GorvalHs Times. BILLS ALLOWED. Official Paper of Benton County. OORTAXXIS, OBEGOK, JAN 11, 1906. TAX LEVY MADE. County Levy Lowest in Years Is 4.6 Hills Against 15 Hills Two ' Years Ago. This year, Benton county people will pay less taxes than they .paid last year. ; The levy was fixed by the county court at a meeting Thursday, and is 1.2 mills less than levy is 15.2 mills, as follows: State five mills; county, 4.6; state school, 3.6; road. 2. - The levy for iqo4 was 1.2 mills greater, being in - all 16.4, as foliowsr State, 5.8 mills; county, five; state school, 3.61 road, two. The total tax t be collected un der the levy is $66,242. The total valuation of taxable property is $4,467,840. Last year it was $4, 346,745. The five mill levy for state purposes will, if all be collect ed, whtch it will not be, yield a revenue of $22,339; the 4,6 leyy will yield for county purposes, $20,552, less the rebate allowed in the col lection of taxes which with non- collections will reduce the amount to something like- $18,000. The 3.6 levy for state school tax will re turn an aggregate 01 16,084, ana the two mill road levy, a total of $7,26.;. Corvallis people will pay five mills less than last year. The total lew in the town, is 22.2 mills, as follows: State, county and state school, 13.2; Corvallis city tax, sev en mills; Corvallis school district, two mills: total 22 2. Last vear. r Corvallis people paid a total levy of 27.4 mills. The year belore that, they paid 4 s mills. The lew for county purposes is ty in Benton. That was the claim which was five mills, nearly half a mill more than this year's county levy,' which is 4.6 mills. The levy for county purposes two years ago "was 10 mills. - THEY SOLD PERUNA An it's Against the Law Drouth and Druggists A Seance. The big drouth - had a funny phase Monday. - All the druggists in town have been selling Peruna. Peruna is one of the hottest things . in the way of an intoxicant that is going. It is about forty per cent alcohol or about 90 per cent pure intoxication. If a man wants to get drunk awfully quick, Peruna is said to be a hummer. ; ' - There has been a run on Peruna at the local drug stores since the drouth set in. Every : druggist in town sold it without reserve un - til Monday. Since that time a buyer can no more get. a bottle of Peruna at a local drug store than he can get a cork screw at a W. C T: U. convention. This is what happened: Deputy District Attor ney Bryson summoned all the drug gists to appear before him." When they had all got on the front bench in his office, he looked fierce and informed them that it N was a Viola tion 6f the prohibition law . to sell Peruna. All admitted " that -.' they sold.it. Each had a vision of $50 fine and the notoriety of being one of, the first defendants in a prose cution under the local option law. "Dn the drouth," thought one under his dreath., ' "D n Peruna and a dry town, anyway," sighed another to himself. , "I(d like to see anybody get Peruna or any thing else off of me after this," whispered another to the distressed comrade at his elbow. 5 "You can all go now; but don't sell any more bitters, or I'll put you through. I am going - to- enforee this law to the letter." said the dis trict attorney, and they filedout. . "; Chicken Feed. - - Cracked corn for chicken feed, any quantity from one sack to car load lots.

THE HORSE BUSINESS. 5 00 3 75 22 00 850 6 00 10 80 17 80 19 80 1 00 Recent Importations Give It a Promis- - tug Aspect Two magnificent three-year-old stallions are to be seen at the city stables in Corvallis. , They are a iortionof a shipment of twenty eight peTcherons, sbjres, Belgians and German coach horses imported by A. C. Ruby & Co., whose head quarters are at Pendleton. One of the animals wh eh the dealers hope to place in Benton county is a black percheron, three years old pas', weighs 1825 pouode.'aod has good action. He is a clo ely built am- j mal and is greatly admired by local horsemen. The other importation is a dapple brown shire, same age, weighs 1800 pounds, aod has many points of excellence. Both horses, or either of them would be a valua ble and permanent addition to the stock interests of the county. All good horses, of whatever class, at this time are in such He ms nd as to make prices remunera tive, but this is especially true of the larger draft horses which may be put into, light service at two years of age and placed on the mar ket when thtee years old. It is ob vious that the cost of. caring for a colt, of this class, until it is salable, is not so great as that of the driv ing or lighter draft animals which do not come into any class of work before they are four years of age or older. One of the obstacles to horse breeding in the farming communi ties, as distinguished from the range country, is the length of time which a colt must be fed before it may be placed upon the market. This bar rier was eiiminated in a degree some years ago by the introduction of stallions whose offspring could be put into service at an early age. Then came the "hard times" in the wake of the '93 collapse of business, which sent the price of horses down to zero and Iroze the enterprise of horsebreeders as well as of 'all other business men. The business of horse-breeding consequently went into a decline. It so remained for several years and it has taken time to build up. The business is just now in such a condition as to re ceive a strong stimulus from the in troduction of such ?yres as have re cently been brought into the state. Horses which at two and three years of age weigh 1800 - pounds, and which are' admirably developed at that age, are well calculated to insure prosperity to the business of horse-breeding. --' S. Y. Evans, a young man who, by the way, grew to manhood at4 Monroe, is in charge of the two horses particularly mentioned here in. He is-pleased to show the horses to interested parties, and is ready to discuss their merits with a view to making a sale of the ani mals. Call and see them. . CORVALLIS GROWS. Postoffice Receipts Seven; Thousand -' - - Now. . . ' According to the postoffice re ceipts, Corvallis had a .growth of ten per cent last year.. The : rev enues at the office reached in round numbers,. $7,000 for the year end ing December 31st. The increase for the year was 10 per cent, and for the last quarter of the year ov er the last quarter in the year be fore, was 15 per cent. Nothing so much demonstrates the growth of the town and community, as this certain barometer of the business conditions.. During the past seven years, the aggregate annual re ceipts of the postoffice have ; gone up from $4,4 to $7,600, or an in crease of nearly sixty per cent. . In the face of the figures, even the cy nical are. forced to acknowledge that the town is not Only growing, but git wing as swifty as a con servative spirit should desire that it should grow. I - ; -j Equally satisfactory is the show ing of the R. F. ! routes. There was an increase 01 about 18,006" packages- handled on the routes during the last three months of 1 Q04, over the number . handled during the same period in . 1903. The number of packages delivered and collected on the three routes ! during the last quarter in 1904 was 4955; during the same quarter in 1903, 31,378; increase 18,172, more than 6,000 per month. The heav iest increase was on route 3. Last year it was 11,217; this year, 22,037 Number two last year was .8,074; this, 12,966. ' Number one" last year was 12,087; this, 14,468. .- .- " Remember Nolan & Callahan's Januarj Sale is now running Jn full blast. Bargains all along. the line. "7 . - .
