BURIED THURSDAY.
Benton County Young Woman Laid
to Rest in Newton Cemetery.

In Philomath there is a home
wherein a sorrowing husband and
two motherless little ones mourn
for the wife and mother who was
laid to her last long resting place,
Thursday AFTERNOON. The husband
is Nye Scott, and the deceased was
Mrs. Bertha Lytle Scott, aged 2S.
Death came to relieve the suferings
of Mrs. Scott at 1890 Wednesday
morning. For six weeks she had
been ailing with consumption, and
in the closing days of her earthly
ca, eer she made a profession of re-
ligion, and died peacefully, at the
hour named. In gir1hood deceased
was Miss Bertha Lytle. She was
born and reared in PhIomath, where
many friends mourn her early go
ing.
The funeral services were held at
the Methodist church in Philomath
at 2:3o Thursday afternoon. The
sermon was by Bishop Castle, and
interment was in the Newton GENE.
terry. Many friends and relatives
attended the last sad rites. and
in many a home the name of Mrs
Scott will long be held in loving
memory.

CONTRACT CLOSED.
For Connecting Link in Independent
Telephone Between Corvallis and
NeWberg.

Connection is to be made at once
via the Independent telephone sys-
tenn with the Kings Valley. Dallas,
Sheridan and other independent
lines in Western Benton and Polk.
]. M. Stats. manager of the Kings
Valley and Airlie telephone com.
pany and superintendent of the
Dallas, Lewisville and Falls City
lines, was in town Thursday. and
closed contract with w. D. De
Varney to fill in the gap from Lin
derman's S north of Corvallis, to a
connection with the above lines at
the farm of Mr.. Stats. A COM
mercial line is in course of construc
ton, connecting Kings Valley for
the exclusive use of through bust
ness to Corvallis. This arrange
ment will give tue Independent
system complete connections as tai
north as Newberg, including Nc
Minnville, North Yamhill, Sheri'
dan aud all intermediate points.
The lines under the management
of Mr.. Stats, now enter Monmouth
and are to be built immediately te
Independence. The Independence
people are asking for a switchboard
TO be installed at that place for the
accommodation of the Independeu
lines. and it looks as movemen
for independent wires would be in

TWO WAITS.
Over in Alsea-,Also a son Whose
Wages and Body his Parents
Want.

A county court incident of this
week was the application of a pair
of parents to have the wages of
their 14-year old son paid to them,
and to have him return to their
home. The son is employed by W.
D. Risley, who. resides in Alsea.
The parents are Mr.. and Mrs.
Middlestadt, who live three miles
the other side of Philomath.
The son left home some time ago
and engaged to do farm work for
Risley, for which hereceives wages.
A couple of weeks ago, a letter
from Mrs. Middlestadt requested
Sheriff Burnett to collect the sons
wages and compel the boy to re-
turn home. The sheriff is without
authority to collect wages and see
that sons stay at home, and the let
ter was turned over to the county
judge. The parents. receiving
neither wages nor son, applied this
week in person to Judge Walters.
Connected with the story, is an
other incident. Last fall two chill
dren, aged nine and II, respective
ely, appeared as waits in Alsea.
They made their. way over the
mountain and were picked up one
day by the stage driver. They
said they had been driven away
from home, and gave their names
as Middlestadt. 1t turns out that
they are the son and daughter of
the parents now after the wages
and person of their I4-year old.
The parents admitted their parent
age of the waits when before Judge
Waters for the wages and body of
their other child.
The two little estrays were TAX
en- into Alsea homes and cared for
by the kind people of Alsea., One
is at the home OF Henry Seiss. The
/ petition of the Middle stadts was
not formally presented, and on that
account, no order was made In
case it is done, the court mcst grant
the order, provided representations
are not made, showing improper
treatment of the children by their
parents.
