seldom been heard of. Doyle was at
Creswell yesterday, and as his actions
were peculiar, he was taken into cus

of that city suspected of being one of
the recent escapes from the state in

learned that he was not one of them
but had been in Eugene for some time.
A fter the release from the city jail
Doyle went to the rear of a drugstore,
and with a razor which he carried in a
valise committed a terrible assault up
on himself, although not a very painful
one.
The man bled profusely, and after a
surgeon hail stopped the flow of bliaul

EXHIBITION
CONSOLIDATION OF RURAL
SCHOOLS TALKED
Oregon Electric Surveyors at Eugene
T hat the Oregon Electric Railway
company ia soon to liegin the work of
construction on Eugene struct* is evi
dent by the fact that a crew of engi
neers employed by that company is at
work today on several strecla estab
lishing reference points’ in the center
of the street at various intersections.
Thia is prelim inary to the work of
grading which, it ia thought, will be
gin here in a very short time.
It has been reliably reported here
that the Oregon Electric officials have
promised the rose festival m anagement
th at Eugene people may tie able to
ride all the way to Portland from here
to attend the festival in June. If they
intend to complete the line by that
tim e some fast work will have to be
done all the way between Albany and
Eugene. Tem|iornry bridges ran be
easily constructed across the W illam
ette at H arrisburg and the Santiam
below Albany, but the question is
w hether or not the grade can be thrown
up, the rails laid and track ballasted
so th a t cars can run by that tim e.
The company has crews strung along
the line between Albany and Junction
City, doing p retty good work, but
more and larger crews will have lo be
employed if thia pur|>orted promise is
kept.
As W est Fifth street is soon to be
paved by the city, it is highly probable
that arrangem enta will lie made to
sta rt actual construction on th at street
at the same tim e. The bida for paving
thia street will be opened by the coun
cil next Monday n ight.—Guard.
Burglars on Railroad Street.
Several residents on North Railroad
street were som ew hat scared laat night
by someone who attem pted to enter
one or two of the houses. W hether
he was a burglar, aomc drunk unable
to find his way home, or what, has not
been learned.
