Because Ioga! opinion In-Id one way in 1910 and now holds another way, Cot luge Grove may hold n special idee t ion to uinend it« ehm 1er m order to validate the reeenl issue oí water re iunding bonds. When the $30,000 oí fuuding boud.s were voted at un initia five election in the fall o í Itilo, no question was raised by altorneys of the bond buyers as to their legality, although the issue exceeded the bond debt limit of the charter, because the net voted by the people expressly re pealed chapters and sections ot the charter in conflict therewith. At that ' tune the initiative law was so con strued. But now, after eleven years, the legal ghost rises up to reverse it self, and in order that the recent issue of * i f» ,000 in water refunding bonds may be made to conform to present day opinion of the ancient act of 1010, the eity is asked to hold a special charter amendment election. At the session of the council Tuesday night, reluctant consent was given to the election, but the cost probably will be shifted to the owners of the bonds. Vehicles Pay License. Another important matter was the passage of an ordinance to provide that public utility vehicles shall not lie operated in the city except under a franchise granted by the city. This, in short, is to require all forbire se hides to operate under a license and will include drays, stages, trucks and all vehicles that transport passengers or property for hire to pay something mto the city treasury for the use of the streets. COUNTY PRISONERS SEEK SHORT CUT OUT County Jail About Ready to Fall to Pieces as Result of Several Attempts to Escape. The door to every cell in the county jail was found by Hheriff Htickels n few duys ago to have been sprung, the clasp that holds the lever that opens aud shuts the cell doors was found to have been sawed through, marks where the prisoners had attempted to saw through the bars o f a number of celts were discovered and two ten nicti hack saws and pieces of several more were unearthed. All but a few of the trustics in the jail ure now locked up hi the cells aud Zeno Hansard, alleged bootlegger, in whose cell the hack saws were found, occupied the solitary dark coll and Jiui Grids, serving time for alleged bootlegging, and ‘ ‘ H ill’ * Rhodes, a one legged mail, uemsed of the same offense, who had been eooking for the crew, are kept locked in a cell to get her. Houieone else will now do tin cooking. ►Sheriff Htickels and Deputy Hheriff Croner spent the greater part of a day searching for hack saws and bars that had been cut. During the search all prisoners except trusties were locked up in the women’s cell. The saws were found behind the paper pictures pasted oil the cell walls. All of these pictures have been torn off. Several days ago the sheriff dis covered that one lair on an outside window had been sawed through and another one adjoining was almost sev ered. It is believed that it was the plan “of the prisoners to break out of til«* cell cage some night and it would have been an easy matter to finisu cutting through this outside bar.

MEN AND SUPPLIES GO TO BOHEMIA DISTRICT Eight men left Monday with 3500 pounds of supplies for the President property in the Bohemia district. On account of the mildness of the w'inter, no difficulty was experieiiced in get ting the freight into the property, a I tli nigh usually at this time of the year the feat would be impossible. The men, five of whom are lessees of the property, intend to spend the winter in getting things arranged for extensive operations in the spring. Hog Dresses 500 Pounds. Delight Valley, Jan. 4.

VIEWERS NOT FAVORABLE TO PROPOSED ROUTE Say Prices Asked by Land Owners Prohibits Relocation of Pacific Highway to North. Eugene, Ore., Dec. 30.— Because property holders on the right o f way proposed for the Pacific highway north of Cottage Grove want exhorbitant prices for their laud, the road may be left where it is aud paved by the state, according to one o f the county road viewers who visited the scene yesterday. Tho viewers are of tho opinion that the change in route would enhance the value of the land and that moderate prices should be charged the county. The proposed route which would cross the Willamette river at the site of the old bridge north o f Cottage Grove and go into the city on a straight line east of the river. While the old route is on a curve, aud longer, the viewers declare that unless the land can be bought at a more reason­ able price th«* old route will be fo l­ lowed unless the state intervenes. The old bridge north o f Cottage Grove which has been condemned, will be replaced with a tnoderu structure if thi* proposed new route is selected for tin* Pacific highway, otherwise the county court is considering tearing it «low-n.

Taxes due on the l»uue county rolls as far back as 1913 have lately been collected by Hheriff Fred G. Htickels and he has just made a 1 uruover of $23,640.20 of such money. Every once in awhile in order to clear the records in connection with certain pieces of property, someone comes into the office o f the sheriff and pays the taxes due for a number of years past, together with penalties and interest.
