Oorvallis Times. Official Paper ot Benton County COBVAIXJH, OKKOOIC, JULY 16, 1MM. 'JIEN2VNS . OPPORTUNITY. At the Lewis and Clark Fair, many of the visitors will be persons seeking a home in 'the West. To such, exhibits at the Fair, will be an index and guide pointing a way for them to find a location in har mony with their tiking. A liberal display there, oWhe best of the pro ducts Benton cangoduos will actu ally do more to bring new people ' into the county than will all the pamphlets that can be printed, all the advertising by other means that can be spread broadcast, or by any and all other influences for immigrant-getting combined. The home seekers will be right there afrthe Fair, and their coming, or their go ing will be almost immeasurably a mere question of diverting their at tention by display of the best pro ducts, such as the county will be a ble to make. The time and the oc casion, will be a ripe opportunity, that comes but once in a hundred years. The. question simply is, do we want new people, new blood, new wealth? Do we want more homes, jnore producers and do we "want to be bigger, stronger and richer community? Do we want customers for our merchants, more patrons for our mechanics; more men tdhelp bear the burden of tax ation? Will it then, not pay to col lect and send forward our best pro ducts, especially, when the Lewis and Clark Commission with unheard of liberality, actua&y offers to buy and pay for the exhibit? Can there be any doubt in this matter as to what ought to be done? Does the sun shine, and does night follow day? WILLIAM J. BRYAN. In spite of the ante-convention predictions that Mr. Bryan would bolt the nominees of the St. Lou is convention, he announces that he will support them heartily, and giv es his reasonsfor it. The prediction ists who were opposition newspapers, have a superficial estimate of Mr Bry an. He is a man of profound convict ions, unalterably devoted to the "right as it is given him to see it. He is intensely humanitarian, andbe lieves the application of his theories would be of immense benefit to the humbler classes. He is too honest to surrender - an opinion as an expedient, and, like Judge Park er, would not do so, even for the presidency. He is distinctively a reformer, and all reformers suffer abuse, ridicule, opprobrium, and in many instances, constant defeat. Owen Loveiov was dragged by a tnob through the streets of Boston, but three million slaves were freed. Right or wrong,' Mr. Bryan is, and will continue to be a factor and a powerful one in American politics, He is one of the idols of his party, admired and honored by many of those who differ widely with him in opinion. Even though his ideas be not adopted as a government po licy, they and the following back of them exert a powerful influence on these policies as is seen in in crease of the per capita volume of money in this country from $24. to $31, due in part to the demand in 1S96 and 1900 made by the demo crats for a more abundant supply of standard money. Mr. Bryan's support of the St. Louis nominees will add much im petus to their candidacy. It is a return of the support Judge Parker gave Mr, Bryan in 1S96 and in 1900. Differing then and differ ing now on the one point of the question of money each remained true to party and loyal to its can didate. Mr. Bryan's action is not surprising to those who believe in him. They expected nothing else. Portland and Return. Only $3.00.

Young DeBois Did But his Father was Acquitted Third Man in ! v Robberies. . - - Sbiriff Ross passed through vallis Wednesday, enroute to Salem with prisoners for the penitentiary. One of them was young De Bois, who with his father, spent some time in the Benton County jail. He was convicted and got a sentence of a year, but his father was acquitted. A third man appeared in, the case, and along with young De Bois, he was sent lor a year at the state peni tentiary The latter is Tareld Tel lefson, and in the testimony at the trial it appeared that the two, and perhaps others, were part of an or ganized band who had deliberately planned the robbery of summer cot tages for a livelihood. Young De Bois pleaded guilty, says the Alba ny Herald, to the charge of larceny in a dwelling and Telletson stood trial, was found guilty by a jury, and each was sent up for one yearK the lowest sentence the court could impose. George H. De Bois, father of the young prisoner of that name, a iormer minister, was also arrest ed and tried on the same charge but was acquitted. Sheriff Ross stated that the elder DeBois had his entire family in court during the trial and one 01 his little children was about his neck nearly through the entire term of court. This seems to have made an impression on the jury, for the acquittal. It is stated that when the jury first retired they stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal, and later changed to ten for convic tion, but finally a verdict of acquit tal was reached, probably owing to the helpless condition of the family whose main support the father is. During the month of April the Nye Creek cottage of State Senator W. A. Howe, of Carlton, Yamhill county, one of the finest at the beach, Was found to have been en tered by thieves and a large quanti ty 01 the furnishings such as bed clothes and furniture, had been sto len. The stolen goods were found buried in a box in the old man's garden. The younger DeBois pleaded guil ty after his associate had been con victed. But the father stood trial and escaped the penitentiary. Bird cages at Hollenberg & Cady. Buy your harvesting outfits at Nolan a Callahan's. REDUQED EXCURSION, RA.TES Prom S. P. and C. & E.

Therefore, I highly recommend I Snow Liniment to all who are troubled MUST CONNECT. With Sewers if Proposed Legislation is Adopted by City Council. A movement is on foot for all Cor-IP1".0!1 owners in blocks served with laterals to make complete and proper sewer . connections. . With this purpose in view, an ordinance will be reported for consideration at thenext meeting of the city council. The passage of such an ordinance: was recommended by the Health committee of the council, after a tour of the city in which conditions with respect to water closets slops, I and other waste were fully investi-N gated. "Deplorable," was the word used by the committee in submit ting its report 'to the council, which, report embodies a recom mendation for legislation that would require sewer connections to be made where property is served by laterals. ... The report of the com mittee, is in part, as follows: f "We have examined such water closets, etc, and find a deplorable condition of affairs along this line in the city. In many blocks ad jacent to sewers there are no , se wer connections whatever and in some places only one or two connections along an entire sewer. In block one, city of Corvallis, there are nine barns and stables and 11 water closets all in use and not a single sewer connection although a new lateral sewer extends through the block. In the block on west side of Main street running from Hom ing's grocery store to Simpson's hardware store, there is only one sewer connection, one that has been put in by a chinaman. These are fair samples of the general condi tions of water closets, etc. We recommend that immediate steps be taken by the council for the passage of an ordinance com pelling property owners to make sewer connections wherever pos sible, v W. R. Hanseij., - ' " , W. G. Emery, Tayi,or Porter. The report of the committee was adopted, and the city attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance carrying out the recommendations of the committee. In the discus sion of the report, it developed that a large number of the councilmen are in favor of requiring universal connections with the sewers in prop erty served by laterals and water. An argument used, was, that the city has expended $15,000 or $16, 000 in the construction of sewer mains, and that unless property owner connect toilets and kitchen sinks with them, the fruit of the large expenditure of money is lost. The proposed ordinance has- not yet been prepared. It will doubt less be in line with those in other towns. - Remember Nolan H Callahan's Great Redaction Sale of summer goods is now running in full blast. Bargains all alone the line during July. . ..

MINERVA INGRAM, An old Pioneer Laid to Rest at Monroe Last Sunday. Mrs. Minerva Ingram, notice of whose funeral appeared in the last issue of the Times, was born . in Wilson county, Tennessee, Febra rary 8th, 1824. Her death occurred at Coberg, Oregon, July 9th,, 1904. In early childhood, she moved with her parents to Illinois, later resid ing in Arkansas, in February, 184 1, she was united in marriage to James Ingram, and with her husband came to Oregon in 1852, making this state their permanent home. Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Ingram, eight of whom are living. . "Grandma Ingram, as she was familiarly known, will long be re membered for her noble, ' womanly character, and her sterling worth as a true and conscientious christian. At the funeral, a large . number of relatives and friends , gathered to pay a last tribute of respect to an other of Oregon's pioneers, as dust was consigned to dust again. . The service was conducted by Rev. Handsaker, of Corvallis, and inter ment was in the Monroe cemetery. Change of Creed. Evangelical church circles of the city, are stirred, says the Portland Journal, over the resignation of Rev L. M. Boozer, pastor of the First United Evangelical church of this city, from .the Evangelical denom ination. Mr. Boozer will join the Presbyterian church. A prominent member of Mr. Boozer's former church said thi9 morning': 'Mr. Boozer resigned his pastor ate in April at the annual session of conference, but he wished to keep the matter very quiet and, in fact he wished to withdraw without the consent of his congregation. "He is now in Union, Oregon, occupying the pulpit of - a Presbv- tertan church, while the regular pastor is absent. "Mr. Boozer was a very bright, ambitious young man. We have not yet found anyone to fill his place. , " "I don't know " what he intends to do, but I hardly think his plans are to stay in this city, I do not know when he will return." Mr, Boozer was called from Chi cago to accept the pastorate of the .first church.
