Saturday in a renewal of hostilities growing out of tho
grand jury's gambling and graft investigation. Thesa
were the developments:
1. Judge Ashurst signed an order re-submitting mal

will appoint a disinterested attorney as special prose

Resentment and suspicion in
Altamont prompted County Clerk
Mae K. Short to make public a
statement Saturday that she had
nothing to do with publishing the
notice of election and final order
for proposed Altamont Sanitary
district in the Chiloquin Review,
a paper far removed from the
district in question with little or
no circulation there.
Mrs. Short stated that numer

office over the matter, and that
only Saturday a delegation came
to the courthouse to find out
why the notices had not been
published in local papers circulat

The riot was the climax so far
of tho bitter personal feeling de
veloping out of the scrap between
craft and industrial unionists
over how mass production in
dustry employes should be or
ganized, '
The Industrial unionists were
soundly trounced In the test vote
on this principal Wednesday
night, but they have continued
to seek their goal by asking the
convention to give unrestricted
Industrial union charters to spec
ific industries.
It wns out of a fight of this
kind regarding the rubber in

Ashurst pointed out that no In
