amorata to Portland ia one of the scin
tillating sidelights thrown on the eaae
of Antone Rlbleh, an Austrian, who was
granted a parole yesterday afternoon
by Presiding Judge McGinn on a charge
of attempting to kill his former sweet
heart and 4 man -whom she thought was
more companionable then Rlbleh. In
allowing the man to go free the. Judge
said that it was enough to make a man
mad for another to take a girl from
lilm but the best thing was to 'allow
the girl to go and hot attempt to do
her harm. "Many a man has lost
.money on account of a girl, and the
best way to do ,1s let It go," added
the Judge la a wdrd-of advice to Rifclcli.
.The trouble between RIblch-' and the
girl. Miss Zerio Avanlum, grew out of
his paying her expenses to America and
her refusal to- marry him after her ar
rival RIblch was boarding with -her
sister in South Portland, and It was
through the sister that the f. 1 was
Introduced to the boarder. Tl Intro
duction was mail. The slji- also
showed RIblch a photograph of the girl
and asked him If he would marry her.
RIblch eald he would, and produced
1370 for her expenses in coming from
Austria to Portland. Boon after her
arrival the girl said she would not
marry Riblch, but preferred another
young man In the Austrian colony.
RIblch immediately became Jealous and
threatened the life of both the girl and
the new lover. While arguing the mat
ter one evening In the home of the sis
ter RIblch drew a pistol and declared
he would kill all In the room. He was
pacified, and the next day was arrested.
An indictment was found against him,
"but 'Judge Medina held yesterday the
man could go free upon promise that
he would not molest the a-irl. Attorney
vArmur langguin, -representing KIblcb,
saia mat me new lover or tne girl had
agreed to reimburse the man for his
loss in bringing the girl to America,
and that peace had h,een restored among
all tlft parties. The new Sweetheart of
the girl .has promised to make good the
amount paid out for the girl's fare to
Tortland.

i Portland's, new pure milk ordinance
will become operative tomorrow morn
ing. Inspectors. Biiverwood and Mack
who have been idle since Judge CI eland
enjoined the enforcement of a former
ordinance, will . commence again: their
work of inspecting dairies' for cleanli
ness while at the same tint , admin
istering the tuberculin test to dairy
cowa.
The appropriation to bear the ex
pense of tms work has not oeen made
yet by the city council, but Dr. Wheel
er said yesterday that Since, the council
bad passed the milk ordlnanee he had
ho , fears but. that the money neces
sary ' to make it operative would be
forthcoming. '..i.'iV 'iVt.x.
"There has been enough delay,'! said
Dr Wheeler. .: "I am anxious that the
men'' should get to work and exercise
needed surveillance over the milk .supply-
for Portland. The work of milk
inspection both outside the city among
dairies and cows and in the laboratory
where tests for purity are made, has
accomplished a greater good than most
people realize. We want to raise the
standard higher than before."
- Dr. Wheeler said he would, not ask
for more than two city inspectors for
work among the dairies outside the
city unless, the state, and the govern
ment failed to give the aid that is ex
pected. Tho government has promised
to supply free of charge all the tuber
culin necessary for the tests of dairy
animals. The bureau of animal in
dustry will also supply several In
spectors for this year's work as It did
last year. v Early this week there will
be introduced before the state legisla
ture a bill approved by all classes of
the state's livestock Industry and the
Consumers' league, asking that a state
livestock sanitary board be created and
that all inspection be done under the
superintendence of this Ward, and that
all dairy cows be subjected to the tub
erculin test The livestock board, if
created, will also be put In charge of
the fight to eradicate disease among all
the doraestlo animals of the state.
little Snow at Eflgene.
Eugene,-Or., Jan. 14. -While Kugene
is surrounded on all sides by a great
deal of snow, there Is very little here
and In the immediate vicinity of the
city. There Is much mere down the
valley, also in southern Oregon than in
Eugene, this community alone seeming
to be fortunate in escaping the storm.
Less than two inches fell here all week
and it is nearly all gone, only a patch
here and there In the shady spots being
visible. .

' Will E. Purdy, president of the Tri
.County Push club, has taken quarters
at the Capitol hotel in Salem, and is
preparing for a hard battle in an effort
to get the legislature to approve the
building, of ft bridge across the-Willamette
river at Butteville, Or, The bill
has been drawn up and printed, ready
for distribution.--As yet no opposition
has developed against t
Residents of Clackamas, .Marloa and
Yamhill counties are asserted to be al
most unanimously in favor of building
the trt-county bridge. If buUtlt will
be the only .bridge across the Willam
ette between Oregon City and Salem and
will do much, to quote members of the
push club, to encourage greater agricul
tural aotlvlty in the counties.
One of the strongest arguments ad
vanced for. the bridge is that it is In
the interest Of good roads, and is mere
ly another part of the plans of good
road enthusiasts of the state. Butte
ville is In almost a direct line from
Portland to Salem. The bridge proposed
would be' built near the present ferry
and -all roads running to that cross
ing point, could easily be deflected to
the bridge. According to members of
the push club, natural abutments rise
on, each side of the river at Butteville
to -euch'a height that massive landing
piers will not be heeded. The bridge
will not in any way obstruct navigation,
they say.
Members of the push club are working
hard to carry the bridge bill through.
From prominent men all over the state
endorsements are being received,
. The bill in its entirety follows:
"Section 1. That it shall be lawful
for. Maritm county. Clackamas county
and Yamhill county, Oregon, and the
said counties are hereby authorised, em
powered and directed to construct,
bul)d, maintain and use, end' cause to

river at Butteville, Oregon, to be known
and used as a wagon bridge for the gen
eral public, the exact location of said
bridge to be selected by a commission
hereinafter created by this act, and
the said county courts of Marlon coun
ty, Clackamas oounty and Yamhill coun
ty be and they are hereby authorized,
empowered and directed to make a levy
upon the taxable property of their re
spective counties for said purpose, and
the amount to Be raised by said levy
shall not exceed a total of one and one
half million the dollar on all, taxable
property ' assessed in said counties, ' a
one-half -part thereof to be levied by
said county courts in January, .1912,
and the remaining one-half part thereof

"Section 2. The .-duly, elected," acting

:. Ooes to Ooumttas. ;
"Section S. That the ownership of said

The Girls' Glee club v held its first
meeting after the Christmas holidays
on Wednesday. Every member was
present ' and the club made the walls
echo with, thoughts of "A May Morn
ing." The olub has almost reached Its
limit In membership, When they do
reach It they propose to make it very
bard for anyone else to get in. ' -
The 'Boys' , Glee club continues to
work. They hav not been. doing the
best that they can in the way of num
bers In attendance yet they are wilUng
to boost and" prospects for the new
terra, which' commences soon are very
encouraging. The selections whloh they
rendered at the teachers' institute were
well received, ; the boys having done
themselves credit ' The next publlo ap
pearance will be next Wednesday even
ing when they will take part in tho
program at the seamen's institute
Work has been begun for the minstrel
show to be given in the spring. This
feature of the club-work will prove to
be a great undertaking yet the mem
bers are getting to work with a will and
a success can be assured.

A special meeting of the Girls' De
bating society was held for the purpose
of electing officer The following
were elected: President, Marian All
hands; vice president Bernica Lakln;
secretary," Nellie Parker; treasurer, Ab
bie Morgan; critic; Olga Everett: editor,
Blodwen Williams; sergeant-at-arms,
Gladys Iiuthers; The regular meet
ing was held on Friday. The name of
the club was decided on as "Zetaga
thfan." After the business was con
cluded a study of "Rules of order" was
conducted by Miss Gleason.
The Alpha club has been taking great
strides in development. Three debates
have been held thus far, and the busi
ness organization completed, thus put
ting the society on a good basis. New
members are being added. The debates
have improved wonderfully each week.
But few of the members have ever
had any experience at all In such work.
The topics for debate have been well
prepared and the manner of - delivery
has been better than It was at the first
effort A half a dozen debaters are
ready for the try-out for the Inter
scholastic debate. This" eVent is at
tracting a grat deal of attention and
Jefferson hopes to produce a winning
team. One more debate, a business
session and a social time will probably
complete the activities of the term.
The boys' second basketball team
played Vancouver with a score of 49
to 16 In our favor. The work of all on

they have made a splendid record. Every

opportunity. The team will probably
be chosen next week.
