B. f. Jones of Polk and Lincoln
was I'm the city yesterday on bust
ness before the Railroad Commits
sion, and the court. Answering &
question as to how things were in
his neck of the wooks, he said Polb
and Lincoln are two of the richest
counties in Oregon, Polk, in the very
heart of the Willamette Valley, is
rich in farming, dairying fruits and
hops, and the home of the red ap-
pie, the prune and the peach Her
oak hills are the feeding grounds for
the finest and best bred goats in
America. The county is checkered
with railroads and the many saw
mills and logging camps on her west
ern borders make It the home of the
tin bucket brigade.

coast line, indented by four bays
upon either side of which extends
miles of rich sandy bottom lands,
and with the grass green the year
round It is second to no other coun-
ty in the state for dairying Her
natural resources are many and her
industries will soon be great, with
fine deep water harbor, nine bill

timber and the greatest summer re-
sort on the Oregon coast say keep
your eye on Lincoln and Polk" he
said.
Upon being asked why Benton
county let go OF such fine territory
as Lincoln county he answered, "Oh,
that is another story"
Well, prior to the creation of Lin
coin county, old Benton broad do
main extended to the evergreen
shores of the Pacific. Lincoln coun-
ty was created from territory taken
from the southern portion OF Tilla-
nook and the western part of BEN
ton counties.
From the southern boundary of
Benton by water, trail and wagon
road II was a hundred miles to the /
county seat, Corvallis, the county /
had but few roads and the bays and /
inless were the chief highways.
The people of western Benton
claimed that they could not get any
help for roads and bridges, and that
when 1t came to an election the bay
people were not considered. To IL

papers in a damage suit for five
thousand dollars, the plaintiff In

Wheat Talk.

Will you have wheat to sell?
If so, you are in luck. The prices
this year will make you grin, but
don't sell until Baxter Mill and
Elevator has quoted you prices.
The man that handles the most
wheat will be able to give you
the best price.
Baxter Mill and Elevator will
be in shape to handle your wheat,
no matter how large or small
your crop.
The Elevator is undergoing re-
pairs. A large new dump is be-
ing installed. A ney driveway
is to be made, and every eonven-
fence will be made that your
wheat can be taken care of quick
ly and without much work for you,
Why shovel wheat into a car
out in the burning sun when you
can just drive onto a dump and
let the machinery do the work.
Then, too, you'll get just the
same price as any other fellow
can afford to pay when he let's
you shovel it in.
Our capacity will be such that
you need not wait for a car.
Bring us your wheat and we will
be ready with THE dough- soon
as you dump,

Planning MyM Bunch Wins.

The ball game on Monday
afternoon of this week between
the Baxter Planning Mill Bunch
and the Fats was a victory for
the Buncn, the score being Ii to
10. The planning mill fellows
batted like fiends, and played a
very good game, considering that
they had been coached by a man
who knows nothing at all about
the national game. We have
reference to Doc Morrow, who oc-
cupied a cool seat in the grand
stand and made more fuss than
anybody else at the game.

More to Make Trip to
Alexandria.
BREEZE WAS TOO STRONG

Washington, July 29.-Orville Wright
was granted last night a three days
extension of time for his official eE-
durance flight, the second crucial test
in his contract with the government.
Orville's failure to make the over
land journey from Fl. Myer to Alex
andria, Va, and return. a distance of
five miles each way at 40 miles al
hour proved keen disappointment to
President Taft and the big crowd of
expectant spectators.
The postponement of the flight was
due to the strong wind, a twelve-nile
breeze blowing until darkness set in,
and also because the engine failed tc
work properly. A short flight was
made about the drill grounds.
Orville Wright last night gave 1t as
his opinion that he would have I.
maintain an average height of at least
200 feet throughout the flight in order
to clear the various hillocks dotting
the territory to be traversed.

PUBLIC IS WARNED
Deputy Game Warden Calls
Attention to the Indiana
Game Laws.
WILD BIRDS PROTECTED

Notices are being inserted in the
newspapers of the state by Deputy
Game Warden E. E. Earle calling the
attention of the public to the state
game laws. The attention of humane
and Audubon societies is especially
directed to the protection of wild
birds. The law provides a fine for
keeping wild birds in captivity and
the notice of the warden advises all
persons caging wild birds to release
them at once. Especial instructions
are given about persons with young
red birds, young brown thrashers and
other birds such as are commonly
Gagged as singers. The warden says
persons having such birds in custody
can save themselves money and the
humiliation of being arraigned in
court by freeing them. ~
The notice concludes by stating
there are deputies all over the state,
but 1t would be too much to expect
them to learn Of every violation, so
the help of members Of humane and
Audubon societies is solicited. All
other persons are asked to report vio-
