and 14, and all between 14 and 16
who are not regularly engaged in
some useful employment, to school.

Teachers, principals, and all
school officers are charged by the
new law under penalty of a fine,
with reporting to the truant officer
all information they have regarding
any violation of the school law,. and

Armed with maps,' plats and
voluminous blue prints, F. A.
Rucker and'J. B. Pope, contractors
and engineers of the Southern Paci
fic railroad, left Wednesday, morn
ing on a special train over the Cor
vallis & Eastern for Detroit. They
were accompanied by Mr. Walsh of
the C. & E. They intend to go
over the projected route of the C.
& E. across the mountains and
carefully inspect the line. The sur
vey recently completed by the party
of engineers over the projected route
will again be carefully "gone over
nrtd fnrthr detail of the mute
planned.
While Messrs. Rucker and Pope
were reticent as to their exact plans
they intimated that a force of men
would follow them to the end of
the line within a few days and some
construction work done. They re
fused to say whether they knew
that the work of extending the line
eastward would commence at once
or later. From the remarks, how
ever, which they made it is assumed
that some construction work at least
wilHie done before winter sets in.
It is believed that early in the
spring active extention operations
from Detroit eastward will start.
That the Southern Pacific officials
have definately decided to choose
the C. & E. route is now a certain
ty, according to the statement of
an official this mottling in a position
to know. Albany Herald. '
