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 ment. Both M r. and Mrs. Ham ­ mond will be active in the West- lake Hotel, as it was largely diie to Mrs. Hammond’s excellent meals here th at made the local hotel so popular.

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 ed the people in Lane county, but a atrip o f land three-quarters of a mile wide and four miles long waa retained as s part o f the joint d istrict Such a division was made for the reason that four or five families in this strip live much closer to the school house in Lincoln county than to the proposed new building.
