Taylor's Trial Tomorrow- Circuit Judge Percy R. Kelly yesterday denied a motion filed by Joe Minton. local attorney, in be half of Fred Taylor asking that the indictment against him be dismiss ed. The motion was based on the claim that Taylor had not been tried at the term of court following his arrest, as required by law, and that his constitutional right of a speedy trial had been denied. The case is set for trial at the opening of circuit court tomorrow morning at 10 a. m. Condit Trial Postponed The trial of Ross CondH, charg ed with a statutory offense, was yesterday postponed by order of Circuit Judge Percy R. Kelly on motion of Condit's counsel. The trial had been set for May 25 but will be postponed until the next term of court. The motion filed yesterday .was accompanied by af fidavits alleging that Condit ex pects to have the nurse of Merle Martin. Condit's accuser, present at the trial. She is expected to tes tify that she attended Miss Martin at the time her child was born at La Centre, Washington, and that the mother told her someone other than Condit was the father of the child. The affidavit also in dicates that Miss Martin's accusa tion against Condit will be refuted by the tesUmony of H. L. Wright of Eugene, who saw her in the company of another man at about the time she claims to have been exclusively in the company of Con dit. A new date for the trial will be set next Saturday by Judge Kelly. Condit's counsel consists of Ronald C. Glover and C. M. In man of Salem and John A. Collier of Portland. The fact that Collier has other business on hand on the original date set for the trial is given as another reason for re questing postponement I Rita Fot DrMiVfart I O- r They are all wet The Grangers who think there is likely to be too much competi tion Teo much produced in the in dustries on the land of the things in which we excel or can excel; that we can produce at lower cost or to better-advantage or of bet ter quality and with less overhead than can be done in other districts.

N V George Melvia Miller vesterdav exhibited to this writer a map of Lane County published in 1886 by Go. M. Uiller. Immigration Agent for Lane County." This man showed a proposed railroad from .ngene to Acme. Twenty-four years later, in 1910. this railroad became a reality. At the same time Mr. Miller ex hibited a map published by him in 1896 showing the proposed route of the "New York-Fiorenee high way. ' That was long before the Lincoln highway was even dreamed of generally. In 1896, tne automobile was still a toy which had been seen by compara tively few people, and the idea that in 32 years people would be traveling by automobile from the Atlantic to the Pacific would then have been laughed to scorn. We have an idea that it was laughed to scorn by those who saw the map. Yet today the Lincoln high way is a practically completed en tity from New York to Mapleton. and it follows almost exactly the route mapped by Mr. Miller 32 years ago. So it seems that after all dreams do come true if only we wait long enough. Eugene Register. ARROW HEAD SPRINGS, Cal.. May 19. (AP) Miss Nyle Aus tin, 17 year old San Bernardino, Cal., girl, today set a new world's record for endurance swimming for women when she left the plunge after 32 hours and 20 min utes of continuous paddling.
