tFoRsRURAL PHONES.
Would Make Benton a Net Work of
Lines, Serving Every Home.

y GsF1
Farmers in town Saturday talk
+ ed about an extensive rural tele-
phone system for Benton county.
They say similar movement is on
for extensive systems in Washing
ton, Yamhil1 and Polk counties,
and it is planned to connect the
Benton county system with all the
latter. The whole system is indie.
pendent of existing companies, and
the plan proposes that it be con-
Quoted on a sort of cooperative
basis.
The men who talked about it say
that membership fee of $25 or $50
and two dollars per year rental, is
all the cost that is necessary. If
! the system becomes extensive the
membership fee builds the lines and
pays for phones. The two dollar
rental pays operating expenses.
The system contemplates a COM
p1ete net work Of lines, traversing
each county road. and afording
service. to every family along the
line. At two dollars per year as
the total expense outside of the
membership fee, it is figured that
every family would have phone,
especially since every neighbor
would thereby come within speak
ing distance. The connecting of
the system with those of other
counties would make the arrange
ment all the more desirable. The
service would, according tothe plan
proposed, not only render service
in the country, but in town as
well.
The movement has not taken
shape; but it is talked about. Farm
ers are thinking seriously about it,
and among them George Linder-
man, is heartily in favor of under
taking thep1a Of course it may
never materia1ize. Here, however,
is what a farmer said about it:
s'The rural telephone system is
certain to be feature of the future
It is bound to come. It can be
maintained on financial, basis that
will place it within reach of every
country home. When all farmers
take it up the expense will be so
minimized that every home can af-
ford it; This is my prediction;
within five years Benton county
will be network ofrura1 telephone
lines, and almost every farmer will
have one. Why not?"

the limbs of the tree. while a similar
ly shaped basket in another tree held

grain, roots and other articles which
were evidently used for food.

could be learned of their wherea bouts.
Quite number of the other Indians
about there seemed to have known
them, but said they could not talk to

had lived around there for several
months, during which time the Indians
had given them the name of tree
dwellers."

A most peculiar accident happened
some time ago on the Missouri Pacific
road at Lexington, Mo.
A freight train reached that station
about noon, and the train hands went
across the way to a lunch stand for
something to eat On returning from
luncheon the fireman and one of the
brakemen, being a little in advance of
the others, discovered that three empty
fat cars which for convenience sake
had been placed in front of the engine,
had disappeared and so far as the eye
could reach down the line Were not Wis

They knew that the cars must have
broken away or had been released from
the engine by some mischievouS person
and sent spinning down the grade as
fast as they could go into the face of a
passenger train which was due at the
next station in a few minutes. So they
disconnected the engine from the rest
of the train, jumped aboard, pulled
wide open the throttle and started CD a
race for life after those ears.
Three miles below was q curve. On
turning this they could see the three
fat cars about three miles ahead,
bouncing and jumping along. swaying
from side to side and making the very
best time they could. The fireman, act
ing as engineer realized that he must
catch those cars in the next five min
utes or it was all up with the passen-
ger train, which was coming toward

pulled the throttle wide open; the
brakeman. acting as fireman, worked
like q Trojan, shoveling in the coal,
and away the engine sped, and nearer
the runaway ears they came.
Looking over and ahead of them,
they could see the express just coming
into Aullville. AS they drew nearer the
cars the brakeman climbed out of his
cab window, coupling pin in his
hand, making his way along the side Of
the engine TO the pilot in front. Reach

with one hand, he raised it and, with a

The following remarkable story is
vouched for by a party of hunters
from Angels Camp, Cal, who a few
days ago. while on hunting trip in
the upper end of Calaveras county.
were camped on the San Antoine river
in very wild part of the country.
One of the party wandered quite a
distance from the camp hunting for
mountain lions and at last came upon
what he thought was one, 1t being up
in a tree at the time. He tried to get
closer so that he could get a better
shot at it. when he noticed that the
supposed animal had a garment of
some kind on. At the time it was rap
idly climbing through the limbs of the
trees, leaping from one tree to another.
The hunter gave chase and after a
long race .gainedien the Fugitive until
he could make Out the Features and
form OF. a chilasappafently about ten
or twelve years of age very thinly
clothed with gunny sacks tied about
it's waist. The hunter hailed the child.
but this only served to brighten the
little fellow, who scampered the faster
down the deep and dark ravine, where
he was Joined by Il man and woman
similarly attired, all three of whom
quickly disappeared by going up one
of the large pine trees.
