mr. Luse located in Sutherlin, where
he bought approximately S I acres
of land, ruder the direction of Mr.
who was president and acme
Homager for the corporation, tne
l ose Land Company spent a large
fortune in the development of that
vicinity. Hundreds or acres of Un
bind were set lo various fruits, irri
gation ditches were established,
many new and substantial buildings
were erected, and oilier equally as

Had Mr. Lose lived for another ten
years he would no doubt have had
the satisfaction of referring to Suth

Coast.

A coincidence, the nature of which
probably was never equalled in tho
iiistory of Douglas County or South
ern Oregon, stands out prominently
in connection with the sudden nnd
unexpected deaths of Paul II. Wal
ters, who dropped dead near Orants
Pass at I o'clock Friday afternoon.
and .1. F. Luse. of Sutherlin. wh.1'1
expired suddenly on Hie street of
tho latter city Saturday night.
Mr. Luse and Mr. Wallers owned
the controlling Interest In n mining
property in tho Bohemia district,
and both men intended leaving for
Seattle on train No. 10 Saturday
night. There tliey expected to close
negotiations for Ihe sale of the prop
erty at a figure exceeding $2,1(1, Dun.
Friday afternoon Mr. Wallers start
ed out from lirants Pass lo inspect
what Is known as the Potter miivj.
He had gone but a short distance
when he fell 011 Ihe trail and ex
pired. Sal unlay night Mr. Luse
stalled from his homo to board the
train lor Seattle, when he was af
flicted with apoplexy and expired on
the street near his office. Their
deaths occurred only :l(l hours apart.
While the friends of Mr. Lose have
been unable to determine the cause
or his death, they believe he was de
pressed, following the receipt of a
telegram staling that Mr. Walters
had expired. It was generally known
in Sutherlin that Mr. Walters was
an expert mining man, and was
practically in charge of conducting
Hie transfer of the properly to the
Seattle svndicatc. Mr. Walters was
prominent throughout tiie stale and
was known personally to W. C.
Harding and a number of other men
of Oils city.

Is practically no difrerence In at
tendance from tlio report of the
opening day In September, 191.1. Tho
students were observing of the usual
rules and there was little agitation,
although ati underground feeling
was noticeable, being caused by the
displeasure of the student body gen
erally over the attitude of tho school
board In Ihe changes brought about
in the Instructors. When City Supt.
Hamlin Introduced Pror. II. O. Ben
nett as the principal In place ot Prof.
F. ('. Fitzpatrlck, who resigned n
lew days ago, hisses wero heard In
Hie rear or the room which were not
traceable to tho responsible Individ
uals liecause of the general partici
pation of those In that section. This,
however, did not disturb the pro
gram, and the notion of the students
was totally ignored. A further In
stance of iho altitude of the student
body was seen when not a sign of
uppiaiise was accorded the superin
tendent at Ihe conclusion of his re
marks, allhongli this is Hie estab
lished custom that never before has
been overlooked.
Pror. Bennett explained the out
line of Ihe work for tho first souies
ler and designated the subjects to
be handled by Hie various teachers.
Iti-glstralion was also taken and ad
journment was then bad until Tues

the four public schools and the high
school which was reported to Supt.
1 1 :. n, I in at noon, was HSU. At the end
of the Hi st week lust year the num
ber was 1001. it is Hie belief of the
