Denton went to the car, still on the

the hut and offered some to Frances.

"You will never leave this place
alive!' said Neslerov.
He plucked a revolver from his pock-
ct and aimed at Denton.
A woman standing near held out her
hands and caught the form of Frances
and bore it into her house. Denton,
with flashing eyes, leaped forward and

The pistol fell from the grasp Of Me-
slerov, and the whip before welded
by Denton dropped to the ground.
The iron fingers Of Denton would
close on the throat of Neslerov, and it
seemed as though the struggle would
end that moment, but Neslerov would
wrench himself free and leap at his
enemy with curse and growl
1T is you or 1! One of US must die!'
cried Neslerov.
A swinging, crashing blow from the
Americans right hand sent the gov
ernor to the ground, where he lay as if
stunned.
'"Fake care of him, somebody" said
Denton in Russian. 81 don't want to

He turned without look at the fall

which Frances had been carried.
"L0ok out!' cried a woman.
At the cry, which was echoed in the
crowd, Denton turned suddenly. The
dastardly Neslerov had feigned. He
had risen to his feet and was creeping
upon his enemy with a dagger drawn.

Denton as he drew his revolver. LET

While it might be that not one of the
villagers sympathized with Neslerov,
yet his act was not crime to them.
With their sordid understanding Of
women having no rights, no freedom,
no liberties save what their lords and

place looked upon the eagerness Of
Neslerov to be married to so beautiful

NOT INDICTED
Yergen, After Months in the Benton
County Jail is set Free.

Judge Hamilton and District At
torney Brown came out from To-
1edo Thursday morning, and pass
ed on over the Corvallis & East
ern on the trip to their homes in
Roseburg.
Circuit court was in session at
Toledo, from Monday morning to
Wednesday evening Most of the
time was occupied in long wait
for the report of the grand jury.
Among other cases considered by
the grand jury was that Of D y
Yergen, confined from February
24th to July nth in the Benton
county Jail for the Lincoln county
authorities. No indictment was
returned against him.
The accounts are that numerous
other persons, some of them in high
life were equally amenab1e with the
old man before the law. The con-
sideration by the grand jury of
these charges was the chief thing
that was done at the court session.

IN A LOGGING CAMP
A Telephone There-Logging by Mod.

A Telephone There-Logging by Mod
ern Methods on the Luckiamute.
A logging camp connected by
telephone with the outside world
is new thing in the history of en-
terprise. An arrangement of this
sort is newly established in the
camp of the. Spaulding Logging
Company on the headwaters of the
Luckiamute, Benton county. With
the familiar ting-a-1ing of the te1e-
phone, the manager of the company
in his comfortable Office at New
berg rings up the camp boss, in
quires about the progress made
during the day, hears of require
ments Or need Of supplies at the
camp, and gives information as to
plans of operation to be inaugur-
ated. All that is needed to make
the camp right up to date along
with the latest in civilization is a
comic opera or a minstrel perform
ance for the loggers to attend each
evening, and daily newspaper to
tell them of the "now you see him,
now you don't see him. exploits of
Outlaw Tracy.
The telephone line is newly COM
p1eted. It connects with the Ore
gon telephone system at Hoskins.
The private line of the logging
company is II miles long. A
proper switch board for long dist
ance communication is about to be
installed at Hoskins.
Twenty to fifty men are employ
ed in the logging camp. Some
times there are more. They have
three donkey engines for logging
operations. Two are used for haul
ing new cut logs into the Luckia-
mute river. The other is applied
in pulling drifts, bou1ders and other
distractions from the river so that
the logs may be foated down.
The timber supply in the locality
is very great. 1t is estimated at
800, 900, 900 feet. About 8,ooo,-
900 or 10, ,ooo,o 900 feet in the aex-
tensive logging Of thepast few years
has been taken away. The timber
is yellow pine of fine quality, and
hemlock. The company sells pine
logs to various mills along the riv-
er and manufactures much of it into
lumber at its own extensive mills at
Newberg. The he1n1ock goes
mainly to the pulp mills at Oregon
City.

IMMIGRATION MEN HERE
Staff of the Hartman Railroads Ex-
planned Plans to CorvalliSiteS.

A special train brought to Cor
wallis yesterday,a number OF men
interested in bringing people from
theEast into Oregon, and for three
hours they were in conference with
leading citizens. The visitors were
taken in carriages out over the col
1ege farm and among the buildings.
then they were taken to the city
hall where public meeting was
held, and after that they were ban
quoted at the Occidental. The Wis
itors are immigration and t1afflc
officials of the Hartman railroad
lines, and are as follows: w E
Conan, travelling passenger agent
of Southern Pacific: J Jones. T. P.
A., and H E Lounsbury, 7. F. A.
of Southern Pacific: G M McKin-
ney, immigration agent; c Mac
Kenzie, assistant immigration
agent; W H Burke, Indianapolis,
Ind; H A Townsend, Des Moines,
Iowa, and I N Conk1in of Mi1wau-
kee, Wis. The Oregon Railroad
& Navigation Company was re-
presented by J O'Nei1, T P A. and
R NJ Hall, publicity promoter.
At the public meeting Mr. Nc
Kinney explained the plans and
purposes of the Hartman lines with
reference of inducing immigration
into Oregon. Immigration head
quarters are being established at
Des Moines, Iowa, Indianapolis,
Indiana Chicago, Pittsburg, and
Louisville, Kentucky. Agents
from these headquarters visit var
ious towns in their territory and
secure lists of persons suspected of
cherishing a desire for a change of
residence. These lists are sent to
headquarters, and advertising mat
ter provided by the company, and
by communities interested in Sc
curing immigration are sent through
the mails. If Corvallis and Benton
county wants advertising literature
sent to these people, and will pre-
pare it, and turn it over to the rail-
road agent of the company at Cor
wallis, Mr. Kinney said, the Harri-,
man people will send it postage free
to people in the territory.
Mr. Mckinney further said, "You
have far better country as regards
climate and resources than that in
which we propose to work. The Will
1amette Valley is indeed, the gard
en- spot Of the world, Having such
a country, if you will only prove it
to the pc pie Of the west and the
middle west. 100000 people will
settle among you within the next
five years. The thing for you to
do is to prepare statement of the
facts, and place it in our hands for
distribution.
Mr. Mckinney has been for ten
years an immigration agent working
in the east in the Interest of Wash
ington, Idaho and Montana. He
has been part of the force that has
made Washington so far outstrip
Oregon in growth of population.
Mr. Conan also made a brief ad-
dress in further explanation of the
plans, and he was followed by May
or Woodcock.
Then the meeting adjourned, and
a lunch was served the guests
at the Occidental. After lunch the
party returned to the City Hall
where DR. Withycombe, S L Kline
and others made brief talks. A
motion declaring it to be the sense
of those present that Corvallis and
Benton county should prepare at
least $4,000 copies of a suitable
pamphlet for distribution was un-|
animously adopted, and the meet
ing adjourned.

Among the japanese it seems to be a

The cable was then cut and a length
OF 145 feet back of the building to the
entrance of the office put down. The
pulling was SO hard that the original

the telephone is that when their
phones are out of order for week to
ten days or more to refuse to pay for
the time they were deprived of the
service said Mr. Hasson yesterday.
This matter has been fought out in
other cities and the companies have
been defeated. Ihey have no right to
charge in advance for service which
they have not rendered. The only way
to make the company come to time
is for the patrons, as | have said to
refuse payment. l venture to say tha,
if a milkman fans to leave the regula-
ton quart of milk on a housekeeper's
doorstep, for even two nights, they
would refuse to pay the bill if delivery
for every day in the month were In
cluded in it.
What makes it aggravating in a
metropolitan city is the effect that
poor service of a telephone company
has on business. Physicians depend
upon the telephones, as do those who
are in need of them, and patrons OBJ
tain police protection by phone. As
an instance of the failure of the tele-
phone company to repair its lines since
the last storm, the watermaster has
been compelled to drive up Nuuann
valley every night in order to ascertain
whether the reservoirs are full. 1t is
necessary for him to do so, as the city
depends upon full reservoirs in case of
conf1agrations.
What 1 would desire very much is
to have people who have suffered from
poor and non-service over the tele-
phone system make written complaints
to me. 1 have had plenty of verbal
complaints, but what 1 want are writ
ten ones. Then 1 will have something
to work upon.

Legislature, giving a frapchise 10 a

for the purpose of putting IN the neces-
sary lines. Republican leaders have
been consulted in the premises and
have announced their intention to sup
port such a measure.
The company, which is backed by
local capital largely, proposes to lay
all it's wires underground in the down

bounded by School, River, Alapai ana

The franchise if granted will have to
be ratified by Congress and 1T is the
intention of the promoters of the en-
terprise to take steps to have the mat
ter brought before the Legislature just
as soon as it meets, with the hope that
favorable action will mean that there
will be time for the sending of the ap-
proved bill to the national capital, so
that if no great fight is made upon the
franchise it may be put through at this
session and the work upon the putting
down of the wires begun at once. The
names of the promoters of the company
have been withheld by the members OF
the Legislature who nave been ap-
proached in the matter, and it is be-
reved that they win not be uncovered
until the application comes before the
Legislature.
