Official Paper of Benton Count?.
COBFAIJUS, OOBJBGON, FEB. 4,-; 1903.,;
PHttOMATH-ANlTiNGLK
There is Peace" Now-Thc 'Dollar and
! Six"Bits Eas Been Paid-
. So far as litigation is v concerned,
the dove of peace has one of ' her
white Wines over J. W. : Ingle ':i and
the other -over-the municipality. ofUf-ngej
jaiuomaxn. -.ney iaw -nu -mure
now. Ingle has been paid "his J dol
lar" and six bits, and i the - new ? suit
that Was to have been ' brought; to
enforce its payment,- has been given
up. The money did not come from
the Philomath council, " or any of
the municipal functionaries, and
there is no official recognition of
Miv-Ingle's contention. It was
Taised by subscription' recently by
Philomath citizens who wearied
of the tiresome litigation and dug
up from their own pockets to avoid
the new case that Mr. Ingle was
preparing for collection . of the far
famed dollar and six bits. ' The
subscription paper and the signers
to it-, together with - the - amount of
their contributions is as follows:
One of the signers was formerly a
member of the Philomath council:
"We, the Undersigned taxpayers
of the City of Philomath, wishing
to end the expensive and - unneces
sary litigation between J. W. Ingle
and the city council, -hereby - sub
scribe the amount set opposite- our
names for the purpose of paying
J. W. Ingle-the , sum- -of $1.75,
amount of debt of the city ;to the
firm of Nichols & Holm, according
- to. their books. Also interest to
date. . "... '

AS TOLD IN IOWA
But Must Behave or Leave ; Town
Corvallis Boys and Jails.
; : Three of the Corvallis boys who
were serving out sentences in s jail
have been released. , rStewart se
Cured hi freedom by payment of
such portion of his fine as was left
after serving -out -days 8 of : his
twenty day's sentence. J Cameron
and" Lyons - secured their : freedom
in-another way, Lyons on a -promise
to leave town, 1 and ; Cameron on
a solemn pledge hereafter to behave
mmseit.: in-case:oi eacn, juag
ment is 'only suspended, -and- if
either fails to hew to the line of his
promises,, he is to be again ' taken
into custody" and ' made -s-"' to serve
out his sentence. The officers be
lieve, ; and apparently with very
good reason,' that more' can'be ac
complished in thus holding a whip
hand over" the boys, Jthan could be
done by exacting a full service of
their sentences at this time. : It is
also understood that some leniency
has-been observed on account of
the fact that Cameron and Lyons
gave evidence in court ' and other
wise with reference to the late es
cape from jail. The "action . taken
by the officers had the full sanction
of the district attorney.' "
Of the Ave lads, Keady and Day
are still in jail. The . former is
confined in the county and the lat
ter in the city, jail.

, The case of W,, J. Emery a gainst
H. D. Barber, for . assault of his
son Cecil in .the school . room was
called in Justice? Blaser's court at
Yaquina, on ;Saturday at 220 p m,
says the Newport News.'. As epon,
as.the .case was n;alle4 Deputy ' Dis
trict Attorney Swope addressed the
court stating that he had examined
all the; witnesses and ; that , in his
opinion there1 was -no sufficient
evidence for. conviction,- and that
it the trial proceeded it would only
be another bill of expense-.to add. to
pjar already heavyf indebted ;co.ur
ty.Twith aio chance . of conviction'
therefore he recommended 'that the
case he ( dismissed. - u..-zrvtiil
. i Attorney W,.E. Y4tes,r f ' Cor-;
vaUis,-who came overito --'assist .iai
the -prosecution, then made a strone
plea that the .hearing' of - the -case
should be continued, that he , had
interviewed several' of the parents
and children of the school district
and from what they had told him
he believed they had a good- case
He also -severely criticized Deputy-
District Attorney Swope "for ex
amining the witnesses for both 1 the
rprosecntion and defense before the
case was. called , - " , . ,
At the:close :of :the arguments,
Justice Blaeer announced the -case

Late Flood Was Terrific-Ruined Farms,
Devastated Homes and "Sich." .
." The Postal Card, a newspaper
published at- Fayette, - Iowa, has
heard of the recent freshet in ''Wil
lamette Valley. ; It says: - - -:
: "Terrific floods are raging in the
Oregon arid the Willamette - river
is- higher than ever' knowji. being
fifteen feet above low water : mark.
Valley farms are being ruined- and
the mountain streams are pouring
into the Willamette. "All aboard
for Oregon." " " " '
-The above is infinitely ; amusing
to jGeorge Bardon and i other : ex
residents of-Jfayette, . Iowa, -who
have recently settled in Corvallis.
VTerrifiC floods'' and "farms ruin?
ed" is intensely amusing, especial
ly since the Iowa paper puts the
river at but 15 feet above low water
The reliability ot ; the . editor' s ' in-.
formation is seen in the fact that
instead of 15 feet, the river was act
ually 27 2 feet above low water,
Had he known the real figures, it
is probable that his article would
have been smeared all over with
salted tears and full of lamentation
for .the untimely death by drowning
in the "terrific floods',' of all the
Fayetteites who have recently set
tled in Corvallis. i Or he . might
have solemnly announced that the
Cascade mountains had been wash
ed away by the "mountain torrent"
leaving behind only a fleeting mem
ory and a dreadful- hole in the
ground. "' - - - : ..
I There -is however, method in the
Postal Card's madness. Fayette
has lost many fine citizens that Cor
vallis has gained. There is ' prom
ise of a further gain of - more Fay
etteites by the Webfoot town in the
spring. ; That is why the Postal
Card is giving the sign of 'distress
so vociferously, and why: it talks of
fterrible floods'' ;- ;ad "ruined
farms." - ;- --s:-,:- ,: .
-As a matter of fact. not a Web
foot farm was ruined." or e;ven: dam
aged. It is true " that one farmer
six- miles' north f of 4 Corvallis, lost
one chicken by the flood.'1 It is al
so' true that j two ' r fool 1 hogs swam
out ot Mr Oren's pig pen. gpt thfefe
by into oeepp water,- 'and r drowned.
But the farms, the : Webfoot farm's

JESSIE SHIRLEY.
A Talented ;Actress and an . Excellent
Company at the Opera House.
I The Deacon's Daughter was the
opening bill' Monday evening, in
the weekrsengagement at the Opera
House of the JessieShirley Company;
There was a good audience and the
performance was highly satisfact
ory. - The play is a beautiful ex
emplificatiorr of prejudice in a New
England deacon's home against
playacting 1 and actors, ; of the
daughters -ambition7 for the stage,
her secret debut and success before
the footlights,; and of howshe finally
Won ' father and mother to her
way of thinking. - '
As the daughter, Miss Shirley
presented a beautiful : character,
full of fidelity to parent's authority
and wishes, anxious to obey and
yet finally driven to the stage by
ambition and by desire to obtain
means for paying-off the mortgage
on the old . homestead. Her work
was of finished character, and there
is no wonder that wherever she
goes, Miss Shirley wins respect and
esteem, both, on and off the stage.
As the Deacon Mr Lbftus presen
ted clever character work. Mr Mc-
Ouarrie was excellent as Charles
Lawton, and Mr Gilbert as the
country squire was complete, as in
deed we re all others of the support in
theiFanous roles.
i I he company carries its own
i scenery, and with it is able to put
plays on the old opera house stage
in a fashion very nearly approach
ing the metropolitan productions.
; Last night the company presented
"In the. Hands of the Fynemy," and
this; Wednesday evening the bill
will be "Held by the Enemy" The
play tomorrow nis:htwill be "Nell
Gwynne" and s Friday "Gamine."
: It is very certain that the com
pany will play to a good business,
for its performances are meritorious
and Corvallis is appreciative.
