A road primer, the first of its kind, is to be issued by County Judge Thompson, who for a long time has been studying the prob lem of securing some method of teach ing properly ' the principles of road building at the country schools. The book is to be written by Hoi lis W. Libby, county surveyor, and be pub lished by the county judge. Although intended to be used as a means of in struction primarily in this county, the book will be available for schools all over Oregon. It is believed it will meet a general demand. "We're blazing a trail in this line, just as Lane county has blazed a trail in aome otner lines of road construe tion, " said Judge Thompson. "This book, so far as I know, will be the first of the kind, but it will be of great value in the schools. It will not only teach the children, the future generation, the elements of road con traction, but it will bring this phase of education home to the parents. "At present we need a book of this kind in the schools of the Siuslaw dis trict, where Miss VanBiber has al ready introduced road-building and road-construction as a course, and where she has offered prizes for the best road. The ordinary teacher can not teacn sucn a subject as this, and a road primer, or textbook of some kind, is necessary. New Oregon Eastern Line Connects Vale and Inland Town. Vale The Oregon Eastern Railroad s now completed to Juntura, connert- ng V ale with that rapidly-growing town, 62 miles to the East. There have been three bridges, ag gregating 850 feet in length, built across the Malheur River, and the lin ing was put in one tunnel during two weeks. A large boulder came down the mountain recently, derailing the con-J struction engine and tender and a heavy gondola. There will be 100 cars of cattle shipped from Juntura by the end of this week, and two trainloads are ex pected to go next week. The Oregon Eastern company has contracted with William P. Harris, of Vale, to sink a deep well on the depot grounds at Juntura, with the purpose of striking an artesian flow. The new depot at Juntura is to be built of native stone, seven acres of ground being used for the depot site, yards, "Y" and a large gravel pit. which is being opened for building purposes and cement work. Governor Fears Oregon May Lose $100,000 School Money. Salem That $100,000 is due the state a loans from the school fund on farms waa announced at a meeting of the State land board. Announcement waa also made that, under a law passed at the recent session of the leg islature, unless the money is paid on or before January 1 next, it shall be presumed to be paid and it will be lost to the state. The law clearly specifies that the State land board shall be responsible for the collection. Governor West called attention to section 3915, I.ord'a Oregon Laws, which says that all loans from the common school fund "shall be made for a period of one year; provided that in case the inter est is promptly paid and the security remains unimpaired, the board may, in its discretion, permit the loan to stand for a period of not longer than ten years. " The governor then announced that an examination of the record revealed there were about 100 mortgages cover ing loans from the common school fund in the custody of the State treas urer which are past the ten-year period provided by law. lie admitted that the time which the loans should have been permitted lo stand was wholly under the control of the board, but intimated the State treasurer had been derelict in not reporting them. Mr. Kay said complete reports had been mado to (he board and that it was customary to be lenient with the borrowers. All of them, he explained, had been notified that they must pay what they owe, and the attorneys of the various counties representing the board had been notified to bring suit. He said it had not been the purpose of the board to work hardships on the land owners, for in all cases the state was amply safeguarded. The loans amount to only one-third of the value of the land. Mr. Kay said he was willing to foreclose at any time. Governor West insisted that action be taken at once. 20 GAUGE ( 'JIAMMV.ULKSS KliVHATJXa RlTOTC.VX The Model 1912 Winchester la tho lightest atromw and handsomest repeating ahotgun on the inarir weighs only about 5 pounds, yet it has great stremrtk because its metal porta throughout are, mado of nickel steel It is a two-purt Take down, without loose parts, is siinple to operate and the action works with an ease and snioothneia unknown in guns of other makes.
