By RALPH CURTIS
When the Oregon-Washington
Water Service . company! San
Francisco office ordered all work
on improvements of the Salem wa
ter system to eea?e Tesday, they
may hare played directly Into the
hands of this city's roters who last
Friday expressed overwhelmingly
their desire that the city take over
and operate the water service here.
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. IS 29
"book" valuation of the - water
company's property here was 11,-
051,289.38. Improvements which
hare been under way according to
the company's figures would have
Increased that figure to a mark
somewhat above $1,200,000.
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.

Only five or six cars day are

very small compared to the usual

Most of those who are stopping

Two Branches Of

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.

WIM'SW
NOW BEING SOUGHT
Whether or not 8. 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.

Battleships, cruisers, destroyers,

current in Salem within the last
few weeks that Roy S. "Spec"
Keene, head of the athletic de
partment at Willamette university
will not remain at the local in
stitution after the end of the pres
ent school year.
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.

There have been in addition re
ports that Keene, after his phe

basketball this year, had been of

Pacific coast colleges. When ques

discuss the truth or falsity of
these reports, and expressed a

appear as attempting to capitalize

All was well aboard the giant

Friedrichshafen learned by ra

This would avoid unfavorable
