terest in Public
Matters.

The regular annual meeting of
the Benton County Citizens
League meets Monday evening !,
April and. at which time the
election of officers for the ensu
ing year and other important
business will occur.
All members should attend
and other citizens of the county
ought to be present and become
members. It was a committee
appointed by this organization
that took up the matter of a tree.
ferry at Corvallis and pushed it
to successful termination. An
other committee appointed b,
the League responded to the call
of farmers for connecting rural
telephone lines with Corvallis,
which finally resulted in estab-
fishing the Independent Tele-
phone System.
At another time committee
from the league negotiated with
the railroad officials for two or
three years for better service. w.
E. Conan, freight and passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific
Co., took up the matter very
earnestly, which resulted in put
ting on the early morning train
leaving Corvallis at 6 O'Clock in
the morning for Albany and re-
turning at 8 o'clock in the even
ing, connecting both ways with
the early local train from Albany
j to and from Portland. This gave
every citizen of Benton an op-
portunity to leave Corvallis at six
O'Clock in the morning for Port
land, or any other place down
the valley on the East Side, and
return home the same day.
! Two separate issues of very
fine illustrated pamphlets have
! been written and printed by the
league, descriptive of Bentor
county and Of Oregon generally
to circulate abroad for the ex
press purpose of giving valuable
information to people seeking
