Thursdny, in uddition to a inrp nuniher of school pupils who wore nduiitled free, many nf townspeople and farmers from KitrrouudinK country inspected blue-blooded birds on display. School Cliildroii I'owls. The exhibit of fowls raised the the the 1)V school children proved much larger than expected by those who hnv the kIiow in clmrne. It was thought the youngsters would show in the neinli borhood of fifty birds, but more than eighty were brought in. These birds were raised from efres given the chil dren by uiembers of the association. More crks will be ttiven out this year, liy this method it is hoped to firmly establish an interest in chicken breeding in the younger Kcnerutiun. Work of judging the birds was com pleted Thursday and the local birds linvo now practically all been scored.

'BLUE LEDGE ROAD (Contlnuod From Pgo One.) to acquire rights of way, casements, and real property within and without Its boundaries for any such purposes, to IsBue bonds for such purposes; to create a fund for the redemption of the same; and to levy a tax on the property within the city for Bald fund to pay said bonds and Interest." There was, in pursuance of said charter amend nient an ordinance passed by the voters ot the city, au thorizing a contract to be entered Into by the city council of Modford to build a railroad from the city to the" Hluo Ledge mining district, a dlstanco of approximately thirty miles and to issue bonds therefor not to exceed $300,000. DlflciKiit Contract. First. One of tho first objections mado by plaintiff Is that the con tract entered Into by the city council authorizing tho building of a railroad Is not tho one which received the sanction of tho voters of Medford. It will bo seen that tho ordinance adopted provides for the construction of a lino of railroad of about thirty miles to tho Hluo Ledge mining dis trict. By tho terms of tho contract It Is only provided that tho Southern Oregon Traction company shall re colve a stated sum per milo. There Is no agreement for tho construction of a "continuation of the lino of rail road to tho Hluo l.edge mining dis trict." It Is true that there is a pro vision that after tho commencement ot construction work hereunder, con struction shall proceed with due dill Bonco until completion. Hut com mencement of work under said con tract mght he for the. building of one mile of road. It would appear that the people of .Medford had In mind to coTistruct a line of railroad between definitely stated points, and Intended that Its construction and equlpmont should not exceed $300, "00. The contract entered Into is not the one authorized. Tho con tract should provldo for the construc tion of the road, and the aggregate cost of said thirty miles of railroad logettier with equipment can not ex ceed 1300,000. Illinium Mortgage. Second. It Is also contended by plaintiff that the contract Is voidable for the reason that the members of the council have undertaken to pur chase for tho city the title of the Soul hern Oregon Traction conipuny to the Hokuc lilver Valley railroad, commencing at Its junction wit h t lie Southern Pacific Hallway trncks In the city of Medford. Oregon, and run ning to tile terminus thereof near the OpP mine, approximately six and one-half miles, which said railroad or.'ixrty is subject to a mortgage of t.r.T.'iOO.OO. it Is apparent that if the city purchases said railroad, the property would be without value un less prepared to assume tho mori!;.n;e Indebtedness. It can not be said from reading the said amendment to tho charter that tho matter of the purchnso of the railroad, nor the assumption of any mortgage indebtedness was sub mitted to the voters. The question submitted was one authorizing the council to borrow $300,000 to build, equip, and operate railroads, etc. Tho ordinance and contract thereunder may provide for the expenditure of $300,000 in the construction and equipment of the railroad. Added to that amount will be the nioitmino in dehtedness to bo assumed by the city In the purchase of the Rogue Ulver railroad. The payment of this amount has not been provided for by the city. Tho objection that such purchase and consequent assumption of in debtedness is unauthorized seems to be well taken. Conspiracy timrges. Third. The complaint in effect charges the members of the city coun cil with fraudulent conduct In this: That there Is. according to the allo cations of plaintiff's complaint, "an agreement existing between the city of Medford and said coiincilmcn on the one side, and the Southern Ore gon Traction company and tho said S. 'S. Iliillls on tho other side that said City of Medford shall not In fact purchnso said Medfovd-.laclison-vllle railroad and shall not In fact construct, or cause to be constructed, said continuation, or any continua tion whatever thereof, but that said city of Medford under said proposed aurecment is merely to loan Its credit to said Southern Oregon Traction company and S. S. Hullls to the ex tent ot said Issue of three hundred thousand dollars In bonds of said city Oregon Traction company or the said in order to assist the said Southern S. S. Hullls to construct a enniiaua tloll of said Mcdforil-.lnckMinville railway to such a point as said Trac tion company may decide upon, and that said Southern Orecnu Traction company and said Uulils will there- Any doubt in tho minds of -Medford officials us to whether bonds could he sold uiuier tho Hanson plan woa dispelled Thursday afternoon, when feuicd bids for tho purchase of the $:ji,U(K retttndiriK hondii author ized by tlu council, to meet the iu dehtcdiie.'ri railing due Miirdi 5, ar rived in the cfflcct of the city re corder. The bid comes from a promi nent bonding house, Aecordini; to City Recorder Fops, ho was asked by the leadinu financial journals ami the leading bond houses I to notify them immediately of the re sult of the election. Following the receipt of the information that the Hanson plan had can fed, tho hid from the bonding firm was forward ed, Several other bids are expected to arrive before Tuesday niKht, the time set for the opening of the bids. Recorder Foss stated this morning that it is not improbable that the bonds will be bought locally, the pas Bage oY the Hanson plan having raised confidence of local eupilallsts, 7 LONDON", Jan. 12. Professor Hans Pclhrueck of the 1'nivorsity of Rerlin says that nobody in Germany wishes to annex Helginm, according to a dispatch to the Exchange Tele graph company from The Ila.ue, quoting the Deutsche Korespondciiz. Professor Delbrueek is quoted as shy ing: ' U would be impossible to put Cier man garrisons in Belgium in peace time, since the troops would not be able even to pass in the streets safely unless the police and 'administration of justice were also taken over. This would amount to placing Relgium nil' der perpetual military law, which is impossible. There is no possible course between incorporating 'Belgium into the (lermnn empire, which no body wants, and evacuating it.' upon, as soon as said bonds are de livered to them, or sold by said city and the proceeds thereof delivered to said Southern Oregon Traction com pany or said S. S. IIuIHs, enter into i;aid further agreement in writing with Sviid city to repay said lo'au in accordance with the true understand ing actually existing between said Southern Oregon Traction company and said lUillis and said councilmen of said city." The foregoing state ment, for the purpose of testing the sufficiency of the pleadings, is ad mitted by the demurrer. Amounts to 1'iaud. It Is apparent that such an agree ment or understanding would amount to a fraud upon the citizens and tax payers of a municipality, and would entitle plaintiff to tho relief de manded, should he be nbio to prove the truthfulness of said allegations. And this may only lie determined by the evidence. The plaintiff's plead ing i sufficient to require an answer by defendants. For the foregoing reasons the de murrer of defendants to plaintiff's complaint is overruled. (Signed) J. 11. HAMILTON', Judge.
