INVESTORS FAIL
FILE COMPLAINT
The district attorney's office has
taken no action on t ie suggestion of
the corporation commissioner that
Jackson county prosecut the Empire
Holding cases arising tn this county.
Such action Is doubtful. No Jackson
county resident to date has thrown
any Inclination to sign a formal com
plaint, though it is known that quite
a few made Investments In the pro
ject. Information received that the three
trials of Empire Holding heads to
date, cost Marlon county i0,187, with
a result of one conviction, one dis
agreement and one acquittal. Marlon
county balked at any further prose
cutions and the corporation commis
sioner suggested that future trials be
.held In Lane, Douglas or Jackson
counties,
JACKSON STREET
A grass fire, apparently started by
a carelessly thrown cigarette from a
passing auto, swept over five acres
of tlnder-Uke grass at the west end
of Jackson street last night about 10
o'clock. The burned area was a tri
angular strip of ground bonded by
roads. Five or six small houses were
menaced by the flames but not seri
ously. The fire department was called and
directed that watchers set fire to the
remaining grass and thus eliminate
a grass fire danger for the rest of
the season.
The fire cast a red glow in the
sky and attracted a large number of
autolsts.
