New Switchboard Arrives.

The Independent Telephone
Company has just received its
new power switchboard from
Chicago. It stands eight feet
high, is four feet wide, and is
made of pure white marble stud
ded with gauges and shining
patches of copper. The three
gauges register the voltage, the
copper screws hold the wires in
place and large copper regula-
tor in the centre controls the cleo
trio current. The cost of the
board is $4,000. The main
switchboard will arrive today.
The company has also in place
twenty-four large storage batter
les to supply the necessary power
when the electric plant is not run
ming. These batteries are plac-
ed in two sections of twelve each,
one section to be in use while the
other is De1ng nlleu.
Six thouand feet of cable wire
is being placed upon the poles in
the city. This cable consists Of
1o2 copper insulated wires bound
together tightly and covered with
rubber coating. This cable is
used as matter of economy in
labor and space.
A large force OF men is now
working on each of the three
lines between here and Monroe
Bellfountain and Kings Valley
The connections to be made will
the rural routes will take but :
short time. Citizens of Cor
wallis and Benton county ar
anxiously awaiting the compile
ton of communications.

Did Not Like Their Home.

The three sons of Mr.. and Mrs.
Middlestadt, who live three miles
above Philomath, have left home,
and their parents, desiring their
return, have requested the assist
ance of Sheriff Burnett and the
county court. 1t appears that
the eldest boy, who is only "a
years of age, left home some time
ago and has been working for w.
D. Risley over in Alsea. The
parents endeavored to induce him
to return home, but were unsuc-
cessful. Now they seek to col
lect his wages. The other two
boys, aged respectively s and II,
left home but short time ago,
presumably sent by their parents
to plead with the eldest son to re-
turn home, and took up their res
idence in Alsea, one with w. H.
Malone, the other with Henry
Sets. The parents now want all
three bows at home, and have re-
quested the assistance of Judge
Waters without making any for
NAL demand. The boys claim
that they have been mistreated by
their parents and do not wish to
return, that they are perfectly sat
isfed where they are and wish to
stay. The matter will probably
remain as it is as no formal action
was taken by the county court,
and, although the wages of the
minors might be collected, the
court could not guarantee to keep
the boys at home.
Last Fall two children aged 8
and II respectively, while wan
dering around over in Alsea,
were picked up by the stage driv-
er. They said they had been
driven away from home, and gave
their names as Middlestadt. It
turns out that they are the two
sons of the parents now after the
wages and person of their I4-yea1
old. The parents admitted thei,
parentage of the waits when be.
fore Judge Waters for the wage:
and body of their other child.

RUNAWAY, Girl .CAuGHI.-
Marietta LEWIS caves. Her Home
h eoryailis II Boy clothes.l

Friday ATTENDED,. Chief I,aae
went 70 Albany and returned In
the evening, with Miss Marietta
Lewis, a child of ID years, who
ran away from her home in Cor
Wallis, Friday morning.
The young miss was masque-
rading in her brothers clothes
and as she had a close hair cut,
she looked for all the world like
a handsome boy when taken in
by the officers. The child became
dissatisfied with her home, and
thinking that her parents did not
treat her right, determined to
strike out in the world and cast
off her horne restraints. She
secured suit of her brothers
clothing and dressed in this left
home at 7 O'Clock Friday morn
ing and walked to Albany. At
noon when her father returned to
the house from his work and the
girl did not appear search was in
stituted and the police notified.
Chief Lane telephoned to AL
bany and Chief McClain of that
city started out to look for the
girl and located her in a short
time, satisfied himself that he had
the right one, and took her to his
office. Miss Lewis readily ac-
knowledge that she was the one
wanted and said that she had be-
come dissatisfied with her home,
owing to the treatment received
there. ....
Chief McClain at once potifed
Chief Lane, and the girls father,
Plutarch Lewis, went to Albany
to bring his daughter home, but
she was held until Chief Lane ar
rived. The girl was brought
home by her father and Chief
Lane. She expressed great re-
gret at the lstep taken and was
glad that her escapade had not
been any more disastrous, for
she suddenly realized the great
dangers she had escaped by being
overhauled. The girl comes from
a good family, and has always
borne fine reputation and it was
only in a..spirit of mischief that
she lett her home to see the great
world without counting the cost.

For An Electric Road.

The franchise for a right Of
way for the new electric line from
Corvallis to Eugene, asked for by
Judge Potter, of Engene, will be
either granted or not granted by
the county court tomorrow. The
county court is petitioned to save
the time necessary to secure the
right t-of-way from the farmers.
The company proposing to
erect this line is composed of a
mum Der of eastern capitalists
who propose to spend 81, 900, 900
building electric traction lines in
the Willamette valley. The pro-
posed route will be from Port
land southwark through Salem
and Albany to Eugene and from
Eugene through Corvallis, In
dependence and Dallas back to
Portland with various branch
lines. There is no reasonable
ground for objection from Valley
people, inasmuch as the money
comes from abroad and will be
expended with view to develop
ing the country. The one in
dispensible requisite of develop
ment is rapid transportation. The
slow process of former years no
longer suffiees for our needs.
There is demand for anything
that Oregon can produce but her
resources lie very largely dormant
as cost of transportation ex-
ceeds the cost of production.
A means Of rapid and cheap
passenger and freight transporta-
ton between Corvallis and points
north and south will work Won
ders in the development of Ben
ton county. Monroe, isolated
from railroad communication is
in the very heart of a wonderfully
rich section. There is ample
ground for believing that an en-
terprise of this kind will pay its
projectors a reasonable profit from
the very start.
The plea that the cars will
frighten the horses of farmers is
very shortsighted as compared
with the advantages that will ac-
crue to the people as a body.
Horses get accustomed to the
cars very quickly and are more
easily controlled in the end. II
there be any sacrifice on the part
of the county in granting the fran
chise, by all means let such per
quisite be paid for by the new
company; but as it now stands
we are offered the road as a gift
and it would seem folly not to
accept it.

Oysters in Yaquina Bay.

Will the famous Toke Poin,
oysters propagate in Yaquinzbay !!
This question has been bothering
some of the people interested in
the development of the little Ore
gon harbor for some time, and
recently some oysters were plant
ed where it is thought they may
propagate.
The first of these famous oys-
tiers were planted in the Yaquina
harbor by party Of Portland
men headed by John D. Wilcox.
These men, several years ago,
secured a lease of the tidehats
across the bay from Yaqnina
City, and planted there large
number of the embryo Toke
Point oysters. The rapidity with
which these young oysters
grew was something remarkable.
1t was but short time until the
oysters had become large enough
TO be plainly visible to passen-
gers on passing boats, and now
when the tide is low, on the mud
fats opposite Yaquina may be
seen myriads of the famous oys-
tiers. They grew with a rapidity
that surprised all expectations,
but they do not propagate.
The question of propagation of
the oyster on the Oregon coast is
now being looked into. There
is great money in the oysters even
when it is necessary to get the
young muscles from another
cline, and raise them in the sea-
coast mud of Yaquina. But if
they can be made to propagate
here, there is a fortune in the
Yaquina mudhats.
The Portland people who
leased all the lidefats of the Cor
Wallis & Eastern Railroad Com
pany at Yaquina bay, did not
get quite all the available land
for oyster culture. Farther up
the bay is protected lagoon
which occupies small obscure
part OF the bay, but which offers
an excellent stretch of well-pro-
tected tidehat. Here a COM
pany OF some of the leading
citizens of albany, among them
J. R. Wyatt, DR.. w. H. Davis,
w. H. Hogan and Edwin Stone,
haze planted some of the Toke
Point variety of oysters. These
have grown rapidly, and the
men at the head of the move
ment are confident that the mus
sci will propagate in the protected
lagoon in which they are planted.
The place is warmer than most
of the tidefats, and is excellent
| ly located for oyster propagation.
