The special school election Sat urday resulted in a larger vote being polled than at the former election, when the result was a tie, regardless o f the fact that only actual real estate holders were allowed to vote at this last election. It was observed that many ladies took advantage of this opportunity to vote, and took as much interest in the pos sible outcome o f the election as any o f the male persuasion. The proposition was the pro posed issuance o f $40,000 in bonds to be used in the con struction and equipment o f a modern brick high school build ing on the present high school campus or site. The next step will be the sell ing o f the bonds which will re quire little time, and it seems everything will be in readiness for construction work on the new building by the time the present school year closes in June. The election o f Saturday re sulted in the bonds carrying by a vote o f 172 to 142, or a total ma jority o f 30 votes. The opposi tion to the bond issue was prin cipally that it was too much and that $25,000 would have been ample. Others more enthusias tic, however, maintained that the bond issue should have been placed at $50,000. The school board will meet Friday evening to take the first definite steps in regard to the sale o f the bonds. Herman Breese Gets Damages A mandate from the supreme court in the case o f Herman E.

CO. Percival I. Rust and wife have I begun suit against the Oregon & Southern Railway company to recover possession o f a certain tract of land in section 33, town ship 20 south o f range 3 west, which the plaintiffs allege the defendant is wrongfully holding. E. O. Immel is attorney for the plaintiffs. The land referred to in Mr. Rust’s action at law is the small strip occupied by the new exten sion o f the O. & S. E. railroad from this city to the Chambers saw mill at Latham over Mr. Rust’s fruit drier grounds. Ne gotiations were attempted, we are told, by the railroad people with Mr. Rust for a right-of-way before any railroad construction work was Iiegun, but he re fused to favorably consider any proposition. Therefore, the road was constructed through the fruit drier property, pending condemnation proceedings which will now lie forced. Meanwhile, the new road will lie in opera tion, over which the Chambers Lumber Co. will receive its log supply.
