Corbett Building 108 OPPOSE STATE ROAD Linn County Council of Grange Is Against Plan. WANT MORE ROADS MADE lv about 40 years old. wearing a shabby blue coat and overalls, was found this morning lylnK among the leaves In a lonely spot on the bank of Cow Creek, about a mile north of this city near the Southern Pacific railroad bridge. The man was seen around town last WeJnes diiv begsing. On Wednesday morning a section man met him on the track near tunnel 8. He inquired of him the day of the week and when told it was Wednes day he remarked that he had been asleep for three davs. Nothing more was seen of him until- last night, when a young man coming along the track noticed a man lying on the ground a short dis tance from the track with- a fire smoul dering beside him. This morning a party of hunters while hunting quail along Cow Creek found the body lying in an old shed, face downward on a pile of Think Money Should Be Expended in Highways From Kailroads Into Fruit and Farming Districts, Instead of One Broad Way. ALBANY. Or.. Nov. S. (Special.) The plan of the Oregon Good Koads Association to build a broad state high way across Oregon from north to south was - strongly opposed by the Linn County Council of the Grange yester day. The action was taken at a meet ing of the Council at Crowfoot Grange, near Leoanon. which was attended by prominent fanners from all parts ot the county. Instead of building one long road. It was argued that It would be a much better plan to use all available road money in building roads from railroad stations and steamboat landings into the farming sections. The state road would benefit few. It was stated, while shorter roads running from the cities and towns would benefit all. and the money necessary to build the one long state highway would provide means to improve existing county roads and make hard permanent thoroughfares. The matter of the state road, which was indorsed at the recent convention of the Oregon Good Koads Association in Portland, came up for discussion on a motion to Indorse the resolution passed by Pomona Grange o Marlon county condemnatory of the plan to bulid a state highway. The discussion disclosed that the Linn County farm ers are almost unanimously opposed to paralleling ike Southern Pacific Rail road with a road but prefer to build roads out east and west from the rail road and the resolution of the Marion County Grange was heartily Indorsed. Local members of the Grange state thht the order throughout . Western Oregon will formulate active opposi tion to the plan of the Oregon Good Roads Association, not for the reason that poo,i roads are opposed, but that they want the good roads running from transportation points into the farming communities rather than parallel with the railroads. The question of amending the state game laws, which -Is rrceiving a great deal ot attention In this part of the slate now because of the unprece der.ted scarcity of China pheasants, was discussed. The Council appeared to favor hunting without dogs as one ' of the best amendments yet suggested. The establishment of a County High School system, .which was adopted by popular vote In tile recent election, was discussed and the Council adopted a resolution asking the County High School Board to maintain a county High School In every district which maintains a good High School.

LOOPHOLE FOR SALOONS Estacada Man Charged With Run ning "Blind Pig" May Go Free. . OREGON CITT. Or.. Nov. 8. (Spe cial.) The decision of the Supreme Court relative to the regulation of the liquor traffic In cities and towns, Irre spective of the action of counties which are voted dry as a whole under the provisions of the local option law, may prevent the indictment of Al Close, of Estacada, who. It is charged, has been running a "blind pig" since the town went dry at the last June election. The charter of Estacada has a provision similar to that of the Medford charter, placing the regulation of the saloon business into the hands of the munici pality, and any violation of the charter can be corrected only by the city authorities. The Clackamas County Grand Jury has been examining witnesses in this case. Four were subpoenaed, George Oglesby, of Marks Prairie; Grover Krigbaum, Virgil Wagner and Russ Wilcox. Oglesby was ill in bed and could not appear before the Jury. It is stated that Wilcox bought beer at Close's place and treated Krigbaum and Wagner, the latter being only 17 years old. No indictment has been returned, but the Grand Jury has the power to deal with Close for the sale of liquor to a minor. How Chchalis County Voted. ABERDEEN, Wash., Nov. 8. (Spe cial.)

ENFORCE LOCAL OPTION KIjAMATH OFFICIALS BEGIN MAKING ARRESTS. Policy or Winking at JLaw Abolished. Grand Jury Will Have Plenty of Evidence. KLAMATH PALLS, Or., Nov. 8. (Special.) Following in the wake of other Oregon counties where the sa loon Interests, long in control of local affairs In a greater or less degree, have failed to observe the local option law after It had been voted by the citi zens of the county, Klamath is now the scene of enforcement and prosecu tions have been started to make the county, in fact as well as in name, a "dry" county. Local officials have been allowing the violations to proceed openly, and the citizens refrained from taking pos itive steps. 'Sheriff W. B. Barnes, how ever, realizing the necessity for action, started the machinery of the law by the arrest of Carl Reed, proprietor of a. resort, on a charge of gambling, and also at the same time took in charge C. t Goodrich, dealer; Fred Sort, George English, Joe Ball and three others, who were placed under the same charge.

Meyer, owner of the building oc cupied by Carl Reed, were also made the subjects of warrants charging gambling.
