The Gazette last week took occasion to blacRen the memory of the poor old dead Leader by saying that it was in the delinquent tax roll for a small amount. It failed to add, however, that the Gazette Publishing Co. is on the roll for $55.19 and The Times is on for $42 59. Now, let us see Mr. Times, you have property for which jou will refuse $5,000 tomorrow and you pay $42.59 laxes. How much are you assessed for? The rate is 31 mills.

It is desen ing of success on its merits.

Stock Now Walks to Market Just As in "The Good Old Days." Death, of Mrs. Mathany. Grace M., w ife of Robert F. Math any died at her home in Wrenn on Wednesday last at 5 o'clock after a severe illness. She was the daughter of W. H. Dilley and has lived in this county for 14 years. She leaves a husband and one child, an infant for whom she yielded up her young life at the age of 18. She was universally beloved and leaves a gap in the community where she lived that will never be filled. The funeral took place on Thursday at Kings Valley. Commissioners' Court. The following business was transacted and the Court adjourned yesterday. , The sheriff was ordered to publish a list of all delinquent taxpayers on the delinquent rolls for the years 1883 to 1895, inclusive, notifying said delinquents that if taxes were not paid within 20 days after said notice the property would be sold. Ordered that 'advertisement be . made for bids for re-indexing all deeds and mortgages relating to real property in Benton county. Books to be furnished by the county. In the Alex Simes road matter; view ers reported that Simes and Grey were entitled to $50 each, the report was accepted and clerk ordered to draw war rants for the amount. ' . Petition for vacation of Scott's addition was granted. Resignation of J. Q. Post as constable at Summit, accepted. Fixing tax levy for 1897 postponed. Surveyor Mercer filed notes of survey to establish corner to See's SI, 22, 27 and 28 in T. 11 S. R. 6 W. Regular bills allowed. Live Stock. Last week Louis Burk drove 675 head of cattle from Corvallis to Portland and payed out in this county $7500. On the way he bought enough more to make 16 car loads; which with 5 car loads of sheep made a train of 2 1 cars of stock sent from Portland to Nebraska to be wintered and then shipped back to us la the summer as dressed beef and mutton. Mr. Castle is now oh the way to Portland driving 718 sheep which were also purchased in tins county and cash paid for them. The casual observer in Benton county would" hardly believe that there was that number of cattle and sheep in the county, and yet a dealer here who knows says' that he could load another train with cattle from Benton county in 5 days ; the truth is we do not know how rich we are. Why all this stock can be driven to Portland from here, all the way along the line of a railroad and driven cheaper than the road will haul them is a question that concerns the business man agement of the railroad, but it looks as if there was something wrong about freight charges from here. 20 car loads of stock have been driven over the road to Portland from here in the last 8 days, and the cost of driving and feeding is over 25 per cent less than by train. The Crystal Lake Cemetery. Recorder Gellatly has just, finished up an excellent bit of work, in his Ceme tery Plat records. The Plat of Crystal lake Cemetery has been filed, and on inspection this proves to contain some valuable information, which concerns many of the people of Corvallis. The ground for this cemetery was deeded by J. C. Alexander, on Jan. 30, 1860, to the Masonic Lodge, and laid out into a cemetery, and platted, but the plat was never recorded until recently. The Lodge places the affairs of the cemetery iu a committee, who attends to everything connected with it. As some uncertainty came to exist after long years, and some deeds were found to contain wrong de scriptions, the present cemetery com mtttee went to the grave stones and such sources of information as were available, and prepared the plat which contains, besides the diagram of the ceAetery and the necessary requisites imposed by statute, the names of the owners of every lot which has been sold or which is occupied in the whole cemetery, and hence the record of it show s the owner ship of each lot, which will prevent any confusion as to who owns this or that lot at any time in the future. From the committee a Union reporter learned that there are 363 graves in that cemetery at the present time, and a brief history of each person buried there is in progress of compilation which when completed will be of great value in preserving their identity. A. great deal might be said about the value of every cemetery having such a history,, but space prevents. It is gratifying however to know, that this cemetery keeps s'icli a record, and of those who are buried there a sufficient history is always accessible to any one desiring information of them.
