It was brought out that the factory has not succeeded f rem the very beginning for lack of proper man agement and that in its present lo cation it will probably never be a success owing to the cloud hanging over it due to business methods em ployed. The report showed that in stead of $35,000 being necessary to capitalize the factory and put it on a thorough business basis $15,000 would bring the machinery and stock to Eugene, put up a building and furnish ample money for operat ing. E. C. Smith, a member of the committee, stated that if Eugene would furnish $1,C00 and a site he would furnish the capital necessary to put the plant in operation.

If the. two courts had met together directly, without any intermediate " committees, they would be in a position to handle the matter more expeditiously. However, the two courts are to meet together in February to discuss the question. It is. to bo hoped they will decide to take the bridge jointly, as that is the on'y - solution of the problem." PLAN IMPQVtMENTS. The Benton County Lumber Co. Asks Permission to Build Fltttneway. Messrs. Ewing and Flynn, of the Benton County Lumber Co., were in Corvallis on business, Wednesday, and in conversation with the Gazette man told something of their pferas concern ing the enlargment of their plant and general improvement now in contemplation for the coming season's trade. This mill has grown to.be one of the largest manufacturing enterprises in Ben ton county. The most serious drawback found ia the development of the business, is the difficulty experi enced in reaching the market during the winter months. . The road from the mill, to Philomath is in a very bad condition during the winter, and if lumber is hauled over it, soon becomes al most impassable. For this rea son the mill is compelled to stand idle during a portion of the year. There is a plan on foot to ob viate this difficulty and add to the revenue coming into the county for the product of this enterprise. If it succeeds the mill will be kept in operation the entire year. This plan is to con struct a flume from, the mill to Philomath, a distance of seven miles. Right of way has been secured over private, property for all but about a mile of this dis tance, and at the last session of the county court the mill com- any, by its attorney, presented a petition praying for the right to construct a fluineway for trans porting lumber along the side of the xJ?hilomath-Alsea road for this remaining distance. " Messrs. Ewing and Flynn state that they desire permission from the court to construct the flume along! the road for a half-mile near the mill and a like distance' leading into Philomath. Neither section will in any way, they sayj interfere with travel. The flume will.be only 34 inches wide and it will be weir covered wherever crossings are necessary. A board walk will be laid alongside the flume and thfs will be a great convenience to persons who have occasion to pass along the road during the winter. These gentle men state that their company will put $ 100 worth 6f gravel on the road where it is traversed by their flume. - An argument in favor of grant ing their petition to flume lumber along this highway, is the great savings tnat win result 5 to the road. One of the great factors in cutting up the road and plac in it in bad repair, is the pas- sage over it of so many wagons heavily loaded with lumber from Dress Goods 50c dress goods at 75c dress goods at I 00 dress goods at 1 25 drees goods at . 3gc 69u 79c 07c 1 oU dress goods at 19 all trimmings are included in this sale Ladies' Wool Waists $ 50c waists at . . $ 38c 1 00 waists at . 75c 2 50 waists at . . . 1 85 3 00 waists at . . . 2 12 This line will be closed out regardless oi cost.

Jackson has a grieyance which he is willing to submit to arbitra tion. The law seems to be on his side, as set forth in his letter to the Gazette nnder date of Jan, 7th, but public senti ment in his community seems to be averse: Editor Gazette : There . appears to be erroneous ideas held by several parties in this vicinity in regard to personal rights in connection -with the road law. A few years ago I set out some shade trees in the street fronting my house. They were destroyed. I appealed to the county court for protection or advice. They referred to an act of the Oregon legislature to encourage the setting out and -cultivating shade trees along the public highways, granting farmers the use of eiaht feet of the road during a per iod of four years. I returned home and set out a few more trees. They were likewise destroyed and run over with wagons, etc., parlies doing so claiming I was obstructing the public highway. I then appealed to the Philomath city council for permission to set my trees six feet in the street from my fence, which request was granted. I set out some more trees with same results. - I also de sired to protect my gateways from becom- insr imoasBible. Everything I would place there for said protection was lorn down, so I dug some ditches that stopped the main travel across my walk and gate-, way. I have had some other trees grow ins and thev are now ready ta transplant. I have already commenced setting them out, but yesterday I received orders to remove the obstruction. Now, what 1 desire to know ie, are my ideas of self- nreservation and setting out trees in the street, in accordance with a cily ordin ance to set out shade trees, and in con fermitv with the legislative act referred to,' wrong? Or are the ideas of the others erroneous? I firmly believe I have done no wrong in regard to this matter, un less it beihat I dug the ditch too deep, but I certainly have a right to conform to the city ordinance and permit granted me to set trees in the street, borne tninK I live outside the town, and the etreet is a countv road. But even in that case, I would be iustified in moving my fenee out eigne ieet in ine street anu net ut . . . . 1 I I J L . . i. Rhade trees aloD2 mv line, and cultivate them four years, unless the act referred to has been repealed and I do not think it has.

Chester Keady and Harry Lyons, sentenced to jail for 40 days for, as sault, escaped from the city bastile between 11 and 12 o'clock Tuesday night. The Gazette was apprized of the offense for which these young men have been - convicted, but-preferred to wait until' the court should in vestigate the charge against them, before giving the matter publicity. Keady pleaded guilty to the charge preferred against him, but Lyons stood trial and his case was heard Tuesday afternoon. He conducted his own case, while Attorney J. F. Yates appeared for the city. In the trial these facts were brought out: Geo. Fiske and a fel low student named Camp, were re turning from the basket ball game at the college armory last Friday evening. They are rooming at the residence of Sam King, in the northern part of town, and on their way home they stopped for a few moments to look on at the dance then in progress in Fisher's hall. Here they found Keady and Lyons and a number of companions who endeavored to force a row. The students started for home, and their tormentors followed. When near the Zierolf residence, Keady and Lyons assaulted Fiske and Camp; knocking them off the walk and breaking a bone in Fiske's ankle. The court sentenced both culprits to serve 40 days in jail without al ternative of a fine. They were placed in the main department of the city jail, as the steel cell was occupied by a prisoner serving sen tence for drunkenness. They escap ed Tuesday night by removing the bricks from the wall that stood be tween them and liberty. Lyons was captured at Albany, Wednes day morning, 1 aad he related the following story of the escape to the Corvallis officers, together with the part taken by a number of accom plices: : While Tommy Cameron, Joe Day, Ernest Stewart and Eddie Wilson shadowed the night officer to give the alarm when his rounds brought him past the jail, lommy Plett provided the prisoners with a steel bar which is a part of the hook and ladder apparatus. With this implement, Keady and Lyons re moved enough brick from the wall to permit them to escape. The crowd then congregated at a point west of town, while Flett and Stew art went to Winegar's stable and hired a hack. They drove to the place of rendezvous, where Lyons, Keady, Day and . Wilsou joined them, and the party went to Al bany.
