WHITK. OUTSIDE CLOCK IS ELIMINATED Architect Finally Concedes anil tile Changes Take l'lace Which Cut Down Expenses May He Finished April 1. Eliminating the large outside clock and opposing the architect by a firm stand on the location of the ornamental name plate over the main entrance, the local school hoard to day asserted their authority, in re gard to changes In the plans o the high, school building, the structure being now at the stage of practically one-half completed. 1 Manson White, the architect, 'ir- rived from Portland yesterday ami was at the building early this morn lug. when he sought to thwart the changes proposed by the local board. It was the view of the architect that the original plans were to he follow-1 ed and consequently he was consider-1 ably pleased to learn that on account; of a reconsideration ot the expense, the board had decided to leave out I the clock. The members had recent-! ly come to the conclusion that the, timepiece was principally a luxury t and that Its cost, amounting to about. $ii00, could be expended to more ad- vantage otherwise. On account if this interference with the plans. It is said Mr. White threatened td stop work on the building. It was at this juncture, however, that the board in formed the architect who had au thority In the construction and who had the power to determine the speci fications of the building ns well as the continuance of the work. After a consultation between the architect and vurious members of the hoard, the matter was finally adjusted and the clonk Idea will be abandoned,! while the "High School" name plate will be placed some distance higher on the fire wall to take the formerly left, for the timepiece. - In an Interview this morning Mr. White stated that the building wM be completed not earlier than' April 1. "The roof will bo on the struct ure in two weeks," said Mr. White, while the brick work will be fin ished In a Tew days." The fire wall is to extend about seven feet above the second story windows and this will enclose a roof that will he about Tour feet above the ceiling, which is now being placed. Twenty-one car penters are now being employed on the roof work and every attempt is being made to complete this part ot the building before the rains. "If the work had gone on in this fashion since the beginning." said the archi tect, "the building would probably have been completed as required by the contract." In the building ot the roof (hero will be three vent houses construct ed, where there will be continually revolving electric fans. These will 'draw the air out of the building and afford the system of circulation. The passages for air currents are being made in the partitions. It Is be lle'ed there will be no more com plete system ot circulation in the slate. , Mr. White slated today that all tho matters had been adjusted with the board and that work would he continued with satisfaotlon to all parties. He will return to Portland tomorrow. RELATIVE OF ROSEBURG MAN WELL PAID FOR L. T. Thompson, a well 4 known resident of Roseburg, J last Saturday received a news- j" paper from Cottonwood.

LANE COUNTY WAS REPRESENTED As a Result of the Meeting a New Road Will lie lltlilt Between Camas Valley and the Coos County Line. County Judge R. W. Marsters re turned here Sundny from Salem where h appeared before the State Highway Commission and opposed the diversion or $5,000, previously appropriated to Douglas County for making a survey of the road between Camas Valley and tho Coos County line, to a fund to be used in making a similar survey for a highway be tween Eugene and coast points. Al though no definite action was taken Judge Marsters Is or the .pinion ... the request of the Lane C ounty road , nv liih niuLc hie iuy vuiii iiiinaiui,, . eninusiasis win oe ueuieu. in arguing against tne iransier oi the funds appropriated to DouglaB County to Lane County, Judge Marsters contended that a survey from Camus Valley to the Coos Coun ty line was made several years ago, and that practically all of the rights of way had been Becured. Because of this fact he said it was no more than fair that the money appro priated by the state for survey work should be used in actual construc tion of the highway. The road which Lane County pro proposes to build would extend to the Umpuuu River near Reedsport and thence to .Vlarshfield. Marshfleld and Eugene are now connected by railroad, and for that reason Judge Marsters contended that the state should aid in the construction of a permanent highway between Rose burg and the coast. The members of the State Highway Commission and the Advisory Board will meet within a few days, when definite action will be taken. It Is Judge Marsters' opinion that the re quest of the Lane County people will be denied and the money already ap propriated to Douglas County will he used In building a highway between Camas Valley and Coos County.
