C F GENERAL INTEREST
Events Occurring Throughout
tho ilz'.a During the Past
Week.
Austritnt Freed on Charge of Rioting.
The Pnlies Th? SS Austrian
chircml with riotir.g at Ortloy and
wbo were held in the county jail here
were dL.charsed by the justice of the
TOiice f.i'ier he had heard the evidence
for the Mate. While ihe Austrian
had been somewhat boisterous tu
their deti'.onstratio'is during an at
teniptcJ adjustment' of accounts be
tween tlvm mid the Hood River Or
chard Land company, it was not
shown that they w.re dar.serous.
Work On Natron Cut-off To Cease.
Klamath Kails. The announcement
that Erickson & Pttterson, contract
ors who finished the Natron cutoff
of the Southern Pacific railroad north
of here to the Williamson river, are
packing preparatory to moving all of
their construction equipment away,
gives rise to the belief here that the
work on this end of the cut-off will
not be pushed this year.
ROAD LAW IS EFFECTIVE
Amendment to Let Counties Vote
on Issuing Bonds, Sufficient.
Salem. That amended section 10 of
Article II of the state constitution as
passed by the people of the state at
the last general election In 1910, Is
sufficient in itself to allow counties
to vote on the question of bonding for
good roads and that the only place
that Jackson county failed In bonding
for 1,500,000 was the form of proce
dure, rather than from the necessity
of further legislation, are some discov
eries that have been made in connec
tion with the opinion of the supreme
court in the famous Andrews vs. Neil
case.
Tacked at the end of Justice Bur
nett's extensive opinion In that case
were three very brief specially con
curring opinions from Justices Bean
and McBride and Chief Justice Eakln,
or the majority of the court.
In these specially concurring opin
ions they express tho opinion that the
county can, by a local law submitted
at a regular election, provide for cre
ating an indebtedness and the issu
ance of bonds for the purpose of
building permanent roads.
Men Injured in Collapse of Bridge.
Lafayette. Fred Iandess and New
ton Livingstone, workmen employed
on a county bridge in course of con
struction, were dangerously and prob
ably fatallly injured when the one
bent of an old bridge, which the new
one is to replace fell, the heavy beams
striking down the two men.
County Official Seized.
Pendleton. Arrested in this city by
Sheriff Taylor upon notification from
Pasco authorities, Commissioner Geo.
Roe, of Franklin county, Washington,
was taken back to Pasco to face
charges of bribery and perjury fol
lowing his indictment on three counts.
PEST IS TREE DESTROYER
Storey- Bracher Lumber Company
Suffers Big Loss.
Cottage Grove. With some 50,000
feet of standing timber already de
stroyed and trees for a mile distant
having Buffered damage, a close watch
has been set for some mysterious ani
mal or pest which has been working
havoc on property of the Storey-Bra-cher
Lumber Company, near here.
The lumber destroying pest, which
seems to work at night, starts about
half way up the trunk and works its
way upward to the branches, digging
off the bark and sucking the sap.
Nothing but fir trees are attacked.
No one seems to have any definite
idea as to what manner of animal
is doing the work, although the gener
al belief appears to be that it must be
some form of the squirrel family.
Normal List Shows Cain.
Monmouth. The opening of the
second semester of the Oregon Nor
mal school shows an Increase of 23
new students enrolled, which brings
the total registration up to 123. It is
confidently expected that the regis
tration for this semester will reach
15.
61,483 Rabbits Killed.
Klamath Falls. It cost about $5672
to carry on the work of exterminating
undesirable animals in Klamath coun
ty during the year 1911. Rabbits are
the biggest item in the list of ani
mals whose slaughter is paid for in
the office of County Clerk De Lap.
There were brought in for bounty ears
cf 61,483 jacks.
Depot Robbed In Daylight.
Salem. The West Salem terminal
depot of tho Salem, Falls City & West
ern was broken into by burglars in
daylight Sunday while Agent W. H.
Norris was absent, and the robbers
