LEADS TO ANARCHY.
Portland Oregonian,
At Corvallis,
Forest Grove
and other
places where at-
tempts are being
made to sell
' liquor in defiance of law
and
public opinion.Jit will be found
that such a course only serves
to strengthen the anti-saloon
forces and increase their de
termination to win. The lo
cal option law is now the law
of the state and should be
obeyed. The man who open
ly defies the law is walking
the high road that leads to
anarchy.
WITH YELLS AND MUSIC.
Great Crowd of Students Started Foot
ball Eleven off for California.
Mid the college yells of half a
thousand students, the strains of
music by the Cadet Regiment band
and the farewells and good wishes
of a big crowd of spectators, the O.
A. C. football men pulled out of
the C. & E. station on the six
o'clock train Wednesday evening
and left for California. President
Gatch and many members of the
faculty were at the station to see
the boys off. Dr. Steckle and
Manager Stimson accompanied the
team, as did also, Sam Damon,
"Shorty" Wade and Henry Worth
am. Besides the regular eleven,
Porterfield, Little and Cherry went
as reserves. At Albany a pri
vate car was in waiting for the
boys, and it was switched on to the
Overland when the latter arrived
about eleven o'clock.
The game with California is to be
played at three o'clock Saturday af
ternoon. The lineup of the Ore
gon men will be changed somewhat
as a result of the absence of Lau
rence from the team. The change
will necessarily reduce the precision
and speed of the team work and
somewhat weaken the offense. To
what extent this will be the case
cannot be estimated, because the
team has never been seen under fire
with the lineup that will probably
prevail. The general impression is
that Dow Walker wi'l play tackle,
mostly, and that Cherry will go to
center. Another possible arrange
ment is with Walker as usual at
center and" Abraham, at tackle.
The only trouble with the latter
plan is that though four years a
tackle, Abraham has always played
on the right side of the line and his
form would Be bad for holding
down lett teckle. A great deal of
confidence is felt in the team, and in
Dr. Steckle whose masterful strate
gy and detail will be great factors
in the play, but it is, at the same
time renlized that the California
team will be at its very best when
the game is played, and the many
interested are meantime in great
suspense.
Bulletins from the game are ex
pected by the Times by four
o'clock. Complete arrangements
have been made for bulletins dur
ing, between and after each half,
and a brief story giving details, the
latter of which should arrive short
ly after six o'clock. The final
score should be bad by five or five
thirty o'clock
Miss Daisy Brown Is to arrive
tomorrow from Albany, to attend
the re-opening of the M. E. church
and spend a few days with friends.
Services at the Congregational
church next Sunday are, Sunday
-school at 10, worship and sermon at
11. In the evening there will be a
Union meeting with the M, E.
"church.
Measles have been prevalent
for several days at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Eli Spencer.
There is a case of mumps at
the home of - Mr. and Mrs. John
Smith. The little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Joe Smith is the victim.
Joseph Abbott, of Portland,
was the guest Wednesday of his
cousin, James McKenzie, in this
city.
ARRIVED AT OAKLAND.
0. A. C Football men All are in
Good Condition.
Oakland, October 27. The Ore
gen Agricultural College team ar
rived here at eight o'clock this
morning, and is quartered at Ho
tel Touraine. All the men are
well, and but little fatigued by the
iourney. They are to turn out for
practice on Berkeley field this after
noon, the California - management
having given them exclusive use
of the field. The question of the
lineup is still unknown, but the im
pression is general among the boys
that the game will open witn waiK
er at tackle, and Cherry at center.
The sore spots from last Saturday' s
game have mostly disappeared, and
by tomorrow atternoon. everv man
in the bunch will be in excellent
condition for the game. The kick
off is to be at jj o' clock. The weath
er here is beautiful, with a chance
that it will be quite warm for to
morrow afternoon's game. The
boys all send greetings.
There is no newspaper talk here
about the game. The team went
through a light signal practice this
morning, in which everything mov
ed off satisfactorily to Dr. Steckle.
A stranger at our hotel told us of
his dream that Berkeley found the
horseshoe but not until after we
had won it. Tell Bill Laurence
to take complete care of that bullet
hole in his leg.

FOURTEEN DIED.
Cattle that ate Well Known Weed
Discovery at the College.
An explanation has been found
at the college for the death of 14
head of cattle recently on the farm
of a Mr. Brown near Gervais, Mar
ion county. . Samples of the intes
tines and stomach of the dead ani
mals were sent by the Marion coun
ty stock inspector to Prof. Pernot
for examination, and aloDg with
them a statement of the mortality
among Mt. Brown's cattle. After
a long search with the microscope,
the case was about to be abandoned
when an inflamed condition was
finally found in a section of the in
testines. This led to renewed
study of tbe pat ts, and it was at
length discovered that the fecal mat
ter in the intestines was studded
with seeds from Pig Weed or Red
Root, a weed that is very common
in the Willamette valley. Then it.
developed that in the mucuous mem
brane of the intestines were great
numbers of the minute spines or
stickers tbat abound on the pods
which contain the seeds of the
plant. These, spines are composed
mainly of silica and are insoluble
in the juices of the stomach, and
in fact are not even softened by
their contact with the juices of the
organs into which they pass. From
the mucuous membrane they pass
into the intestinal wall, causing a
high state of inflammation 'and the
auimal dies of acute gastritis.
The discovery leads to the an
nouncement that the well known
weed should before it goes to seed
be removed from pastures frequent
ed by cattle. Livestock, it is said,
will not eat it until the weed goes'
to seed, and until other forage is
exhausted. Then, however, they
eat ft for the small nourishment
contained in the seed, and along
with it take into their intestines the
destructive spines, found on the
pods. Always, late in the summer
or early in the autumn, before fall
rains start the grass, there is more
or less trouble of the kind suffered
by Mr. Brown, and pathological
specimens find their way to the col
lege. For years past these speci
mens have been studied, but it was
not until the instance above related
that the secret of the trouble was
actually unraveled.
Pig Weed is well known, and
stockmen will have no trouble in
the iutnre in avoiding loss by re
sort to ordinary prudence.

FARMER SAYS IT.
Indignation in the Country Against
Mike Kline and his Hankies.
A well known anti-option farmer
in town the other day, gave it as
his opinion that Mike Kline and his
satellites are doing more to make
local option sentiment in Benton
county than all other influences
combined. In his ' neighborhood,
this farmer says, many pronounced
anti-optionists are declaring that
when it comes up again, they in
tend to vote for local option.
"If by a vote of nearly two to
one," he said, "old residents of
Benton county declare intoxicants
shall not be sold, and a total strang
er comes in here and by his act de
clares liquors shall be sold, and
proceeds to sell them, it is no sur
prise that there is geceral indigna
tion. As it appears to most people
the situation is, the people of Ben
ton county say 'nay'; Mike Kline
comes in, a stranger, and says 'yea'
and he proceeds to turn the people
down and to do as he pleases. The
tact that he has supporters, proves
that some of the liquor interests,
like Broders, are behind him. That
is what is making sentiment for lo
cal option, and if the-present status
of things continues the next time
the question is voted on, the vote
will be a protest against Mike
Kline and his methods, and the
majority will be 1,000."
SENT TO CALIFORNIA. -
The Destitute Family Sheriff Took
Them to Albany and pat Them
on the Train.
The Turpin family, whose woes
were mentioned in Tuesday's
Times are in California. Twenty
five dollars was their all, and there
were eight in the family, including
an aged grandmother with a mash
ed foot, and a little boy with a
broken back. Their horizon bad
more clouds on it than commonly
falls to mortals. They applied to
the county court for assistance, and
after full investigation of the case
by Sheriff Burnett and County
Judge WTatters. it was deemed best
as well as cheaper to help them
along their way to where there was
promise of assistance for them in
California. Near Montague, they
claimed an old friend had a farm
that was at their disposal if they
could once reach the place. After
thorougq investigation $45 was ap
propriated and Sheriff Burnett took
the family to Albany, where with
what money they had, tickets were
purchased and they were put on
board the train and sent to the Cal
ifornia destination.
It was the best, in fact the only
thing to be done under the circum
stances; for if they had remained in
town most of the family would have
been on the county long before the
end of the winter. On the contrary
when they reach their destination,
they will probably become self-sup-
pouing.
BROUGHT TEN CENTS.
Last Year's lot of Whitaker Hops
The Crop was Shipped Yesterday.
Yesterday morning a famous lot
of hops was shipped out of Corval
lis. It was 156 bales of last year's
crop on the Whitaker farm, made
more than usually notable by rea
son of the litigation of which they
have been the subject. Indeed, the
case indirectly involving the ques
tion of who has title to them, is
pending in the supreme court on an
appeal from Benton county. Fabre
& Neis of Albany claimed the lot
under an extended hop contract.
The Whitakers, Frank and John,
claimed there was no contract. The
case was tried at the November
term of the circuit court a year ago.
anda jury found'for the Whitakers.
The case was appealed by Fabre
& Neis, and will soon reach final
determination.
Meantime, sa;e ot tne Hops was
more difficult because of the litiga
tion in which they were involved.
Prices for a time were at thirty
cents and better, but no sale was
made."- The decline in prices ot
course struck them, and the account
isthat they went to a San Fran
cisco buyer at 10 cents per pound.
They have been stored for a long
time in the warehouse of Mr. Bo

SELLING BONDS.
Bids are to be Opened Next Monday
Night Local Bids Expected.
Next Monday night is the time
for opening bids for the proposed
issue of $75,000 in Corvallis water
bonds. Three weeks ago bids were
opened on the same proposition,
but all were turned down. The
call was on a four per. cent bond.
and all the bids were on a five per
cent basis. Many letters were be
fore the Water Board, the same be
ing from banking houses and bond
buyers all over the country, in
which it was made manifest thai a
call for bids at a higher interest
rate would bring' forth many bids.
The result was that the interest
rate was made five per cent, and a
new call issued. 'v There is every
reason to expect that many bids
will be received, and that the bonds
will go at a good premium. One
of the bids opened on the former
call offered a premium of ibout
$900. That is, the purchasers of
fered $75,900 for the entire issue of
$75,000. It is regarded as certain
that even a better premium will be
realized in the bid as a result of
next Monday night's bidding.
It is known that several local
capitalists intend to be bidders for
small amounts of the bonds. The
fact is that with the large amount
of money lying unused in the banks
the whole issue ought to be taken
in Benton county. There is no
safer, better, or more convenient
or satisfactory investment in the
world. The fact that banking
houses in Chicago recently offered
a premium of $900 on the issue,
shows how financiers regard the
securities, It is probable that in
order to get what they want of the
bonds, local bidders may have to
pay a slight premium. Several
local holders of money have made
inquiry and signified an intention
of getting hold of some of the bonds
if possible. The way to do in order
to get some idea of the premium
that might have to be paid is for
these local buyers to seek inform
ation of local bankers.
The bids are required to be in
the hands of the clerk of the Water
Board at five o'clock Monday after
noon. They are to be opened in
the council chamber at 7 30 o'clock.

Two Quaint Characters.
Sleeker and Toby are two of the
quaint characters in "A Human
Slave" which comes to the Opera
House next Tuesday night, which
will be at once popular with the
audience. This young man and
woman are two diamonds in the
rough. They are a bit uncultured
it is true, but under a rough and
rugged exterior they are as true
as steel, and as warm hearted and
sympathetic as the most refined
woman. It is the very poor who
know how to be kind, to be gener
ous, and a telling picture of gen
uine sacrifice is shown by the roles
of Sleeker and Toby in this fine
production.

The average man does not save to exceed
ten per ceriL 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.
