Corvallis Times Official Paper of Benton oanty. CORVALLIS, OR, AUG. 19, 1905. AS TO LAND FRAUDS. . At Portland jury lists are being drawn and other preparations are on for renewal of the land fraud trials. Behind the prosecutions is President Roosevelt and the de partment of justice of the United States. The cases are a sequel to a system of land-grabbing and high handed grafting that has been pur sued in Oregon by high and low for several years. It is notorious that the public domain has been preyed upon by land pirates until little remains of what was once a magnificent heritage of land and forest. Perjury, subornation of perjury, forgery and fraud of every character have been invoked in the raid on the people' s domain and what is most astonishing, those set up to defend and protect the inter ests of the commonality have act ually become privy, as the testi mony well shows, to those wicked manipulations. The efforts of President Roose velt to uncover these frauds and punish the perpetrators is an ex . ample to appeal to every loyal citi zen and one that all such citizens should assist to the extent of their opportunity. The attempts of those who defend in these trials to dis credit the efforts and impugn the motives of the prosecution are ad missions of weakness and signs of guilt, for Theodore Roosevelt and those behind him are hardly the men to have unworthy designs or improper motives in pushing these land fraud trials. THE TAGGARTS. The public has heard now how Major Taggart taught Mrs. Tag g irt to drink, how Mrs. Taggart taught the children to drink, and how it was her habit most of the time to be tolerably drunk. By holding its nose, the public has al 1s waded through the published de tails far enough to learn that the brave major was in the habit of slapping his wife to make her tell what man she had been out with, and also that she was , accustomed to spend many of herevenings with other men, remaining out as late sometimes as three o'clock in the morning. Out of all the vaf ious t lies told in court in this divorce cise, it in apparent that the majors, colonels, generals, lieutenants . and captains in this particular set are all in all an ornery lot, living in habits that shame decency and that are very certainly demoraliz iig to the army. The whole crowd ought to be kicked out of the army and be set to work to earn a liveli hood by the fame hard toil that falls to the lot of other and . much better folk. BENTON'S EXHIBIT. Far Better Now Is Very Attractive What This Writer Says . About it. To the Editor: On return to the fair after a few day's absence I was much pleased with the change found in the Ben ton county exhibit. S. E. Trask is certainly an artist and has wrought almost a miracle with our exhibit. Order has been brought out of cnaos, intelligent arrangement is seen throughout the" booth, grace ful grouping of the fruits of tree and field has baen carried to such perfection that the whole effect is most charming. - The twin beauties, Ceres and Po mona, are now domiciled with our exhibit and smile upon the visitors from every nook and corner. No one passes us without taking a look - and our booth is gaining in favor and winning admiration every day. Our grains of course, will remain fresh and bright throughout the fair but fruits and vegetables soon become stale and must be renewed. Our people should continue to send specimens of the best they have for every day thousands of people are here to admire them." This is our golden opportunity for advertise ment, let us do our best. - I predict that all the bread cast upon those waters will return to us. G. A. Waggoner. NEARLY FIFTY BUSHELS. Wheat Yield on College Farm Rota tion of Crops Made it Possible. A wheat yield of 46 bushels and 40 pounds per acre was produced on the college farm this season. It was a field of 20 acres, on which there were three varieties. The Oregon White Winter made a yield of 46 bushels and 4o, pounds, the Aeton Winter wheat went 42 bush els and 53 pounds', and the Chal lenge White Winter, 37 bushels and 7 pounds. ' The figures are widely at variance with the aver age yield over the Willamette Val ley, but they are genuine, and the conditions under which the growth was made are such as may be put into vogue on any farm in the val ley. That at least ia the declara tion of Dr. Withycombe. Oats on the same farm went 40 bushels and barley 40 bushels per acre. No ar tificial fertilizers were used, except that land plaster was applied tc clover during the progress of crop rotation on the fields in question. Crop rotation is described as re sponsible for the yield, which is more than twice as large as the av erage crop throughout the valley. The rotation on the wheat land in question comprised two years of clover, a crop of corn, and a crop of wheat. In 1899 the field, which had produced grain almost contin uously for nearly 40 years was giv en 12 loads of barn yard manure per acre. This was ploughed un der eight inches. The next spring the land was thoroughly disced and planted to corn, which yielded a good crop for the silo. As soon as the crop was harvested, the land was disced and winter wheat was drilled in. The following March six pounds of red clover and two pounds of Alsike seed was sown over the wheat and about April 1st 75 pounds of land plaster per acre was applied. The wheat that year yielded 4 1 bushels per acre. Before that time the average ? yield had been about fifteen bushels. The next yer the first "crop of clover was cut for silage, and yielded 12 tons of green forage per acre. .' The second crop was cut for hay, yield ing one and one-half tons per acre. The next year the field was sown witn peas and oats and pro duced six tons of green forage per acre. In the spring of 1904, 15 tons of barnyard manure per acre was applied and the field planted to corn which yielded a good crop for silo. Iast fall, the field wa? disced and sown to wheat, and last March six ponnds of red clover and two pounds of Alsike seed was sown per acre with the result that there is a good stand of clover now, and an average yield of 40 odd bushels of wheat per acre Dr. Withycombe maintains that the same conditions may be attained on large as well as on small farms. If barnyard manure is not available the growing of the legumes as ro tation crops will steadily improve the fertility of the soil. The farms of the Willamette vallev are by no means exhausted. If leguminous crops were more generally grown so as to maintain a good percentage of organic substance in the soil, the crops of this valley could be easily doubled w'thin four years.

A horse trade with a hatful of sequels to it has kept things in a fiucter for the past few days. J. E. Schenck of Linn county, came to Corvallis to buy a horse of Walter Taylor, of Benton county. And he bought it. It was a good horse, and the price was $140. It was paid for with a check on an Albany bank which check Mr. Taylor now has, andlhe also has the horse under at tachment, and Schenck of Linn, is at the business end of a law suit. It was Monday that the trade happened. That afternoon, Schenck apparently happy in the possession of his new liorse, journeyed home. The next day he brought the horse to Mr. Taylor, and urged him to trade back. When asked if the horse was not as represented, Schenck said he was. When he was told that he would have to keep him, Schenck said there was no money in the Albany bank to make the check good. He asked Taylor to be permitted to put the horse in the barn, which was done. The next thing that happened wrs that Schenck, leaving his horse be hind, lit out for home. The next day was Wednesday, and it brought its portion of the sequel to this notable horse trade. Walter Taylor journeyed to Albany where he found thatoayment of the check had been stopped. There upon hegarnisheed Schenck' s mon ey in the bank, and the case will be tried in October in the circuit court of Linn. That was all that hap pened on Wednesday. Thursday came, and with it came more things a-doing. All this time the horse Schenck bought was tak ing the world easy in Walter Ta3' loPs barn. Before noon, Sheriff Burnett journeyed down to the barn and in the name of the State of Oregon, by the authority of the law thereof, and by virtue of his office as sheriff, he laid hands on the said horse and took possession of him on an attachment sued out by Walter Taylor as a part of his suit in Linn county in his effort to keep Schenck from getting the best end-of things in the sequel to this horse trade. Apparently, Schenck for some reason, rued his bargain and squealed in the effort to get out of it. Notice.

AT TWENTY FOUR, In a Grave Death of Roy Mattley Consumption his Malady." The mortal remains of Leroy Garfield Mattley were laid to rest in Odd Fellows cemetery yesterday afternoon. After an illness that began, when he w?s attacked with consumption two years ago, the young man passed away at the fam ily home, this city, at 6ve o'clock Thursday morning. There is little doubt but that his malady was contracted from association with a friend who died with tuberculosis. Young Mattley and the late Fred Houston were bosom friends. They graduated in the same class, and together they went to the Union experiment station as employes. There they were room mates, and were constantly together. It was in 1902 that they graduated from the Oregon Agricultural College, and it was shortly thereafter that they went to Union. There Fred Houston sickened with consump tion and within a few months died. His decline in fact-, was very rapid. Within a year after that, Young Mattley became ill, and the doctors called his trouble tuberculosis. He made a strong fight for life against the disease. He went to Califor nia and at Indio, 75 miles east of Pasadena, tented for six months on a desert 27 feet below the sea level, under sanitary arrangements des cribed as the most perfect for treat ment of consumption. The entire time was spent in the open air, and in observance of those regulations that science has prescribed as cura tive ot consumption. That was last autumn, but the attempt ended in a failure. After every resort possible in the way of treatment, the young man finally came home to die, though his vital ity was so great that it was months and months before he finally gave up the unequal struggle. The funeral occurred from the Christian church at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. The service was con ducted by Rev. Jones, pastor of the church. In response to a request from the family, Thomas Bijyeu, who was a classmate and a warm friend, delivered a brief address touching the student life of the dead youth. It is said of Roy Mattley that during his entire col lege course, he was never once tardy, and that he never missed a class. He was about 24 years of age, and was born in Missouri. The S.

The average man does not save to exceed ten per cent, of his earnings. He must spend nine dollars in living expenses for every dollar saved. That being the case he can not be too careful about unnecessary ex penses. Very often a few cents properly in vested, like buying seeds for his garden, will save several dollars outlay later on. It is the same in buying Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. It costs but a few cents, and a bottle of it in the house often saves a doctor's bill of several dollars.
