Any dance not held in a private house or residence, or any class in dancing, where in struction is given for hire, comes under this ordinance. Jf enforced, this ordinance will greatly hamper the activities of in structors, who have been striving to give Iloseburg the proper kind or dancing. However, It Is understood that they will continue as heretofore, having been legally advised that ow ing to the fact that their dancing les sons are given privately that they therefore cannot be termed classes.

Hildeburn, the well known local contractor, has been awarded tlie contract by the Statu Highway Commission for the grad ing of the Pacific Highway in Doug las County from Drain to a point one mile south of Voncalla, which will require 7,5 00 cubic yards of exca alion for the grading of the strip five and one-tenth miles in length. Mr. Hildeburn had the lowest es timate among the five bids which were submitted for this piece of work by contracting firms in differ ent parts of the. state, and under estimated the nearest competitor by over one thousand dollars. His bid was $ H.l"7.!tr. The John Hampshire Co. was awarded the contract lor the grading oT the Pacific Highway from the Josephine-Doimlas County line thru Stage Coast Pass, a distance of two and one-half miles, requiring the re inoal of approximately tJti.OOO cubic yards of excavation. It had been previously announced that the State Highway Commission had contemplated bridging Cow Creek about three miles above Glen dale to connect with the Stage Coach i'ass cut-off, and the matter as yet is not fully settled. However, the people of the southern Douglas County town are putting up a strong resistance against any moe thai will eliminate them from the highway route. The stand the State Highway Commission is to take in the matter lias not been made public. Act ual work is to commence on these t w o projects just as soon as the weathor permits.

HEARING ON FISHING Bill AT SALEM; PROBA BLY WIIIJE DEEEATED Most of the local delegation which went to Salem in opposition to House bill No. 120, for the regulation of fishing in thu Umpuua River, re turned last night or this morning. There were about twelve from this part of the county, representing many different interests, including the local merchants, thu Grange, bankers, railroad men, farmers und fishermen.

COUNTY COURT FAVORS EMERGENCY CLAUSE IN $10,000,000 BOND Bill The County Court has been ex ceedingly busy today with the many road matters now before that body for disposition. The usual quietness of the court's sanctum was broken by the appearance of a Camas Val ley delegation who brought with them a problem for t he court to solve. It seems that the delegation is a factional one and that their viewpoints retarding S. 11. Croy, acting as road patrolman in the Cam as Valley district, widely differ. One side wants to retain Mr. Croy In that capacity and the other does not. Hence the matter is now up lo Hie') county officials to make a final de cision. In the matter of the petition of It. T. Blakely. et al, for the location of u county road in district No. 2, it was ordered that County Roadmas ter Germond make a final survey of this roadway and file with the court a report thereon, and that after re ports have been filed that the road will be opened out of any moneys available. In the matter of the petition of O. C. Thompson and 21 others, all free holders, for the establish m on I of a road in district No. I. an order for viewing out this road was made. The county roadmasfer to make a report thereon. The County Court adopted resolu tions favoring the emergency clause being added to the 1 m.imiu.ooo road bonding bill now pending before the Legislature. These resolut ions are to be sent, to the Douglas County doleful ion now at Salem. The court made an order today for advertising for sale of the remainder o tthe Douglas County road bonds.

He was not locked in his cell last night and had the freedom of tho corridor. By pil ing up tables beneath the skylight he was able to reach the latter and saw the bar off.

The pitcher went lo the well just once too often. Deputy Sheriff Newshlp, of Lane County, happened to spy the man trudging under I he weight of Ivvo heavy suit cases and at once be came suspicious.
