Corvallis Times Official Paper of Benton County. CORVALLIS, OR, JULY 29, 1905. False Testimony. When Dave Osburn saw Blum berg and McGee meet on the bank corner and noted that they had something confidential to talk about, his official nose immediately scented iicker." When they sep arated and he followed them, up, saw them meet and pass something to each other, again he officially scented "licker". When he fol lowed McGee up. searched and took from him a fla?k of whiskey, then he knew it was "licker." When in court he swore to all this, and when Mr. Huff and Mr. Overland er fully corroborated, the jury, too, officially scented "licker" and ren dered a verdict accordingly. All this time McGee was swearing he didn't get "licker" of Jake, and Jake was swearing that he didn't sell "licker" to McGee. On the heels of it all come the confessions of both McGee and Blumberg that it was "licker." Did some one re mark that Blumberg has been hounded? Are men who swear to a lie, and then in order to escape prosecution for perjury own up that they swore to a lie, are such men martyrs? As to Dronth. "There couldn't be any more building than there is if Corvallis were wet, and there never was as much until it got dry," was a com ment in Wednesday's Times. It was not intended in the remark to convey the idea that the drouth caused the building boom. It was meant to say that the building and lots of it goes serenely on, notwith standing the fatal fact that the town is dry, and notwithstanding the further fact that those, who op posed a drouth predicted that it would bring ruin to business and calamity to the town. Calmly and dispassionately considered it means that the financial phase of the question as an argument against nouth is very largely eliminated. With reference to the building op erations, it is not probable that ma terial influence in that respect has leen exercised either way by the drouth. Some may be building . because the town is dry, but there are the Fiersteins, and perhaps oth ers, who for the sam: reason, have gone away. NEARLY THIRTY THOUSAND.

The stars were looking down about as they usually look at 10 o'clock at night. The Strong launch was afloat on the river, and thirty good people were in it, but it was not moving. The "chug, chug," of the gasoline en gine was not heard. Instead, but for the presence of 20 ladies, the frescoed and figurative speech of men out of sorts misrht have float ed'on the evening air. As it was these men had to monkey with an engine that did as it pleased, that wouldn't work for love or money, and had to do it with an air of piety and resignation worthy of as many male martyrs. , Nor was that all. There was water, several inches of it in the bottom of the boat, and nothing to bale with but a bucket that contain ed the Peruna. The latter was in the form of a gentle punch for use with the lunch. It was precious, awfully, desperately, precious to people from a drouth stricken down but the boat had to be baled, and the Peruna had to -be sacrificed. Of course, as much as the party could drink on the spur of the moment was saved. For a long time the labor with the disgruntled engine went on. At length the effort had to be given up. It wouldn't work. The shore was several yards distant and there was lots of wet water between it and the boat, Stranded, wrecked, lost with all on board was the condition of the craft, unless something was done. Volunteers were called for, to carry a line ashore. Judge Bry son responded, and plunged over board. He reached the bank, and with the line made fast, a landing was effected. Three miles to town, walking bad, Peruna gone, that was the situation. A bonfire was built, a camp im provis. d, and couriers were ordered sent out with" the news of the dis aster, ' Volunteers for the latter purpose were called for, and Dick Kiger and Robert Johnson respond ed. The destination was Ireland's, where there was a telephone, Per una. and a dog. Most of the par ty wanted the service of a telephone to summon conveyances, the cour iers wanted Peruna. The family was asleep, but not the dog. The couriers at the first onslaught climb ed a tree and with wild yells finally aroused Mrs. Ireland. "Call off your dog," shouted the couriers. "He won't hurt you: he is a bird dog," was the reply. "Ain't he got teeth ?' ' asked the couriers from their tree. "Yes; but if you shake your finger at him, he'll run under the house. " responded the lady. The couriers tried the experiment and it worked. The canine dived under the house at the first shake, and they had an unobstructed en trance. With the telephone, they summoned conveyances, and in due time, the party reached town, but not bv the water route, especially in the case of the couriers, who traveled the Peruna trail. For further information apply, to Robert Johnson, Grant Elgin. Richard Kiger, E. R. Bryson or any one of twenty odd ladies. Evening Telegram; Two girls who look so much alike that their own mother can hardly tell them apart and that strangers can see absolutely no point of difference be tween them, are visiting the Expo sition. They are Eva and Evea Applegate, twins, whose home is at. Yoncalla. The girls are exactly the same height and size, have hair and eyes of the same color and have every feature the -same, and to add to their striking natural similarity of appearance they always dress exactly alike. The girls , formerly attended the Oregon Agricultural College and many amusing inci dents are told of their school days in Corvallis. If an' instructor ask ed Mi?s Eva a question she didn't happen to know, Miss Evea might answer it and the professor never know the difference. If Evea had an appointment to go to a function and wanted to remain at home Eva could take her place and her escort never be any the wiser. ThUs it went all through the girls' college days, and they were a mystery to professors and students alike. Of ten some young man who had met one would begin a conversation with the other or recall some inci dent of an evening spent with the the'other, but the girls always knew how to appreciate such a difficulty. It was great fun for them to take advantage of such situations and the inability of people to tell them apart was an unfailing source of amusement. : Some farmers say the grain crop is good; others that it is light. The two views would seem to in dicate that there is a fair average. Teachers Examination.
