OTHER PLACES MAKE COMPLAINT
It In ClaimeU That the Soldiers
Home I toad is Purely a Local Aw
net and Cannot be Improve,! by
State Highway Funds
The Tortland Journal laat nifcht
published the following article with
relation to the appropriation made
recently by the State Highway Com
mission lor paving the road trom the
western boundary of Roseburg to the
Soldiers' Home. The appropriatioan
was in the sum of $2ou:
At the next meeting of the State
Highway Commission it is probable
that a former action of the commis
sion in appropriating $2000 to Doug
las County fur a paved road from
Roseburg to the Soldiers' Home and
$auou to Lane County to aid in the
K raveling of a section of the 1'acific
Highway near the Douglas County
line will be reconsidered.
Criticism of the action of the
commission is growing stronger,
coming from different parts of the
state, and in addition it has devel
oped that the action was probably
illegal, especially in the case of the
Soldiers' Home road. .The road is
purely a local one and does not form
a link in the state system laid out
by the Legislature.
Section JO of the law creating the
State Highway Commission reads as
follows: "No part of the slate high
way fund shall be expended upon
other than state highways."
In the case of the Lane County
apropriation it is admitted that
there might not be a violation of the
letter of the law, but it is asserted
that there is a transgression of the
spirit of the six million dollar bond
act. During the campaign fur the
bonds it was generally understood
that those counties not specified
should bear the expense of prepar
ing the road bed to receive the bard
-uiriace.
At the time the appropriations
were made Chairman Henson of the
commission said they were improp
er, but it was overruled by the vote
if Commissioner Adams, who made
the motion, and Thompson.

The ram of V. A. Shefflet vi I.J
M. Oraff has been appealed to the!
circuit court according to papers'
filed with the county clerk here to-'
day by Attorney C. F. Hopkins, who'
appears for the defendant.
Thin action originated neveial
weeks aso. when Mr. Shefflet
brought suit against Mr. tiraff to re
cover possession of certain proerty
located in West Koneburg. It watt
alleged In the conipluitit filed by Mr.
Shefflet that while ho and bis wife
were attending church services. Mr.
Craff visited their home and pitched
their furniture Into the atreet. This
accusation is denied by Mr." Graff,
who claims he took possession of the
property peaceably, and assisted the
plaintiff in putting the furniture un
der a shed in order that it might be
protected from rain and other ele
ments. Mr. (iralf claimed posses
sion of the proerty as the result
of a trade which he consummated
with a resident of this city.
At the time the case was tried
in Justice court. Justice of the Peace

Several of our local people are con
siderably concerned regarding the re
turns on consignments of produce
shipped to Portland about two weeks
ago About that time a man claiming
to represent J. D. Coteinann & Co.,
commission merchants. 185 Third St.,
Portland, appeared here, and by
means of credentials which appeared
to be genuine induced several of our
business men to turn over to him for
shipment to the firm he claimed to
represent a quantity of eggss, veal,
mutton and other products. The ship
ment was made by express and the
man took his departure, leaving noth
ing by way of Identification further
than a cheap looking business card.
As nothing was heard from the alleg
ed commission house after the lapse
of several days, an investigation was
started, but according to the latest
advices no information bearing on the
matter had been received here from
Portland. Sutberlin Sun.

THF. PATH TO VFSTKItDAY
The musty, dusty highway turns
abruptly to the right
Where interwoven branches block
the way;
Almost hidden in the bushes, there's
a path by maples barred.
For it holds the memories of yes
terday. The sunshine cannot brighten it
though all the world he light;
The country people shun It e'en by
"day.
A path can never know the Present,
when It's haunted by the
Past

For each nlfbt 'tis walked br
(boeu of yesterday.
People bear clear laughter, mingled
with the sound of violins;
So strangely do the maple
branches sway!
But they catch the scent of lavender
and know that shadow forms
Are walking along the Path to
Yesterday.
One way to stimulate a jaded appe
tite for any particular article of food.
Is to spread a rumor that the yield
promises to be a complr'e failure.
