Small, of Fairmount precinct, were in Corvallis, Friday, to in terview the Benton county court regarding the toll bridge across the Willamette at Albany. A meeting of citizens of their pre cinct was held , last Saturday evening, and Messrs. Durbin and Small were appointed to approach. the court and inform that body that the city of Albany was will ing to turn the bridge in ques- tion over to Linn county free of debt, provided Linn county would maintain the structure hereafter. Linn county is ready to do this, it is said, provided that Benton county will assume half the expense ,ef keeping the big bridge in repair. The court of this county told Messrs. Dur ban and Small that a committee would be appointed to confer with a like committee from , Linn county regarding the matter. Speaking of the item in the Albany papers stating that a pe tition is being circulated to have the legislature annex a portion ot the northern end of Benton to L;inn county, Messrs.

These districts alone are worth billions of dollars to the state ol Oregon. I Why, then, do ,we not make an effort to put minjng - at the head of the industries of our fair state. The mining men of this coun ty are trying their utmost to get a bill of recognition through the next legislature, and ';I in my small way am helping roll this mighty stone. This bill if pass ed will give government employ ment to several industrious and intelligent young1-mining men o our state and put - millions into the state's treasury when there is at present dollars. I appeal to the intelligent peo ple of Benton county and es pecially to your representative to push this bill through. It is going to be a fight but we are bound to win. - -V IT Mining men are making up the bill and as soon as I get copy 1 will send it to you. 1 nowever,- enclose the piece that started this ball rolling and ask you for the sake of the peo ple, for their education and for the advancement of an industry, which is, at present crippled for the lack of state recognition, to print it.

When aaked what was wanted he said : 'Why don't you send my boxes back?' "The proprietor replied that it was not yet time to do so. Then the stranger in treduced himself as the son of-A. Wil helm, and eaid that his father had in- structed him to call on the fina while in the city and collect a part if not all the money due him for shipments of chick ens. He said he wanted to buy a bill of goods and he was a Jittlo short of cash. Without further question the supposed Mr. Wiltelm was paid f 200." . v The bogus Mr. Wilhelm then hastily departed and continued play his bunco game 6y. dropping into Maaon & Ehrtuan's, npon which firm he attempted to pass a check fer a large amount. Detectivea Kerrigan and Snow, in the meantime, had been shadowing the bunco man. They followed him out of .the store and op town.
