First Figures
The county court has fixed its an
nual budget. A public hearing on the
items involved in the statement will
be given December 24 at 10 o'clock in
the court house.
In the statement, the court esti
mates the expenses of the year - at
$414,840 for county purposes and f 170,
000 for state purposes. The estimate
for the redemption of outstanding
road warrants and accrued interest is
$125,000. The receipts from the coun
ty offices are estimated for the year
at $14,650.
Of these estimated expenses, the
court allows $1500 to the county judge,
$4,575 to the sheriff, $4,320 to the
county clerk, $4,220 to the county re
corder, $3,785 to the county treasurer,
$3,930 for the school superintendent,
county assessor $6000, county attor
ney for office expenses $50, coroner
$1,100, surveyor $3,000, veterinarian
$600, sealer of weights and measures
$1,000, board of health $1,300, tax re
bate $300, court house expenses $3,500,
jail $1,800, county poor $6,000, wid
ow's pensions $1,200, elections $9,500,
circuit court $7,000, justice of the
peace $2,500, printing and other ex
penses, $6,000.
In addition, the county plans to
spend $235,760 on the roads through
the districts besides the special levies
that have been made for highway
work. The schools are to receive
$92,000 in addition to the amounts
that have been voted by a large num
ber of the district through the county.
The estimate for state expenses will
not be as great as had been anticipat
ed and included in the budget. The
notice sent to the office of the county
assessor called for $170,000 while the
county will have to raise somewhat
more than $154,000 for state purposes.
The first estimate was due 'to an error
in the office of the tax commission.
Robert R. Rankin, United States
deputy district attorney, has notified
Chief-of Police Ed Shaw tnat the trial
of James Bliss and Frank Morgen,
who are charged with breaking in and
robbing the Willamette "postoffice,

Henry Cook, the two who made the
arrest; will appear as witnesses.

balcony of the store at the time of
the robbery, will go from Willamette
to the trial.
. The two" men are charged with rob
bing the postoffice and attempting to
break in the safe on the night of Octo
ber 14. They were arrested early tbc
following morning in Oregon City and
afterwards turned over to the federal

DICK'S CATTLE CO
. TO P0R1LAND SHOW
Judge Grant B. Dimick leaves Satur
day with a car of 10 head of his best
stock for the show in Portland Decem
ber 8, 13.
From all parts of the state, some of
the finest stock that has been raised
in the past year or two will be brought
to the exhibit grounds. The judge
has selected some f his best from his
farm and plans to get them into the
show this year.
The show is given to encourage the
cattle industry of the state and to
arouse an interest in the production
of stock. The tendency toward more
live stock through the state has been
largely worked up through these
shows and some of the animals that
are brought to Portland for exhibit
purposes are high grade. .
A grand clean-up campaign is in
progress in the courthouse yard at
Gold Beach, as an altogether surpris
ing result of Halloween pranks. The
authorities decided to was cheaper to
remove the few things the boys had
left than to hunt up and put back the
many they ad overturned or dragged
away.

ROLLER GASHES HAND
OF MILL LABORER
William Splinter, an employe of the
Willamette Pulp & Paper company,
was injured while helping with the
moving of a generator Friday. The
heavy machinery was carried on rol
lers and the laborer got his hand un
der one of them.
Though the entire hand was badly
cut and mashed, Dr. Hugh Mount be
lieved that he could save it and . sent
the man to the hospital after taking
several stitches in the gashed flesh.
Before his daughter had left the hos

TELEPHONES MUST
INTERCHANGE CALLS
SALEM, Ore., Dec. 5. Holding that
there is a public necessity for the se
vice, the State Railroad commission
today issued an order in the com
plaint of the Wright, Dickinson Hotel
company, owners of the Hotel Oregon
in Portland, against the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph company, that the
telephone company interchange calls
with the Home Telephone & Tele
graph company in the hotel. It is the
first time in history of the two com
panies in the state that the older one
has been ordered to give an inter
change service with its rival, and it
fought to the last agamst doing so.
The Oswego rioters are acquitted.
In the circuit court of the county
Friday afternoon, the trial jury that
heard the case of the 10 men Indicted
for a riot at Oswego returned a ver
dict of not guilty. All of the defend
ants were present with the exception
of Blackie. Illes who is in Texas await
ing his appeal in the criminal court of
appeals in that state.
Meant To Pow-Wow.
Through the course of the trial, the
defendants had claimed that they orig
inally intended simply to persuade the
men then at work for the Home Tele
phone company at Oswego that they
should leave the job in justice to the
union men who were out of work.
They planned to have a quiet argu
ment about the matters at issue and
to talk the men out of their jobs, if
possible. They claimed that Illes was
responsible for all of the trouble and
that he instigated the disturbance that
followed there and did the first act of
violence there committed. They blame
the whole trouble onto the acts that
Illes committed at that time and said
that he was responsible for all of the
disturbances that followed. They
claimed that he threw the instruments
at the pther men and that he kicked
one of them while the regular crowd
was peacably talking with the others.
Tried to Drop Him
They also alleged that they had
made every effort to prevent his join
ing the crowd even before they left
the depot in Portland but that he in
sisted upon getting on the same car
with them. They said that he was in
an intoxicated condition when he left
Portland and that he stirred up an
argument with a man on the car be
fore they had hardly more than reach
ed the city limits. '
Throughout the case, the blame for
I the disturbances at Oswego was laid
upon the shoulders of Illes. It is pos
sible that Sheriff Mass will have to

more than $1,200,000, and $25,000 for
each additional mile of track laid. The
Corvallis. & Alsea road, now operated
