be killed, Baronness Renovlere
shed bitter tears before the court
yesterday, but after a struggle, de

The dog had a skin disease
which veterinarians sought to cure
by radium treatment. A capsule
of the precious metal valued at
twenty billion kronen was applied
to the affected part. The dog pre
ferred an Internal application,
however, and swallowed the cap

Only enough money remains in
the funds allotted for the North
Umpqua road to complete that
project to Williams Creek, two
miles from Steamboat ranger sta
tion, the goal for this year'a work.
according to J. M. Meyera, superin
tendent for the bureau of public
roads. It bad been hoped that
with the money made available
this year it would be possible to
complete the road through to
Steamboat, and except for unfor-1
seen circumstances, this would j
have been possible. Mr. Meyers
states that, aa much of the road I
will be constructed aa funda will j
permit, but he doea not expect to
get past Williams Creek thla year.
It Is expected that the government I
will supply sufficient (finds to '
carry the road on Into Steamboat,
but beyond that point It la not 1
probable that the work will be in-1
Itlated by the government, and If
any further construction Is under
taken it will only be by the effort1
of outside communities which
combine in showing the need and
necessity for the completion of the
road. , '
This rohd project was primarily
Instituted by the government as a
forest development proposition, de
signed largely for fire protection
and for getting supplies In and out
with dispatch.
Between Rock Creek and the
boundary of the l'miinua national
j forest. IKiuglas county was asked
to aid on a SO fill basis. This the
county nereed to do, and appropri
ated $17,500, which the govern
ment said would be the county's
share for that particular portion.
The $35,000 thus provided proved
far insufficient to complete the
section, but the government shout
dered all remaining expense, and
completed Ihe road to the boundary
without further aid from the coun
ty, more than $10,000 being used to
complete the road In the forest
limit. The government then asked
the county to appropriate $10,000.
while the federal bureau set aside
$40,000, this money to be used to
complete the road Into Steamboat.
The funds would have proven
ample, except for the fact thaf a
longer road, and one more diffi
cult to construct, was made nec
essary by the filing of power site
claims on the Norlh T'miwpia river.
The plana prnimsed by The Cali
fornia Oregon Power Company pro
vide for raising the waters more
than 100 feet In some places, an
that Instesd nf following a water
grade It became necessary to set
the road !)ark considerable dis
tance from Ihe river, winding in
and out among the spurs and can
yons, adding much In the length nf
the road, and causing cnnsiderable
mnre exertion and expense In con
struction. The government willingly as
sumed Ihe added burden entailed
by this change, as it Is Ihe policy,
wherever possible, to protect the
public's Interest In waterpower de
velopment. The North 1'mpnua
river Is polentlally one of the
greatest power streams In the
northwest, and as the public has
a great Interest In all federally re
served lands, its rights In water
power are b. ng protected so that
future development will not be
handicapped In any way. f'onae
fluently the mad was established
nn a new grade. ,
Kventually the power of the
river will drnihtless be harnessed,
and when this Is done the com
pany which lakes up the develop
ment project will probably be cal-
led upon to assume a imrtion nf
ithe adfled cost resulting frnm the
I change In plans, but In the mean
itlme the gnvernment Is prnviding
.the addltlnnal f'inds needed.
Mr. Meyers states thst Ihe an
J proprlatlon is now nearly exhausted
enough money remains, he believes
Ito finish the grade to Williams
Creek, and that will be all that
Iran be done unless additional funds
are raised.
The rnad Is being built upnn fnr-
