etock on hand and the cost of turn
ing out the finished product. 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

committee, stated that if Eugene
would furnish $1,C00 and a site he
would furnish the capital necessary
to put the plant in operation. A
co-n mittee was appointed to raise
the funds and secure a site.

"This meeting would undoubtedly
be productive of good in the way of
giving earnest consideration to the
bridge question, although it is a
roundabout way of getting at the
problem. 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

Has a Grievance.
Mr. E. A. 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

Iucorrigable Boys:' arc Giving- tlie Offi
cers Much Trouble.
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. Here all boarded the early
