Statehood seems inevitable upon
the lines as laid down in the Hamil-
ton bill. The name Of the new
state will be Oklahoma.
There is a very strong effort be-
ing made in Washington by the

tiou being submitted to the people
by having provision to do SO I'M
the enabling act. 1t is quite likely
that the sale OF liquor will be pro-

are strong influences At work, how

BROWN GOT IT.
The Diamond Ring Claimed the Prop.

The fifty dollar diamond ring,
given as prize with the sale of
goods at Pratt's, went to Walter
Brown. He held ticket z53, which
was the lucky number, and Satur-
day afternoon he presented his
credentials, and carried home the
diamond. The winner was quite
as much surprised as he was pleas
ed. He had bought three watches
for use as Christmas presents at
home and, when it came to taking
the tickets his purchases entitled
him to, he said he had no confd-s
ence in getting even a look in at
the prize. He told the Pratts how
ever, that they might put the tick
cts in an envelope, seal it up and
keep them for him. The tickets
were left in the safe until Saturday
afternoon, when Mr.. Brown in
passing, stopped at, the store. The
envelope was brought from the safe
and after opening it, the first tick
ct that Mr.. Brown took from the
lot, was 253, the winning nu mber.

HAS ABANDONED IT.
The Dol1ar-fo for-Do11ar Plan in Road
Budding and Repairs Benton
County Court.

The county court has abandoned
the dollar-for-dollar plan of road
building in Benton. The order
making provision for the construc-
ton and repair of roads On that
basis was rescinded at a meeting
Of the county court last week.
The change is one of the results of
the new road law. In the latter,
there is provision for each district
that may so desire, to levy a spe-
cial road tax, the proceeds of which
shall be spent within the limits of
such district. Under this provis-
ion, the South Monroe district has
levied a six mill tax, one of the
Alsea districts, a five mill levy, and
Henry Hector S district to the
north of Corvallis, two mill
special tax. The court holds that
for general fund money to be spept
on the dollarfor-dol1ar5 plan while
the districts in question or other
districts are taxing themselves with
special 1evies, would be an injus-
tice to the latter That is to say,
if for instance, Monroe is contri-
buting special six mill levy in
her own district, she ought not to
be called on to put up money for
improvement of roads in the Phi
lomath OF some other district on
the dol1ar-for-dol1ar plan, and that
is why the plan has been abandon
ed by the county court.
The dol1ar-for-dol1ar plan was
put into operation by order of the
court two and a half years ago, and
some very good improvements have
resulted from it.
For the present, a two mill road
levy, ordered by the county court
at last weeks meeting is the only
resource for Improvement Of the
roads, except by special levy in
the districts mentioned above. The
two mill levy will however, yield a
revenue, provided all should be
collected, of $7,265., applicable
to roads and bridges.

HIS HIGH DIVE.
Workmen Fe11 Twenty Five Feet
His Cheek Bone Broken Charles
BardWe11.

"A fall Of 20 to IS feet, from the
upper story into the basement of
the Corvallis saw mill, is the ac-
cident that befe1l Charles Bardwell
Saturday morning. A broken
cheek bone and a number of in
consequential bruises is the result
of the involuntary high dive. The
accident happened while Bardwell
was oiling machinery in the upper
portion of the mill. His foot slip
ped, and losing his balance, fell
forward. In the fall, after drop
ping through the first story. he fell
heavily against the stairway lead
| ing to the basemenNbe1ow, which
was perhaps a fortunate fact in
that it partially broke the force OF
the momentum before he finally
struck the bottom floor.
Though stunned by the blow,
Bardwell picked himself up and
Immediately went to work. After
half dozen logs had been sawed,
however, the mill hands noticed
that he acted strangely. His query
to one of them was. What has be-
come of that log we were saving
when I fell" After that Bardwel1
was taken home and physician
called, when it was aseertained
that fracture of the cheek bone
had resulted from the fall. Sever
al weeks ago, Bardwell had a very
narrow escape at the same place.
He was working about in the mill
when his oye1 a1ls became entangled
with revolving shaft. One leg
was being surely and swiftly drawn
toward the merci1ess steel when the
machinery I was stopped, only in the
nick Of time.
