Vol. XLI. CORVALLIS, fiENTON : CdmY, OREGON, " FRIDAY, JULY S9 1904. Na G3 Benton County Lumber Co. Whea it comes to a question of "doing things" of "hustle" and "hum" in transacting business the Benton County Lumber Com pany of Philomath, readily carry off the palm. S. S. Ewing, the accommodating manager is one ot those far-sighted fellows, who takes in the situation at a 'glance and never conceives a false idea. The Benton County Lumber company have one of the very best propositions .in the state. An inexhaustible supply of the finest fir and cedar lies in to the east and south ot Mary's Peak. Long before the present supply of magnificent trees is exhausted a new growth will have sprung up to take its place. The company haB a mill right on the ground turning out 15 to 20 thousand daily and steadily employing 30 men. A seven mile flume takes the lumber on its long journey and dumps it down at the plan ing mill at Philomath. The water of Mary's Peak cool and clear as crystal is an inexhaustible res ervoir for any demand. Citizens of Corvallis may yet see the day that the snows of this peak will furnish her drinking water. The market for the output of finished lumber is found light here. It is purchased in Corvallis Albany, Salem, and points west on the C. & E., Independence. Dallas and often large shipments eo to faraway points. The Ben- toa lumber is .always clear and in great demand and it is always a pleasure to transact business with men who are determined to forge ahead. The planing mill is one of the best equipped in the state, supplying all kinds of sea-( soned lumber ready to put right iuto your house. - The Benton people carry a regular ad in the Gazette, it is found on the second page, it is always right there. Look for it and give the company a call. Mr. Ewing will be glad to give you any information you desire along building lines. A card address ed to the Benton County Lumber company will reach the spot.

A. Price on a liv ery bill, and had sold to another party. Price, it appears, was agent here last winter for the Singer Sewing Machine Com pany, having his home and office in a building opposite the Farm ers' Hotel. He kept his horse and rig at Mr. Abbott's barn and ran up a bill amounting to$24.45. This he could not- pay but in duced Mr. Abbott to accept a sewing machine as payment, valued at $25. By misrepresen tation Mr. Abbott was induced to sign a lease contract, Price explaining that it was necessary in order to keep his business straight and promising to give a receipt to Mr. Abbott to show that the machine was fully paid for. This Price failed to do although repeatedly requested to do so by Mr. Abbott, Tputting him off with one pretext and another. Mr. Abbott, - thinking that the machine belonged right fully to him, sold it to Mrs. Hamisou for $25. Price, in the meantime, moved to Linn coun ty but Wednesday night he re turned to Corvallis with an ac complice and while Mrs. Hami sou was out, they entered the house and took the machine away, and taking it over into Linn county and quickly dis appearing. The authorities were at once notified and Price is be ing sought for but cannot be found. . There is no doubt about the agent's duplicity ana he was very unwise to resort to his final method in securing the machine. Price is known here as a drinking man and one who does uot pay his bills. He was working under another aeent by the name of Church at Portland, It is thought that pressure was brought to bear upon Price to either produce the machine or pav the money font Mr. Abbott is in a peculiar situation but there is no doubt about his final justification in the matter. He has sold a ma chine that by the terms of the contract he had no right but yet he owned the machine as clearly as is possible for anyone to own it and yet he couW not show receipt from Price showing that it was paid for it. Mrs. Hamison is out her machine and will hold Mr. Abbott therefore. Price can be arrested on several charges, the principal one being that of burglary. A most enjoyable evening was spent at the home ot Mr. and Mrs. E." E. Caldwell, in Linn county, Saturday, ; July; 23, in honor of Misses Cloy Buchanan of Tennessee and Gladys Cooper of Nebraska. , The evening was an ideal oae. Miss Buchanan rendered several very pleasing piano selections, and Master Ross Everett favored the guests with many humorous negro songs on his phonograph. Mr. Rollo Hulburt sang a number of songs.
