Corvallis Office and Mill Can Talk
Heavy Demand for Lumber.

The Benton County Lumber
Company's Office in this city now
has telephonic communication with
the big sawn1ill on Greasy Creek.
The company has a line from the
mill to Philomath. and during the
past few days it has been connected
with the regular telephone compa-
ny's Office at the latter point. BY
traffic arrangement the mill COM
pany has the free use of both lines,
and the telephone company estab-
fishes rural phones along the mill
line For outside messages, a toll
of fifteen cents over each line is
charged. The Alsea line, now in
process of construction, is to be
made part of the system, connect
ing with the mill company's line at
the sawmill. The new arrangement,
by placing the sawmi1l, the Philo-
math planning plant and yards and
the Corvallis Office in quick COM
munication, puts the lumber COM
pany in position to transact bust
ness or hll orders with great dis
patch.
The lumber company now keeps
one car employed in hauling lum-
Der from Philomath to Corvallis
For more ethan two weeks the car
has made the trip out one day aud
back the next, the constant move
ment being necessary to meet the
heavy demand in local way for
lumber at Corvallis. Much lumber
sold in the town goes to Shedd,
Harrisburg, Halsey aud other points
on the east side of the river. In ad-
dition, the company is shipping
several carloads per week to other
points, including California mark
