Union Depot Train Lamplighter Firmly Believes Body Tried to Leave Casket. TTICTOR" Is a native of Poland. V He is a very important and re spected employe at the Union Depot. He lights all the lamps in the passen ger trains entering and leaving the depot Today he feels that a tragedy that might have been averted has been recorded by the hand of Fate. Wednesday night he was going through one of the trains about to de part. It was late and the lights in the yard were dim. Outside the air was damp and cold. "Victor" hurried to complete his taek and return to the camaraderie of other employes of the depot. His task was almost finished. He entered the bagage coach. There lay a casket. It contained the body of a woman, en route to one of the ,Middle western cities. But the presence of the casket was not at all disturbing to the mind of "Victor." He went on with his task. Suddenly he heard a tapping. He listened. It seemed to emanate from the casket. The blood of "Victor" con gealed. He ran for the officer on the beat. The two went again to the bag gage coach. Both listened. The pound ing increased in violence. "Victor" was sure the body had again seized the spark of life, and a live person was struggling for release from a sealed prison. But the officer made an investiga tion and discovered that it was only the compressed air vibrating" a pipe back of the casket. He left the coach with the wondering 'Victor." "Victor" did not accept the popular explanation. He still sticks to his theory that the woman had come to life, and should have been liberated from a second death.

HOUSEKEEPER GETS $25 Action for $250 Against Employer Ends in Partial Compromise. Juanita Gregory said that A. E. Hock inson, of Gresham, hired her to keep house for S50 a. month. Hockinson said he took pity on her and gave her a home and fed her after she had ap pealed to him for assistance. A jury in the court of District Judge Jones yesterday did not believe either liti gant wholly, but awarded the woman $25 of the $250 for which she was suing. A marriage agreement had entered the contract between the two, the wom an testified. It was repudiated, she said, by Hockinson. He said he had made no promises to her and accused her of being a dope fiend. There was much feeling expressed and the court had to call for order several times.

The Medford City Council has decided to make another attempt to solve the paving assessment problem. The new plan consists of an amendment to the city charter which will allow the city to reassess property abutting the pave ment. With this amendment the Coun cil then , proposes to assess one-half upon the property owner and one-half upon the city, instead of putting the entire assessment upon the property owner. It is believed that delinquen cies then can be collected more prompt ly and the problem settled once and for alL KIXQ COAL. Independent Coal & Ice Company & Ice Delivery Company.

No profession offers equal COUNCIL IN PERIL City Fathers Skirt Precipice, but Do Not Fall. ' LINNTON ROAD INSPECTED Bad Condition of Hillside Boule vard Confirms Belief That Annexation Acquisition Is White Elephant. Members of the City Council have looked upon Linnton Hillside boulevard as a "lemon" ever since Portland fell heir to it with the annexation of Linn ton. They became, fully convinced yes terday that they were right, when, after having spent 8500 to open up the roadway, they took an automobile trip over it and had many thrills and narrow escapes from accident. The boulevard was found to be so narrow that in only a, few places ma chines could pass, while in many places there is barely room for one car to creep between the bank on one side and a precipice on the other. As built originally, the road is extremely narrow. This has been made much worse by slides of earth and rocks. Just what will be done with the roadway is more a puzzle now than it was before the trip. The property owners who were put in -the assess ment district when proceedings were put through by the old town of Linn- ton are contesting in the courts the right of the city to collect the full amount of the assessments, alleging that the final cost was greatly in ex cess of the original estimates. The city's defense is to show that the prop erty assessed is benefited. Danger Is Acknowledged. It is acknowledged that It is unsafe for automobiles to travel over the boulevard, yet the Council is afraid to close it up because of the effect such action might have on the pend ing lawsuits. The Council members found by their own experience that it would be extremely dangerous for any but an expert driver to take a car over the road, particularly in wet weather. The Council car made a speed of about five miles an hour over most of the course from the head of Thur man street to the end of the boule vard. In many places the rear wheels got out of the ruts in the road and plowed dangerously near the, edge of sheer drops of hundreds of feet. The road is of dirt surface, and yesterday was soaked with rain. In dry weather it is said this danger would not exist. Car PIotts Through Mod. The road, which appears to be noth ing more than a rough unused moun tain course, was Inspected to the north end, a distance of 11 miles from the beginning at Thurman street. Here the Council turned back and started down the entrance which leads up from Linnton. This road was so steep and slippery that the Councilmen got out and walked down, and the car slid down. The rear wheels skidded into the bank and ditch on the side of the road and the body dragging through the mud helped hold the machine back. It is probable a conference will be held to determine what will be done. The date for this has not been set. There is a proposal on now for the city to spend $50,000 in improving the road, provided the property-owners will drop their lawsuits. Whether the Coun cil will now go through with such a proposition Is a question. POLICE ARE EFFICIENT PROGRAMME DIR1.VG MR. HUGHES VISIT MXLL CARRIED OUT.
