MITCHELL U
GET ROAD filOIB
Decision of County Court
Means $1100 in the
- City's Coffers.
(SprtUI Dispatch to The Journal.)
Fossil, Or.. Jan. 13. The county court
this week allowed the Halm of t lie
)ton of Mitchell for a refund of road
money collected and used hy the coun
ty during the past neven years in re
palrliiR county roads. The claim as
presented was for $ 1473. hut the hill
wax cut down to $1101) hy tho court.
The charter of the town of Mitchell
provides that the road money shall he-Io'ir-
to the town and not to the county.
I'or the past Heyen years the road
taxes have been collected by the coun
ty and not turned over to tho town.
Rl uiy of the towns In eastern Oregon
nave similar provisions in their rha
ter. providing that the road tax of
the town shall belong to the town and
not to the county, and it is expected
that the county courts of the surround
ing counties will soon have to pass on
simitar cases, as tne practice Has been
the same in these counties for the
county to use the funds and not turn
them over to the town.
The county court also ordered the
sum of $60(1 paid to the John Day road
company on condition that It relln
owlish its charter from the state per
mlttlng it to operate tollroad st
(irarte. This abolishes the last toll
road In Wheeler countv.
The, total tax levy was fixed at IS
mills, which will give a revenue of
aoout 8,000. the taxable property be
Ing about $2.S90.00O. The expenses of
me county are estimated anout J3N.OO0.
This will leave a surplus of about $10,
000 to apply on tho countv debts.

WHY JAPAN PUT
OFF BIG SHOW
)Iore Time Needed to Pre
pare for Other Na
tions' Exhibits.
(Pulled PrMi Leaned Wire.)
Washington, Jan. 13. The reasons
for the postponement of the Japanese
Imperial worlds exposition nt Tokio
were revealed today when a report of
the American commissioners to the ex
position was sent to congress. The re
port shows that the announced Inten
tion of foreign governments to coop
erate on a great scale has caused the
Japanese government to riostnone tlm
date In order to provide suitable ac
commodations.
The Japanese government discovered
that owing to the disposition of for
eign governments to participate on an
extensive scale, the original date of
1912 would not give time enough to
prepare for the exposition.
A hill has been adopted providing
an engineering and financial program
comprising extensive plans for boule
vard and street Improvements and the
construction of harbors, piers and rail
way facilities.. The bill, automatically
and with no extraordinary expenditure,
completes its work by 1916, so that by
the following year the government will
be ready for the exposition of lit 17.
The year 1917 will be the 60th anni
versary of the emperor's coronation.
The report of the American commis
sioners recommends that the commis-
Clicap prescriptions are sometimes
advertised and yet it is just as diffi
cult for a layman to know whether
the prescription he receives is cheap
or expensive, as it would be if he
were purchasing a telescope, for the
cheapest prescription in the world as
to price may be the most expensive
in its final result.
All things being equal, a 'lore till
ing the greatest number tf prescrip
tions can best afford to maintain (lie
lowest schedule of prices. It costs us
less to. fill a prescription today than
it did 40 years ago, because our busi
ness is large enough to absorb the
undivided time and attention of a
skilled force of men and to rapidly
"turn ocr" the various drugs and
preparations used in dispensing. We
believe we have an advantage over'
mosf stores in the fact that our dis
pensers are qualified, experienced,
registered men, devoting their whole
time to this responsible work. They
arc never interrupted while weighing
out 5ome powerful drug to wait upon
a customer for postage stamps or
while writing directions to furnish an
impatient patron with a porous plas
ter, but attending strictly to their
specific duties, reduce thereby the op
portunity for errors and confusion.
We have filled prescriptions lor
near half a century in Portland and
every device, every convenience, every
improvement which will simplify and
expedite with safety this work we
have adopted. It is not strange, there
fore, that ours" is today the largest

DORANDO'S HEART IN
BAD SHAPE AFTER
RACE, SAYS DOCTOR
By Dr. Jos. Creamer.
"I examined Dorando immediate
ly after lie was carried from , the
track. His heart was in bad shape
and he was in a state o total col
lapse. In my opinion, the condition
of his heart was due partly to over
stimulation. His handlers gave him
stuff from a bottle which they said
was coffee. Even coffee taken in
such quantities would be likely to
affect his stomach and cause his cof
lapse. There wasn't a bruise on him
to show that the fall did any damage"

ple (a good many).
