Irofesor of entomology and crop pest
expert t -Oivgon Agricultural Col
lege, returned from Portland, Hills
feoro, Tamhlll and Carlton, where he
has been making a continued InresU
cation into the ravages of a species of
beetle found in these sections. His
object was to discover whether this
particular pest attacks healthy trees.

Douglas Fair Success.

hampered on account of rainy weath
er during the first three days of the

BRIDGE CREW HEIRS WIN
Douglas County to Pay $1000 to
Families of Men Killed.
Roseburg. Acting upon the advice
of hundreds of taxpayers, -together
with petitions from various granges
of Douglas County, the county court
uthoriied the payment of $1000 to
the legal heirs of the six members of
the county bridge gang who were
killed as a result of the collapse of
the I'mpqua bridge on August 24.
Mrs. Alice McFarlane. of Curry Coun
ty, widow of Peter McFarlane, a vic
tim of the accident, accepted the
compromise and tendered the county
a sufficient release from damages. It
Is believed that a like compromise also
will be effected in the other cases.
According to the order filed by the
court, the county denies all liability
as a result of the accident. This alle
gation, they aver, is based upon court
decisions In parallel cases in which-it
was held that the county was not lia
ble. The commissioners contend that
the money was not authorized with a
view of satisfying the claims, but was
tendered with a view of assisting
those dependent upon the victims.

chinery. Drainage District Asked.
