From the opinion rendered by the
Attorney Ooneral it would appear
that Commissioner Brown cotild yet
declare his intention to remain a
reHident of Crook county and hold
the place. Of course such action is
not at all likely, but local attorneys
who have read the decision hold it
possible.

OREGON NEWS NOTES
GF GENERAUHTEBEST
Events Occurring Throughout
the State During the Past
Week.
Final Obstacle to Coos Road Removed
Kugene, All obstacles In the way
of completing the Willamette-Pacific
railway to Coos Ha were removed
when the last stretch of right-of-way
along the entire line was obtained this
week. Announcement has been made
by the engineers lu charge of con- j
Hi ruction that successful negotiations ;
between the railway company and the ;
owners of tho Johnson-Anderson rock :
quarry had been completed, whereby
the railway company acquires the land ;
through this property for the road.
Failure to obtain this piece of right- ,
of way lias delayed the beginning of
work on the big bridge below Maple- ;
ton for tho reason that It was lmpos- !
slble to get the steel for the structures I
to their respective sites, because they ;
are In the Kugene yards at this end of j
the line, and the quarry le between !
this city and the first of the big ;
bridges.

Salem. With the view of promoting
cooperation between the merchants

county agriculturist. Is organizing
what are known as agricultural and
commercial associations In the town

the organization of such an associa
tion at Woiidbtirn have been taken,
and as soon as it is formed one Is to
be organized at Mount Angel. Mer
chants In the tow ns are taking a keen
Interest In the movement, says Agri
culturist Chapln, as they realize that
the welfare of the towns depends up
on the development of the surrounding
country.
EXAMINE POWER PROJECTS
Streams of Oregon Attractive to Capi
talists Since Removal of Tax.

by Slate Engineer Lewis that three

power development will vltdt the stue

ination of the water power possibili
ties offered by Oregon streams, and
be and his corps of assistants are
rushing work on surveys and maps of
a number of projects In order mat lie
may be able to present full data to
the visitors. He has already assem
bled considerable data as to a number
of feasible power projects on Uie Co
lumbia, Hokuo and Snake rivers, and
bo U urging the federal geological
survey to complete Its survey of the
latter stream. State Engineer Lewis
desires to have It completed to Lewis
ton, and he believes it will disclose
projects sufficiently tempting to bring
capital Into the state to develop them.
Mr. Lewis said:
"The repeal by the recent legislature
of a law providing that a tax of from
25 cents to $2 should be paid on each
horsepower of waterpower developed
removed a great barrier to waterpow
er development In the slute and I am
confident that the next few years will
see much progress lu waterpower de
velopment." Dollar-hide Toll Road is Purchased.

purchased tho Dollurhldc toll road

non-rusting and
easy to wash.
Other separators.
on account of defective bow l
constructions become insani- '
tary because milk, in greater
or lesser quantity, comes in
contact with, and quickly
rusts, cast iron and steel. The
Liner, exclusively a U.

prevents milk contact
w ith the iron bowl chamber and
possible leakage into the gears.
This creat improvemen t.

famous non-rusting
nickel silver skimming
device, with surface as
non-adhesive as polished
ivory or glass, completes
the most sanitary separator equipment in existence.
The Mechanical Washer makes cleaning still easier and most
