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.

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. . ,

!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.
