in as to whether the trial of August

likely that the trial will take' place at

right to be tried before jury drawn
from the regular panel, and this will

against John Stewart and H. L. Powers,
logger, doing business aa Stewart &
Powers. In a camo near Marshland, was
on trial before Judge Clehtnd, of Port

at shoveling gravel. He complains that
on September 14, 1800, while walk
ing along the ekld road ot the defend
ants, intending to go to ft barrel and get
a drink of water, he was caught by the
wire cable and thrown, with great 'force
to the ground, and h's left arm was torn
from til body. His right arm, he
states, was also broken in two places.
and he was otherwise injured. Reiter
testified that the cable was started sud
denly, without warning, and swayed
with great force a it struck him; alto
that it was not furnished with the proper
guy ropes; that the logs attempted to be
dragged were not properly fastened, and
that the engine was stationed at ft wrong
point. The defense Is that Reiter was
guilty of contributory negligence, as he
had no right to walk along the skid road,
and had been warned not to do so. It is
further contended that the appliances
were properly constructed.

The special school meeting which had
been called by our direetors for last Sat
urday, to decide whether a tax should
be levied for certain expenditures which
the directors have made, was pretty
generally attended by the taxpayers of
tne district, ana tne vote waa three lor
and fifteen against the levy. And now
that the voters of the district have so
decidedly expressed themselves we call
attention to the fact that for levying a
tax to clear the grounds, which was the
main expense Incurred, the directors
need not have asked for a vote at ail, for
a top of page forty, of the new school
law, It is strictly provided that the di
rectors must "clear tlie school grounds
of brush and other obstructions to s
good view of the premises," under pen
alty 01 a removal from omce against
themselves and a' withholding of any
part of tho 6-mill county tax as a pen
alty againit the district. The expense
Incurred is a charge against the district
and a tax way be levied thereon with'
out s vote of tlie taxpayers. Hence our
Vernonia directors have only complied
with the law in clearing the grounds
and should have gone 'on and made the
levy, but they nor the majority of the
voters knew the gun was loaded that
way. tsome of the latter did, however,
and rather enjoyed the explosion. Ha I
