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

This scoring was asked by local
breeders that they might better .jiuljru
the quality of their flock and correct
any outstanding faults.

'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-

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

to arrive before Tuesday niKht, the
time set for the opening of the bids.

that it is not improbable that the

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.
