In the belief that the Vienna
Cleaning Parlors on North Sec
ond were but a gambling den
and "blind pig," Chief Wells,
assisted by Policeman William
son and Judge McFadden, made
a raid last night and landed four
men F. J. Reams, of Portland,
- '- Francis, of Eugene, Harry
Waggoner and Roy Rickard, of
Corvallis. These men, with the
exception of Rickard, were
charged with gambling, and re
leased on $25 bonds. They were
to appear before the court at 9
o'clock this morning, : but only
Reams did so. He pleaded guilty
and was fined $20. Francis and
Waggoner failed to show up,
having hired a buggy and driven
to' Alban v last merit, - atchine
the next train north.

was stationed at the front door
while Chief Wells and Judge
McFadden went to the rear.
Through a crack in the door the
latter two watched a game of
draw poker until the men began
to quarrel. . When one of the
trio swept the money from' the
table and arose, Chief Wells
, thought it time to act,' and made
an effort to break in the door.
At this the lights were put out
Wells ordered the door opened,
.and it did open as Waggoner at
': tempted to make, a get-away.
Fadden credit for being all wool
and a yard wde. He exhibited
all the courage of the gallant six
hundred at Balaklava and at one
time when the vicious . man . of
the bunch seemed about to strike
Wells the Judge grabbed his cane
with both hands and made the
gambler change his mind.
The raid has netted the city
$70 and this will be increased by
the fine that will be assessed
against Rickard for drunkenness.

ilGOLOlTS
ARRIVING DAILY
All taxes unpaid when the
clock strikes 5 next Monday
afternoon will become delinquent
and subject to penalty and in
terest. For the last two or three
weeks the Sheriff and his depu
ties have been kept busy , taking
in the coin, and it is probable
that the delinquent list will be
small, as usual. -
Delinquent taxes are no longer
advertised, the Oregon Legis
lature haying repealed that sec
tion of the law. The members
doubtless thougnt tne news
paper men were getting too pros
perous, so they decided to dis
pense with the custom of adver
tising property before selling it
for delinquent taxes.
The jiew law provides that
any day after the expiration of
six months after the taxes
charged against real property
are delinquent, the tax cojlector
shall, upon demand and pay
ment of taxes, interest and pen
alty, make out and issue a . cer
tificate of delinquency against
such property. Such certificates
shall hear . interest from the
date of issuance until redeemed
at the rate of 15 per cent per
annum, and shall be .-sold to any
person, in or der of priority in
applying therefor, -npon the pay
ment of the . value in principal
and interest thereof.
At any time after the expira
tion of three years ; from the
first date of delinquency, the
noiaer . oi ,- sucn cerancate may
summon the delinquent to re-
the lien against .the property
mentioned in such certificate.
Personal property upon which
the tax is delinquent for a per
iod of 30 days .after the first
Monday in April, or after the
first . Monday in October, ; shall
be sold for the payment of such
tax, and such sale shall be ab
solute.

AFFLICTED WITH "BIG

- A.citizen of , Wren published in
the most recent issue of a Philo
math paper an article t in which
he made such an accusation, the
Gazette-Times called attention
to the ' article,1 and now the
citizens of Corvallis are discuss

they discuss it,v the ', more in

there is a demand,. that this

Many business men say that if
any Corvallis butcher has
knowlingly 3old "big head" beef
he should hot only be forced out
of business but should be prose

punishment, such as horse whip-
