Hunt, a local civil engineer, has since then completed a permanent survey from Eugene to the mouth of the Sluslaw river. He Is now buying the right of way and pay ing cash for it. having begun at the coast end of the line and working toward the valley. He has also bought large tracts of land on the lower Slus law, presumably for harbor facilities. It Is not known who Is behind this enterprise. It has' been reported many times that it Is a Hill move and that there will be a race between -Hill and Lovett for first entrance to the Coos Bay country, but C. R. Gray, president of the Oregon Electric, who was in Eugene yesterday, absolutely denies that his people have any connection with this mysterious company.

Is negotiating with the board with a view of taking the project off the hands of the Portland Irrigation com pany and says that unless he Is held up by tedious condemnation proceedings to get control of the reservoir site, tha project should be completed within a year. Bailey will ask that the Hens on land be raised from 135 to $50 per acre and that he be allowed to raise money by selling stock, but says he is willing to put the money so raised Into a trust fund to be expended only on develop ment work. Shortly after the return of the mem bers of the board from their central Oregon tour last summer, the contract of the Portland ' Irrigation company at Paisley, waa cancelled because of the poor showing of work by the company. Later, as a means of getting the matter cleared up in less time than the litiga tion necessary to cancellation would have taken, the board granted the com pany an extension of time till January 1, on condition that the company file complete relinquishments to settle out of court at that time if It failed to make good. This contract has brought things to a head quickly.

A meeting of the creditors of Theo dore Kruse, the missing hotelman, is being held this afternoon to discuss what action will be taken toward mak ing a settlement of the 'amounts due them. The meeting is being held in the offices of Bauer & Greene, attorneys for Mr. Kruse, with about 40 claimants representing at least $40,000, In at tendance. The greater part of this money Is due for work now being done on tho Carlton hotel. Just being com pleted at Fourteenth and Washington streets, which Mr. Kruse was to have leased. This work consists of decora- tlons, alterations and other changes and additions to the building that Mr. Kruse had ordered. The departure of Kruse left affairs In connection with the new hotel lri a muddle, which will take experts to straighten It out. It is to find out from what source they can expect their pay that the creditors sre to meet. Gevurta A Sons disclaim any responsi blllty for the work, as It was not of their ordering, and the new Carlton Hotel company, which was formed to take the hotel, did not assume these liabilities, as the lease had not been made to Kruse, and they did not have to take over a former lease, but made a new one. ine question or appointing a re ceiver for Mr. Kruse's property has not been considered seriously as .yet, and will not be resorted to ..unless nec essary. Mrs. Kruse states that she Is certain that her husband's assets will total far more than his liabilities, al though he has not nearly that much In cash.

CONVICT-MADE LABEL The Oregon legislature has no power to pass a law requiring the labeling of convict-made gooda. Such was ths decision yesterday of Presiding .)ude uatens in the circuit court, sustaining ine contention of C. A. Hart, attorney for J. T. Abbott, an east side merchant, who had offered prison-made goods for sale and was arrested. Judge Gatens said the law Is in con flict with the exclusive right of the united States to regulate Interstato commerce. There Is no law to prevent the Bhlpplng of goods made in prisons from other states and to prevent the sale of such goods would be to restrict interstate commerce. Deputy District Attorney Dennison, who appeared for tho state, was unable to present authorities upholding the law and said he was compelled to arree with the argument that It could not be upheld. Decisions in. Ohio and New Tok were presented In which similar statutes have been declared void. Den nlson said he . had consulted' with Sen eca Fouts, who urged the passage of mo Diii in me legislature, and was un able to gain any help there . Tho law was strongly advocated by organized labor, it being contended that prison-made goods should not h i lowed to compete with ths product of laoor. ine errect or the decisions is mai nucn.t law can only be passed uy imigiroH 01 me united states.

Manning wanted Brlggg released on his own recognizance. Deputy District Attorney MIchelet resisted this mo.tion and defended the Indictment. Manning succeeded "In reducing the bail of his client from 11000 to 500. and Briggs was allowed until Saturday to furnish the bail. Briggs, former superintendent of the Llnnton rockpile. was discharged by Justice of the Peace Bell after prelimi nary examination on the charge of aid ing O. A. Klcharda to escape. Richards alleged he paid $100 to procure his re lease, and Briggs produced witnesses to show the return of the money. De spite this action, the district attorney's office presented the testimony against Briggs to the grand Jury, and an in dictment resulted. Manning character ized this aa "nonsense," and said the court would want no ball at all if it had heard the testimony, MIchelet retorted with the Intimation that Manning was "grandstanding." and Insisted on ball being given, although willing that the defendant be given a few days' time to furnish It.

Kidnaping Is a penitentiary of fense and extradition papers can be is sued to bring him here. The case of ' Snyder is now under consideration by the district attorney's office. A dispatch from White Sal mon, stating that Snyder Is bragging of his exploit and acknowledges that Mrs. Walker's swoon was part of a conspiracy with him, Is not calculated to make the officers feel like 'dropping the case. Judge Onntenbeln, from Whose court the child was taken, says-ha suspected from the first that the woman's faint ing spell was part of a prearranged plan. He added that, had his bailiff been present the kidnaping plan would not have succeeded, for the bailiff is under Instructions to keep lookout. In such cases. It was understood the hearing was only a formal one, and no precautions were taken. A dispatch to The Journal from White Salmon says; "According to the story of Fred Snyder, 'employed as butcher by . the White Salmon Dressed Meat company, he sprung coup on the circuit court at Portland, by successfully kidnaping the 5-year-old boy of Mrs. Walker. Walker had brought proceedings to get the boy from his former wife, divorced, I on the ground that her relationship to Snyder was such that It vitiated her fitness for'hls custodian.- Snyder says he had conspired with the woman that during the trial she should faint and In the confusion which would follow he would kidnap the boy and rush him in an auto to Vancouver, out of the Jurisdiction of the court. The scheme worked successfully, the mother after wards picking up the boy, coming to White Salmon and immediately fleeing fgr Idaho, believing that her former husband would begin chase for the boy. Mrs. Walker was keeping house for Snyder near the slaughter house, two miles from town, and the latter says the charges of the former husband are wholly unwarranted. Secures Woman's Arrest. A warrant was obtained today for the arrest of Rosa Smith on complaint of Jacob Von-de-Von, who charges the woman with "fraud at common law."
