The ordinance requires that the cor

shall be at least IS inches below the
established grade of the street. The
penalty attached to the ordinance for
failure to carry out its provisions
withirt the required time is a fine of
not less than $50, or more than $100.
Each day's delay shall be deemed a

LEBANON LUMBER COMPANY
ESTABLISHES NEW YARD HERE
Office Building and Stock Sheds
Are Nearing Completion and a
Switch Will Be Built.
J. F. Watson, local manager tor the :
Lebanon Lumber Company, is being
kept pretty busy these days looking
after the construction of several build
ings for the lumber company which
are being erected upon the half block
on Lafayette street between Water
and First streets which was recently
purchased by the company for a lum
ber yard.
A handsome office building con
taining several rooms has been erect
ed on the First street side of the
property while several large and com
modious stock sheds are now under
course ot construction near the Cor
vallis & Eastern switch which runs
along the western boundary of the
property. The office building is of an
attractive design of architecture and
conveniently arranged. It is now be
ing finished up inside and painters
are engaged in giving the entire
building several coats of paint.
Several cars of lumber for the new
yard have already been received and
are now being unloaded by a crew
of men and stacked in the yard while
some of the more valuable grades are
being placed inside the stock sheds
which are covered and will protect
the lumber from the elements.
The company has petitioned the
city council for permission to con
struct a switching track from a point
a short distance south of l;irst street
through the yards and the petition
was recently granted and the work of
building the track will be commenc
ed soon. This will enable the com
pany to spot their cars right in the
yard for unloading purposes.
Mr. Watson, the local manager for
the Lebanon Lumber Company, was
formerly employed by the Hammond
Lumber Company at this city and re
signed his position with that firm to
accept the management of the new
company. He is thoroughly familiar
with the lumber business and well ac
quainted throughout Linn county as
well as in Albany and although the
work of establishing the new yard is
not yet complete, he reports several
sales of lumber and other building
material to various parties.
Yesterday be delivered lumber to
Charles Price who is doing some
building at his home on the Santiam
Road and to F. S. Gersham and S. F.
Smithy, both of whom are erecting
homes in Winona 1'ark, He also re
cently sold an order of lumber to
William Patterson, the local mail car
rier, who is erecting a barn on his 130-
acre tarm near langcut.

SINGLE TAX THEORY FRIDAY

Editor Democrat:
As is fairly well known, Mr. Shields
of Portland is to speak here tomor
row ( h'riday) evening at 8 o'clock p.
m. at the court house on the graduat
ed single tax measure which is to be
on the ballot for the coming election.
but there is to be such a mass of
stuff to be voted on this year we
seem to lose interest in all. It seems
to be a strange state of affairs when
a millionaire soap manufacturer of
the east takes the trouble and pays
large salaries to a number of people
in this state, as is doubtless done in
this case, to foist a propaganda of this
kind on the people here. Like pre
ceding bills of this kind the real in
jurious part is mainly covered up. I
do not think Mr. Shields discusses
any party questions, so that demo
crats, bull mooscrs and republicans
can all meet on common ground on a
matter so vitally connected with the
welfare of the county. 1 hope a good
attendance will greet the speaker.

While playing near the canal on

which she was rescued a few minutes
later by Norman Howard who wit
nessed her fall and rushed across the
street to aid her.
The little girl was pulled from the
water, wet and bedraggled, and erv-
: because she had wet her pretty
school dress. She went home sob
bing as if her heart would break.
Norman Howard, the bov who res
cued her from the canal, had just
irned her about playing near the
water, telling her that she was liable
to tumble in, and had barely ceased
speaking to her, when he heard a
splash and turning about discovered
her flouncing in the water.

SENATOR M. A. MILLER
MAKES EXCELLENT SPEECH
The Woodburn Independent has the
following complimentary comment on
the speech delivered by Senator Mil
ler of Linn county at a democratic
rally held in that city:
"The speech of the evening was
made by Senator M. A. Miller of
Linn county, who discussed the politi
cal issues of the, day. His speech was,
perhaps, one of the best if not the
best ever delivered in this city. While
there were many present that did not
believe politically as the senator, they
came forward and congratulated him
on the force and fairness of his argu
ments. There must be sonic force
and some character behind a man that
has been elected three times senator,
from a republican district, while he,
himself, is a democrat."
