Corvallis Times Official Paper of Benton County. CORVALLIS, OR, OCT. i, J905. FOUR FIRST PRIZES Great Showing by Miller's Fancy Poultry Other Local Winners. The great Lewis & Clark poultry show has passed into history, and true to her reputation Corvallis fur nished her share of the winners. Dr. Lester won hen and pullet in White Wyandottes, with two en tries in a very large class. J. M. Porter won second and fifth pullets Silver pencilled Wyandottes with entries against St. Louis World's Pair winners, and W. A. Bates second cockerel in Rhode Island Reds, with two entries. The pullet winning first over Mr. Porter was raised from eggs purchased of him last spring. Benton county has more fine poultry than any other county in the state, size considered. Birds were on exhibition at this show from every section of the "United States," and, in the opinion of those who know, the White Wy andottes, White Plymouth Rocks and Buff Orpingtons were fit to exhibit in any poultry show in the United States. A successful breeder of fancy poultry must also be an expert poultry judge. At this exhibition the greatest of its kind ever held on the Pacific Coast, birds entered for single prizes could not compete for pen prizes. In Buff Orping tons F. L. Miller & Son entered but three birds for single prizes, a hen, pullet and cockerel, winning fiirst on each " of the three, while other exhibitors in the same variety entered as many as three dozen birds. These three birds of Mr. Miller's are from a special mating of his own, and were pronounced by the several judges to be the nearest true type of an Orpington, and the best even shade of rich gol den buff that they had ever judged. The judges in the Buff Orpington class were . Theo. Hughes of In dianapolis, males; Judge Holden of Minn., president of the American Poultry Association, females; and W. W. Browning of Ogden, Utah, pens. In Buff Leghorns Miller and son also won first and second cock birds with two entries, the birds being veterans in the show bus iness, having a string of first prizes to their credit from San Francisco, Seattle, etc., and were formerly owned by Gene Simpson.

Jury Out Only Long Enough to Take a Ballot Kline and Hooligan. After a threevMays' trial, Mike Kline and "Truthful" Hooligan were convicted in Justice Holgate's court Wednesday of violating the local option law. The jury was out but ten minutes, and, according to the statement of one of the jurors could just as well have done the thing in a minute, except that they wanted to be decent. One of the jurors has since said that no jury of men in Benton county, if guided by reason and sincerity, could do any thing else than return a verdict of guilty under the evidence and the law. The evidence of guilt he de clared to be so overwhelming that there is simply no chance for any other kind of a verdict. What makes the statement of peculiar weight, is that the juror in ques tion is not in sympathy with the lo cal option law. The trial came to an end when the case went to the jury at 5.30 Wednesday evening. It had been in progress since nine o'clock Mon day morning. A long list of wit nesses for both sides were examin ed. The by-laws and what pur ported to be minutes of the meet ings at the joint were among the evidence offered for the defense. The universal opinion is that both were of far more value to the pros ecution than to the defendants. For instance, one place in the so called minutes declared that at a certain meeting the officers of the club reported that the club had been raided and that Kline and Hooligan had been fined $300 each. Thereupon, the narration contin ues, the members present passed a vote of confidence in their club offi cers. It was also "further resolved that the pernicious activity of Dis trict Attorney Bryson and the other officers of the law is hereby con demned." A smile of derision swept over the faces of the jurors as Deputy Attorney Bryson read from the minutes, and there is no doubt but that the record had a contrary ef fect to that intended by the defense. As in the former cases, it became perfectly apparent that the place is nothing else than a saloon, con ducted without license and in de fiance of law, with Mike Kline as the probable owner, and with Hooligan and Milne as satellites. Also that drinks are served in quan tities to suit, and that they are paid lor at saloon prices, all of which makes of the joint nothing else than a dive, occupying a place be low the status of a legitimate sa loon. One witness swore that on one visit he called up the crowd and that all had a drink around, for which he paid on the spot, just ex actly as they do in any establish ment devoted exclusively to the sale of liquor. It was also plain from the evidence that there is no club, that the so-called members do not participate in any meetings, that none of them sign a roster of mem bership, and that in fact the only big thiug about the place is Mike, Hooligan and Milne, who run ev erything, and that these three are ' 'it .' ' It also appeared that a good ly lot of so called members have pulled out and are now testifying without reserve as to the facts that transpire at the place. Sentence is to be passed upon Kline, the defendant, next Wed nesday, when another trial begins. The general opinion is, that in view of the fact that the joint still per sists in running, Judge Holgate will give the defendants the full penalty of the law, which the de fendants are willfully and wanton ly violating.

China Boy's Wrestle With English Not Much Sabbe Helican . Talk. Over at Honolulu, Hawaiian Is lands, there is a bright-eyed China boy. 20 years old, who has an idea that he is pretty strong on the En glish tongue. He was a patient of Dr. Burgess of Corvallis, when the latter was a practicing physician at Honolulu, and by that token be came indebted to the doctor. - He was unable to pay the bill when Dr. Burgess left, but has made a re mittance or two since. The latest heard from him is in a letter, writ ten by the boy in a good-hand, but which by its curious use of words is a quaint model of the English speech. The letter is dated Septem ber 23, and is as follows: "I take my opportunity to inform you, depend on last year. I lift the Balance account of yours, which my promissory had dismissed. "As I didn't thought about so bad fortune as from last year to the present which I had. "On that Grocery stock down County Kaalaea since from the day we comence to July of this year I haven't got a cent income. "Now I just beg vour pardon to excuse me for I didn't be -honest as my promiss. "On the Sept. 20 my friend em ployed me to the Grocery & meat market C. Q. Yee Hep & Co for a possition. When the end of the month if my wages pay out I will sent it over to you as soon as I can."

It is hoped she will have further oppor tunity to show her vocal power. Johnnie Pringle, as thehonest far mer, was particularly good. His part was not overdone, which is something that can not be said of like characterization." The manager, Mr. Guild, has a good voice, and Mr. Stoner as ad vance man for the company has promised that Corvallis audience will be favored with many selec tions of the latest popular songs, and guarantees that these features will be particularly pleasing.

And Booze ran out in Court Room Be fore Judge and Jury Hool- . , igan's Accident. "Truthful "Hooligan, who "wouldn't go back on Mike; who is going to stay, with Mike" had an accident while on trial in Justice Holgate's court Wednesday. The cork to the flask of booze in his pocket came out, and the fire water cozed down through his clothing and streamed over the seat of his chair, wetting everything in the vicinity. Hooligan's efforts to stop the flow and to dry his chair with his handkerchief, together with the odor from the booze attracted gen eral attention and gave a correct view to all as to what the matter was. Everybody, except Hooligan's lawyer, including judge and jury, grinned over the incident as illus trative of what is the real mission of the establishment of which Hool- lgaffss the honored vice president. What made the incident particular ly ludicrous was that the defense had been for three or four hours previously trying to prove to the jury and judge that Mike's place is real club, that it is a good faith concern, and that sociability and athletics, "moral welfare" and protection of game" is its real mission, all of which is the true and nly reason why Hooligan "won't go back on Mike."
