The distance is 90 miles, and the schedule will pro vide for covering it in a pleasant ride of only five, hours. , The trip will be on the ocean beach with the exception of a few points such as Cape . Perpetua, where a road through the hills will afford con nections with the contigous stretch es of beach. Work , on these con necting roads is said to be already in progress. Four big machines capable of carrying a number of passengers will be in the service, and the run will be made twice a day.f One machine will operate be tween Newport and Alsea Bay, an other between Alsea and the mouth of the Umpqua and so on until the destination is reached. The ar rangement will be such that the passenger can leave Corvallis in the afternoon and reach Marslifield be fore noon the next day. The route will be in operation nine months in the year. The ride will be in the nature of a pleasure jaunt. The fare will be $10. It is expected to have the line in operation before the end of the coming summer.

WelJ as West - Benton Brought $4oo at Seattle. -The prices of horses in Ben ton county are unusually high. but compared with other sections. they should be higher. The scar city is not confined to Oregon. It prevails in other states. Thomas Fawcett, who has- just arrived from a months visit East, found even a greater scarcity there. ; He was in Nebraska, Iowa and other middlewest, sections, and in each buyers were scouring neighbor hoods for the purchase of horses. that, could scarcely be. bought at any price. As is the case' in Ben ton, many farmers there have sold more horses than they could spare and some of them are in actual need. Two Montana men were in Nebraska at the same time Mr. Fawcett was, and went there to buy a carload of mares. They search ed the state over,' and then with out making purchases, went into Iowa to continue the hunt.. . After a week there, they returned to Ne braska where they bought eight mares, which they brought back to Montana with them, paying the transportation price for a whole carload in order to get the eight home, an incident showing the de mand for horses. In Seattle, Mr. Fawcett happened to be in a stable when a black mare formerly owned by Henry Hector, was brought in. The man who owned her had just arrived in Seattle the night before. He was offered, in the presence of Mr. . Fawcett, $400 f r the mare, and . refused it. The same day passing along the street in Saattle was a team on which was displayed .the words "For Sale." Mr.Fawcett hailed . the driver, and inquired the price, as a matt er of curiosity. " Five hundred and twenty five dollars, was the re ply. And .both animals in the team were comparatively small, weighing less than 1,300 each. Horses are horses, and they will continue to be horses for some time to come. ' And when a colt ' from a good sire is, as it is, worth $125 to $156 at weaning time, there certainly must be great money 'in the industry. ' . Notice of Final Settlement.
