RURAL TELEPHONES.
Old Company Makes Proposition to Lo-
cal Committee for Cooperation,

Things are moving in the matter
of the proposed new mutual tele-
phone for Corvallis and Benton.
The Citizens League committee
which has the plan in hand has
whoe lot Of business. The old
telephone company is anxious to
do something to prevent consumma-
tlon of the plan. Its representa-
tives have been in Corvallis to see
the committee. They proposed to
go partners in the new line, sub
mitting three propositions with that
end in view. They offered as one
proposition that if farmers along
the route would build
the line the< old company
would furnish rural telephones and
keep up the line and service for a
rental of $6 per year to each sub
scriber. Another proposition was,
that if farmers would supply poles
the company would build the line
and charge ado1lar month for each
subscriber, the company to build
and MAINTAIN the lines.
The third proposition wat that if
the farmers would build the line,
the company would supply phoses
and MAINTAIN lines subscribers
topay such an amount as would
aggregate dollar month per
mile. The local committee rejected
all the propositions. It asked the
representatives of the old company
for a rate in Corvallis of So and $12
per month for houses and business
places respectively and for later
style phones, all of which was re-
fused.

Big Lumber Flume- Something About
It's Capacity, Cost and Uses.

Big Lumber Flume me-Something About
It's Capacity, Cost and Uses.
The big fume of the Benton
County Lumber Company reached
its terminus at the spur of the c. &
E. railroad company arPhilomath
yesterday Its construction began
aboutsthe 1st of March, and, accord
ingly, has occupied about three
months of time, during which a
force Of from eight to twenty men
has been employed. It involved
the use of about 700, 900 feet of lum-
Der, which was cut at the mill and
foatedgdown the fume as construc-
ton proceeded. It's length is six
and three-fourth miles. It begins
800 yards above the mill on Greasy
Creek. passes under the mill, con-
venient arrangement for dumping
lumber into it, and ends across the
road from the wel1known camp
ground at Philomath, where spur
of the railroad is located. The cost
of the Aume is understood to have
been between 81, 900 and 81, 500.
It's construction and operation prac-
tically locates the big saw mill of
the company at the railroad siding,
and places the company in position
to manufacture lumber and place
it on the market at less cost than
aru mill in the country
The fume has capacity of IS, !
900 feet per hour. The mill cuts
about 30, 900 per day. In an hour
and half, the cut of the mill for
a whole day can he started on its
way to Phi1omath. 1t takes two
hours for a piece of lumber to go
from the mill to Philomath. Accord
ingly in three and one half hours
after the first stick in a days lum-
Der cut is placed in the fume at the
mill, the last stick of the days cut
is in Phi1omath, having been trans
ported there by the action of water
at practically no expense. The
lumber floats along inside the hume
at the average rate of three and a
half miles an hour, a little faster
than most men can walk. In some
places the speed is greater than in
others. Big timbers make the
passage of the hume even more
satisfactorily than do the smallest
pieces. Already there have been
sent through it eight by eight
sticks ffty feet long, and II by II
timbers, "a feet in length. The
aume is v shaped, with sides "a
inches deep. Its width across the
top is about SO inches.
The country through which the
fume passes is peculiarly favorable
but in spite of this, there are tres.
ties en- route as high as 20 feet.
There are also a number of cuts.
One of these on the Pugs1ey place
has an extreme depth of ten feet,
and is 300 feet long. AS it nears
Phi1omath, the fume enters the
county road, and in that vicinity
there are three cuts, none Of them
SO extensive, however, as at the
Puesley farm,
At Philomath terminus will bel
located the plant for dressing and
finishing the1umber product of the
mill. It will comprise an extensive
dry kiln with cars and tracks for
convenient handling of lumber, and
for loading on the cars for ship
ment abroad. It will also include

While a bull market may not develop
at the present time there are many good
reasons for the expectation OF an active
advancing market in the course of the
next twelve months. People who buy
securities at the prevailing level OF
values VIII doubtless be able to sell the
same shares at a material enhancement
in price before the end of the fiscal year
The belief that higher quotation level
will develop at no remote period is
based on the Industrial situation in this
country, on the strength of the financial
situation in the United States, and on the
known propensity of people with means
to engage in speculative operations that
involve the purchase OF securities at
cheap prices and their sale at high
prices.
