SCHOOL BONDS
VOTED
T ie V o te B roken and
Thirty V o te s
to
Spare.
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.

RUST BEGINS ACTION
AGAINST 0. & S. 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.
