J Corvallis Times Official Paper of Benton -Comity CORVALLIS, OrV SEPT. 20, 1905. "MORAL WELFARE:1 Here is the question: if Mike Inline wapted to start a saloon, why did ha not go to a place where sa loons are permitted by law, and where he could operate the business like a man, and like a law-abiding citizen? When he could no longer sell liquor in Corvallis, Beu Woldt quietly and decently tied up his goods and moved to Portland and engaged in -the liquor business there. Not so. however, with Mike Kline. "Not so, with Hooli ' gan. Not so, with exPresident Geer. Mr. Woldt, -a saloon keeper, was man enough and good citizen enough to respect the law, and when by a heavy majority Corval lis people prohibited his ss loon, he simply sought another place where his business was not forbidden That was honorable, It was man ly. It was good citizenship. Mike Kline is net that kind of a man. He proposes to sell liquor in Corvallis whether the majority of Corvallis people want it sold or not. That is exactly what he is doing, nothing more, , nothing less. It was but as y ester morn that Mike Kline settled among us. lt was but as yester eventide that SKx. Kline introduced marked cards into a social game of ; poker. :Even though so -newly and so recently one of us, how mighty is Mr. Mike Kline become;that he-runs a saloon in Corvallis. and dishes out tike drinks as he pleases, even though it is against the wishes of the ma jority of Corvallisites, and against the law of the land. The con dition suggests, perhaps, that .Cor vallis people d not kaow what they want, or svhat is best for them; and that Mr. Mike Kline does, and is going to make them have it whether they waat it or not. It is nothing more, nothing less than all this. w&en he thrusts his saloon among them, and keeps it there, laws and people toifche con trary, notwithstanding. Notice.

BIG DEAL m. But mot yet Consummated The Cor vallis Sawmill Sale Some Figures. The negotiations for the sale of the Corvallis sawmill to Messrs Douty and Patterson are again on. A point was reached in the big deal three or iour weeks ago where it looked like the transfer was to be consummated, but after there had beec an invoice of everything the trade miscarried. Negotiations have since been taken up, and at the'TiMES press hour yesterday an agreement was regarded as like ly. The deal involves, including the plant, lumber, logs and timber land, a 1 consideration of about ?42ooo. The Independence saw mill owned by Mr. Douty., is to go in as a part of the purchase price. The "figure is of course, not known, but it is said to be $10,000, the bal ance of the purchase price of the Corvallis property being made aip in cash. The Corvallis plant is said to go in at $r7,ooa TWO MORE CASES. Agaiast Club Officers Bail for Hooli ganTwo Interesting Ind-' dents. Vice President . Hooligan of the "Moral Welfare" .club was released from jail Monday afternoon, after an incarceration that began Friday evening. He was lodged in jail because unable to give bail for his appearance for trial next week for his doings as vice president of the clufe. His release finally came as a result of bail furnished in the sum of $600 with Fred Heijeye and P.. A. Kline as sureties. The incarceration of t&e vice president was attended with an in teresting incident Sunday evening.' The statement is that over at the club room volunteers were called for who would undertake to release Hooligan from jail by force. One well authenticated account is that it was also the plan to throw Deputy Wells in the jail and take Hooligan out. when it was time for the officer to take his evening meal to the vice president. Whether the proposed programme was the result of maudlin braggadocio 01 with sin eere purpose is not known. In any event, Sheriff Burnett. Chief Lane, Gfficer Oveilander, and Deputy Wells were all notified and prepara tions were made to prevent mis chief. . It is said that six members actually volunteered for the errand, but as they made no demonstration, the incident closed in perfect peace Two new cases iiave been added to the list of indictments that now con front officers of the club. Both name as defendant President Seer, Vice president McMaines and Secretary and Treasurer Kline. They lift the number of cases to six in all. In all stow, Kline is under $2,400 bonds, - Hooligan, , $1,000, Miline $800 and Geer, $800. An episode of Sunday was Vice President Hooligan's tefusal of bail offered by F. L. Millet. It occurred in the jail, into, which Mr. Miller and Robert Johnson casually drop ped while IJeputy Wells was at the glace. "Do you want out ?" said Miller. "Oh, yes," replied the vice president. ' 'Well, replied the well known merchant, "I will go youjr bonds if you will stay around here till court add then tell the truth." "Oh, I won't go back on Mike," replied the vice president. "I doa' c want you to go back on Mike; I just want you . to tell the truth, and if you will do so, I will go your bonds." "Oh, no," res ponded Hoolignn. "I can't; I am going to stand by Mike. "Well, replied the merchant, "if Mike is doing nothing wrong over at the club, why not tell the truth about it?" But the vicepresident with pro testations that he is going to stand by Mike refused point blank to tell the truth even for the sake of his liberty. Few men would find truth so hateful. . , THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Corvallie, Oregon, MAKES LOANS .on approvad se curity, and especially on wheat oats, flour, wool, baled hay, - chittim' bark, and all other classes of produce, upon the re ceipt thereof stored in mills and public warehouses, or upon chattel mortgages, and also upon other classes of good se curity.

A CONSERVATIVE general busi- .' ness transacted in all lines of banking, TWENTY CNE MILLION. !Eor Water Works -That is the Stu pendous Sum Los Angeles is , to .Spend. v- ' The proposition to vote $1,500, 000 of municipal bonds for the ac quisition of a city water supply from Owens rivef ; in Los Angeles recently, carried by an overwhelm ing majority. tOne of the largest votes ever cast an any similar pro ject was polled. The total vote was 11,477- roj693 for and 745 against. The total registered vote of the city is about 28.000, but it is seldom that so large a vote is poll ed on a bond proposition as record ed today. The result means that tbe city will proceed with the acquisition of water rights in the Owens valley and with the .preliminary surveys of the building of the long conduit to carry water to this city. The distance of the headwaters of Owens river to Los Angeles is 240 anile?. The entire proposition is estimated by experts to cost about $21,500, 000 and will require from three to four years to complete. A large percentage of the necessary water rights in Owens valley has already been secured is options by the city and the money voted today will be used for making payments on these properties and in acquiring . addi tional options. The route for the long conduit has already been investigated by engineers and experts and found to be feasible. The conduit will be constructed of cement of 30.000 inches capacity and the water will be carried the entire distance by .gravitation. The route lies through mountains, foothills, and valleys, several long tunnels through , the mountain ranges will be necessary. The average flow of water trom the available sources is expected to be about 20,000 miner's inches, or suf ficient for a city of forar times the present population of Los Angeles.
