evening in the custody of an attend
ant, A. Landers, patient of the state
insane asylum, succeeded in making
his second escape from the authori-

Landers made his escape from the

The attendant hired cab to take his

structive tactics have been employed
but that on the other hand no effort
has been made to settle on any fair
terms One man said: "All who
could be, were beaten down to mere
nominal prices for right Of way, and
then those terms were used to in
timidate others, and threats Of suits
followed In some cases not five min
utes was taken to look into the mer-
its of a property owners contention.
The attorney for the Oregon Electric
looked at one of the finest residence
properties just five seconds and de-
cided what was "just and equitable
from the standpoint of the corpora
tion. Prices are offered Of one-half
and one-quarter for right of way OF
what is paid for property right along
side, and so far all the unfairness
has not been on the side Of the prop
erty owners"
"The methods of handling these
matters have antagonized business
men and the most progressive and
public spirited citizens have got out
of patience with the unfair methods
employed. If the general public
knew all the details of the practices
that have been resorted to, there
would be general indignation on the
part of the people towards the Ore
/ gon Electric instead of the general
good will that has been shown. The
newspapers have kept the whole mat
ter under cover, and it is not sur.
prising that a great many are pre-
ferring to submit their claims to the

Judge Kelley has refused to allow
right of way condemnation suits to
be started by the Oregon Electric ex-
cent on the first day Of the regular
term of court, the first Monday in
July. The trial of suit involving
the right to title in property can only
be brought at a regular term OF
court, when the suits had been start
ed since the last term of court.
No settlements have been made
with property owners in the past
week in or near the city. 1t is re-
ported that the right of way depart
ment has raised it's offer to cross the
Douglas Mimic property from $500
to $4,000, and it was refused The
Mimic property is one of the incest
homes on the water front in South
Salem. 1t is reported that Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Brown have given an op-
tion on their property on Front street
for $1S,5O0. The right of way force
consists of Mr.. Mcdowell, F. N. Der
