'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.

GOT A TEAR.
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.

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. -

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.
