Remarkable Transplanting of j Parts of Limbs Taken from Dead Children. Watcrbury, Conn., Aug. 23. The identity of the two-year-old boy on whom the amazing operation of bone transplantation tor the permanent cur ing of club feet was successfully per formed by Dr. Frederick H. Albee, a young surgeon of the Post-Graduale Hospital of New York, became known today when small Frederick Scorpion returned to his home. The child was shown delightedly to relatives and friends by his parents last night. The little fellow displayed two perfectly formed instead of twisted feet. With out prompting he scrambled into an upright position and tried to walk. The World, last Sunday, told in de tail of the donreful operation; of how the young surgeon had taken bones from the bodies of two healthy chil dren who had died suddenly by stran gulation, kept them in cold storage; reshaped them to lit the bones which were deficient in the naturally crip pled feet of the little boy, inserted these bones, kept the tiny feet in plas ter casts for a week and then knock ed the plaster off and revealed to the admiration of other surgeons and the joy of the child's parents the little fellow's feet, reshaped to the perfect ly normal. It appears that the Scorpion family have a double cause of gratitude for the young surgeon's skill, for not only was their baby son, Freddie, born with deformed feet, but also was their seven-year-old son. Anthony Albert. The surgeon's workin this case was equally notable and successful.

TEST CASE 15 MLtU KYLUUblUN Dispute Between Property Own ers and Oregon Power Co. Goes to Court. PLAINTIFF WOULD MAN DAMUS CORPORATION Owners of Property in Paving District Will Be Affected by Determination of Suit. Claiming that the Oregon Power Company has not complied with the franchise which provides that all wa ter mains are to be placed two feet below the established grade and that the defendant company wrongfully refused to connect the plaintiff with the water main at the corner of Fourth and Jackson streets, M. O, Logston today filed a complaint which when passed upon by the court, will settle a question which has lor a long time been a matter of dispute between the property owners in the paving dis trict and the Oregon Power Company. 1 he title ot the ease is Al. . Logs- ton and Claude Logston vs. the Ore gon Power company, and in their complaint the plaintiffs make the fol lowing allegations: That some live years ago the plain tiffs connected their premises in block 23. at the corner of Fourth and Jack son streets, with the water system tip crated by the defendant company and since said date have paid all tolls ex acted by the company; that during the month of June the plaintiffs paid the sum of $3.00 for the summer's irri gation and one month's rent in ad vance for water for domestic purpos es; that during the mouth of July the defendant wrongfully severed the con nection of the plaintiffs' pipe with said main and refused and still refuses to connect the same. The plaintiffs ask for a writ of mandamus to compel the defendant company to connect I he pipes and fur nish the water. Weatheriord & Weather ford are representing the plaintiffs in the suit. It is understood that the Oregon Power company en tends that it is not obliged to pay for the connection because of the order of the city coun cil which compels them to lower their mains preparatory lor the paving. The outcome of thc case will be watched with interest by the people of Albany who reside in the paving district. A large number of citizens have already made thc connection with the water mains at their own expense, but some of them arc said to be waiting the outcome of thc test case which was filed today.

Says President. ROAD HAS 125 EMPLOYEES RESIDING IN THIS CITY Monthly Payroll is $10,000 Other Interesting Data Given Out by Official. A representative of this paper called upon J. K. Weathcrford, president of the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad com- , pany, for such information as might be of interest to the public, and to as certain what the company expected to dy by way of increasing its busi ness in the future, and incidentally to learn if there was any truth in the published rumor to the effect that this line had been leased to the Northern Pacific railroad. We were informed lhat so far as the lease is concerned that it was simply an idle rumor without foundation. We also learned that during the last year, the business of the road has in creased quite materially, and the com pany, for the purpose of keeping up with the advance that has been made i:; the country, is continually improv ing its road. During the past year it has increased its working force about J5 per cent, and it will probably in crease more than that during the com ing year. It has added much new ma chinery to its shops, and employed more men than at any time m the past. At the present time there are more than 50 mechanics actually en gaged in the repair and construction of cars ami other railroad equipment at its Albany shop. The probabilities are that during the coming year the shops themselves will have to be in creased in dimensions, and the num ber of mechanics increased from 25 to 50 per cent. The company is now employing 125 men who are actually residents, and most of them heads of families, in the city of Albany. 1 his does not include the various employees along the line in Benton, Lincoln ami Marion coun ties, but those who reside in the city of Albany. There is actually paid to these men in the neighborhood of ten thousand dollars per month, and as the business increases it will be necessary to in crease this force from time to time. There is probably no other single es tablishment having as large a payroll as i his company within the city of Al bany. The business of the road centers in Albany, and I he country it traverses is supplied from Albany merchants. The road extends for about sixfy miles east of Albany, and after it leaves the town of Lyons it depends entirely upon the products of the for est for its business. This is being developed more ami more each year, and the prospects for further devel opment in the manufacture of lumber are extremely Mattering. On the western portion of the road, the business has been gradually in creasing along jill of the lines, but one of the most promising features is the shipment of saw-logs from thc coast mountains to the sawmills of Albany. It is possible that this trade could he increased to one of great importance to the city. If this proves profitable, the road will extend into the forests tributary to it on the west end, and thereby developing the country as well as building up this city ami in creasing its industries. It is generally understood that thc line will be extended from its west ern terminus, Yaquina, to Newport, with branch lines extending into thc timber in the Mary's Peak district, and possibly into the Siletz country. The records of the company show that more people arc coming to Al bany fiver this route than at any time heretofore, bringing the business of the surrounding country to our city. The probabilities are that thc road will be electrified between Corvallis and Albany and the line extended from some place near Albany to a connection with the west side road at a point not far from Wells or Stiver station. STEAMER WILLMANIA LOADED WITH CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT BEACHED The steamer Willamina, load ed with engines and construc tion equipment for the Eugene & Coos Bay Railroad, was beach ed at a point near Florence early yesterday morning while at tempting to make the harbor. Full particulars of thc accident could not be learned but it is said to be due to a heavy fog which enveloped the coast line near Florence yesterday. Kenneth McLennon was numbered among the Albany residents who spent Sunday at Newport, Miss Dti Bois of San Francisco has arrived in the city to take charge oi thc trimming in the millinery depart ment at S. E.. .Young & Son's. Miss Du Bois was trimmer in one of the largest stores al San Francisco for three years. From there she went to Portland where she took charge of one of the trimming departments at Lipman and Wolf's. Young's store is certainly to be congratulated on se curing the services of such a high clans trimmer.
