The property was owned by Mrs. House, formerly Mrs- Montgomery, how -of Independence. It, was purchas ed several days ago by W. P. Laf ferty. The deed has not been filed, 1 but the figure at which the property changed hands is supposed to be about $4,000.

" Mill -Feed Prices. The mouth of the Jefferson street sewer is a source of concern to the city authorities. The caving pro cess prevalent there was mentioned in a recent issue of the Times. The bank is so washed and caved now that a hole 12 feet square and ten feet deep has appeared in the bank. The upper edge of the O. R. & N, wharf is ready to sink if. further caves occur. Of the two railroad tracks, the one nearest the river is so involved that it is impassable. The washout is within three feet of the bed of he other one. The water from the sewer runs out in a switt stream several feet above the. mouth of the sewer, showing that the sewer proper is either blocked or that the back water from the river is obstructing the free flow of sewage. - It will be impossible to make permanent repairs of the sewer un til summer comes with a low stage of the water. Until that time the sewer cannot be entered to locate the trou ble. Allthat can be done now is to drive piling so as to prevent further caving, and do such other temporary work as will stay the present wash as far as possible. For this purpose, R. M. Gilbert has been employed, and he is now engaged with a force of men. The final and permanent re pair of the sewer will be an expen sive job. It is recalled now that Prof. Skelton, . city engineer who planned the construction of the sewers, refused to accept the Jef ferson street main at the time it was turnedover to the city by the con tractor. - Prof. Skelton' $ object ions were based on the fact that certain cracked sewer pipes had been used near the Horning corner, and fear that trouble might result therefrom. He had also from the beginning, objected to the tunnelling process, reported to by the workmen in the excavations With respect to the latter, he had even gone so far as to serve written notice on bupenatendent btevenson of the contractors, warning him not to tunnel. The council, how ever, held a meeting and authoriz ed the tunneling. It is understood that tunneling was done at the time of building at the point where the present trouble is located, r In Benton And What in Other Cottn , ties General Management and a .

The bill introduced for reduction of the salaries of all Benton county officials, makes interesting the com parative county expenses of Benton as contrasted with that of other counties, and also the cost of some of the Benton county officesas com pared with the same offices in oth er counties. Given below are fig- es showing the cost of the sher- s office, the clerk s office and the total county expenses, roads and bridges not included, in each of the counties of the state. -They are for the year 1903, 1904 not yet be ing available, and are from the published report of the secretary of state for that year. The hgures show that Benton is probably more economically managed than any other county of its -importance and wealth in Oregon. Some of the counties with but little .. more oc casion to spend money, save that they are larger in area and popula tion, spend three times as much in conducting county affairs, as does Benton. In almost all of them the cost of the clerk's and sheriff's offices is hundreds of dollars -more per year than is the case in Benton. But eight counties in the state are conducted on as small ex pense, towit: Columbia, . Crook,. Curry, Lake, Lincoln, Sherman, Tillamook and Wheeler. All are either new or very sparsely settled counties, with but small resources, and smaller occasion for spending money.
