Final negotiations ard pending says the Coryallis Gazette for the transfer of the Benton County Flouring Mills from the present owners, Punderson Avery, Gibson & Rickard, to the Fisher estate The price is not given, but it will be in the neighborhood of 118,000, August Fischer is doing the pur chasing not for himself but for the estate. It is pointed out that bus iness is not sufficient to justify the existence of two mills, and that both are running at a loss. The big Fischer mill is fully able to grind all the wheat grown in Ben ton county and much more besides It is the purpose of Mr, Fischer to put his mill into firstclass run ning order and handle as much of the grain as possible, and when necessary only, to ran both. The Avery mill will be open all the time, however, to receive grain and give out sacks. The new firm will be known as the Corvallis Flouring Mills, Telephones Down. With the expiration of their year's subscription to the Bell tel ephone system, 18 subscribers in the vicinity of Lewis ville, took down and returned their 'phones this week. This leaves about 20 people in that locality without tele phone connection They are now open for communication with what eyer enterprising town that is wil ling to meet them half way. r WEST Sim ENTERPRISE, STATEJjEAGUE. Hon, E. L. Smith of Hood River Heads the New Or ganization Which is An Entity. A Large and Representative Body of Delegates Meet and Success fully Organize League. The Oregon State Development League was successfully organised in Portland this week. The offi cers of the new organisation are E. L. Smith, Hood River, president; F. J. Blakely, Rose burg, J. G. Gra ham, Salem, A. Bennett, Irrigon, J. II. Aitkin, Huntington, J. A. Bowlby, Astoria, vice presidents; Tom Richardson, Portland, secre tary and treasurer. The League owes its existence to the demands of the limes. It is a product of New Oregon. If prop erly conducted, it is one of the - r most important organizations ever launched in the state. It will have a prominent place in state history. It may be a mighty factor in arousing that spirit of civio pride and eliminating to a degree degree, ihat individual selfishness that has always held Oregon back. The League has started off well. For president, a better selection than Hon. E. L. Smith could not have been made. Tom Richardson, with his exterience in similar or ganizations is the proper man for secretary. There were present at the organ ization in Portland Tuesday ar.d Wednesday of this week about 300 delegates from all over the etate besides the Portland and Multno mah county delegates. The con vention was not made up of reck less and irresponsible real estate boomers, nor of men with personal axes to grind. It was composed of j the state's- best citizenship and included some of the state's wealthiest and most conservative and successful business men. Every citizen owes his support to the League. Each county is asked to maintain an organization for the exploitation of its resources, and is assured of the hearty co-operation of Ihe staie or central organiza tions. The resources of the 33 counties as given from the stage of the Mar quam Grand theatre by' a repre sentative of each county, was a rev elation to the delegates themselves and everyone went home with re newed enthusiasm for his state. Polk, the "Blue Ribbon County" of the state had a number of dele- trfitps there and entertained the D people with facts about hops, hogs, goats, sheep, cattle, hay, grain and timber. Polk's representatives were: Mayor J. P. Cooper, D. L. Keyt, W. A. Messner, II. Hirsehberg, K. C. Eld ridge, A. J. Richardson, J. G. Van Orsdel, Tom Graves, J. M. Stark, G. A. Hurley, J. N. Hart. Died T. F. Fisher, who was formerly employed in the F. A. Doughty store here, died in McMinnville Friday of brain feyer. Mr. Fish er's home was in Portland but for sometime past has teen with Jac- obson & Company at McMinnville. Mrs. Fisher and their little daught er were at long Beach at the time of his death which was very sud den. The remains were taken to Portland for burial. Ladle's Fall Hats.

The Plant of Williamt Bros, at Grants Pa to be Removed to Some Point Accessible to Timber. T IT Willinrnu rifihn Williams k Bros. Door it Lumber Co at Grants Pass was In town Wednesday mo- ing for a location for their lumber manufacturing plant. Timber accessible to the Will iams plant in the vicinity of Grants Pass, is practically exhausted and the proprietors have decided to re move to a new locality, where they may be closer to timber. Mr. Williams made inquiries here and stated that if logs can be had delivered at a reasonable price, that he is satisfied with this loca-j tion. He is willing to negotiate with the proprietors of the Inde pendence Mills for their property if they care to sell In case such a deal should be brought about, they would remove the Grants Pass mill and machinery anyway and establish one here of a daily capacity of 25,000 to 30.000 feet. Besides lumber the Williams Bros, manufacture laths, shingles, windows and doors. Wherever they locate, will mean a consider able pay roll and their project deserves consideration at the har.ds of Independence people. V. T. 1 1 oilman Home. W. T. Hoffman president of the Pilot Knob Mining Co. in Nevada, returned home Saturday.

Mr. Hoffman's report corroborates statements, printed heretofore concerning the richness of the Pilot Knob property. The company, according to all reports has a good property, and the stock is held principally by Polk county people. . Elks' Charm Lost.
