to handle the business in a co
operative way, the irrigation company

got the same amount of care and water
in Summer which the 20 received last
season. This would mean an enormous
return from one acre.

BIG CUT WILL BE MADE
Contractors to Send Workmen and
Equipment to North Bend Im
mediately to Commence Ac
tive Operations.
NORTH BEND. Or.. Feb. 8. (Spe
cial.) J. M. Dixon, superintendent for
the MacArthur-Perks Company, con
tractors for the construction of the
Coos-Bay-Eugene line of the Southern
Pacific; Engineer Hindmarsh of the
Southern Pacific, who is In charge of
the bridge approaches of the Southern
Pacific in this city, and a'crew of en
gineers, arrived on the ground today
and commenced work on the big cut to
be made to get to the waterfront from
here. It is expected ' that equipment
and a force of men will be on the
ground in a few days and that work
will be rushed to completion.
It develops that the MacArthur-Perks
Company, while- having the contract
for the entire line from Coos Bay to
Eugene, and which sublet a great por
tion of it, has kept this end of the
job for themselves, with the expecta
tion that the construction on the line
to Eureka would be commenced before
the work here is finished, and that they
would be In position to go ahead with
it from their base of supplies here.
While it is not at all unlikely that
this is the case, Mr. Dixon said that
he did not care to talk about it, as
the Work here was the one considera
tion now.
At Marshfleld there Is speculation as
to the attitude of the Terminal Rail
road Company, which Is negotiating
with the Southern Pacific for the sale
of its franchise and tracks. It' is un
derstood that the entire transaction
hinges on C. A. Smith, the lumber mag-
Bate, who Is one of the principal own
ers, and It is not thought that he will
desire to give entire control of the rail
road situation to the Southern Pacific
bv its sale.
. This road Is the only available route
into the city, and at the time the fran
chise was asked for It was represented
to the City Council that it was to be
constructed for the purpose of not let
ting any one railroad bottle up Marsh
field for Its own use, and that the Ter
mlnal road would give all roads that
desired It entrance into the city for
a nominal fee for the use of Its track.
However, two of the owners have been
negotiating with the Southern Pacific
for its sale, and are anxiously await
ing word from Mr. Smith as to what
he will do. in the matter.
A second steam shovel Is en route to
Gardiner to be used on the work there
by Copenhagen Brothers, and activity
Is becoming general all along the line.
Porter Brothers and Copenhagen Broth
ers are rushing their camps, working
seven davs a week, and are placing ad
ditional men at work as fast as they
can be obtained.

SUPREME COURT FINDS AGAINST
UNION PACIFIC INSURANCE.
High Tribunal Upholds Commission
er In Contention That Company's
Finances Not as Required.
SALEM, Or., Feb. . (Special.)
Frenzied financial methods, as applied
to Insurance companies were given a
severe rap by the Supreme Court In
the .decision In the case of the Union
Paclfio Insurance Company vs. the
State of Oregon. The decision was
written by Justice Eakin and reverses
the ruling In the lower court maae oy
Judge Galloway.
The case had its inception last Fall,
when the company fell in the bad
graces of State Insurance Commissioner
Ferguson. The Commissioner alleged
the company did not possess a fully
paid In capital stock of $100,000, as the
state law requires. After warning the
concern, the Commissioner attempted to
cancel the Insurance company s license.
Action was brought In the Circuit
Court and after a hotly contested trial.
the court granted an injunction against
the Commissioner. The same judge also
gave a writ of mandamus at the first
of the year, compelling air. r erguson
to renew the license for the current
year.
The Supreme Court's decision dis
solves both of the writs, and dismisses
the company's suit. This will have the
effect of preventing the concern from
doing business until It puts its capital
In shape to satisfy tne requirements
of the Commissioner.
In its pleadings, the company ad
mitted that It had not sold stock to
the 'full oar value of $100,000, but as
serted It had sold a fewer number of
shares at a premium so that the total
sum accruing was more than the re
aulred amount.
In the decision Justice Eakln goes at
length into the legal definition of -capl
tal stock, and quotes at length to show
that tho premium from stock sales is
not to be considered as capital, but
rather as undivided profits. The con
elusion is that the company has not the
$100,000 paid in capital stock and thus
Is not entitled to do business under the
Oregon state law. The decision is
taken as a signal victory for the in
surance Commissioner.

FOR DELICATE CHILDREN
A Mother's Letter to Mothers.
Mrs. E. W. Cooper, of Bloomfield, N.
J., says: "My child, seven years old.
had a bad cold and was weak and quite
run down in health. She had been la
this condition for about six weeks
when I began giving her Vinol. It was
a wonderful help to the child, breaking
up her cold quickly and building up
her strength beside. I have also found
Vinol a most excellent tonic for keep
ing up the children's strength during a
siege of whooping cougli."
Vinol is a wonderful combination of
two world-famed tonics the medicinal
body building elements of cod liver oil
and Iron for the blood, therefore It is a
perfectly safe medicine for children,
because it is not a patent medicine,
everything In it is printed on every
package, so mothers may know what
they are giving their little ones.
Therefore we ask every mother of a
weak, sickly or ailing child in this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guarantee.
