Crandalls mammoth 10 cent show is

that travels and has been having a
very successful tour in this section.
In Watertown and Ogdensburg, where
they made two weeks stands, thei big
tent that will accommodate nearly 1000
people was not large enough to hold
the crowds and hundreds had to be
turned away.
There are 30 people in the combina-

% cent troupes can offer They have
a splendid band and orchestra and the
superb music of the latter at each en-
tertainment is more than worth the
price of admission.

SUMMER RESIDENTS VOTE.
will Hereafter Make Bennington Their Legal
Residence.

One of the pleasing things brought
out by Tuesdays election is the inter-
est some of those classed as summer
residents are taking in affairs here by
giving up their residence in other pla-
ces and becoming voters here.
Among those who cast their first vote
here for the state county ticket were
James c. Colgate, Rear Admiral
Wells L. Field. Phillip B. Jennings of
the American Clock Co., and George
Worthington.
All own considerable property in
the town and it is evident that by
making this their legal residence they
show an interest in Bennington that is
sure to result to the good of the place.

LUMBER RATE
IS LOWERED
Southern Pacific Announces
That Freight From Oregon
Points VIII Be So 10 a Ton
BUSINESS WILL REVIVE
Industries in Willamette
Valley Will Be Stimulated
by Action of Railroad
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND. Or, April 2o.-An-
nouncement has been made by the
Southern Pacific of the restoration of
the old rate of So 10 per ton on lumber
from Willamette Valley points to San
Francisco.
Last fall the rate was raised to So
per ton. The real reason for this is be-
lieved to have been a scarcity of cars
and consequent inability to handle the
business offered from valley points, al
though it was mi-ehicially stated that
competition by sea from Portland eom-
PEELED the company to grant a lower
rate from this port.
Much activity will mark the resump-
tion of the old rate. In Lane County
alone the Booth Kelly Company, which
a year ago was employing 1000 men in
the running of four large mills. had cut
its product two-thirds This company
announces that it will at once increase
its output and put the old force at
work. Mills that are running part time
will be run full time, and other mills
will start up as soon as logs can be
obtained. Logging crews have been Or
dered to the woods at once.
