Fluctuations in Price That Make Men
Kick Themselves A Story Of
Benton Sheep.

1t might have been. These are
the saddest words oftongue or pen.
A good many Benton farmers cogi-
tate over them now. Sheep that
were dollar and a half or two dol
lars head are four dollars and FIVE
dollars now. Never was there be-
fore such an opportunity in Benton
to make big money off of sheep or
other livestock. eff I had only
known. Why, could have cleared
s., $780," said one Of them. There
were actually cases where sheep
went at dollar a head in several
instances last September and Oct
ober. Everybody seemed over
stocked. For two successive win
tiers there had been a shortage of
grass. Hay was high-priced. Ev-
cry sign was discouraging to the
stockmen. All of them for time
wanted to get rid of their sheep
The price went lower and lower TN
til the best mutton scarcely brought
s. per head.
But the warm weather of the
late fall and the rains brought grass.
A great acreage of fall grain was
sown. 1t all attained remarkable
growth. Then came a demand for
sheep to pasture the winter wheat.
The early birds got the sheep-and
also the worm, Those who failed
to buy sheep at the right season,
were unable to buy at all. An in
crease of 200 to 900 per cent in val
ues occurred within two or three
months. There are said to have been
sales in which even more than S.
has been realized. This for sheep
that went begging,at $3.50 a head
is what makes more than one good
Benton farmer remember how, "It

THEY PROMISE IT.
Railroads do-To Help City Fashion
New Streets to Connect Depots.

There is a prospect of extensive
street Improvement in the vicinity
of the two railroad stations. There
never has been even passable facil-
tiles in the way of street connect
ions between them. A buggy with
a woman in it mired while passing
from one to the other last winter,
and much trouble was encountered
in extricating the outfit from the
muddy mess. Late efforts at bet
tering matters in this respect prom
ise to bear fruit. General Manager
Curtis and Superintendent Sullivan
while III town the cher day were
held up by members Of the street
committee and the dedication of a
street through the railroad prop
erty requested. They finally con-
sented, and agreed to gravel the
street if the city would grade it.
The same meve was made on Su-
perintendent Fields of the Southern
Pacific while the railroad officials
were in town Monday, and the as
surances were very favorable for
similar cooperation on the part of
the Southern Pacific Company. AS
in the case of the C. & F., it is the
proposition of the city to grade and
the company to gravel. If all
works out, a fine graveled and
graded street will connect the two
stations and give to that corner of
town repectability not heretofore
enjoyed. I

SUING DICK KIGER.
Telephone Corporation Attacks Well
KnoWn<Farmer With Lawsuit.

Dick Kiger is a sued man. The
Pacific States Telephone corpora
ton is after him with lawsuit. A
small-sized telephone war in which
the parties engaged sometime ago
was related in the Times as it oc-
cured, Mr.. Kiger became a = ru-
raj subscriber to the plaintiff tele-
phone system. He paid a certain
sum in order to get the service, and
at, the time understood that the
money purchased the wire connect
ing his farm home with Corvallis.
The war came when Mr.. Kiger
severed relations with the Pacific
States people and began to do busi-
ness with. the Independents, He
attempted to retain the wire con-
Meeting him with Corvallis. The
telephone people Immediately claim
ed it to be their wire. Kiger took
it from the poles, preparatory to
its removal to poles of the indie
pendent system. The Pacific States
people arrived>on the scene and put
it back on Pacific States poles.
Moreover they set an armed guard
to watching it, to prevent Kiger
from making another removal. In
the dead of a Sunday night, how
ever, the wire once more disappear
ed. The supposition was at the
time, and nobody denied it, that
Mr.. Kiger took that opportune
time to remove from the Pacific
States poles wire that he, in his
own view, 1egitimately and COM
pletely owned. The latter act is
the chief basis for the present suit.
The Pacific States people insist
that they, not Kiger, owned the
wire. That is the grounds in chief
on which they sue the farmer. In
their complaint they aver that they
owned 4 1-2 miles of number II
iron wire connecting their central
telephone station at Corvallis with
the home of said Richard Kiger
and other patrons, and that they
have ata11 times sincebeen the own
ers of and entitled to the use and
possession of said wire. The value
of the said wire on the poles, the
complaint continues, is $116.1e,
not in place on the poles, $so.1o;
that on December IS, 1904, the de-
fendant without plaintiff S consent
and against their will, took said
wire from plaintiff and in doing so
carried with said wire the telephone
connections Of three subscribers and
patrons of plaintiff, viz, Gus Hard
ing, J. M. Porter and G. M. Brown
whose service by plaintiffs tele-
phone wires was interfered with,
disconnected and severed. The
defendant still unlawfu11y holds
and detains said goods and chattels
by which plaintiff is damaged to
the extent Of $500. This damage
the telephone people sue the de-
fendant for, and in addition sue
him for the following: 5000,
value of the wire; placing wires
back on the Pacific States poles and
guarding same, 5000; for re-
placing nine miles of wire, $8o.Io;
labor, $50. One of the items the
company sues is 81 for the hire Of
q gun that was used in guarding
the wire.

ping Corvallis-It IS Their
Thesis

To make a correct and complete
map of the city of Corvallis, is the
subject of the thesis of four college
boys who graduate next June. The
work is in the mathematical depart
ment and it involves a complete
survey of every street. alley and
block in town with a complete set
of field notes, together with des-
scription of them and drawings of
the things visible within the limits
Of the survey. The work is vol
luminous, and has been in progress
ever since the beginning of the
college year. It will not be- COM
pleted for some time yet to come.
The completed map is to be sent to
the Portland Exposition as part
of the college exhibit. Among
other objects that the map shows is
the flush tanks and catch basins of
the Corvallis sewer system. and
the fire hydrants of the Corvallis
water system. The students en-
gagged in the work areJoseph Hen

 While the charge against Erdmans- dorff Is assault and battery only, the facts in the case. which will be devel- oped at the trial. and which he does not deny. show a serious offense Tues day night, at Washington Avenue and A irginia Streets, he rushed out of d saloon and jumped into a buggy, occu- pied by J. H. Osborne, a well known local contractor, and his young daugh- ter, Irene. The man attacked the girl, biting her on the neck and tearing off some of her garments.

ELABORATE REPORT ON COTTON.
Southern Association Shortly Will Is-
 sue Interesting Statement.


 sue Interesting Statement.
 Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 19.-A very ex- haustive and elaborate report on the present conditions as they exist regard ing cotton in the South. Is being pre- pared and will be issued within the next few days by the Southern Cotton Association. A request has been made of the entire list of correspondents in every cotton-growing county of the South to report as follows:.s, -
 Estimate yield of every county for this year as compared with last: what per cent has been picked and ginned {; also per cent of farmers who are will ing and able to hold for II cents, the minimum price as fixed by the Asheville convention, and how many will sell at 10 cents, and number that will sell at less than 10 cents.
 This report will be of vast interest on account of the recent decline in the price of cotton.
 President Harvie Jordan of the As- sociation Is at present engaged in ad- dressing large meetings of farmers throughout Mississippi. and Is prepar- ing general appeal to the merchants and bankers of the entire South, ask ing them to assist producers in holding their cotton for Il cents by extending the payment of their notes and ac- counts to January 1. large number of merchants and bankers are at pres ent doing this, and those who are not will be called on and urged to help the farmers in this manner.
 Reports at the headquarters of the Southern Cotton Association from all parts of the South show that the farm CTS are standing firmly to their pledges and are determined to win their fight for what they think is right for their cotton.
