' Whether the letter ot warning was Signed at all, and if so. by whom, the Times did not learn. The statement of the sender of the mes sage was, that there is to be. an in vestigation, and that there is a sus pect in the case. , J. W. ' Ball, ex collector of customs for the Yaquina Bay dis trict, was out from Newport Thurs day. Jim used to have a bear, in the old days when the seaside bus iness at Newport was not so hifalu- tin, and fun was freer. Many a joke in which the bear furnished a musement for the seasiders. ' One season, a cowboy, or at least a young man who wore a cowboy hat, was among those at Newport at that time. ; He was in the act of climbing up a high bulkhead one oday, in front of Newport, , just as . the bear was being led. in that di rection. As the man's head ap peared above the wharf, the bear appeared there, too. . Both were equally' startled. With a hoarse growl the bear reared to an Upright r position, ready, apparently, for action. The cowboy ' didn't wait for further developments, r He let go all holds and fell to the beach below. He lit a-running.v "Jim Ball, I'll be if you don't get that 1 bear killed with your tt- foolishness." he yelled back. still a-running. Hon. T. F.

' Eugene Register: -"Friday will not be junior day. - The time honored custom of barricading Vil lard hall in order to make certain the hoisting of a junior flag was ended yesterday when the student body handed down the decision ' to the effect that junior day will here after be known and ; celebrated as campus day. Instead of the : sophomore-junior struggle arrangements have beenmaae for a general col lege labor day; According to ar rangements some wcrk will be done Friday, The old observatory on the -hill, will be destroyed and the fence about the campus is to be re- moved. The task of r demolishing the observatory will be' tamed over to the"1 college engineering club. The other men will beautify ythe campus. The college women will not assist in the work of removing the fence and destroying the ob servatory. Yet they will prepare a dinner to be given on the campus." All of which is very laudable and in striking contrast with the dis graceful and brutal scenes for which they,aretobe substituted. v. L0C4L OPTION COSTS. And Investigations Also Local Option Fines What the Balance Is. ; There has been much comment in town about an article sent from Corvallis and published in the Portland Telegram. The article says little but implies much, the purpose being to indicate that the enforcement of local option is cost ly to taxpayers, that drunkenness is widely prevalent, and that in general the experience in Corvallis is that the law is badly discredited by conditions. - The article is as follows: "Corvallis, Or. Miy 9. County court records for the session just closed show allowances for a large amount of fees to witnesses sum moned by the prosecuting attorney of the county in an effort to locate the 'blind pig', supposedsto be re sponsible for a large : number of 'jags' in evidence in Corvallis in spite of the fact that a rigid local option law is in force here. "That the suspected joint has pot been discovered is made pro bable by the fact that no arrests have been made, although the real reason is said to be the discloure th4t most of the -drunks' have been accumulated on liquor brought by freight or - express from Albany Salem, Portland and other . outside points. "One of the peculiar conditions arising from the operation of the local option law here is that a min or, old enough to write his name, can send the necessary money-order to outside dealers, and have beer wine or whiskey shipped to him in a sealed package, with no one any the wiser, and there is declared to be no question that this is being done regularly. Those who for merly drank at the bar now drink from the bottle. An Albany sa loon keeper is responsible for the statement that he is doing a business-of from $400 to $500 each month with Corvallis and vicinity.' The actual amount of costs paid at the late term of court on account of local option investigations was $47.90. Enough more bills-are said to be outstanding to raise the total to date, to about $75. Two convictions had on account of these investigations by Deputy District Attorney Bryson have yielded the county in fines $100. That puts the income $25 above the expendi tures, and it is extremely likely that more fines will be paid. The statement that minors, can send away and get liquor now if they want to, is no more true than before the local option law i was passed,! The statement of the'Al- banv saloon keeper is about such a statement as an Albany ' saloon keeper would be likely to make un der the circumstances. It is a sure bet that if he is selliDg Koo 1 a month to Corvallis that he 'would not blow about it, through fear that sorrebody else would get in and divi-ie up the business with him. A to the implied statement that con ' tions as to drunkenness are as h .d or worse now. than beiore the )'cal option law went into ef fect the residents of the town know whtt'aer that is true or not. - The unf rtunate thing in the article is thai the effect of1- its publication gives people "abroad an i icorrect and av detrimental es timate of conditions in town. -The -Times- did not help .pass the loeal option law nor help put it in effect, but while the measure is in "effect let it be fairly- tried and correctly stated. . - A Runaway Bicycle.
