F. hall, when the workmen found It necessary to cut away the corner stone. The cornorstone was laid in the year 1892 and was solid marble block, containing a small pocket in which was placed a copper receptacle containing the various things usu ally placed in such a stone. From the outside the block appeared to be slabs sot In concrete. N. T. Jewett, however, who -was one of the members of the committee part icipating In the ceremony when the cornerstone was laid, Informed the contractor of the nature of the stone and the manner in which It should be trimmed up caused considerable study for some time. A great deal of work will be required to cut down its two faces to coincide with the remainder of the work now being done. . Appreciative Crowd Witness Bootleggers It has ben said that an appreciative audience has much to do with the success of a show, and also with the efforA of the aotors themsolves, and If this Is so then each member of the iast of The Bootleggers at, the Ant ler's, theater last night should have surnassed all of their former efforts. The audience was in full sympathy with the play from the moment of the rise of the curtain until it fell. and greeted each song, dance or Joke, with prolonged laughter and ap plause, no matter how old. Although a slight plot could be noticed by close observation, the entertainment con sisted of a series of songs and dances by the various members of'the cost, some of which wore exceptionally pood. Toe dancing by one of the members of the chorus was especially nood as was an exhibition dance ptven bv the same young lady and a male partner. Many Will Attend Realty Convention According to word which has been received here, great preparations are being made for the Fourth Annual Convention of the Inter-State Realty association of the Pacific northwest. Which will take plare In Spokane on Julv 15-16-17, Inclusive. Letters of Invitation have been received by each member of the Roseliurg Realty board, many of whom have signified their Intentions of being present. The Invitations are cleverly worded and assure each one who is present a good time and urges them to bring the "wife and kiddles" along. It is to be a real business convention also, and much practical help is derived by the real estate dealers from the oppor tunity to get together. Among the entertainment features is scheduled a trip to the top of Mount Spokane. Sugar RefinerS Cut Their Prices SAN FRANCISCO.

It was plainly evident, that State Highway Commissioner E. E. Kiddle was greatly impressed by his trip over the Tiller-Crater loke cut off route yesterday. He had ex pected to find a route chiefly through a game country, of little commercial value a road Intended mainly fjr tourist travel, ono of scenic beauty and little else. Instead he was sur prised to find a highly developed eommun'ty, farms, stock ranches and Industries needing an outlet.

COURSE IS PRACTICAL ClasNes Are Open to Everyone Who WUlic to Take and Are til veil Free of Chance Shortage of Nurses Aroune Interest. With classes formed In Oakland, Sutherlin, Garden Valley and Wins ton as a result of a few days' work. Miss Emily Hammond Smith, of Se attle, recently appointed as public health nurse for Douglas county Is confident that the experiment will be one of the most successful to be taken up here for some time. Judg ing by tile Interest and enthusiasm which greets Miss Smith and her project on every side It would seem that her confidence is not misplaced. Tho influenza epidemics of the past two years are taken to account large ly for the desire on the part of housewives and mothers to loarn tho rudiments of plain nursing so that Ignorance and delay may not again have to account for deaths. Course Is Practical. The course offered by Miss Smith Is one of the most practical that could be devised, and Is the result of much study on the part, of experts with tho one aim In view to compile a study course which would teach In as short a time as possible, the busy care'skcrs of a household the right way to care for their children, both to prevent illness and to care for them In case they are 111. It Is made up of fifteen lessons, one of which will be given each week. They are meeting with especial favor in the rural districts among thoso who realize tho value of being able to recognize and treat symiitoras of Blsease when a doctor Is many miles I away and flen unable to . obtain at all. A portion of the course Is given up to lectures and a part to demon stration work to thoroughly acquaint the students with the more common i problems to be met day by day. Open to Evory One. There are absolutely no restric : Hons as to who shall Join the classes taken by Miss Smith. -There is an erroneous Impression that only those who are members of the lied Cross society aro eligible. Miss Smith wishes it to be made plum that this ha nothing whatovcr lo do with the Hod Cross membership, and the only qualification necessary is that one be interested. The Douglas county chapter of the American Red Cross, owing to the drives for funds carried on by thein at various times, have an amount of money available In the ,r:asury which they desire to turn k Into the county ln this way. by giving thoso In the community who desire the Instruction an opportunity to obtain the best. Hluirtave of Nnrs. ' Another ' advantnge In favor of this rudimentary course of Instruc tion is the prevailing shortage of D Day lei nurses, which instead of improving fs .steadily growing worse. Miss Kmlth gives na a reason for this the fact that fever every year are enter ing the nurses' training schools, and of those, not many are taking up pri vate nursing, owing to the many ad vantages offered them In other branches of the work, such am nurs ing ln doctors' offices. In High School Course. So highly does the Roseburg school board think of the course of Instruction, that It has been-decided to add It to the blub school courses next year, and a regular teacher and class period will bo provided. Head quarters huve been given Miss Smith In room 210 in the high school build ing for tho summer, and as soon an the Uoseburg classes are arranged they will probahly be held at that place. Miss Smith hopes to bo aide to form two elasws -In this city, and early In the fall to start night classes for those who are unable to attend III the day time. She will also ex tend her services to Glide. Cama Valley. Riddle and Mvrtle Creek and expe-ts to form as many classes a her. time will permit.

SCHOOL TAX LEVIES DECLAEREO VOID Failure to Give Proper Notice In Many Districts Makes Special Tax Invalid. 20 DAYS ARE REQUIRED In Almost Third of Districts Hoard Fulls to Obnervo Time Prescribed by Uw Regarding School Elections in the Slate. That one-third of the special school tax levies voted in the various .(. liool districts of the county are void because of failure to give proper no tice, is the statement made by Coun ty Assessor Erauk Calkins. Failure lo observe the requirements of the law. has resulted In the Invalidation of the school levies aa voted at the ipeciul and annual meetings called ior the 21st. Assessor Calkins has received a number of the returns from the dis tricts and in several cases finds that ihe notice was not properly given and Is returning the papers with the instructions to call another meeting ts soon as possible and again vote the levy. The law provides that where the amount of tax voted for school pur poses does not exceed that of the 'ircvlous year by more than 6 per ent, there Is no necessity for call ing an election, the levy being made ip by the school board of the dis trict. If. however, the 6 ner cent j 'imitation Is to be exceeded, the uhool board must call an election ind must give 21) days notice by 'ttr conspicuous places within the unmet, ine giving oi zu nays no tice of the election is Imperative and unless that provision is observed the election cannot he taken into account md any levy voted Is void. In several districts, only 10 days notice was given, in others the time waa 18 days. In these districts the school board will be required to tgalii serve notice for the full 20 lavs, and at the expiration of that tin o an election will be held nnd a tore again taken on the proposed ax levy. Assessor Calkins is urging ' the hoards to call their elections as early s nosslble. Last year some of those making their levies failed to call 'heir meetings earlv enough and con T'lptenlly no school tnx was extended n the rolls. The work of extending ho tax roll will be started soon and llstrlcts have only the requisite tmmint of time to call their elec 'lons. Fitch districts as have failed 'o properlv hold their elections are "eln" notified by the assessor and -re warned to correct the mistake it once. !'Kis"o iiorvo. PI'TTK, Mont. .Tune 23.
