Corvallis Times. Official Paper of Benton Uonntr. eOBTAIXIS, OBEGON, JUNE 7, 1903. TWO BIG BRIDGES. "SaCounty Court Asked to Build Them Has Gone to investigate. The county court is wrestling ith the question of whether or not to build two bridges in the south ; nd ot Benton. Big petitions are in for both of them. One is wanted ' at Liverpool crossing of the Long Tom, aud the other from the - main land across a slough of the Willa mette to Ingram Island. All the members of the court left yesterday morning to visit the spots where Hhe bridges are wanted. They were aprotrmanied bv Frank Miller of Albanv. who is an expert with ref erence to the cost and character of bridges. The bridge to connect Ingram Island with the main land of Ben ton has been sought for a long time. It has been frequently petitioned .for. Its construction was recom mended at last month's session of xne commissioners . cuun uy juuu Whitaker, James. Bruce and Sam uel Reader. The three men were appointed viewers to report with reference to a change of road to In gram Island, and in their report embodied a recommendation that - . 1 T1... the county furnish the lumber and nails necessary for construction ? of the bridge, citizens of the vicinity having pledged to perform all labor necessary to build the structure. The bridge will require a span ed to be necessary in the center of the river as a support, to the span. The estimated cost of material is $800. Until a year or two ago, there las always been a bridge at Liver pool crossing. When the Long Tom got navigable, the bridge then in service had to be torn down. The order to do so came from the Rovernment engineers at Portland and had to be obeyed. According ly, the bridge was demolished, and -since that time the section of coun try served by it, has had to ford the roaring Long Tom or take a roundabout trip through the coun try to visit Monroe and other points. For this bridge a petition, signed by many of the prominent taxpay ers and citizens in the south end of the county has been ' presented to mc cuuit. x qcic ire sikiicis iium Irish Bend, from Monroe and 'from t ti : r Dusty. A thing that makes the members f the court tremble at thought of building the bridge, is that it must be a draw bridge. If any oth er bridge was put up, and boats snouia again setam up ana aown the raging Long Tom, the structure would have to be torn down. Only a drawbridge could safely be built there, for it is impossible to foretell what day or what hour in coming winters steamboats will again go to Monroe. But little is known of how much the proposed bridge will cost but it will cost. COSTS TWO THOUSAND. Without Paint, Paper or Pipes The Bell Residence Work Begins.

Next Saturday Night Will be Rush for Tickets To. Give Play. There will be no end of ' attrac tions in Corvallis next week. -Besides the various events of the Car nival, a play is to be produced at the Opera House by the local dra matic company. The ' play select ed is "My Friend from India," produced by the local company sev eral years ago with immense suc cess. There are many who be lieve it to have been the most suc cessful rendition ever made by the local company, a belief doubtless due to the rich fun and intensely amusing situations with which the play abounds. ' ? 1 "My Friend from " India," is a farce comedy. It was written by a newspaper man in New York City. When completed, he showed it to several managers and they all de clined to produce it. Finally a manager who had met with failure in the presentation of another play turned for a temporary arrangement to "My Friend from India.". The latter, in spite of is original re ception, turned out to be a howling success. It ran for several hun dred successive nights in New York City and almost as many more in Chicago.. It is claimed by some experts to be the best farce comedy ever written, Two influences contrive to. make the play very funny the: lines are full of wit and humor, and the sit uations are intensely ludicrous. Mr. Underholt made a fortune in pork in Kansas City, and went to New York to introduce his family into high society. He has been there three years when, the play opens, and the effort . is still on. The vein of humor thus opened at the very beginning of the play grows richer and richer with sit uation and fun as one act succeeds another. . The parts have all been under re. hearsal for several days, and there is promise that the play will , be most successfully produced. A big house is sure to greet the "perform ance which takes place Saturday night of next week. HORSE SALES. The Demand Continues and Many Take Advantage of Good Prices. , Wm. Frazier, the Portland horse buyer, paid Corvallis another visit Tuesday and Wednesday, - securing five, horses here. From - Rufus Skiptn he bought a heavy team; from Frank Francisco he procured a fine draught animal, and from Jesse Wiley, he bought two drivers. Yesterday morning - Mr. Wiley shipped a fine black driving ; horse to J, H. Skipton. This animal was recently purchased by the ship' per from Monroe Childers. Mr. Skipton wanted this horse to match a black he bought from Billy Knotts a month ago, and it is said they will make a magnificent team. This week Mr. Wiley bought a black driving horse from Joseph Wright, a college student and when in condition ftlwill be an attractive animal. , Mr. Wiley has twelve horses now, including draught and driviug animals, which he will sell when the required inducements are offered.' Bentori county has re ceived many thousands of dollars from the sale of horses this year, and there seems unlikely to be a cessation of the demand. A Sea attle buyer is expected here the first of the week, if not today. . - - NEW DEEDS. Those Filed for Record During the ; -x ; Past Week. New deeds filed for record are: Florence D.
