People Who to Kduw Where Tbey live-rBehtoo 1 Southern Border. There is trouble about' the south ern bouoaary or-Benton county. Nobody knows just where the line is that divides Benton from Lane.

It ha? neyer been and it does not run according to section or township lines, as is often the cae. lAll-the territory was orginalj Ben toa county, and in the legislative act that created Lane, tlfce southern, boundary of Benton': was fixed in the tollowing language: "Uom-mencing in the middle of the channel otui? riverj? at a point where a line running west will pass three ot tne ford on Long Tom, near, Roland HiDton'o and running due west to the Pacific ocean," The trouble in. the matter is that raeidents of a considerable strip of territory about where. the county linn is supposed to be, do not know whether they are in Benton or Lane county. large amount of land is in the strip and nTJoody knows whether it ought to be assessed in Benton or in- Lane.

As a conse quence it is said that considerable land, in the locality is not assessed at all by either county. Besides this, there is much trouble over the Patrons 4o not know. whelher. they are in school districts in Lane or school districts in Tbey do not know, in one instance, whether their children are drawing school, money from Benton or from Lane. In some instances the build; ing of a school house was made en igmatical; over the unctrtainity of whether it was to be in Lane county or in Benton.

and ntimer ous other vexatious problems: a'e presented by the. uncertainty of the question of where, the county line is located, There ought to be a survey of the line. would seem to be the duty of the surveyor general to locate it. 1 be county surveyor of Benton, county could hardly doit, becauee the La is county people might not be -wilhngto accept bis for the eame reason, the Lane county, surveyor could not establish tbe boundary. The surveyor general, would, seem to be final authority and it would apr pear urgent that steps be at once taken in the matter.
