THE CASE APPEALED.
To the Circuit Court Kline
and Hooligan Fighting Pay
ment of Fine.
The case of Mike Kline and Mer
win McManes has been appealed to
.the circuit court. The men, the
Times readers will remember, were
tried before Justice Holgate, and
sentenced to pay a fine of $300
each for violation of the local option
law. The notices of appeal were
served upcn Justice Holgate, Dep
uty District Attorney Bryson, J. D.
Wells and others connected with
the case, Thursday. The bond
has been fixed by Justice Holgate
at $800 and at last accounts was
about to be given with P. A. Kline
as one of the sureties.
.The appeal, of course, is to the
circuit court, where the case will
be tried before a jury and all the
testimony be introduced just as
though there had been no trial be
fore the lower court. After that
if the side that loses wants more of
the litigation, it can get it by going
to the supreme court. From all the
expressions the Times has been able
to hear from attorneys, not one has
suggested the chance of a victory
for the derendants in any court.
One well known attorney of Albany
who has been a defendant' s counsel
in cases for violation of the local
option law, expressed the opinion
flatly that if the complaint in these
cases be properly drawn, there is
practical certainty that all attempts
to defeat the operation of the law
whether by club or otherwise, will
bring conviction and unhappy con
sequences to tho;e engaged, Ev
ery sign in factf suggests trouble,
sure for the principles, and nobody
knows what unfortunate mix-ups
may be in store for those who are
only members. The present ap
peal will come up for a hearing at
the November term of circuit court,
to convene in a couple of months.
The club is still in operation.
Mike Klne gives out that he has
resigned as secretary and treasur
er. It is in fact stated that all the
officers have resigned.
Several club members claim they
have severed their connection with
the shebang. Raids by the officers
past and such as the future may
bring, and the publicity incident
thereto, was a thing some of the
more modest members shrink from.
Besides, there is that possibility,
more or less remote; that, sincethe
whole thing is unlawful, any or all
the members might at any time get
into unpleasant situations, if not
actually in the courts. Few men
care to become involved before the
courts as privy to a business con
ducted in violation of law by Mike
Kline and Hooligan. The very
fact of membership is more or less
remotely, association as an aider or
abettor in a sham to set at naught
the will of a large majority of the
people, expressed at the ballot box.
It was because they did not wish to
get themselves in such an attitude
before the public, that some of the
late members have withdrawn.
They know the place to be a saloon,
pure and simple, nothing more,
nothing less. They know it is op
erated in full defiance of law. They
do not wish to assist in law break
ing and that is why they have pul
led out.
In the appeal, Weatherford &
Wyatt of Albany, are attorneys for
Kline, Hooligan & Co.

CALLING FOR BIDS.
For Construction and Material for Wa
ter Works Bond Sale Octo
ber Ninth.
October 9th is the date for open
ing bids for Corvallis water bonds.
September 25th is the date for open
ing bids for supplying all the pipe
to be used in the system. A date
will be set later for receiv
ing bids for clearing the right of
way, making the excavation and
back filling, pipe laying and doing
other work in the construction of
the system. The dates were all
fixed at an adjourned meet;ng of
the Water Board, held in the coun
cil chamber Friday evening.
In calling for bids for pipe, the
specifications are made to include
steel piping, at least with reference
to the distribution system within
the city limits. Representatives of
metal pipe claim they can put the
steel pipe, at least for the city dis
tribution mains, within reach of the
Water Board. They . have urged
that the specifications be modeled
so as to allow them to make bids,
and this has been cheerfully done
by the Board. Engineer . Miller
thinks it likely that under the pe
culiar conditions that exist, a very
low bid for supplying material
should be secured. The bidders all
know . that the system is to cost
very close to the limit of funds
available, and that only a reduction
of pipe prices to the minimum will
enable the work to proceed.
Along with the bids for material,
there will be received bids for the
construction work. A feature
of the labor contracts is the clear
ing of about three miles of right of
way, from which considerable tim
ber nd brush will have to be cut.
A number of .Alsea men have in
quired about the work with a view
of bidding. The specifications for
the material and construction con
tracts are in the hands of Engineer
Miller. . There are four wood pipe
factories on the Coast, three in
Washington and one at L,os Anges
les. all of whom are expected to bid
besides the steel pipe concerns -
The advertisement for sale of the
bonds is now ronniag . in the Port
land Oregonian, and in Eastern in
vestment publications. The inter
est is a quarter of a cent ' lower than
the average at which bonds are sell
ing in the.eastern financial markets,
but it is figured that the excellent
character of the security will make
them go with bids to spare. To
begin with, water bonds are said to
be much sought by bond buyers.
They are especially safe on account
of the income incident to the water
business, which in gravity systems
is always profitable. Behind the
local bonds is not only the water
receipts with stringent statuotory
provisions protective of the bond
holder, but there is the credit of the
city, with an indebtedness of only
$,22,000 and a property of $1,250,
000. Mortgage loans in a private
way are sometimes made covering
fifty to 76 per cent of the value of
the property. In the proposed
Corvallis water bond issue, the loan
including the present city debt is
considerably less than eight per
cent of the value of the property,
all with the water p'ans and water
receipts excluded.

BIGGEST IN COUNTY
New Store Building at Monroe Has
Hundred and Twenty Foot
Frontage."
Monroe is soon to have the big
gest store building in Benton coun
ty. It is now in process of con
struction for the use of the well
known Wilhelm firm, . and W. O.
Heckert is the builder. It has a
frontage of 120 feet, all plate glass.
The glass arrangement is 130 feet,
passing along the entire frontage
and then turning the corner to a
distance of ten feet. There are
three entrances, and a gallery
around three sides. The depth of
tbe building is eighty feet. Its
floor space is 9,600 feet, or exactly
the size of the College Armory. It
has more than twice the floor space
of any store room in Corvallis.
The building is rapidly nearing
completion. When finished it will
be occupied by the huge stock of
merchandise carried by the Wil
helms, whose mercantile operations
involve a wide area of southern
Benton and northern Iar e, being
pne of the largest business concerns
in the Willamette Valley.
In addition to the Vig store build
ing, Mr. Heckart is just completing
for Adam Wilhelm Sr. a residence
that is perhaps the costliest in the
county. Dr. Farra's residence in
Corvallis is the only other residence
that matches it in point of compar
ative value. The Wilhelm struct
ure cost $8,000. It embodies every
modern convenience and is a home
fit for a king. It will be ready for
occupancy within a short time.

One Dollar Savd Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.
The average man does not save to exceed
ten per cent, of his earnings. He runs t spend
nine dollars in living expenses for every
dollar saved. That being the case he can
not be too careiul 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.
