Brayton Lumber Co.

Success has been attained by the
Brayton Lumber Company beyond
their fondest expectation. In March
1905 few farmers got together in
Brayton and organized themselves
into company and agreed to buy
shares at certain price each. They
adopted code of by laws and pub
lished their incorporated papers, ell
ected their officers and hired their
manager, purchased lots and put up
their buildings. The sale Of shares
commenced and as the mode of doing
business on the CO Cooperative plan be-
came better known the sale of shares
became more active and the more
patronage came to the yard. Ad-
versity was quite active too. For at
one period it was too difficult to pur-
chase the necessary stock for the
yards but the farmers stood we'll to-
gether and officers and patrons sup
ported their manager in all his tran
sactions. The Zenith of success
came two weeks ago when their
competitors offered to sell them their
stock so as to close up business.
They purchased the stock and the

with which he hopes to establish pas

lines to Los Angeles.
The scheme is in more than an
early stage, The big aluminium
frame for the craft was completed to-
day. Within a month the finishing
touches will have been added.
Murray has developed an idea here
tofore untried by aeronauts, namely
the use of helicopters as means of
ascent, descent and horizontal pro-
pulsion of the big wind buckec.
These helicopters, or plane propellers,
will project several feet from the
frame of the balloon and will be
capable of being turned up or down
as occasion demands. Three power

The direct primary law provides
that candidates for precinct commit
teemen must file their declaration of
intention, and petitions just the same
as candidates for other offices.
County Clerk Allen has already re-
ceived a number of declarations, but
some of them made the mistake of
sending their petitions without first
filing declaration, and this necessi-
tated the return of the petitions with
instructions that they would not be
accepted until the declaration was
filed.
For awhile the direct primary ad-
vocates were unaware of the plan of
the assembly crowd to surreptiously
nominate and elect their candidates
for precinct committeeman, but they
have now awakened to the real situa-
ton, and are entering the field with
the view of making a strong fight
against it and are confident that
when the people are made aware of
the scheme of the assembly crowd TO
gain control of the county organiza
tion that they will proceed to the
polls and as unit register their

swindling telephone schemes in
South America, and on the Pacific
coast, is in the city jail today await
ing the arrival of San Francisco Of
ficials who will take the man to
San Francisco to face criminal
charges on file against him in the

Price was captured late yesterday
by Portland police detectives. He
has been taken into custody twice
before, but each time managed to
escape.
Recently he was arrested at Kla-
math Falls, Oregon. While enroute
to San Francisco he jumped from
the window of the Shasta limited
and escaped.
He returned to Klamath Falls,
where he was arrested second
time. Once more he secured hts
freedom, this time through a rear
door of a store. He then came 70

will drive the screw at enormous
speed.
The lighter than air part of the
balloon will be arranged according
to an invention of Murray's whereby
perfect equilibrium is maintained,
the gas not being used as a means Of
ascent, but merely to afford buoy
ancy. The helicopters are depended
on to furnish the motion.
After several trial trips about the
bay counties Murray will set sail for
Los Angeles, going down the valleys.
When he has acquainted himself
with the air currents he will open
regular passenger service between
the two cities, charging only a conf
paratively small fare. 1t Is hoped
by the millionaire hackers of the
project eventually to put the diri-
gibles made famous by Zeppelin into
commercial use up and down the Pa
cific coast. They assert that the
