Gorvallis Times. Official Paper o( Rentes Cantr. GOSTAUJB, OREGON, AFBO. 13, 1904. The republican majority in the Oregon legislature is always sixty to seventy on joint ballot. The condition is unfortunate for the state, and a positive detriment to the ' re publican party. So enormous a ma jority naturally tends to make the legislative body extravagant. Ap propriations are proposed, and the . majority carried on with a mad con sciousness of its power and perpet uity, yields to every demand, and the aggregate sum that is finally ap propriated is simply enormous. It is a crime that so small a county as Benton should be compelled to ' yield up $25,000 a year as its part of what the legislature appropriates, It would be far better fortherepub- lican party, and for -the state, if more democrats were elected to the legislature, and the overwhelming republican majority in that body reduced. It would make the major ity party more careful and economi cal in its appropriations, and save dollars and dollars to every taxpayer. It is a question of business as well as a question of party safety for re publicans themselves to help reduce this mojority. This is emphatically true in this non-political year, when there is no United States senator to elect. THAT SNIPE SUNT, Nearly two columns of the last issue of Mr. Woodcock's - Gazette re consumed in an assault on the Tiim charge fha 0 midnight caucus by tfce Yates men and efe' en eliminated Waggoner, Wyatt, Edwards and Kline and the other Hermann men from the late re publican convention. Nowhere in iwo coitimnS dia tnefC appear a denial of the fact that the caucus -was held. Nowhere does it deny that when the victims walked into the convention that they were al lowed to go there to be slaughter ed. The incidents of that midnight conclave have become so well known, and the proceedings so rank, that Mr. Woodcock's paper with its political appendage columns and public announcement that the pro prietor is not responsible for what appears in it, dares not make a de nial. How do the Edward's dele gates, the Hermann delegates, the Wyatt delegates and the others like it? How do they like to hold the sack while Yates and the others take them on a snipe hunt at which all Benton county grins. THB TEARS END. Under the auspices of the W. F. M. S., Rev. W. W.

Four hundred people or more, saw Homer Davenport, the famous Oregon cartoonist, draw cartoons in the college armory Saturday night. The lecture was interesting Hi HtS fxweme, because unlike any tbeauditprs hal ever heard. The tall, angular, awkward figure on the piattorm was in itself an object of extreme interest, because it was of Oregon production, and because it is a figure known and courted by the greatest men of the nation. Two deep set, dark eyes shone bril liantly from under it bold brow and formed the eharactistic of a face elo quent of keeness in observation and lighted up with mental activ ity. Anon, the figure often stand ing in calm repose while incidents were passing under description, turned quickly to an easel, crayon m hand. For half a minute or more while the audience waited intent on the scene, the hand flashed here and there over the paper, and with line here, a dot there, and a few bold dashes with the crayon, the figure stepped aside and on the paper the audience saw the face of some person famed in life, with features drawn correctly and with those characteristics that have made the name of Davenport familiar where- ever newspapers are read or art understood. The lecture was a mixture of narration and cartoon-drawing. One feature was quite as delight ful as was the other, the narra tion was a swift moving panorama of incident, painted in words, in some cases with a touch of an ar tist's hand. Some of the anecdotes were told with an eloquence and delicacy of detail characteristic of writers whose names are famous The narration always prepared the way for the picture that was to be drawn, and the combination kept the audience intently interested throughout the hour and ahalf that ATw Tia Van tnae cnanb-in rr A vein of humor was always present, and the entertainment a source of pleasure from beginning to end. Immediately after the lecture, Mr. Davenport drove to Albany, and thence left for his old home at Silverton, to participate in a family reunion on Sunday. The cartoon ist was paid $100 for the lecture, and the athletic association under whose auspices it was given, netted fifty odd dollars from the proceeds.
