RECORDER VINCENT ON TYPE-
i WRITING MACHINES.
A BUSINESS PROPOSITION
The four-column "department"
described in the Gazette of April
;th as that department with which
'Xhe Gazette or its owners" will
lave nothing to do, has told the
public that Judge McFadden edits
the Times. The Times, which
is edited bv its owner and owned
by its editor hereby asserts,
ist. That the statement is a false
hood, pure and simple;
2nd. That Judge McFadden has
no editorial connection with the
Times,
ud. That Judge McFadden has
not written a single article that has
aDoeared in the Times in this
campaign.
4th. That B. F. Irvine edits the
Times, that in this campaign he
has written every political article
that has appeared in the Times ex
cent one biographical sketch, and
that he is responsible for and is at
all times on hand to defend the ed
itorial utterances ot the Times.
Now these two contentions are
exactly contrary, and there is a way
to prove which is true and which
false. The Times offers the Yates
four-column organ this opportun
ity to prove that it is the Times
that is the liar, and incidentally an
ODoortunitv to earn $100. Here
is the plan:
The Times hereby names J . E
Henkle. Robert H. Huston
O. V. Hurt. S. L. Kline, M.
Woodcock, D. M. Smith, Robert
Kyle. John E. Wyatt, E. R. Bry
son and Joseph Edwards, and from
these ten men, all republicans and
supporters of the republican ticket,
the four-column "department" may
select a committee of three or five.
This committee of three or five will
be given access to the original
' "copy" of all articles that have ap
peared In the Times in this cam
' paign, and to other information,
out of which it will be a simple
matter for them to say who has
lied and who has told the truth,
the report of the committee to be
published as soon as made, both in
the Times and the doorstep "de
partment." As an incentive to the "depart
ment" to proceed to prove the
truth of its statements as to who
edits the Times, the sum of $100
has been deposited with the Wil
lamette Vallev Banking Co., of
Corvallis. Oreeon, with instruct
ions that it be forfeited to the re
publican campaign fund if the de
cision of the committee be against
the Times. The only condition
that the Times imposes is that, if
the committee decides against the
nameless "department" there shall
thereafter be published until the
end of this campaign in bold type
at the head of each of the ' four
' columns in the "department" these
words, "When this department
stated that another than B. F. Ir
vine is editor and edits the Times,
it lied. This department carries a
, license to lie, and lies."
This ofler by which the "depart
ment" it it nas toiatne trutn can
prove the Times a liar and at the
same time earn $100 is now open.
Corvallis, Oregon,
May 16, 1904.
I have received of B. F. Irvine
of the Corvallis Times, the sum of
100 in gold coin, with instructions
to forfeit it to what is known as the
political department of the Cor
vallis Gazette under the conditions
set forth above.

Nolan & Callahan,
When that peculiar thing over
the way, known now to the worltt
as the "doorstep department" re
ceived its commission, April, ; 5th,
to go forth and lie, it fell into the
same dangers that beset the calf
that was given too much rope. The
fool hung itself. Decent respect
for the truth should have suggested
to the "department" that whatever
credit belonged to Victor Moses
for the tvoewriter records he has
made should have been given him,
and that no attempt should have
been made to rob him of that which
is his just due. But, accredited
with permission to say things for
which nobody on earth is to be
responsible, (See Gazette April
5th.) wedded to the idea that
peo ole are fools and can be made
to believe any old statement, re
membering that it is an anonymous
campaign publication to be oper
ated during the campaign and then
disappear forever, having no repu
tation for purity, decency and
truth to sustain and no sponsor,
owner or friend to blush for its
shame, the "department" as a last
step in falsehood set up the claim
that typewritten records won't do
because the ink might fade. It is
in that statement that the "depart
ment" has hung itself, for when
Mr. Vincent asked the court nearly
two years ago for a record type
writing machine, he said, type
writing machines have been , in
vented for writing on., books ana
the records made by the same are
far superior to written records, as
evidenced by the work done by
said typewriter in the clerk's
office." The application of Mr.
Vincent which can be seen at the
clerk's office, is as follows:
"The Honorable County Court of
Benton County, Greeting;
"Whereas, the neatness, legibility
and durability of the records of the
county are of importance to the
taxpayers, citizens and public gen
erally, and
"Whereas, typewriting machines
have been invented for writing
upon books, and the records made
by the same are far superior to
written records, as evidenced by
the work done by said typewriter
in the clerks office, and
'Whereas, a number of taxpay
ers have suggested the purchase of
a book typewriter for the recorder's
office,
"Therefore, we respectfully ask
your honorable body to order the
purchase of such a typewriter for
the recorder's office, to belong to
the county, and to be a part of the
appurtenances belonging to said
othce.
Respectfully submitted,
T. T. Vincent, Recorder.
Corvallis, Oregon, Sept. 3, 1902.
In view of the above, Candidate
Vincent ought to require the "de
partment'' to once more print that
celebrated announcement, "The
Gazette or its owners are in nowise
responsible for anything that may
be said in this department." (See
Gazette April 5th.) That legend,
once more printed would assure
readers that it is not expected that
the "department" is to be believed,
and that therefore, in this matter
over which Mr Vincent and" the "de
partment differ so widely, it is the
"department" that is lying.
YAPPING FOR YATES, ,
The public doubtless wonders
why it has been considered tne
proper thing for the doorstep "pub
lication" to begin six weeks ago, a
persistent warfare - on Judge Mc
Fadden and the editor of the Times
and to keep it up with unceasing 1
venom and malignancy to the pres
ent. The purpose of that attack
was more particularly in the . in
terest of W. E. Yates, who. hoped
to profit for his own candidacy out
of the unreasonable and uncalled
for assault. There are . good and
sufficient reasons why Mr. Yates
should not be elected senator, and
it was hoped that in the furious at
tack on other persons Mr. Yates
unfitness for the office might be
lost sight of and he be permitted to
slip in by stealth. To be explicit,
in spite of the fact that the scores
and scores of republicans whom he
has jobbed by some scheme or ' an
other are the ones who are most
anxious to secure his defeat, : Mr.
Yates wants to hamboozle the
people once more by ' holding up
Tudee McFadden as the only man
that is opposed to him. In short,
Mr. Yates wants to cet himself be
WITHIN ELEVEN DATS.
Pioneer Brother and Sister Buried
, Death of Jennie Locke Borland.
Mrs. Faithful Jane Borland died
at the Good Samaritan hospital in
Portland last Thursday, of hemor

were brought to Corvallis Saturday.
The funeral occurred, from the home
of Alfred Locke Sunday, the servi
ces being conducted by Rev. Reeves"
Interment was in the locfce . cem

fore the people in the attitude of

tyrized more people than he can
remember. He wants to get the
bogus idea abroad that somebody
wants to vaccinate him, when in
fact he has vaccinated more re
publican candidates and republican
delegates than was ever done by
any other score of republicans or
democrats in Benton county. :
This is Mr.u Yates' newest scheme
and it is part explmation of why
there is a headless "department,' '
an announcement that nobody , is
responsible forit (See Gazette April
5th) and one of the wildest, weird
est campaigns that anybody ever
heard of.
in Benton
The place
of her birth was on the old Locke
homestead, five miles north of Cor
vallis. She was married in 1881 to
S. H. Borland and immediately
thereafter went to California to re
side. In that state Mrs. Borland
suffered a stroke of paralysis, and
in the spring of 1903 the family re
turned to Corvallis. The following
June deceased was converted and
joined the M. iv church, boutn,
and lived a true christian life up to
the time of her demise.
, , Sometime ago. Mrs.; Borland went
to Portland, and after many months
of suffering a second stroke of
paralysis confined her to her bed,
and finally resulted in death. '. .
The immediate survivors are a
1 5 year-old son, the husband, and
three brothers. The funeral Sunday
took place within 300 yards of the
spot on which stood the house in
which Mrs. Borland was born.
