FRIDAY EVENING JULY 6, 1906.
SECOND HOTTEST DAY.
HOW TO GROW.
Tbe true way to build up a town
is not to buy anything in it. Go
to Portland and buy your clothing.
It costs more there, but that's no
difference, because it is better to
give the profit to the Portland
dealer than to the home merchant.
Send to Portland or somewhere else
for your job printing. Don't have
it done at the local newspaper of
fice. Of course the local newspa
per booms the town and booms
the county, and leads in public en
terprises and works for development
for which it receives nothing, It
champions the cause of the local
merchant, the local hotel, the local
blacksmith, the local real estate
man. and everything else local,
but the local newspaper can survive
without business and pay the print
ers with jawbone and the printers
can live on air and mountain water,
so it is better to send the job work
away. It is better all around, in
fact, for one neighbor not to give
another neighbor a chance. Pull
'em down, don't give 'em a show,
all pull in opposite directions, and
' it will be really surprising how fast
the town will grow.
On Record at Corvallis Back
of hot Wave Seems Broken.
The hot" wave has apparently
snent its iorce. and the last day or
two have been more like Willamette
Valley and less like Arizona days.
The heat of last Monday, however,
will not soon be foreotten. It was
the second hottest day of which
there is any record since the weatn
er bureau was installed at the col
lege. In Hodes gun store that day
the mercury sizzled around 134 lor
several hours. In Jesse Spencer's
barber shop it was 119. It was
equally hot at other places similarly
located. It was in fact an after
noon with real breaths from the
olace Creffield went to. At the col
lege weather office the big maxi
mum thermometer registered 99 at
two o'clock at which Doint the mer
cury stood until five. At six it had
dropped to 95. At eight, it eased
down to 80. It was midnight be
fore the old inhabitant heaved a
sigh ot relief, pulled the thinnest
piece of drapery he could find over
his couch, and began to think of
pleasant dreams. The day that
was hotter than Monday was June
7 1903, when the mercury rose to
102.
TIME TO FIGHT.
Oregon ought in some way to
retaliate on the insurance companies
Because California had an earth
quake and the companies suffered
by reason thereof, Oregon policy
holders should no more be made to
pay an advance of 2 s per cent in
premium rates than ought President
Roosevelt to have a tooth pulled
because the empress of China may
have hada spell of toothache. Oregon
is not a quake-stricken territory.
and is not so susceptible to costly
fires as are dryer, hotter states,
The attempt of the millionaire in
surance owners to recoup in Oregon
what they have lost in California is
a species of pillage, and it ought
to be arrested, if, iD no other way,
then by legislation. The power to
tax the companies and to regulate
them can be used in such ways as
to make them glad to be reasonable
in their charges. Fire insurance is
tbe biggest aggregated trust in the
whole country and its encroachment
on the hollowest and shallowest
pretext on record, ought not to be
sabmitted to in silence by the peo1
pie of Oregon.
The football fatalities are knock
ed silly by the casualties on the'4th
Fortythree dead and more than
2, 000 injured as a result of Wed
nesday, and the count is far from
complete. Ought there not to be
a revision of the rules or abolition
of the game?
' Sentenced to nearly three years
in prison and to pay a .fine of $5200 !
Such, because of malfeasance, is
tbe finale to a term in official posi
tion by ex-Survyor General Mel
drum of Oregon. In the stripes of
confinement, the former successful
politician, now a poor bedeviled
wretch, will have time to reflect on
how infinitely better it were to
have been true to a public trust.
After all, it is a case to be pitied,
as well as to be condemned. It
cannot be condoned.
In a moment of enthusiasm at the
Dollar dinner Senator Miller of I,inn,
exclaimed that the Chicago plat
form as a bill of rights is second
only to the Declaration of Inde
pendence, whence it may be in
ferred that to sit down and read it
aloud is with Senator Miller as
much of a pleasure as a whole
Fourth of July celebration.
The British don't propose to al
low Uncle Sam to get ahead of them
if they can help it. They had a
train wreck the other day with 27
persons killed. The showing is
splendid for a beginner in the busi
ness, and American railroad owners
should sit up and take notice.
IS DEAD NOW.
Caesar Taylor Found Stark
and Stiff Under Docks in
Portland.
Yesterday's Oregonian contains
announcement of the death of Cae
sar Taylor, a Portland negro who
was well known to all old time Cor
vallisites. He was found stark and
stiff on a pile of lumber under one
of the docks. The preceding after
noon he had been on the street in a
glorious state ot intoxication. For
several years in Portland, he had
been a favorite with all kinds of
people, having solved successfully
the problem of living without work
He was the mascot of the Multno
mah Club and a devoted base ball
enthusiast, being admitted to all
games without payment of gate fee
Caesar came to Corvallis in 1869
with B. T. Taylor and family and
except a year or two about 1876
spent in San Francisco, he resided
here until 1881, when he went to
Portland. He was born in slavery
in Mississippi in October i8;6. At
the age of three months he passed
into the hands of B. T. Taylor,
with whom he continued, slave and
free until alter 1881. By Mr Tay
lor he was taught tbe butcher busi
ness, at which he worked in Cor
vallis. He was married tq a likely
young mulatto girl in Corvallis in
1880, but the couple only lfved to
gether a few months. His real
name was Caesar Short, but he al
ways went by the name of Caesar
Taylor until after he went to Port
land, where he became known as
Julius Caesar.
They wanted to send Caesar to
the Poor House in Portland last
winter, but he argued them put of
it, saying it would not be showing
the proper respect to his political
friends, such as Mayor Iane, Sena
tor Kulton, Jack Matthews and
Frank Baker.
