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

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.

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. J. V. Houston, proprie
tor of the Central saloon, prior to en
actment of the local option law, and
C. N. Meyer, owner of the building oc
cupied by Carl Reed, were also made
the subjects of warrants charging
gambling.
Incidentally, It is claimed that evi
dence of considerable volume has been
obtained to be used in evidence before
the grand Jury, relating to violations
of the law, and that a large number of
