SUPREME COURT PUTS
iSlRG LOG ROAD
Contracts Ail Favor Corpora-
" lion, Says Justice Bean, in
Passing on Case,
Salem, Orv March tl Declaring
contracts catered Into by the city of
Roseburg, , the ; Roseburg & Eastern
Railroad Co. and the Kendall Lumber
corporation void, and unconstitutional.
the supreme court today enjoined the
enforcement thereof and forbade the
Issuance of 1300.000 bond to be ap
plied to the building of a railroad.
On June S, 1J15, the voters of Rose
burr decided In favor of a proposition
te issue bonds in the erum of 9300,000
for the construction of a railroad from
Roseburg to a point on the North
Umpqua river at its intersection with
the .western boundary of the Cascade
ran are forest reserve.
John Hunter and others brought cult
to enjoin the carrying out of the con
tract and issuance of the bonds.
Contract Hot Authorised,
' Justice Bean, in writing an opinion
reversing Circuit Judge Slripworth. de
clares that the contract as executed
is not one authorised by the charter
as amended by the voters, who. he as
serts, did not vote to issue bonds
either partially or wholly for the
benefit of any persons or corporations
other than the city.
The mingling of public and private
funds, as proposed by the agreement
of the city and others, is declared to
be a violation of Article XL section
of the state constitution. Justice Bean
points out that there are no pro
visions as to fixing rates so that the
city could reasonably expect that the
lumber corporation or Its ally, the
railroad company, would so adjust the
rates for carrying logs that there
would be any "net profits, to aid the
-municipality In liquidating the Interest
on the bonds.
? Only temporary Utility. '
"In short the whole scheme seems
to contemplate a temporary utility
such as logging) railroads usually are."
says the court. "With the timber
transported and the leased rails and
the equipment belonging to the corpor
ations removed, the city would have a
road bed, some old ties and a fenced
right of way left which, under ordi
nary conditions would be of but little
value, a mere shell.
Justice Bean also points out that at
the end of 0 years the interest on
$100,000 would be treble that amount.
at five per cent, or $900,000, and that
Immediately after that period the com
pany would have the right to purchase
the line at the smaller figure named.
while the city would be required to pay j
approximately the. larger amount.
"Under such circumstances, can It re
said that the city is not attempting to
raise money for. or loan its credit to.
or in aid of the corporations?" the
court asks. "Viewed from any stand
point Indicated by the contract it is a I
plain violation of our organic law."
a .
Work Would Hare Started Soon.
The question of the right of a city
to enter - into an agreement with a
railroad company for , the encourage
ment of construction was not ques
tioned by the complainants in the In
junction sult,according to 8. A. Ken
dall of Pittsburg, Pa., president of the
corporation, during a recent visit to
Portland. He declared the controversy
bad to do merely with whether or not
the city of Roseburg had made the best
possible bargain. The complainants
asserted that it had not done the "best I
by its citizens that it might have done,
and urged the injunction against is- J
suance of the bonds on that ground.
Mr. Kendall said that the railroad !
project would not be abandoned, even
If the litigation should knock out the
contract, but that a delay would ensue
pending tbfe formulatie fend ratifica
tion of a new agreement fx terms that
would be satisfactory no sli.
Mr. Kendall said thut if the court
should find the contract legal, work!
would be started about May 1. Other-1
wise he could not say when work, would
begin, the time, of course, depending
on how long It would take to draw a
new contract.

f "Indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, nine
times out of tea, due to acidity; there
fore stomach sufferers should, when
ever possible, avoid eating food that lsl
add in its nature, or which by chem
ical action in the stomach develops
r acidity. Those sufferers who have
been obliged to exclude from their diet
all starchy, sweet or fatty food, and
are trying to- keep up a miserable ex
istence on gluten products, should try
a meal of any food or foods in mod
rte amount, taking Immediately after
wards a teaspoonful of bisurated mag
nesia in a little hot or cold water.
This: will neutralise any acid which
may be present, or which may be
formed, and Instead of the-usual feel
ing of uneasiness and fullness, you
will find that your food agrees with
you perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is
doubtless the best food corrective and
antacid known. It has direct action
on the stomach; but by neutralising
the acidity of the food contents, and
thus removing the source of the add
irritation which inflames the delicate
stomach lining, ; it does more than
could possibly be done by any drug
or. medicine. . do not dose an inflamed
and irritated stomach with drugs, but
get rid of the acid the cause of all
the trouble. Get a little bisurated
magnesia from your druggist, eat what
you want at your next meaL take some
of the bisurated magnesia as directed
above, and note remarkable results.

Lincoln. Neb.. March 21. (U. P.)
William J. Bryan was on record today
as favoring the re-no ml natl o n of Presi

of the Nebraska prohibition amend
ment the former premier said he be
lieved there would be no other can
didate than Wilson at the St. Louis
convention.
"I am a candidate for delegate-at-
large to that convention," said Mr.
Bryan, "but If any of my friends who
have suddenly become zrlends or
Wood row Wilson can serve him better
than myself, let them send someone
else to the convention.
"If Wood row Wilson owes me any
thing he has more than paid it back
by giving himself to the nation as
president instead of Roosevelt. Friends
of Champ Clark will find that X could
be counted against him."
Colonel John G. Maher, a local poli
tician, passed the lie to Mr. Bryan
during an argument following a ques
tion by Maher to Judge S. D. Wakely
of Birmingham, Ala., as to whether
or not the latter was paid for making
a speech at a mass meeting last night.
Bryan declared Maher was the only
one who would ask such a question
and that all he though of was money,
and that money would get him any
thing. Maher responded with the

walked away with Judge Wakely.
Later Bryan returned and in a fur

IN our last advertisement we told you
something about the investment of
capital that is behind the Owl
We explained how a stock of slowly
curing leaf valued at over one million
dollars is constantly in reserve to ensure
the flavor and blend of the Owl,
If we call it "Owl The Million
Dollar Cigar" -we think this name will
serve as a constant reminder of the sound
foundations under this famous brand.
.''It will 'suggest the leaf investment,
which explains, why the Owl is always
a mellow, fragrant smoke.
It will suggest the careful hand-workmanship,
which explains why the Owl
always draws free and burns evenly.
. It will suggest eleven busy, well-ordered
factories, which explain why the
Owl always comes to the smoker in
clean, tempting condition.
In a word, it will suggest the sound
business effort and forethought respon
sible for the success of this famous nickel
cigar. So we're going to call it "Owl
The Million Dollar Cigar".

Lubricating or oiling the Inside

The value of petroleum or paraf

The lubrication of the bowels and
intestinal tract,, has been proven most
beneficial. e:.
It has been particularly efficient
in cases of long standing and of the
most stubborn nature.
Taken inwardly, the petroleum or
paraffine lubricates the bow. Is and
softens all matter which has beoome
hardened and caused a stoppage in
