J. M. Martin and George F.
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

it means maiket for all your pro

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.' "
