Judge Brown ex pressed himself as amazed at thn dis covery of the storage room on the fourth floor. ! It's existence, he said, was entirely unknown to the officers of the club and he had no idea to whom the li quor belonged. The deputies assume that it was the property of a number of members who had each brought his Own liuqor to the club house and that the room had then been used as a storage room. Club Owned XTo Idq.aor. No liquor whatever waa found in the basement of the clubhouse, where the club wine cellar was located pbev- ious to the going into effect of the prohibition law.

Eugene, Or., Jan. 17. P.ev. J. C. Richardson, S3 years of age, who died in Salem Saturday, will be buried to morrow in the cemetery near Eugene, 1: in home for many years. Rev. Mr. Richardson was one of ear liest Baptist missionaries to this coast, having crossed the plains in 1846. Al though he traveled all over Oregon in those days, his chief field of labor was in the southern portion of the Willam ette valley and in the Umpqua valley. He was considered In those days one of the best evangelists of Baptist de nomination on this coast. He and Rev. J. W. Osborne were the first mission aries of the early convention. While Rev. Richardson had no more than a common school education, he was one of the most forecful speakers of the old time school of ministers. E. C. Comstock Is Injured.

In his annual report, w hich was made public Monday. E 1. Cantine, deputy state engineer, who has been head of the highway dtpartment for several months, rec ommends that legislation be enacted for tbe classification of traffic roads shall be expected to carry and provid ing for the adoption of standard unit stresses and live loads for steel, con crete and wooden bridges, correspond ing to the respective classes of roads. Uniform Daaigna Desired. He also recommends that '.I shall be made mandatory that all bridges cost ing $500 or more shall be designed in accordance with stute standards; that the plans and specifications shall be approved by the engineer of the state highway commission; that a copy of plans and specifications and contracts shall be filed and made a part of the public records of the state highway engineer and that before a settlement shall be made with a contractor a cer tificate shall be obtained from the engincr of the highway commission stttlng forth that the bridge has been built according to contract. It is recommended that a statute be enacted providing for periodical in spection of all bridges in the state by the engineer of the highway commis sion, in company with a representative ot the county courts, t lie compila tion of data in relation to each bridge jind the furnishing of such data to the county court. Change Gets Berolts. Good results have been obtained through an order issued that all ac counts for payments from state funds and also from funds furnished by the various counties, should be prepared In the central office, instead of by field employes, the report says. Cantine suggests that legislation be enacted authorizing the commission to lay out highways and to secure rights of way by deed, gift, purchase or condemnation and to authorize the commission to arrange with counties lor the maintenance of such roads un til such time as a state maintenance program Is adopted. Highways Location Work. When locating parties have com pleted their work under way in Doug- las. Wasco and Sherman counties, the Columbia river highway will have been located from Seaside to Wasco and the Pacific highway will have been sur veyed from Portland to the California line with the exception of a 3ectlon of Josephine county over Wolf mountain and Sexton mountain, where additional surveys will be required to lay out a five per cent grade. Cantine recommends a state bond is sue to meet the cost of permanent im provements In carrying out an exten sive road program, this bond issue to defray the cost of engineering, right of way. grading. Including drainage, and permanent bridges. A portion of the bond Issue should be used, he says, to reimburse counties that have assumed large indebtedness for permanent road construction, the reimbursement to be used for additional road construc tion or hardsurfacing as approved by tho state highway commission. He suggests an additional tax levy for the purpose of hardsurfacing, maintaining state roads and redeeming the bond issue. Financial Statement.

Marshfieldis Wire Service Is Impaired Falling Trees and Storms Be suit la Severing of Wires In Mountains Be tween Myrtle Point and Bosebnrg. Marshfield, Or., Jan. 18. Linerr.en returning from work between Myrtle Point and Roseburg on the line of the Pacific States company report great difficulties in the mountains. Snow was very -deep and at one point 40 trees had fallen over the wires. No sooner than repairs were made more breaks would come in. Linemen sent out from this end met a party from Roseburg which had been working 10 days in an effort to keep the line up. Most of the trees have been blown down and it is believed now the long distance line and Western Union can be maintained. Mud is so deep in the stage road that mail wagons sink down to the wagon bed. Mail is being taken through on horseback with great dif ficulties and only by transferring in Bhort relays. Men and horses are being exhausted In making the short trips.- Hardware Store Destroyed.
