will close out his interest in the
Central planning mill to A. F.
Harlan, a recent arrival from
Nebraska. Up to the first of
this year the planning mill firm
was known as Sheasgreen & Bux-

Sheasgreen has been sole pro-
prietor, having leased Mr.. Bux-
toni S interest in the business.
The transfer will carry with il

Mr.. Harlan has his funds or
deposit in Nebraska. but made q
small payment Saturday. Sc
soon as he can get his money the
final payment will be made anc
the deal consummated. Thi:
transaction will cause some sever
or eight thousand dollars te

done by this firm. It is statee

THE NEW BRIDGE
Also New Road Made and Gem
eraI Improvement in AIsea,

George sSebrell arrived from
Alsea Thursday, for the purpose.
of doing some business with the
county court The business re-
lates to the building of a bridge
across the Alsea river about a
mile and a-half above Alsea post
office. There is quite a little.
history relative to this bridge and
the road leading to it.,
Although ll'tle has ever been
sald. about the matter, ii seems
that some time apo the people If
thu section became dissatisfied
with the road leading to the river
on account of the location of>aid
road They met and de-
cldtd on a plan of action. In
stead of petitloning the county
court for viewers to appraise the
road and goodness knows what
not In the way OF expense, those
who owned the land over which
it was proposed to run the new
road decided the land to the coun-
ty for use as public highway.
Thus far they acted on an in
dependent basis, but when 1t
came, to the matter of building
the necessary bridge across Alsea
river they felt as if they must
have some assistance, consequent
ly they appealed to the county
court for such aid as they were
in need Of. The court saw the
justice of the claim and gave the
residents to understand that the
county would gladly provide ma
terial for the bridge.
This proposition was duly ac-
cepted, and, as the county court
required that after going to the
expense for material for the CON
struction of the bridge, said
bridge be properly built, Mr..
Sebrell and six other residents of
that section have furnished such
bond. Mr.. Sebrell fixed the bond
with the court while here last
week.
The main span of the bridge
will be close to 100 feet long,
and, counting the approaches,
the structure will be nearly 175
feet in length. A few of the
heavier timbers are already on
the ground for the bridge and
work will commence so soon as
the weather will permit. It is
estimated that the bridge will be
completed by June IS.
Speaking of roads, Mr.. Sc
brell says that he experienced no
| difficulty in. crossing Alsea
mountain on horseback and
| that vehicles are crossing right
along and without any difficulty.
How different is this from the
usual state of this road during
past winters. 1t used to be
agreed that the road across this
mountain could never be made
passible in the winter time, bu1
4 j.
from all accounts this must have
been mistaken idea.

HOW TO COPE WITH BOTH.
Government Must Deal With the Ship.
per and the Railroad.

Washington, Nov. ia joint ban
quet attended by about 400 gentlemen
and ladies at the New Willard hotel
terminated the meetings of the Ma
tional Hardware Association and the
American Hardware Manufacturers
Association. Several of the speakers
touched upon the question of the regu-
lation Of freight rates by somebody
created by congress.
Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw de-
clared that the evil of the freight re-
bates was not alone with the transpor-
tation company, but with the shippers
as well. How to cope with BOTH" he
said, lis question that Is puzzling
the government. The question would
soon be solved and the evil be abolish
ed. /!
"But now as to rebates. My own
idea about the rebates is this: The
rebate must stop and the railroad is
not the only sinner in the case. Such
action must be taken by legislation
as Will apply the remedy to both the
beneficiary and the railroads"

LANSDOWNE HAS A PLAN.
Does Some Thinking 10 Solve Problem
Of Turkey.

London, Nov. IA. Final arrange.
ments for a combined naval demon.
stration against Turkey have been de-
layed pending the receipt Of rspsies
from the powers to suggestion Of
Lord Lansdowne, the British foreign
secretary, that the demands be ex-
tended to include not only Macedonia
by the powers and the extension of re-
forms to the villiayet Of Adrianople,
which though disturbed like Mace
donia, was not included in the present
Austro-Russian reform scheme.
In making this proposition, Lord
Lansdowne, who is convinced that fl
nancial control of Macedonia will be
inadequate to secure order there,
hopes to obviate the necessity Of a
joint naval representation and by one
coup to secure concessions which will
enable them to perfectly control the
Balkan question. Since Austria and
Russia rejected the original proposal
for amnesty in Macedonia. Lord Lans-
downe has been endeavoring by de-
grees to secure permanent reforms.
To his latest proposal it is stated that
Italy and France will probably agree
readily, but there is little hope of Aus
tria, Russia and Germany concurring
therein.
At the foreign Office 1t was said to
the Associated Press that the refusal
of any power to greet the new pro-
posal will make no difference in the
attitude of Great Britain, which coun-
try in any event will join in the pro-
posed demonstration against Turkey.
The Associated Press was informed
that command of the combined feet
would fall upon Austria, Russia being
in no position at present to assume
command, as she would be unable to
participate in the seizure of Medi-
terranean port without passing the
Dardanelles, which would be strictly
contrary to the treaty Of Berlin. which
the allies operate.

Count Wife and the Gar Both Yield
Another Point
They FACIFY THEIR PEOPLE,
Trepoff's Removal Is HeraIded With
Delisht-Says He Has Been Greatly
Misunderstood in Regard to Being
an Instlgator Of Bloodshed.

st. Petersburg, Nov II. : Both
Count White and the emperor have
made another surrender. General
Trepoff has been removed from the
powerful position which he occupied
as governor general of st. Petersburg
and assistant minister Of the interior
and Russia's premier has agreed to
immediate universal suffrage Count
Witte has been fully aware Of the in.
tense hatred General Trepoff's reten.
ton in Office was causing, but he new.
er questioned the sincerity of the gov.
ernor generals operation In the intro.
duction of the new regime. Neverthe.
less, he recognized the necessity OF
Trepoff's removal and the governor
general himself agreed that only his
retirement would appease the popular
wrath. The final obstacle was the EN-.
peror, who had come to believe that
Trepoff alone was able to safeguard
the life Of himself and family, but his
majesty at last yielded on the condi-
ton that Thepoff should become COM
mandant Of the palace, succeeding the
late Lieutenant General Hesse, where
his sole duty will be to take measures
to protect the life of the emperor. The
position of governor general of St.
Petersburg ends with Trepoff's retire
ment, but the place of commander Of
the imperial guard has been assumed
by the Grand Duke Nicholas. $,
The emperor, in agreeing to Ire
poff's retirement, conferred on him the
order of Alexander Nevsh In dia-
monds. The Russ and other radical
papers which have been campaign
ing against Trepoff, hail his removal
with delight as being the first victory
for the free Russian press.
General Trepoff claims to have been
greatly misunderstood and says that
history must eventually acquit him
Of being in any way the instigator of
the shedding of blood and all the 9th.
er horrors which Russia experienced
during the last fortnight.
Il should think 1t unnecessary for
me to deny that the government

people against each other" he said.
The manifesto seemed to arouse the
elemental passions Of the people. Diff
ferent classes Of the people did what
they could to stife and suppress the
disturbances, but in many places the
authorities were powerless to with
stand the shock. The accusations
against the police made by enemies Of
the government who have demanded
nothing short of miracles are largely
iaventions. The whole government
cannot be transformed in day, but
in a single week wonders were &C.
