PLAN IMPROVEMENTS.
The Benton County Lumber Co. Asks
Permission to Build Fiumeway.

Messrs. Ewing and Flynn, of
the Benton County Lumber Co.,
were III Corvallis Oh business,
Wednesday, and in conversation
with the GAZETTE man told
something of their p~ns concern
ing the enlargement of their plant
and general improvement now in
contemplation for the coming
seasons trade. This mill has
grown to be one of the largest
manufacturing enterprises in Ben
ton county.
The most serious drawback
found in the development of the
business, is the difficulty expert
enced in reaching the market
during the winter months. The
road from the mill to Philomath
is in very bad condition during
the winter, and if lumber is
hauled over it, soon becomes al
most impossible. For this rea-
son the mill Is compelled to stand
idle during a portion of the year.
There is plan on foot to OBJ
viate this difficulty and add to
the revenue coming into the
county for the product of this
enterprise. If it succeeds the
mill will be kept in operation the
entire year. This plan is to con-
struct a fume from the mill to
Philomath, a distance of seven
miles. Right of way has been
secured over private. property for
all but about a mile of this dis
tance, and at the last session of
the county court the mill COM
>Pany, by its attorney, presented a
petition praying for the right to
construct a fu1neway for trans
porting lumber along the side of
the Philonlath-Alsea road for
this remaining distance.
Messrs. Ewing and Flynn state
that they desire permission from
the court to construct the fume
along the road for a ha1f-mile
near the mill and a like distance
leading into Philomath. Neither
section will in any way, they say,
interfere with travel. The fume
will be only "a inches wide and
st will be we'll covered wherever
crossings are necessary. A board
walk will be laid alongside the
hume, and this will be a great
convenience to persons who have
occasion to pass along the road
during the winter. These gentle
men state that their company will
put 500 worth of gravel On the
road where it is traversed by their
hume.
An argument in favor of grant
ing their petition to hume lumber
along this highway, is the great
saving that will result to the
road. One of the great factors
in cutting up the road and plac-
l,ing it in bad repair, is the pas
sage over it of SO many wagons
! heavily loaded with lumber from

At meeting of the Eugene Com

committee appointed to investigate
the Corvallis Carriage and Wagon
factory were present and W. G.
Gilstrap as chairman submitted a
report going into detail giving the
inventory value of the machinery,
stock ON hand and the cost Of turn
ing out the finished product. 1t
was brought cut that the factory
has not succeeded from the very
beginning for lack of proper man
agement and that in its present To-
cation it will probably never be a
success owing to the cloud hanging
over it due to business methods EN-.
ployed. The report showed that in
stead of $35, 900 being necessary to
capitalize the factory and put it on
a thorough business basis $4,000
would bring the machinery and
stock to Eugene, put up a building
and furnish ample money for operat
ing. E. G. Smith, a member IF the
committee, stated that if Eugene
would furnish 81 COO and a site he
would furnish the capital necessary
to put the plant in operation. A
CON mittee was appointed to raise
the funds and secure site.

JUDGE ABSENT AGAIN.
And Four Cases Had To Be Nolled
 This Morning.

Again to-day there was no city court for the simple reason 8 judge could not be had. Unlike the conditions the other morning when a judge could not be found, there was business to be dis posed of. It was not of serious na- ture,, true, but had it been it would have to be disposed of as it was this morning, by the always handy nolle
 Things have been going from bad to worse, if that was possible, in the city court. There are three judges in the city, all paid at an exorbitant rate for the business they do and the time they spend in doing 1t. But they don't care row of pins about the city, for they have the board of aldermen back of them, the legislature and the army and navy. One Is paid at the rate of $166 a month for doing the court business whenever he feels like 1t; the other Is paid for the first oness work when he does not feel like doing it, and the third is paid $3,5oO a year for doing nothing at all except sitting in the district court one day a week for a few months. Yet when one of them is wanted he cannot be found. And they don't care rap who knows it. They are part of the powers that be and that settles it. In the worst days of order in the city court things were not as bad as they are to- day. There was always some sem blance of attendance on the part of the judges, at least Occasionally the clerk or the prosecuting attorney would take a day off, but during the last few veara If 1s g Csorn mon thirp for either of the officers to be absent whole week, and sometimes a month. But their salaries went on just the same, for there is no one to reprove them; none to call them to time, but if la borer on the streets is laid up day he is docked that day. Why-because the board of aldermen rules the roost. There were three cases to be disposed of to-day and because a judge could not be found they had to be nolled.

Western Federation of Miners in ses-

Western Federation of Miners in ses-
 sion in Denver.
 Denver, Col, May 29-The annual report of President Charles Mover, to the convention of the Western Fedora ton of Miners, now in session here, recommends renewal of the decIara- lions of the convention last year in favor of socialism and independent po- litical action. Referring to the settle ment of the anthracite coal miners strike by arbitration, MT Mover said:
 ''Can the leader of this army of men expect to hold his organization intact when he advises them to continue a policy which offers nothing for the fu- ture but strife and Restitution, and commends the findings of a board of arbitration selected by the representa- tives of capital, which binds the chains of slavery more securely around his membership and deprives them even of the. privilege of appealing to their masters for period of three years i John Mitchell need not be surprised should his membership turn their faces s&o the west, seeking af1liation with or. kanizations which have sent out their message to the world, that, as labor produces all wealth, such wealth be. ongs to the producer thereof"
 Mr Mover urged the convention to pecify date for establishing a uni ersal eight hour day throughout its en. ire Jurisdiction.

REPUBLICANS SURPRISED.
When the Appointment of J. B. DoheT-
 tv Was Sprung Upon Them.

When the Appointment of J. B. DoheT-
 ty Was Sprung Upon Them.
 RepublAcans who have been holding John B. Doherty to the wall, have not yet recovered from the shock they re ceiVed when 1t became known that Sheriff Dunham had appointed the ex- selectman as deputy sheriff of Water bury. So far as the republican ma- chine was concerned, Doherty was as dead as smoked herring, and his sud den and wholly unlocked for resurrec- ton has actually appalled, the heelers so that few of them know where they are at. It is said that this Is the out come of new departure in republican poTitics, which aims to support the local political machine by one general head. thus practically dethroning the small fry in the different towns and rendering it punishable by expulsion from bhe ranks to say 'Tboo" in oppost- ton to the plan. Repu'blicans are not talking for publication on the question, but the amount of swearing they are doing is enough to produce 8 terrific rainfall and many think the paths ut tered last night were responsible for inc precipitation of last night, so that if this be true the appoinbm ent has al- ready produced good results in many ways. But Doherty has friends, lots of them. and they are throwing their hats in the air at his good fortune and poking fun at his enemies. with the re- suit that things are quite lively in the repUbl1can camp.
 The appointment of MT Doherty as sheriff so soon after Senator Tracy's plain statement that politics. reputoli- can scheme. of course, Is uppermost in the minds of the bulk of the men who rule the roost at Hartford, is regarded as rather unfortunate: but the time had come to close the deal and no mat ter how many might not like 1t. there was no way of keeping 1t back any longer. and now that the cat Is out of the bag republicans may feel Nike aim- ing missiles ait it from under cover, but fhe party discipline is so great that no man had dare parade his disapproval of the choice.

But the Strike Is Over and There Is

But the Strike Is Over and There Is
 Nothing to Arbitrate."
 Editor of the Democrat:
 I noticed in the issue of the Republi- can, Tuesday, May 27, an editorial de- riding the daily statement of the strik- ing trolleymen and intimating that the strike is passe proposition. Most likely the wish is father to the thought in the Republican office. On the Mon day evening preceding the publication of the editorial referred to above the writer was in conversation with one of the gentlemen whose names appear on the masthead of the Republican as edi- tor and manager respectively, and this gentleman admitted that the strikers were entitled to at least $225 per day -but he considered the strike lost and did not see the use of carrying on the trouble further. That's all very we'll as far as it goes and perhaps would suit the people back of the Republican better than anything else. But the strike is not lost and when men like the managers of the Republican stand up in the columns of their paper for what they believe at heart this fact
 
 will be demonstrated. The idea of the manager of newspaper believing one thing and then turning around and trying to tell the people another, and expect to have them swallow it, is alto gether too absurd Why doesn't the Republican stand for what it believes, or at least would have us think they believe Did you notice the bouquet the Republican threw at the Typo graphical union in it's Mondays issue, pattfng itself on the back because all it's employees were union men and tell ing how nicely 1t got along with them If the printers can form a union and merit commendation from the biased minds in control of the Republican. why can not the trolleymen do the same? The Typographical union can take care of itself every time and there is no reason to think that the trolley men would do otherwise, given fair field and no favors.
 Yours truly
 EDWARD F. FLYNN, Of Typographical union No 329.

FoUR PASSED EXAMINATION.
Many Teachers Now on Waiting List and More Will Be Added Soon.


 and More Will Be Added Soon.
 Four of the six young ladies who took the examination for admission to the Waterbury Training school passed. They are Elizabeth Bergin, daughter of Undertaken Martin Ber- gin; Catharine Mahaney, daughter of Commissioner D. J. Mahaney, of the board of public works: Elizabeth To- bin, daughter of John Tobin of Dublin street, and Anna Bowes, daughter of Mrs Elizabeth Bowes, Dublin street.
 The news that only six young ladies tried the examination produced small sensation in certain quarters. Various reasons were advanced for the ab- sence of larger number of appli- cants. One of the reasons given was that the young ladies have been some what scared by the large number of teachers on the waiting list for the To- cal schools. There are about twenty seven young ladies who are waiting for positions. This number will be increased by about twenty graduates from the local training school and the New Britain and New Haven Normal schools next June Where positions will be secured for so large number Is mystery. The opening of the new Mulcahy school will make room for two or three teachers next fall. Be- sides, an extra room may be opened in some schools. Perhaps few teach CTS will resign their positions to be come married But even so, there will not be sufficient positions for half of the young ladies who are now on the waiting list, not to speak of those who will be added next month. Is it any wonder that the young ladies should become discouraged? It is no rosy prospect to look ahead to two years hard work In training or nor- mai school and then have to wait two years more before securing a position. Such is the prospect of a young lady of the present day who wishes to teach in the Waterbury schools.
