To urge the necessity and explain
the importance of the proposed new
Cascadia road, fifteen prominent busi
ness men of Lebanon and the same
number of members from the local
Commercial club went before the
county court yesterday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock, and for two hours, the
principal speakers of the two commit
tees expounded facts in regard to the
necessity of building the road.
This is considered one of the most
important and necessary strips of pro
posed road construction that has come
up before the- Linn county court in
some time. The road is proposed in
a petition which came before the coun- ivieetjng 0f Albany, Gun and

Matter of New Road at That
Calls the Attention of
Road Masters.
City
Judge Bruce McKnighl and Com
missioners T. J. Butler and O. H.
Russell, composing the Linn county
court, went to Harrisburg this morn
ing to personally investigate the mat
ter of a petition asking for a new road
leading out from that city.
The county court remained in ses
sion here all day yesterday. The af
ternoon session was partially con
sumed in hearing the appeal of the
large delegation from Lebanon and
the local commercial club in the in
terest of the proposed new Cascadia
road. At the morning session many
bills were audited after which the
court took up the matter of several
road petitions, with the result that
they will personally investigate the
road matter at Harrisburg.
Many road supervisors of the coun
ty have been in attendance during this
term of the court.
STOCKHOLDERS TO MEET
MONDAY TO ELECT OFFICERS
a highway from Shea's farm at Fos
ter, thence running for a distance of
6 miles along the Santiam river to
Xencers place. This would make it
run on a level with the river, thereby
doing away witli the present road,
which runs over deep cuts in the
hills and which is reputed to be prac
tically impassable in seasons of the
winter and extremely hazardous in
summer. From an order of the coun
ty court the road was surveyed and
viewers appointed to investigate its
feasibility and their report has been
filed with the court and it is under
stood that it is favorable to the pro
posed new highway. It is estimated
that its construction will cost approx
imately $15,000.
It is held that if this road will he
constructed as proposed, it wouM
mean that the splendid summer re
sort of Cascadia woulld thrive, people
from far and wide visiting there ev
ery summer, sightseers from abroad
would go into the mountains for the
benefit of the scenery and to visit
that remarkable shrine of nature, Clear
Lake and other places of interest.
People from across the mountains
would come into this county to trade,
instead of going as they now do, to
Eugene and Lane county by way of
the Mclvenzie route. Ail enormous
trade from the other side of the moun
tains would result, it is held, as has
in times before happened before the
road facilities became so .imperative
to clanger and inaccessablc to travel.
When interviewed in his room at
the Hotel Hammel, Hon. M. A. Mil
ler, chairman of the Lebanon contin
gent said that he had been advised
by authorative officials of the South
ern Pacific railroad that that road
woulld inaugurate a railroad service
to Cascadia and other points in that
section, conveying passengers by a
substantial automobile transportation
system from the nearest railroad
points provided that a change in the
highway for the better woulld be
made. .
"We can't quite conceive the good
result that would be obtained from
this road" said Mr. Miller. "It would
iincrca.se trade, it would bring thous
ands of tourists into this section, and
it would serve as the first step towards
the safe exploration of beautiful
tain sections."
An now it appears that this new
highway is to become a realization for

would act favorably on the propo
sition. o

The leading attraction of the past
week, for many people, was the Chi
cago Grand Opera Company, which
gave four performances in Portland
at the Orpheum Theatre this week.
It was a rare treat for the .music lov
ers of Oregon to be able to hear so
many of the well-known artists at the
same time. Madame Louisa Tet
trazinni, Mary Garden, and Caroline
White were greatly appreciated by
the audiences and all three played to
packed houses. The smart set of
Portland were all out and arrayed in
their very best and with the gorgeous
gowns and rich and costly jewels, the
appearance made was surely one of
splendor hard to describe. 1 he men
must not be left out for they too, with
their dress suits, added rruch to the
beauty of the occasion. Amoner the

Damage Case 6f McGilvery Vs.
Watson Was Set For Trial
This Morning.
ABSENCE OF MAIN WITNESS
FOR PLAINTIFF IS CAUSE
Involves Sum of $570 For the
Erection of Addition to Mag
nolia Laundry Building.
To foreclose a lien for damages in
curred in the erection of an addition
to the Magnolia laundry building,
which he alleges he was authorized
to erect by a contract from the de
fendants, the damage suit of A. W.
McGilvery against Mrs. M. E. Wat
son, as set for trial in Judge Gallo
way's department of the circuit court
for this morning did not come up be
cause of the absence of an important
witness for the plaintiff. A. L.
Simpson, manager of the Magnolia
laundry, is the witness and when an
officer of the court appeared at his
place of business this morning with a
summons, Mr. Simpson could Snot
be found.
The suit involves a sum of $50
which the plaintiff alleges is due him
for the material and labor and paint
ing of the new addition on the east
side of the laundry building located
on East First street.' The defendants
in the case are Eugene people and are
Mrs. M. E. Watson. Richard G. Wat
son, Henry C. Watson, and Katherine
Watson.
In the complaint it is charged that
October, 1912, the plaintiff and de
fendant entered into an agreement,
whereby it was agreed that the plaint
iff was to furnish material to erect
addition to the east side of the
Magnolia laundry building. The
terms agreed upon according to the
complaint was that the plaintiff
should furnish all labor, material and
paint the new structure, for which
he was to receive tne sum ot aty
plus a commission as contractor, of
10 ncr cent making a total of $570.90.
The job was completed October 29,
191.
In 'reply to this the defendants
fikd a demurrer alleixing that the
complaint does not state facts suf
ficient to constitute a cause for suit
against them. In answer they virtu
ally deny every allegation in the
plaintiff's complaint, with the excep
tion ota tew points, staling that the
said contract was for the construc
tion of the addition given to Andrew
Taucher and that it was entirely un
known ami unauthorized that the
plaintiff A. W. McGilvery, had any-1
tning to no wun the construction ol j
the building.
In short it is claimed that the sub I
ject of the suit arose over the fact that
Mrs. Watson the owner of the build
ing authorized the improvements to j
the establishment as stipulated m a I
contract to Andrew Taucher. It
seems that Taucher relinquished the '
contract to jMcGilvcry, who in con
junction with Taucher went ahead
with the work, making additional im
provements, which it is understood,
were not contained in the contract.
It appears that A. L. Simpson, the
lessee of the huildin?. fimires in the
case in this po'int, as it is alleged that
nc autnorizeu the aditional imDrove-
ments over which the difficulty arose.
The case is now postponed until !
tne May term ot Judge Galloway s
court. Hewitt & Sox arc attorneys
for the defendants and Gale S. Hill
represents the plaintiff.
