Corvallis Tijnes Official Paper of Benton County. CORVALLIS, OR JULY 15, J905. THERE ARE OTHERS. Senator Mitchell of Oregon is not alone in his disgrace. On the other side of the continent there is a man more notable who can grieve with the senator in his grief and sympathize keenly with him in his extremity. Senator Chauncey M. Depew of chief after dinner speaker of the age widely popular socially for a genera tion and an all round athlete in rail roading, politics and business has even a greater stigma on his name than has the melancholly senator from Oregon. Depew who once had a strong vote in the national republican convention for the pres idency, whose name for decades has been as much mentioned flattering ly in the newspapers as that of any other man . who has held a position in the public eye attained by few men, is apparently guilty of trans actions far more shady than that of which Senator Mitchell has been found guilty. Though not a law yer, save that long years ago he was admitted to the bar, he has for years been drawing a salary of $20,000 a year as attorney for the Equitable Assurance Society, which society has been the pecul iar and especial prey of high-toned pirates for a long time. To this is added questionable transactions of the Depew Land Company in which large sums of the Equitable's mon ey seems to have been squandered, the expose of which has set Yale College graduates to engage in a movement to force Senator Depew out of the Board of control of that institution. Though without a conviction in the courts and per haps beyond reach of it, Depew at theage of 73 falls from a pedestal of lofty and respectable repute to the level of an ordinary grafter, over whelmed with contumely, loaded with shame and jeered at by the multitude. The story of Depew, that of the notorious Judge Hooker of New York, the exposure of swindles in the cotton bureau in the department of Agriculture, the revelations of the packing house robberies and other known and unknown swind les by prominent figures among men is all interesting reading here in Oregon, in that it is evidence that we are not the only sinners and that our own notorious John H. is not the only grand old fraud. COMMITTEE WANTS INFORMATION. As to who has Paid for Sewers JShortage Nearly Two Thousand. Those who have paid the police judge for lateral sewers construct ed in Corvallis are requested to notify the finance committee of the council, consisting Of P. Avery, George Lilly and W. G. Emery. Such as have receipts are request ed to show them to the committee, so that it can be definitely ascer tained which of the laterals have and which have not been paid tor by the property owner. Until this point is settled, by the committee which is now working on the Gref foz books, the true amount of the. shortage cannot be fixed. The figure now stands at$i,875. The sum that has been turned over to the treasurer, is $9,139. If the committee has now the correct facts as to what sewers have been paid for,' the sum turned over should have been $11,014. The latter is about the sum if no inter est has been collected. If interest was collected the figures may be slightly raised. As far as the committee can de termine, the shortage is confined entirely to sewer funds. The city paid with warrants for the sewers, and entrusted the collection to the police judge. Instead of paying all . amounts so received over to the treasurer, some of them seem to have been withheld, and it is tfius the shortage occurs. All the fines, and all the licenses seem to have been regularly and faithfully turn ed over to the treasurer. As soon as the committee can communicate with all who have bad lateral sew ers built, the whole question will be accurately settled and the report be ready for the council THEIR LONG MARCH. Over Five Hundred Miles They are ten Years old and Upwards. A novel feature of life was pre sented Wednesday and Thursday in the visit to Corvallis of the Congre gational Cadet Corps from Eureka, California. The corps comprises 67 boys from 10 to 19 years of age. The lads have marched every step of the way from Eureka to Corval lis, a distance of 413 miles, and ex pect to continue the journey afoot to Portland, by which an additional 98 miles will be covered. They have been a month on the way, and are to reach their destination by the 20th, which is Humboldt day at the Fair. Their arrival in the Ex position City will be at 10 o'clock in the morning, and they will be met by 200 people of Eureka and be escorted to their camp site on the Fair grounds where they are to rendezvous for eight days. After that they return to Eureka by steamer. In Corvallis, the lads were gen erally admired for the good Amer ican grit they manifest in their long march. They were neatly uniform ed in blue shirt, Khaki trousers, leggings and canvas hat, and pre sented a comely appearance. One youngster was but 10 years of age and several others were but little more. They had. no trouble what ever in making 20 miles a day if oc casion required, was the statement of Captain Emery, U. S. A., in cnarge ot tne corps. 1 ne average march was however, much less, netting between 13 or 14 miles per day. There were d;versions on the trip with hunting and fishing in the mountains through several chains of which the boys passed. In the entire month when Corvallis was reached, there had not been a single case of sickness in the camp. The corps camped on Third street in the rear of the steam laundry. They are well provided m the way of camp outfit, two wagons doing duty for their bag gage and commissary. Thursday at noon they gave an exhibition drill on Main street, going through military maneuvers with creditable precision. The same afternoon they played a game of baseball with Corvallis lads, and got gracefully skinned, In the evening they gave an entertainment in the Opera House, which was' witnessed wifi much satisfaction by a good au dience. The proceeds went to de fray as far as it would, the current expenses of the little travelers The account, is that .these boys never swear, that they do not use tobacco in any form, and they are universally kind and considerate of each other, and that their manli ness is not only manifest while on the march but in the bivouac. Af ter a two days sojourn at Corvallis they broke camp early yesterday morning, and left for the north The boys doubtless will, as they ought to, command much attention when they reach Portland. Their officers are, Clark L,. Emory, U. S. A., captain; Joe Moore, 1st lieuten ant: Wallace Mulland,- 2nd lieuten ant; Fred Brown, seargent. Notice.

Lowe, was ask ed by the Times for her impres sions of Oregon. Below is a brief article contributed by her. Mrs. Lowe is a member of the Eastern Star, the W. C. T. U. and oft he M. E. church South, and during her stay at Hotel Corvallis is not by any means without good friends. "Through Oklahoma," says Mrs Lowe. ' 'the eye is relieved by green j growing corn, harvested wheat and oats and new mown, hay until Western Kansas is reached. There it is a desert, stretching miles and miles where nothing living is seen, beast, bird nor insect. Colorado Springs is indeed a glorious change villages, towns and cities ot enter prise are passed, with much scen ery indescribably grand, on either side, many miles of which, through the Rockies, there is only room for the train to pass. Utah and Idaho presented little to the tourist's eye. Oregon grew and grew in magnific ence and grandeur as on we sped un til "Watch Tacoma grow" seemed the pass word. 'See Oregon grow' is what it seemed to us from the time we entered the state until we reached Portland, feeling that city was full grown, wideawake and duly sober, yes, sober to her best interests. The whole atmosphere is impregnated with the perfume of fine roses. "Speaking of Corvallis, here the college, the schools, the hotel and the churches bespeak much for the enterprise of your people, and tell the story of their character. From my window in my hotel the move ments of busy men and woman passing hither and thither, tell the story of 'thrift and enterprise. The flowers, the fruit, the freedom with which the owners use them, give the visitor from less favored climes the heartiest welcome and a lofty estimate of this spot. , The cordial ity of the people, the mild climate, the exhilaiiting sea breeze, the massive shade trees, offering pro tection from sunshine and rain, all these make the visitor loth to leave Corvallis. "To my mind, one of the most creditable establishments is Hotel Corvallis. For a country town, it fis a caravansary with its magni ficent service, to be proud of, and one that brings your town into most favorable notice, not only at home but abroad." Suitable Reward.

Chicken stealing has been in vogue over in Linn county and the sequel to it Wednesday evening was a shooting in which a thief got a dozen buck shot. The shooting transpired on the premises of Mr. Bullis, half a mile west of the Oak ville church and about six miles from Corvallis. A sick horse kept Mr. Bullis up till a late hour. For a month, the- nocturnal disappear ance of chickens from various farms has kept the neighborhood on the alert. The click of the latch to tne chicken.; house door attract ed Mr . Bullish attention while he watched with hfshorse about mid night. It was loon apparent that ajthief Jwas at work. With a gun in hand, Mr. Bullis waited his opportunity, and fired. A second shot brought a yell of pain from the intruder as he 7 fled from the place and disappeared in the brush near by. Thus the incident ended, and thus one thief got dose- that will cure him of his tf ouble, tem porarily at least. Great Dissolution Sale!
