The man had been gone for some time when Mr. Beddingrfield became suspiciuos of the com and weighed it. It weighed just a. J, L Lit C Hid JI UO.IL iD IU Ubli regular dollar. as a FORMAL TRANSFER MADE Oral That Had lioug Been Hang ing Fire Closed; Episcopal Dio cese of Oregon Seller. The Scottish Hite Masonic bodies of Oregon now own the old St. Hel en's hall property on Vista avenue, between Park avenue and Main street. The- deal which transferred the prop erty from the Episcopal diocese of Oregon to the new owners was made Tuesday for a consideration of ap proximately $125,000 in cash and property. The property consists of a full block 200 by U00 feet. Until a few years ago, when a fire occurred, it was the home of St. Helen's hall. The Scottish Rite owned ten lots on Cedar hill, just above the St. Helen's hall property, and these, with $65,000 in cash, were transferred by the Masons for the new site. A. M. Wright, who, with Joseph Simon and B. H. Nfcoll, represented "the Scottish Rite in the transaction, eaid yesterday that the houses would be moved from the St. Helen's hall property to the church's recently ac quired lots on Cedar hill. For a long time the deal for the property had been hanging fire, due to the fact that there was a question whether the original deed of the property to the church would permit the ground being used for other than school purposes. This legal question was at length adjusted by attorneys for the church and tht Masonic bodies and the do-al then was sonsummated Bishop Sumner represented the Epis copal church of Oregon in the trans action. It is planned by the Scottish Rite bodies of the state to erect a big tem ple on the newly acquired property. Plans already have been drawn, but there is r.o definite information re garding the time when building will s tart. Mr. Wright said the proposed temple would cost between $800,000 and $1,000,000 and would be one of the finest of its kind in the country The Scottish Rite bodies of the state have grown so rapidly that the old temple now in use on Morrison and Ixwnsdale streets is entirely too email. When a new structure is erected on the St. Helen's hall site it will be of sufficient size to accommo date the lodges for a long period. Tacks Strewn on Highway. Corvallis Gazette -Times. Some unhung scoundrel with no love for the automobilist sprinkled a box of large-headed tacks on the Al- hanv road mst nnrlh of Ihf citv Sun day night, and to make sure that they : A would ouncture the lareer number of tires he set the tacks on their heads. Byron Taylor happened to stop his machine in the road near the little fill just outside the city limits this morning and noted one or two of' these inch-long tacks. The fact that tbey stood up and were in the wheel : rut caused him to look further, with the result that he picked up more than a handful of the tacks all stand- ing up. Auto Overturns, Girl Hurt, Albany Democrat. Miss Velma Gearhart of Crabtree sustained painful and possibly seri ous injuries, it is reported, when an automobile which she was driving was overturned on the road to Al bany. Clarence Rucker, who was also in the machine, escaped without in jury. The accident is said to have been due to a front wheel which col lapsed and precipitated the machine, upside down, in to the ditch at the roadside. Miss Gearhart was pinned beneath the wrecked automobile. News Items Gleaned From Exchanges of Northwest. 0Ms County People Plan ew Seafe oat Kange Loop. Eugene Guard. WITH the completion of the high way between Roseburg and Coos bay this week and the starting of the Roosevelt ferry today across th? bay. the people of North Bend and Marsh fie Id have begun to pro mote a scenic Coast range loop, which cannot be excelled anywhere in the world for nat ural beauties, accord ing to Charles Anderson, secretary of the North Bend chamber of com merce, who was in the city attending the hotel keepers convention Satur da y. Four highways would figure in the loops as mapped out by Mr. Ander on and that it is a possibility is very reasonable because two of the roads have been constructed, the third is being built and the fourth is being surveyed.
