ings built of stone to give thera a
more imposing - appearance. What
we saw demonstrated to us that the
Agricultural, College is thoroughly
equipped for giving young men
and women of Oregon a practical

Want Benton to Pay Half.
Messrs. M. S. Durbin and,W.
P. 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

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. Durbin and
Small deny most emphatically
that this is so; that is, not. to
their knowledge. .

this further information touching j
the subiect of the bridge: - ' I
A delegation Ol larmers irom j
the Eortll end Ot Uenton county 1

waited 011 the Benton county
court, csking that county to as
sume the maintenance of the
steel bridge over the Willamette
river jointly v'ith Linn county.
They-report the county willing
to do this and appointed a com
mittee of three citizens to come
to Albany today and lay the mat
ter before the Linn county court
and make arrangements for the
two counties to assume the bridge.

Plea for Mining Laws.
The Gazette is in receipt of
the followinsr communications
from Mr. Warran B. Hartley, of
Portland. The article to which
he refers appeared in the Orego-
nian under date of November iSt
1902. It contains much valua
ble and interesting information.
We regret that its length pre
vents its appearance in these col
umns: "
Portland, Or., Jan. 6, 1903.
To the Editor:
It is about time that we as cit
izens of Oregon were waking up
from the : lethargy and seeming
indifference concerning our vast
and varied mineral deposits,
Look at Bohemia with her vast
mineral wealth, also Baker City ,
Sumpter and Blue River. 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.
For the benefit of my. friends I
will say that Mr. Fisk is my in
structor here and is a competent
man to judge as he has, the con
dition of the mining industry.
ltd personated Mr. Wilhelm.
The following details ofj an exciting
cha88 after a banco man, who imper
sonated one of the Wilhelm boys, of
Monroe, appeared in Friday's Portland
Telegram: -
"Detectives. Kerrigan and Snow and a
crowd of people captured, an alleged
bunco man iu a vacant store at Sixth and
Oak streets, yesterday - afternoon at
about 3 o'clock. . The man gave his
name as D. Campbell. He had just
buncoed the firm of Everding & Farrell
oat of $200, and was in the act of play
ing his game on Ehrman & Co., grocers,
when detected.
"Campbell deliberately walked to the
rear appartrnents of Everding & Farrell
and began looking over some empty
chicken boxes bearing the addres9, A.
Wilhelm & Co., Jonction City, Oregon.
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. Campbell had in
tended to return and complete his
work, when he noticed that something
was wrong and started out rapidly in
another direction. Then the officers
gave chase. A large crowd followed and
the man was finally surrounded ia a
vacant store at Sixth and Oak streets and
placed under arrest by the detective?. '
