M r. and Mrs. R. Hammond,
for the past three years pro
prietors of the Roseburg Hotel,
will on March 1st take over the
management of the new West-
lake Hotel at Westlake, on the
.Willamette Pacific.
The new
hotel is located about 60 miles
west o f Eugene and is between
Florence and Gardiner, on the
new railroad. The formal papers
in the transaction will be signed
in a few days, according to M r.
Hammond.
As M r. Hammond is partly
interested in the property of the
local hotel, he hopes to dispose of
this before he leaves for his nSw
location. W hether this happens
or not he intends to leave and
his interests here w ill be given
attention by Henry Ridenour,
the owner of the remaining inter
est in the Roseburg establish

hotel so popular. She will have
charge o f the kitchen.
They
have a large number of friends
here and they w ill be greatly
missed.—Umpqua Courrier.

The wishes of the people in the
joint school district between Lane
and Lincoln counties near the
coast in regard to forming a
separata district in Lane county,
were granted only in part by the
district boundary board in session
yesterday. A petition was filed
some time ago to dissolve the
joint district—No. 173 in Lane
and No. 62 in Lincoln— and to
form an entirely new. district in
Lane. A new district was allow
