Wittmer of Portland and A. W Fischer of Corvallis have formed a partnership for the manufacture ot lumber and shingles at Wald- port and operating a line of ves sels between that point and Port land. Thev have purchased the holdings of the company that formerly owned the timber and mill on the Alsea Bay. The deal was closed on Satui day, February the 7th, after the Portland parties had made a thor ough inspection of the timber and oropertv. The comoanv take over the gasoline schooner, "The Con dor," which is now ready for its commission, and will build two more t handle the present vol ume of business. The Condor is 150 teet in length and is equipped with 65 horse power gasoline engines These boats will be designed to carrv only freight, says the To ledo Reporter. Mr. Martin, the senior member of the firm, is a practical lumber man of many years' experience, Heinformed us that he was very much pleased with the timber thev purchased. He is confident that a large portion of it will av erage 7"; per cent clear stuff and that it was the quality on which they could make a profit. Tbey will put in a first class shingle plantand put the saw mill in con dition for cutting lumber for ex port, trade. " This cempany fortified "with their own boats for transportation had no trouble in securing termi nal rates on the C. & E. at Ya quina. Tbey will biing a large amount of lumber on barges from Waldport to Yaquina and ship it east over the C. & E. We take much pleasure in re cording the organization and plans of this company. It has been plain to us that the road to business success on this coast lay through our harbors that the water way was the true way. The water way is not only'sumcient in itself but it is the lever, and the only one. that will induce the railroad to give us fair rates. We congratulate the people of Waldport and the southern part of the county on their good lortune This enterprise means a large pay roll, it means cheap freight rates, it means maiket for all your pro ducts.

Tit Iti Yea Hays Always Bsngfat 49 Exam- 'Other The Alaskan basketball team, coached by Claude Swanu, the Corvallis star of olden times, dis banded last week in Chic go, hav ing made the trip from Seattle via Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake Denver and St. Louis to Chicago, playing all the best teams en route and losing but 8 games out of the 42 played. : Swann and five of his men ex pected to go to Wisconsin the latter part of last week to play a Siumber of games there. They did not expect to wiu, according to Swannie's letter to his parents, Sunday, but were playing the schedule on their way home. The games in which the Alas kans have been losers, and scores are: Dallas, Oregon, 39 to 23; Los Angeles (second game played there) 27 to 19; Salt Lake Y. M. C. A., 33 to 31; Baker Univer sity, Kansas, 31 to 27; Kansas City Athletic Club 42 to 41; Wil liam jewel College, 35. to 33; Chicago Cresents, 39 to 36; Chi cago Centrals. 40 to 35. I11 many of the games won by the' "Alaskans " the number of points made by them over their opponents in a single game has been greater than the total num ber of points lost by them in the eight defeats. The record made on their trip is certainly one ot . which both Swann and his team-mates may justly be proud, and Corvallis and OAC are alike proud of the record of their famous basketball coach, who gained his knowledge of the game at OAC. So fi r.s couiri It asct-rtaiv.t by inquiry at itf Cleik's offict the As;-ssit of Benton county i not having as much trouble trm ypar as ussessors in some neigh boring counties are experiencing in their labors. For example, the Herald savS: "A problem now worrying as sessors of this partot the state is bow to assess dogs, yln accord ance with the act of the last leg islature; de-'Unng dogs to be per sonal ptoperty, the assessors are equired to list them on the tax v.ll this year, aud the wav to c assify, describe aud value them is causing an extra expenditure of thought and is adding to the manifold burdens of the assess- ois. uountv Assessor u. u. jvic- Knight, of Linn county, is col laborating' with the makers of tax rolls of adjoining counties on the broblem. "The main difficulty will be in describing adequately this new class of property. 'Rover, Town ship 12 south, range west ' or .Tiger, lot 2, block 68 Albany,' are suggested forms. Or John Jones may be assessed with 'one black water spaniel,' or Mrs. Smith with 'one bow-legged bull dog.' " t Dogs range lu value from 10 cents to $250, , and it is expected the value will be lower about the first of Mirch than at any other period of the year. " The law under which the as sessors are obligated to place dogs o'n the tax rolls is known as the shortest act ever passed by atH Oregon legislature. It 'was H. B. 271 at the session of 1907, an1 reads as follows: 'Be it enacted by the State of Oregon :' Section 1. Dogs are hereby declared to be personal property.' " ANNUAL CONVENTION.

The Rogers-Grilley Recital, at Asso ciation Hall, was one of the most successful cf the season. Mr. Rogers is a soloist of the first rank, and his numbers were en thusiastically received.
