Attorney J. S. Medley is just in receipt of an opinion rendered by Attorney General Crawford, in which he holds that the State Railroad Commission has no juris diction over public or private wagon road crossings, over rail road right-of-ways, the jurisdiction in such cases being invested in tlie county courts of the various coun ties of the state. This question arose over the complaint being filed with the Railroad Commis sioners from Cottage Grove in which case complainant sought to require the O. & S. E. railroad to construct and maintain a private wagon road crossing over their right-of-way for his personal use. Attorney Medley maintained that the Railroad Commission had no jurisdiction in the matter and his contention is supported by the at torney general, and the case, as a result, has been dismissed by the State Railroad Commission. In Roseburg’s red-hot municipal election held last Monday the moss- back and whiskey element suffered defeat together, the ticket favora ble to street paving and the en forcement of the local option law winning by a large majority. Com menting on the result of the elect ion the Roseburg Review says: “ If anyone thinks he can oper ate a “ blind pig” or do any “ boot legging” in Roseburg during the administration of Mayor Haynes, lie will soon find that he has a very different ‘think coming. The law will be enforced. During the strawberry carnival in Roseburg last May The Knocker was buried. A few more tons of earth were piled on him at last Monday's election. More streets will be paved next season.” Dr. F. W . Haynes was elected mayor, Attorney A . N. Orcutt, re corder aud Attorney Elbert Her mann, treasurer. t A VERY ARTISTIC WINDOW DISPLAY E. E.

WHEELER - THOMPSON “W E HAVE IT FOR L E S S ’ COMPANY made in the camp, Mr. Lilly said he knew of none, and seemed to greatly depreciate the fact that wild aud uufouuded rumors of this kind were being continually sprung on this mining camp, which he says has a tendency to discredit the district and create the im pression among actual mining men that it is only a wildcat or boom mining camp. He says the various mine holders are pegging away developing and putting their properties in better shape for active operations when that stage in the game is reached. Mr. Lilly has been developing his property and working in this camp for many years and has more faith in the ultimate successful outcome of the Bohemia mining district today than ever before. He called attention to the fact that a local professional man some time ago invested $600 in a one- half interest in a certain quartz mining claim for which $12,000 was offered soon thereafter but re fused, and that today this property is worth every cent of $40,000. He says that some outside pros pectors after investigating certain other mining property in this dis trict recently found prospects which so much pleased them that they offered $10,000 for a single claim, which proposition was not entertained. lie says he only mentions these facts to prove that Bohemia mining pro|>erty is begin ning to advance in valuation along with other property interests of this part of the state and its value as a safe aud profitable investment is becoming generally recognized. “ Bohemia will yet make good,” exclaimed Mr. Lilly as he con cluded his interview with the leader man. &>-****-:
