VOLUME XXXII
SPECI ALELECT10N POSSIBLE
ON 1910 BONDS
Opinion Changes and Owners of
Paper Ask People to
Act Again.
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.

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.
