NEGOTIATIONS ARE TEMpoR
ARILYAT A sTANDsIILL
Something Likely to Develop at
the February Term-What
Linn County judge Want
edo, A. G. Won
Other Local
News.

On account of high water or
something else, there has been a
temporary lull in the agitation of
the Albany bridge question. No
moves have been made in the mat
ter since Thursday of last week,
when certain petitions were IRE
sented to the Benton county court.
asking that it arrange meeting G
with the county court of Linn. The
answer of County Judge Waters
to these petitions was that the
Benton court is ready at any time
to meet with the county court of
Linn,-but that any proposal for
meeting would have to come from
Linn, because action of the Ben
ton court in appointing a special
committee has been ignored.
It now develops that the special
committee from Benton brought
back and reported officially that
the Linn county court desired a
meeting of the two courts, but with
the proviso that the. meeting
should not be informal but official,
and in legal session, The provis-
ion for legal court, involved the
s1mmonirg of the Benton county
commissioners with the ten days
previous notice required by law,
which weuid have extended the
time to but four days before the
regular February meeting. After
receiving the report to this effect
from the special committee, Coun-
ty Judge Waters asked the county
Judge of Linn by phone if it was a
legal session of tie Benton court
that was desired and the reply was
In the affirmative. Mr.. Waters
assured the Linn judge of willing
ness for the Benton court to meet
in informal session at any time.
but pointed out that ten days no.
tice to the commissioners would
be necessary for a legal session,
It's legal session we want"
was the reply, and there the mat
ter was dropped It is supposed
that there will be developments of
some character at the regular Feb
ruary meeting.

And so Did oAC Giris-Two Victories
at Basket Ball in One Evening.


Thirteen to ten is the score by
which OAC basket ball men laid
it over a team from Willamette
University Friday night, Of the
thirteen points of OAC, but one
was made on a foul called on Will
1amette, while twelve points were
made by field goals. some of them
brilliantly thrown by Stokes and
Rinehart. OF willamette Io
points, six were made from nine
fouls called on OAC, and but four
from field goals.
The OAC men played the game
with Gate, one of the crack for
wards out of it. He sprained his
ankle last week, and is not likely
to play again this season, a fact
that with the illness of Tharp an
other good player, weakens OAC's
team materially. Ca ate's place was
well filled, however by Swan. The
OAC lineup was. Stokes and Swan
forwards; Steiwer and Rinehart,
guards, and Moores, center. The
game occurred in the Armory and
was very exciting It was wit
nessed by large crowd. A return
game is to be played at Salem in
February, lis s5ef5
The result of the second of a
series Of four games between
OAC and Willamette girls was
played the same evening at Salem,
and resulted in a decisive victory
for the college misses, The Salem
girls failed to make a field goal.
and scored but single point. The
score Of the Corvallis girls was
five. In the first game between
the two teams, played recently at
Corvallis, the OAC girls were
victorious in score of Is to three.
The lineup of the local team in
Fridays game was. center, Edna
Smith; forwards, Ethel Linville
and Una Stewart; guards, Rae
Smith and Myra Yaeger. The two
teams are to play the third game

good laugh over the matter and no
more was thought about it. At

FIVE BOYS NOW
In Corvallis Jails-Return, Arrest and
Conviction of Joseph Day.

| NOA fkStlVA Va y oAy
| Of town boys in the Jail nov
there are FIVE, of whom three are
in the county and two in the city
bastile, The number was increas-
ed Saturday by. the addition of JOS
eph Day. The latter appears to
have been member of the gang
that assistedin the escape of Ready
and Lyons on the night of January
18TH. He seems to have done a
sort of picket duty in the vicinity
of where the boys were digging
out, observing the movements of
officers and keeping those inside
posted on the question of when,
and when not. to work.
Day had a trial before Judge
GreHoz Saturday. It was a pecul-
lar trial, made SO by Day himself.
His plea, when arraigned, was not
guilty. Asked if he wanted an at
torney. he said no. Neither did
he want jury, Nor did he want
witnesses. The upshot was that
the proceedings were brief and un-
ceremonious. But two witnesses
were examined, both for the prose-
cution. They were Thomas Cam
eron and Bruce Burnett, The
former testified as to the picket
duty Day had done in behalf of
the escape, and Mr.. Burnett told
of encountering young Day
while the latter stood III the vicin'
ity of the city hall. The result
was conviction and a sentence of
twenty days in Jail. Day is con-
fined in the county Jail. When he
fed from Corvallis, after the es-=
cape, Day went to Oregon City.
Olympia, WASH, Jan. 23.-Ho-5
ratio Hartley, one Of the original
diseoverers of gold in Australia,
and a resident of this county for
over 40 years, died at his home at
Gull Harbor yesterday. In recog-
milton of his discovery of gold in
Australia, Mr.. Hartley was pre-
sented with medal by the British
government and 81 900 in money,
the latter being greater sum than
be realized from the discovery of
the gold itself.
Savannah, Ca, Jan. 23.-Two
shocks of earthquake were general
ly felt in Savannah tonight at 8:15
o'clock. News from the settlements
along the coast that they were of
violence to reck houses.
From Tybee Island came reports
Of the greatest violence, and decid-
ed alarm was caused among the
few who populate the resort at this
season. Mrs. Evans, the keeper Of
he lighthouse, telephoned that five
shocks had shaken the lighthouse
50 that in the living room, 40 feet
from the ground, the sleeping chill
1ren bad been awakened and great
y frightened.
In other houses on the Island the
necks wers as psrceptible, and it
vas some time before the excite
nent there subsidized. In the city,
10 report of any damage has been
eceived, and it is doubtful if there
VII be any, as the shocks were
carcely severe enough for that.
