. ' , THE BOY PROBLEM. - A.
It is a matter of regret that sev
eral Corvallis boys are in courts
and jails. It is bad for relatives
and friends, and bad for the com
munity. It is however, nobody's
fault but that of the boys, - them
selves.' Their parents did ' : not put
them behind the bars. The city
authorities are not to blame because
the boys are there. leniency in a
marked degree has been shown the
boys by courts and officers. A Con
sideration for parents on more than
one occasion has saved the young
sters from just deserts. :--, : -
But the mischief went too far. The
limit was more than . passed. . An
assault with the result that a . boy's
lesr was broken, followed by the
liberation of youthful prisoners
were transgressions that, for the
sake of the future, both of boys and
community, could not be over
looked. Hence the reckoning,
- and hence the conditions," unpleas
ant to all, in which youthful faces
that ought to be in .the schoolroom
or college hall, look put from be
hind steel bars, And it is nobody's
JEault but that of- the-; lads them
selves" ' v ' '..-(?
ThS place for young boys at
nighty is the home. ' Mischief rarely -j
;' breeds.in daylight. The ;' presence
on the streets until ; midnight , or
after, of youngsters -who ought to
be in bed, ... is partial source of
the trouble. Means ought to be
found by parents , or' officers, or
both, to see that after nine '. o'clock
or even earlier, boys of seventeen
are at home" where they belong.
With such rules in vogue, the pres
ent unpleasant spectacle would not
be. :

THE ALBANY BRIDGB
Petitions to Benton County Court Ask
The Latter to -Meet Linn County
-7 Court. . '" A'l
A petition was filed with
ty Judge Watters yesterday morn
ing, asking for the Benton .county
court to hold a joint meeting with
the Wnn county court with refer
ence to the Albany bridge matter,
It seems that . those ' ', urging the
bridge question are not satisfied
with the move of the Benton coun
ty court in appointing a special
committee to meet with - reference
to the bridge question, '; and desire
the two courts shall ; ' themselves
meet together. The special com
mittee, consisting of AV W. Haw
ley. E. R. Bryson and Johnson
Porter met with the Albany court
last Saturday ' The - meeting was
merely an informal - discussion of
the matter ."and no. results ' were
reached.' : The Linn county court
in fact manifested only'a ; minor in
terest in the matter, the local com
mittee drawing the inference ' that
the Linn court cared -but little
one ,way or the other in reference
to-the bridge. " It also became patr
ent to the committee that the : said
court preferred to deal direct with
the Benton county, court, rather
than through the committee. - The
committee returned home Saturday
afternoon, and it is presumed that
their report will go into the hands1
of the county court; in; due ' time.
In the presentation yesterday
morningof the petition to County
Judge Watters, the latter made it
clear to the lairmouut representa
tives, that any future move on the
subject must come from Linn coun
ty. Mr Watters indicated that in
answer to ; Fairmount representa
tions the court 1 had appointed a
committee to meet with the , Linn
county court, and that as far as he.
could learn, the committee had in a. j
sense, been ignored. Under , tne
circumstances,. Judge Watters said
it was improper for Benton county
to make any further advances, ana
that as far as he is ( -concerned
none jcvould be made. Linn coun
ty would have, he said, to make the
next advance ;The petition pre
sented by Mr Lee per is as follows:
' Your petitioners most earnestly
ask that you will take r immediate
action with the Linn county -. court
to have the toll taken off the Al
bany bridge- Your petitioners re
present that it Is a matter of vital
importance to them . that whatever
action is taken , should be taken
without delay, so that the petition
ers may not be deprived of the op
portunity of seeking redress, of
what they consider grievous wrongs
in some other way, if relief is . de
nled'them by the honorable county
courts above named, and to that
end the petitioners ask that some
definite action be taken, touching
the matter of said bridge and the
ferry at Corvallis and the - rights
and equities of said counties in
maintaining said bridge and ferry
and the- base - of - such ; equities,
whether said toll is - at this time
is removed or not, The eole ob
ject hereof .' is to precipitate some
early action on the part of said
courts covering all and singular
of the matter in the premises."
Duridg Monday five citizens of
Fairmount precinct were canvass
ing the northern part of the connty
for signatures, and M. V, Leeper
spent a portion of the same day at
the same work in Corvallis. The
petitions' were generally signed,
most people taking the view that
a discussion of the matter by the
courts of the counties and an. en
deavor to arrange a basis by which
citizens of the northern portion of
Benton might get relief from what
is certainly a burdento them now,
could do no harm. . The Corvallis
signatcres comprised - many busi
ness and professional men and
others. ' ' '
'.; Concerning the matter Mr'Xeep
er said the people of the north end
of the county have, no desire to be
joined to Linn county. . They de
sire to remain in . Benton, ' The
purpose of the present movement
he said, is to get the toll removed
from Albany bridge. Citizens in
Fairmount precinct - contributed
large sums toward the construction
of the bridge with the understand
ing that it should be maintained
as free bridge, 'After nine years
of freedom the bridge was made a
toll affair . two years " ago, ; ' and of
the thousands of dollars since coft
lected for crossing it, full four-1
fifths comes Out of the pockets of
Benton county citizens, ; . mainly
from those residing in Fairmount
precinct, " and all this after the lat
ter put up their money for the or
iginal construction of the "; bridge.
At the same" time, he ' said the
people of the same section are tax
ed for building and maintaining
bridees in other portions ' of Ben
ton county,' and for a free ferry at
Corvaliis. ; 'All we ask" said Mr
Leeper, is to be given the same
right and the same privileges that
are given other citizens of our
county, we petition for nothing
more ,'-
LYFORD in JAIL- -
Has been Captured in Indian Territory
Former Coryallis Man in Trouble.
Albert E. Ly ford , for m erly sec--retary
and cashier of the Corvallis
carriage Factory Company, is accor
ding to dispatches, in the - toils of
the law: ' Times r readers ' will " re
member that he absconded a iew
months ' ago' 1 from ' Rock' Island,'
Illinois, where, as deputy -county
treasurer,' he was' alleged1 to be
about $10,000 short "in ' his ac
counts. The word .""came to Cor
vallis' in a letter from the sheriff at
Rock Island to the chief of police
notifying him of ; Ly ford's dissap
pearance, and of the amount of ; the
shortage. ""The letter also said that
T vfrirA 'rAaime' tn hatr Tnininor
properties in Oregon,' and that it
was expected he would - return to
this state. The following dispatch;
which appeared in : Sunday's Ore
gonian, i seems to " indicate J that
Lyford has been captured in Indian
Territory, and that he is in a ' fair
way to be confronted in court with
a serious charge against him. ; :
Springfield, HI., Jan.! 17. Gov
ernor Yates today issued a requisi
tion on . the i Governor of Indian
Territory for the extradition of Al
bert L. Elford, ex-assistant County
Treasurer of Rock Island , County.
He is now under arrest in ' Miami,
I. T. Elford, it is alleged, embez
zled $10, 000 of funds of Rock Island
County last September, , . "' :
The name "A E Elford'' in the
dispatch is thought here to certainly
indicate that the requisition is for A
LE Lyford, and that the difference in
name is due to error, in transmission
by telegraph' or otherwise, or I to - a
change of name by the missing
officiaL The amount of the embez
zlement, and the deputy County
treasurership of Rock Island V make
it certain that the captured man is
none other than, the - former Cor
vallisite. - r-
