Portland Municipal Judge Hogue fines a wood firm five dollars for sidewalk obstruction, ruling the act exists where travel is light and public protection only in case of inconvenience. In Eugene, a drunken man sleeping on the sidewalk is released when authorities deem lying lengthwise not an obstruction, a decision followed by the officer fatally shooting him at the Hoffman house corner weeks later.

Smoke over the valley hides crops and timber
The piece recalls a smoky season after heavy rains when a dense haze covered the Willamette Valley.
