The municipal ownership charter- amendment specified that a bond issue of not more than $1, 100,000 be floated to acquire a municipal water system. The.

City Might Not Have Had Enouch Funds Valuations set forth by the company will not necessarily pre vail when the city negotiates the purchase of the plant: bat It the company should be able to estab lish, a value approximating its claims, the city would not be able to purchase without voting addi tional bonds.

Poisal, Although this number Is very small compared to the usual mid-May visitors, PoiBtl looks at the situation optimistically and says he believes as soon as the weather Is settled and school is out- there will be very heavy traffic. Most of those who are stopping now are travelers in search of work, rather than the tourist who is sight seeing. Ordinarily at this timn of tmi the .local cUv KTounds has 25 or 30 tents pitched on the grounds, and so far tnis year noi a tent has been seen there. The situation at the municipal park Is believed by Mr. Poisal to be about the same all auto camp nrnnrlAtArs are experiencing this spring, several owners of 'camps about here reporting the same conditions prevailing at their grounds. Two Branches Of i Officialdom Now Battle For Books County and Circuit judges Fire Orders at Each Other in War of Law library; Sheriff Faces Real Crisis and May Seek Advice T17HERE should a law library be placed in the courthouse? u Who's in control of the library, the county court, which bought it, or the circuit Judge who uses it himself alon? with attorneys appearing brforehim? And even more pertinently, whom shall the sheriff obey when the circuit judge hands him a written order to move the library from -its present location and the county court de clares the library must stay where it is? Now that election is overP" these vexing questions thrust themselves before various and sundry members of the Mar ion county courthouse "family" Tuesday and presented the most Interesting event of the week in courthouse circles. The facts are these: Nearly two years ago the county court ordered the purchase of a law li brary to be used both by judges of the courts and attorneys. The court directed that the li brary be placed on the fourth floor of the courthouse in a va cant room hereafter designated as the library. Judge L. H. Mc Mahan protested. His demurrers availed nothing. Now comes the Judge and with a written order demands that Sheriff O. D. Bower remove the library to the Judge's office. "The fourth floor is cold, dark. drafty. Nobody can work there. A man needs the books where they are to be used," said the judge Tuesday. To which members of the court retorted: "We pat the books where they are so everybody ean-f use them. We purchased .the books with county court funds. We're going to hold that they be left there." All while Mr. Sheriff finds him self In a vexing situation. He's an officer of the court. He has an order from the circuit judge. But the county court, for whom he also serves at times, says the order Is Invalid. It's a difficult position for the sheriff and Tuesday night he was not quite sure what he would do. "I'm not saying I'm not . going to move the books; don't say that," he replied to a Question about his intended action. But he indi cated he was not quite certain as to the proper step and with the intimation went the suggestion that legal eounsel, perhaps the district attorney, would be con sulted before the law library was removed.

H. 'Van Trump will continue in the capa city of county fruit Inspector will be threshed out at a public meet ing before H. S. Merriam, mem ber of the state board of horticul ture, here. The meeting Is said to be set for June 4. The move to oust Van Trump is the latest of several which have been made in the past several years, and is said to have arisen out of a recent meeting of cher ry growers to discuss the cherry fruit fly situation. Failure to take progressive measures for the benefit of growers as a result of the gathering is charged against the fruit inspector. Merriam. this district's repre sentative on the state horticultur al board, who was in Salem Mon day refused to comment on the subject, hut it is reported that at a recent closed meeting of the county court Merriam revealed the plans of the public hearing called because of the dissatisfac tion aired against Van Trump. In the past it has been the cus tom of the court to appoint the in spector, but since the appoint ment is usually made on the re commendation of the district's re presentative on the state board, the court has left the entire mat ter of advising the official up to that group. According to the state law however, the county inspector shall take his orders from the county court, but this has net been the practice because of the part the state board hag always taken in the supervision of the inspector's position.

Keene himself has refused to confirm or deny these rumors, stating that he has not yet discuss ed with athletic authorities the matter of a contract for next year. His tenure has been from year to year, strictly on the "professorial" basis which gained so much pub licity at the University of Oregon last winter. The rumors come from various sources. Willamette students who have had occasion to visit the Ore gon State college campus recently heard that Keene was expected to return to that institution next year. He was a freshman coach there before coming to Willam ette. He, however, has spiked that particular rumor.
