word, Judge Holgate passed SEN
tence on the clubmen found

first case was that of the State
of Oregon VS.. Chas. M. Kline,
Jack Milne and Merwin Nc
Names and each was given the
maximum sentence set by the
law-3o days in Jail and a fine
of $500 each. In case of the fine
not being paid then each of the
defendants were to serve out the
amount of their fines in Jail at
the rate of s. per day. This
would make $50 days in Jail;
add to this the 80 days OF the
sentence and they would each
have $50 days to serve.
The second case was the State
of Oregon VS.. c. C. Geer, Chas.
M. Kline and Merwin McMaines
c. c. Geer not having been OBJ
tained for trial, was not sentenced,
but in the cases Of Messrs. Kline
and Nc Names the same sentence
was imposed as in the above case.
The fines for each, Mr.. Kline
and Mr.. McMaines, in the two
cases, aggregate ST, 900 and the
Jail sentence 90 days each. II
event of the fines not being paie
by either of the gentlemen ir
both of the above cases, then il
these two cases alone they will
have total of 500 days each il
Jail.
The defendants, when they ap
peared before Judge Holgate t'
receive their sentence, were no
represented by counsel. We ar
informed that they gave notice O

dwelling on what is now the Gus
Harding farm, north of Corvallis.
The same house, with modern
additions, burned last spring on
tine Harding farm.
The first Methodist church
built in this city occupied posi-
ton on the present corner of
Main and Van Buren streets.
This was in 1854 and the pastor
was Rev. Isaac Dillon. The
trustees were John Stewart, Will
liam Dixon and Wesley Graves.
The church served for over As
years, and many great preachers
of that denomination were heard
there. The building is now
owned by Charles Everett, being
used as a private dwelling house.
| During the pastorate of Rev.
HIRAM Gould, 1895, arrange
ments were made for better ac-
commodations, and the present
site was secured, a subscription
having been taken towards the
!erection of a larger and more
modern church building.
While Mr.. Oberg was serving
as pastor, IN 1892, the present
church, now being re-modeled,
was erected at a cost of about
$4,000. The trustees were Will
liam Groves, A. K. Miner, J.
L. Underwood, G. B. Schmidt,
Mary Stewart and F. A. Alexan-
der.
While the undertaking seemed
a great one, following, as it did,
upon the great panic, the church
was built and the membership
grew with it, bringing about re-
suits that were in every way sat
isfactory and gratifying to the
ministry and to the laity.
The board of trustees today
consists of A. K. Miner, Joseph
Underwood, Prof. Holmes, Minor
Swick, George Lilly, w. c.
Swami, G. F. Rice, J. D. Wells
and Judge Walters. The building
committee is Judge Walters, ]. L.

ELECTRIC ROAD.
From the Following in the West
Side Enterprise We are in 1t.

In July, the West Side Enter
prise made mention, of civil
engineer who passed through the
valley, stopping over one day in
Independence. AS to his busi-
ness he was very reticent. He
was viewing out the country and
was noting the water powers and
electric light plants along the
way. Los Angeles he claimed
as his home and the most to be
cleaned from his conversation as
to his direct purpose here was
in the statement that he was
merely representing a company
up the valley.
An interview with w. P. Haw-
ley at Oregon City last week
throws further light on the pur-
pose of the mysterious engineer.
A dispatch sent out from Ore
gon City says:
After a conference IN this city
with Messrs. Rhodes, Sinkler and
Butcher, bankers of Philadelphia,
W. P. Hawley, local capitalist,
and manager of the pulp and
paper plant, made the statement
that eastern capital is preparing
to build an electric railway from
Portland to Roseburg, the first
section running from Portland to
Salem, running south on the west
side of the Willamette valley to a
point between Hubbard and
Aurora, and bridging the river
to a point on the east side, thence
to Salem.
Through the rich country
south of Salem On the west side
of the valley the proposed road
will go to Eugene and south to
Roseburg by route yet to be
determined. At Eugene it is
proposed to connect with what is
said will ultimately be a trans
continental line, backed by the
same interests.
This road will extend from
Ogden to Coos Bay On the Ore
gon Pacific coast. Just what
route the Ogden road will take is
not known, but it is said tha,
the plans of the hackers contem-
plate acquiring the Western Ne
vada and California aud Oregon
railway which extends from
Reno, New, to Alturas, in Mo.
doc county, Cal. One report
says that road has already beer
acquired. In Nevada the trans
continental load will connect
with Gould's Western Pacific
the Ogden, and San Francisco
system. In this city the, roat
will, it is said, run over tn,
tracks Of the Portland Consoli
dated Street Railway System, re
Gently purchased and re-organizet
by the Seligman-Clarke syndicat
of Philadelphia and New York.
The entire plan of operation
as outlined in the above are sal
to be one of the schemes for in
vasion of the west by the Goulds

W. H. Hassinger is Also Made
 Director
GROUP OF MEN IN CON TR0L
Inference Is Drawn That Hassinger Is to Retain Place as General Man. ger of the Southern
 Properties.

New York, October 19.-(Special)-S. G. Cooper was elected president of the Re- public Iron and Steel company at the an City today, in place of Alexis w. Thomp- son, whose retirement from the presi- dency of tae company had been predicted for a long time. Charles s. Guthrie was elected chairman of the board of direc- tors.
 MT. Guthrie, with President Cooper, Grant B. Schley l.. c. Hanna and John w. Gates, were named as an executive committee. This committee is new, none of the former members of the executive committee having been renamed. Today's developments at the meeting of the d. rectors serve to clear up the uncertainty that has existed In regard to the identity of the controlling interests in tfle prop erty.
 Group of Men in Control.
 It was definitely stated today that the control of the company Is lodged in the hands of a group of men, including E. ]. Berwind, Charles s. Guthrie, Grant B.. Schley and several others. including John w. Gates. MT. Gates, however, Is In no sense in individual control of the com pany. Ills interest in the property Is no larger than that of the other members of the group that have taken over the direction of the company's affairs.
 Hassinger Is Reelected.
 At today's meeting, w. H. Hassinger, who had been left off the board at the election held on Wednesday, was re-elect- ed a director. In order to make room for him Charles H. wacker offered his resignation. It had been expected by some that MT Thompson would offer his resig- nation as a director, but the fact that he did not do so made necessary the tempor- ary removel of MT. Hasslnger, for whom . place was made yesterday by the with drawal of MT. Waelxer.
 The matter for providing for the &C., cumulated dividends on the preferred stock was referred to the executive com mittee which is to report to the full board at later meeting. The financial statement of the company has been pre- pared and as soon as it has been ap- proved by the executive committee will be made public.
 The new president. s. G. Cooper, Is a young man, who has been for some time a member of the iron and steel commits sion house of Banning x Cooper, Pitts burg. He received his technical education in the employ of the Illinois Steel com pany MT. Guthrie. the chairman of the board, Is director In the American Car company and was formerly president of the American Steel Hoop company
 It Is understood that as MT. Has singer has been reelected a director, he will continue district manager In Bir- mngham.

PAID $1SO,OOO TO
 INSURRECTIONISTS
GENERAL ANDREWS SAYS THAT CONTRIBUTION TO MATOS WAS MADE FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PROPERTY.

New York, October 19-The payment of s130,000 through American asphalt com panies to support General Mates revolu- tion in Venezuela was testified to today by Gen. Avery D. Andrews. vice presi- dent of the National Asphalt company. MT. Andrews gave this testimony before United States Commissioner Gilchrist in the taking of evidence to be used to set tie the suit of the Venezuelan government against the New York and Bermudez As- phalt company for $11,00O,0QO damages for this companys alleged participation in General Matoss revolution. Early this week Gen. Francis V. Green, former pres ident of the National Asphalt company, testified to the payment of $1o0,o00 to Gen. eral Mates. Regarding this statement, General Andrews said that not only was the Sl00.000 paid but that General Green failed to remember an additional pay ment of S30,000 to the revolutionists.
 General Green himself personally au- thorized and approved this latter pay ment the witness said.
 He added that the Sl30,000 had been fur nished by the Asphalt Company of Amer lea, a subsidiary company of the Ma tional Asphalt company.
 General Andrews said that this money was really extorted; that 1t was paid to protect the property of the company, and not in voluntary support of the revolu- tion He said that General Matos came to New York in the summer of 1901, and upon his representation that the com panies' property was in danger, they paid first the ,000 and then $30,000.
 General Andrews also differed with that part of previous testimony to the ef- feet that the state department in Wash ington had protected the New York and Bermudez companies interest In Venez- uela He said the company had received a letter from Secretary of State Hay say ing he could not interfere in the matter, and the matter would have to look to the courts of Venezuela to protect its rights and concessions there.
 The witness told of an attempt made by the Castro government to seize the property of the company through the granting of pretended concessions to oth- CTS in 1900.
