they relate to or have bearing on the
trade work. The course will be three

T "We believe this school will meet the
demand that Is going forth all over
our country for Increased . opportuni
ties for Industrial education. Many
boys wish to learn trades but the op
portunity is denied to them because of
the social and industrial conditions
which exlat today.
"Any earnest. Industrious boy who
wants to learn a trade aa a part of
his education and preparation for life
will be admitted. The school will aim
to a-tve something- more' than the mere

The

to saj
ly at tnis time wneiner or not iney
would ask the next legislative aaseni
bly for aa appropriation for carrying
on a work similar to mai atiempiea 07
the Washington commission.
Oswald West of the Oregon commis
sion expressed the 'belief that the
Washington railroad valuations will be
of value to them In determining the
market value of numerous branch lines
In Oregon. The construction of the O.
R. & N. system in Waahlngton is simi
lar to the construction of that road In
eastern Oregon, and construction cost
of the former can be Justly applied to
the latter. J . . , , ' . .
Tne Washington commission Is to use
Its valuations for determining whether
or not the rates in use are giving tho
railroads 'a fair return upon the value
of their property. If general reduc
tion is ordered In rates In Washington,
the Oregon commissioners believe that
the Justness of rates in Oregon can be
determined, by comparison.
"A reduction in Washington railroad
rates will result in similar benefits to
Oregon, or vice versa," said Mr.' West.
This has already been proved by the
reduction in distance tariffs In Oregon
that followed such a reduction In Wash
ington." -

WREBillll DRY
Water itoard Decides to Lay
fto Jiore Mains Beyond
, City Boundaries.
No more water? mains will be-laid
outside the .present city, boundaries,
according to a decision of tbe water
board yesterday, r rather by an in
decision, because the vote to estab
lish mains outside the city -was s tie
and Mayor Lane declared the mo
tion lost. Mayor Lane refused to
vote'on the motion, declaring that
it was unnecessary, inasmuch as the
motion had failed to carry.
The action was taken because of
a petition from two property owners
living just east of the city asking
that they be -granted extensions from
the city's water system. The ; peti
tioners showed that residents sur
rounding them were supplied . from
the main and asked that they be al
lowed the same privileges. The
main runs through one of the peti
tioner's property and several of the
members -of the board thought him
entitled to the use of city water.
Three votes were necessary to carry
the motion, but only two were forth
coming. Mayor Lane teld the members that It
the. motion was put,., throwing the
proposition wide open and granting ex-
.tensions to everybody who applied, he
would be willing to vote for It; but. in
asmuch as It was a special privilege,
he would not listen to It.
R. D. Montague, special counsel em
ployed by the board In regard to the
ordinance of the Mount Hood Railway
power company, made a report yes
terday In which he advocated several
changes in the measure before it Is
passed- The board took the matter
under advisement and will take ud the
changes at a later meeting.
The board authorised the employment
of three fire inspectors to work in the
Bull Run reservation. A contract for
2,100 feet of wood pipe, to cosi I72J,
was let to the National Wood Pipe com
pany. The board turned down a petition
from a number of large business firms,
asking to be relieved from paying the
water tax of J6- a month for stand
pipes. The petitioners claimed that the
water was to oe used solely for fire
protection, and that the board - should
not charge them for the water. The pe
titioners were: Willamette Tent &
Awning company, Marshall-Wells com
pany, Olds, wortman fc ning, Meier &
Fank company. Wadharas & Co., Mason.

llarriman Officials Learc to
Make an Investigation of
, Eastern Oregon Traffic.
Three crews of engineers are working
out of Alturas, northernCalifornta, run
ning permanent location lines for the
Goose Lake A Southern railroad recent
ly, Incorporated by E. E. Calvin, general
manager of the Southern Paclflc'a Call
fornia lines, William Hood, chief engl
neer. and other Southern Pacific offl
Ctals. Tomorrow K. Miller, general
freight agent of the Harriman lines in
the. northwest, will leave for Lakovtew
to make an examination of the traffln
producing capabilities of the southern
Oregon region east of the Cascades.
Mr. Miller will be-accompanied by two
assistants in tne rreignt trarnc depart
ment, and they expect tomake a thor
ough Investigation of the country tribu
tary 10 iaxeview, to wnicn point nu
merous Harriman railroad surveys now
point. The Oregon Eastern haa com
pleted permanent locations for three
lines converging from Lakevlew, to the
west, the northwest and the northeast,
and Is now running a Una from Lake
view south to the Pitt river and thence
to Anderson, a main Una station six
miles south or Redding.
Mr. Miller's trip to Lake county
means. It. is said, that the Southern Pa
cific will this - year begin construction
of a railroad to tap the Lake and Har
ney county regions at Lakevlew, and an
effort will be made to reach that point
ahead of the Nevada, California &. Ore-
?on, a line now being built northward
rom Madeline, supposedly by the West
ern Pacific.
It Is realized by railroad traffic men
that the road which first reaches Lake
view will reap the reward of a large
traffic which already centers there from
a productive country covering, a radius
of 100 miles to the north, east and west.
It Is estimated by the railroad people
ttiat this trafflo will be more than dou
bled within the next two years as a
result of the opening and sale of the
old - Oregon"- Military Road land grant
which embraces 300,000 acres of that
region. . 1

lost their case and received a -rebuke
from tha , supreme court In addition.
"The appellants' brief is so rambling."
says the supreme court in its decision,
"so vituperative and discourteous to ths
friar court that, had there been a mo
tion to strike it. the motion would nrob.
ably have, been sustained, as a brief of
this kind has no nlaca In tha rw.nrda
of this court" -
Tbe case is one In which the Amerl

after paying a Judgment of $1,127.6$, ob
tained Abel H. Dufur in a replevin suit,
sued and obtained a similar judgment
against Dufur, he having signed the

The Judgment waa obtained by the

the trial court having overruled several
demurrers and motions and stricken th
