Rev, Henry Dackrey, a negro
minister of Massachusetts,, has
started a movement by which he
hopes to take g million negroes
from the south and place them in
the north and east. His plan
will likely fail for the reason that
the negro population of the coun'
try is fast learning that the ne
eros friends. live in the south.
Rev. ruckrey could far more
easily remove northern negroes

ing shape. Az Monday nights
meeting of the city council fran
chise was granted for extension OF
the wires in Corvallis. The grant
ing was at the request of the COM
mittee appointed by the citizens
League for promotion of the new
telephone system. The committee
is q III. Davis, E. e. Wilson and
w. E. Yates. The committee is in
communication with persons in the
movement in the other counties on
the Westside, and expects within a
short time to have full informa-
ton on the subject. The franchise
that it was expected to secure for
an independent line in the city of
Portland was not obtained. Those
In the movement decided that for
the present there was too much pol
itics in the Portland atmosphere,
and withdrew the petition for the
franchise to be presented at a more
suspicious opportunity.
In Benton, it is the plan to be-
gin the establishment of the sys-
tenn in Corvallis, and then proceed
with the extension of lines to the
adjoining country. It is proposed
to operate the system on a cooper
alive basis. Every subscriber to
the syetem will be member of tho
association. A membership fee of
$35, it is figured out by the COM
mittee, will purchase all telephones
and build all lines. The fee give
complete ownership to the subsorib-
er of his own telephone instrument.
and if he moves to another district
he can take it along with him, and
attach to any other system by
merely providing for wire connec-
tions. The committee also figures
that further fee ofthree dollars per
year will pay the operating expen-
ses. The present cost for the SER
vice is $12 per year and upwards
i, AS soon as arrangements are all
complete, q subscription paper will
be started out to see how many
Corvallisites are willing to join in
the enterprise. The reception that
is accorded it will largely determ-
inc the question of whether the new,
cheap line is to succeed.
Mem bers of the committee have
met people from the East who tell
about how these independent lines
are operated there. They say
that wherever tried, the plan has
been complete success, and that
| systems of the sort are being estab-
lished everywhere. i5

Funeral Of Alice Headrick.

The funeral of Miss Alice He'd
rick occurred from the home of Mr..
and Mrs. William Bogue yesterday
afternoon. The interment was in
Crystal Lake cemetery. The obse-
qnies were largely attended by
friends of the deceased and her
family.
The death of Miss Hedrick oc-
CURED Sunday morning after an
illness that was not galaed as se.
rious until the Monday preceding.
Her ailment was peritonitis with
complications of an appendieical
character. On Thursday and Fri
day her condition was slightly
more favorable, but on Saturday
morning there. were alarming
symptoms. A consultation of ply
sicians was held, and DR.. Byrd of
Salem. was summoned to perform
an operation. This was done late
Saturday afternoon, but immedi-
ately afterward the announcement
was made that she could not SUR
vive. Her father and brothers
were at the bedside until the end.
Two sisters, Mrs. May Prescott and
Mrs. Cora Rycraft arrived yester-
day from Moscow, and were pres
ent at the funeral. The bereaved
have the sympathy Of the entire
community. Miss Hedrick was
born in Benton county, and was d
years of age.

height up the mountain, he said
should be about 29) feet. Its cost
would be So, 900. The piping from
the reservoir into Corvallis, he said
should be not less than ID inches
and ought to be I6. The distance
he computed at three and a half
miles. He figured that 100000
gallons per day would be consumed
which he said, would supply 5000
people. The line from the noun
tains to the reservoir, he said,
would be eight miles in length. He
said seven inch piping would be re-
quired, but that eight inch would
be preferable. Hs said the deter
ioration of the plant would be
$4,000 per year: that the interest on
the investment wouldbe $4,000 per, !,
year: that three menwould be re-
quired to run it at $500 per year
The total revenues that he figured
would be required to justify the
construction Of such plant is
$13. 500 per year.
Mr.. Chase argued for the ac-
ceptance by the council of the bid
on basis of Willamette river
water. He felt sure, he said that
as soon as the revenues would JUS
tify, the company would install a
mountain water system. On this
he largely based his argument,
adding to it the further consider
alton Of the fine service in the way
of fire protection that would be af-
forded by the proposed extensions
of the present pipe lines under the
new4bid.
Mr.. Chase expressed a willing
ness to answer any questions, and
a number were propounded by the
councilmen. DR.. Farra was also
present, and made several state
ments with reference to the pro-
posed contract.
The only action taken by the
council was the reference of the
whole matter to the special water
committee. There were no ex-
pressions of opinion by any of the
members. Nobody knows how tho
matter stands with them. A pc
tition had been circulated during
the day asking the council to take
no definite action at Monday
nights meeting. It was not
however, presented.

A Poem on Roscoe Mitchell.

A little while ago, while he was editing
the Elizabeth City North Carolinian, Mr.
Roscoe Mitchell gained national notoriety
by booming Fairbanks for President. He
also gained a discharge as editor of the
only Republican paper printed in Eastern
North Carolina. The Indianapolis Sen
tinel addresses the following poem to
Roscoe:
Tell us, Mr.. Roscoe Mitchell, won't you,
Roscoe Mitchell, say
Why you labor till the night time fades
into another day?
Why you hustle till the day time haZes
darllly into night?
Is your armor ever girded? Do you wage
eternal fight?
Did you elevate your standard, so if vic
tory connect
You could gather in-say Roscoe, now
what did you expect?
Far away, back in the distance, with your
face afiame with JOY.
All alone you wave that banner like a
happy pie-fed boy,
Did vandal seek to trail it, you We're
there with fearless might
To administer trouncing in a bloodless
verbal fight.
With your brush and paste-pot warship
many envious you've wrecked,
And we'd give almost a penny just to
know what you expect.
In the wayback knightly valor oft en-
gagged in deadly fray
For the honor of a fair one in her bower
far away;
Does this heritage still linger and induce
the verbal flow
That defends the Fairbanks standard you
unfurled so long ago?
Or did other subtle reasons fill your soul
with grand effect,
Breeding longings overpowering for the
well-what you expect?

TAXING UNIMPRovED PROPERTY.

Asheville Citizen.
The mere fact that property is bring
ing no returns out of the investment is nc
argument that it should not be taxed
There are numerous vacant lots in this
town that are paying nothing on the in
vestment but you just try to buy one OF
them and you will learn more than we
can tell you.-Durham Herald
And it Is just this sort of thing that
often retards the growth and development
of what would otherwise be a thriving
progressive town. The best remedy we
can suggest for it is that adopted by At
lanta by taxing desirable unimproved
property according to what it would re-
turn on the investment if improved
When that is done the owner is forced to
do one Of two things, sell or improve it,
unless he be stubborn enough to go on
paying tax on it as if it were improved
and yielding him an income on the in
vestment. A former resident of Atlanta
remarked the other day that to this sys-
tenn of taxation he attributed much OF
Atlanta's enterprise and rapid growth.
No holding of dead property in business
nor residence sections of the city is per-
mitted The man who tries to sit down on
his lot and wait for his neighbors to make
it valuable for him is simply smoked out
by high and just tax

TEN HOURS A DAY.

Sundays News and Observer, in a
special from Alamance county, printed
that Ossipee Cotton Mills of that coun-
ty, owned by Messrs. James N, w. H,
and Jas. n. Williamson, Jr., had volun-
tarily reduced the number of hours for
a days work to ten. 1t was one of the
first mills in the State to reduce from
twelve to eleven and it has been run
ming on an eleven hour system for a
number of years. 1t is now one of the
first to reduce from an eleven hour day
to a ten hour day, and we hasten to con-
graduate them. In the long run it will
be better for the industry and at once
it is a great blessing to the operatives
1t is to be hoped that the good move
nent inaugurated for a ten hour day in
the cotton mills will grow rapidly and
that within few months no mill in the
State will work longer than eleven hours.
The humane and business interests both
point in that direction and of course
the reduction will come. The sooner the
better.
