THEY ARE THIEVES.
- One reads with regret the. news
of how timber thieves have robbed
the people out of $15,000,000 to
$20,000,000 worth of valuable tim
ber lands The story that ; gov
ernment servants in high places
Tiavp bartered awav for a. sum - of
gold the information out- of ; which
the timber sharks profited is neith
er unreasonable nor strange. ; It is
only the old habit in a vnew form
in which shrewd and, unprincipled
men enrich . themselves . by the
trick of cheating the common
people through ' avenues opened by
bribery of public servants., r
.Beginning-; with " the colossal
steals by land grants. to railroad
companies, the theft of public . do
main, timbered or otherwise has
continued through many years! and
will probably run on unchecked un
til the last acre is exhausted. ; The
forest reserves, which in conception
are based on a correct theory, will
probably be the ultimate prey , of
the cprruptionist. When the time
comes to throw them open, it will
be strange indeed, if the; big, ultra-"
respectable thieves do not work .a
clause into the law that will enable
them to carry off all that is of val
ue in the reserves, It sounds pes'
sirni-tic to say it, but it is none thei
less, a lac-, that one t reason why it
is so hard for the poor to get along
in .trues world is, . that, . . under one
guise- ot' another, great, i grand
rascals, are stealing the country's
wealth. The postoffice , frauds
show it. The timber, steals prove
it. 4,,iu:- .. ... ,
Governor Chamberlain never did
a wiser, better thing in his life,
than whea he journeyed to Wash
ington in an effort to use the pres
tige, of his office to arrest the whole
sale theft of .public ...lands- and to
save their heritage of acres to the
people. ; ::; ' ';:'L
FOR GAMBLING.
! A.' Gang at Play.ji Raid, afld a Subse-
-'quent Scene la Court. .si
In -the deep silence of last Satur
day night, the wheels of justice
were grinding in the police court.
As they ground along with- His
Honor at the helm, there ..was. an
accompaniment of ki-yiing and jab
beringihaj always is . incidental
to a court when'the heathen ' Chin
ee is the- defendant: j ; T f ' f M f
In this instance there were six of
themjall up before His Honor on a
charge of gambling. .Among therh,
much crestfallen and . sad of coun
tenance,' was Big- Jim, the Chinese
cook., so many years of the Occi
dental Hotel, but now of Albany.
Jim was in the Chinese wash house
at the corner of Jefferson and Main
when Officer Osburn swooped down
unexpectedly and caught the whole
gang ra the act of gambling with
their implements of war - on the
table before them. Big Jim was in
fact the dealer in the game. When
pulled Jim pleaded hard,' accom
panying his entreaties with offers
of reward, 1 but ' Officer Osburn
marched the whole srane. " six in
number around to Judge ; Greffoz,
where all pleaded guilty, and: paid
a fine of three dollars each.
It is supposed that some of the
celestials are hot after the big money
that a number of their countrymen
in this vicinity made this year on
hops, and that such is the attrac
tion that "brings them from neigh
boring towns . to' ' Corvallis. to
gambol.

THE INDIAN MURDER .
Apostles of temperance, and those
who believe in strict enforcement
of all laws, find a world of material
for argument ir,the killing ; of v In
man urant, at fciletz. - it was . in
violation of law that Grant was fur
nished liquor by" the Toledo saloon'
man. That violation cost Grant
bis life. What is the degree of
punishment that should then fall on
the liquor seller, since his unlaw
fnl act was the beginning of Grant's
end? ,
And Grant himself, in supplying
: the. liquor to his comrades, violated
, the same law, and ..that violation
was anoiner step towards his - own
death- Finally, it was ' the craze
for ;. liquor, that was the chief in
strument in the murder. Had it
been left alone there would . have
been no tragedy; 1 " " :.?c.?:zr?

MILTON SHANNON DEAD.
Passed Away at the Home of his Broth

A private letter to T, Wellsher
conveys the news of , Milton. Shan
non's death in Texas, at the t. home
of a brother with whom he went to
reside about fifteen years ago. ' De
ceased was a resident of .Monroe,

from the active affairs, of life. ' , , .,

aiana.. April 27. 1S23. . When, 13
years of age he went to Illinois with
his parents and in 1851, he came to
, Oregon via the isthmus., settling in

A couple of weeks ago they met.
as strangers, H. C. Harter ' of the

Marvin; who came to Corvallis
about three weeks ago from Iowa
Miss M arvin came ' with her
mother With ' them was Miss
Marvin's child,' a little girl of four
years, the fruit of a former !; mar
riage, ' in which it turned out that
Miss Marvin was a: second living
and undviorced.wife. and her hus
band a bigamist ' ' A ' ' 1 ' ' ' "'
After their arrival, - Mrs. ' Marvin
and her, daughter applied to- the
connty court for assistance. ' Their
meahs; IheVsaid were slender, and
they were 'strahgers in ' strange
land. ' While the county court de
liberated over the matter I Mr: Har
ter whose home is Sn.L,ane' county
near the Benton ' Cotinty' line, "ap
peared on the "scene 1 and offered
assistance. . A house' ' was ' rented
and within a short time it was
aggreed that there ' should be
wedding, and that Miss Marvin and
her little ;girl should accompany
Harter to his. home: ' The tying' of
the nuptial knot Saturday by ; Rev.
John Reeves, is the climax to ' this
romance whose length is ' that of
only one silver moon. ' 7 " '

Delegates to Good 'Roads Convention
- ; Some Things They Have Heard : w
About, v ' ,
The delegates Jrom Benton who
attended the Good Roads conven
tion at Poatland. have all .returned.
They were. County Judge watters,
Robert Gellatly. John Horris, Hen
ry; Hector and Eli ; Spencer.1 The
account is that the .. proceedings 01
the convention wa lull ot mteres',
and that much of value in the line
of good roads endeavor, was accom
pushed. Conventions 01 the sort
of course have their sphere of ac
tivity limited largely" to creation of
sentiment for better roads, by the
dissemination of information ' and
otherwise. Along this line,-Super
intendent Abbott, one of the om
cials of the'Agriculturardepartment
of the' government was in'- atten
dance, and gave startling figures
that show the loss to' farmers and
others by reasons , of poor roads.
In the facility of transporting pro
ducts to -market with greatest ease.
and at all seasons so that the high
est market may be taken advantage
of, the figures are such that could
they be fully understood by all
people, there would be an im
mediate stampede for better roads,
even if great public indebtedness
had to be incurred to build them
; , Other features of the. convention
were measures taken for: a man in
the field to hold ' local conventions
for creation of a sentiment for best
roads, and the discussion of practi
cal methods for building highways
It was brought out in the conven
tion that some of the Oregon coun
ties spent large sums last year in
road building. In Clackamas over
$35,000 was spent on ' the roads,
in Marion very large sums were
spent and many miles of permanent
road constructed.

Immigration statistics for the last
fiscal year are of interest, ' because
of the "great increase in the number
of new arrivals. Of the total of 494
300,' the month '"of May, brought the
most, b2,054';' and in the" past , four
months the arrivals numbered 268,-;
507, or .. considerably 5 'over : one-half.
A.ustria-Hu ary, Italy, Germany and
Russia sent the most immigrants. , ' It
is of -Jntere,t"to note that pnly one
fourth, of the -wjiole number were'
women, and that not the newer parts
of the country, .but New York, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey were the
destinations of the majority of the
incomers. Many went- far west, even
