DELAYED ADMINISTRATION,
The stewardship of the county
court that has just retired from of
fice, was the subject of a report
printed in Tuesday's Times. In
the passing of that court Benton
county loses one of the most pro
gressive and wideawake adminis
trations that has ever directed its
business affairs. No court at any
time has ever manifested greater
zeal or more indefatigible effort in
bettering the' public roads No
court of any county, at any time
has held more constantly in view
the promotion of the best interests
of the county in every particular.
Though the county tax levy has
been uniformly low, the debt of
$22,000 was wiped out and the
county kept out of debt until by the
purchase of the county poor farm,
the'erection of a county ferry house
and other permanent expenditures
in the last weeks of the administra
tion a small indebtedness was re
created. In substantial bridges,
in permanent road improvements
and in other ways, Mr. Watters and
his colleagues left landmarks all
over the county that will stand as
enduring monuments of the pro
gressiveness and substantial char
acter of their administration of
county affairs. Down in the future
it is extremely probable that the
Watters court, comprising Mr.
Watters, Mr. Jolly, Mr. Rickard
and Mr. Irwin, will be looked back
as h model of live administration.

Common Colds are the Cause of Many
Serious Diseases.
Physicians who have gained a national
reputation as analysts of the cause of various
diseases, claim that if catching cold could h
avoided a long list- of dangerous ailment
would never be heard of. Everyone know,
that pneumonia and consumption originate
from a cold, and chronic catarrh, bronchitis,
and all throat and lung trouble are aggra
vated and rendered more serious by each
fresh attack. . Do not risk your life or take
chances when you have a cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy will "cure it 'before
' these diseases develop. This remedy con
. tains no opium, morphine or other harmful
drug, and lias thirty years of reputation back
of it, pained by its cures under every condi
tion. For sale" by Graham & Wortham,

Farmers do, Says This one
So Thirsty Teams can be
Watered.
Editor Times:
In a late issue of yours, I
noticed an article relative to drink
ing fountains in Corvallis. Long
ago, away back in the dark ages
when white men lived ia Corvallis
some worthy man, "Requiescat in
pace," placed a water trough, for
horses on the corner opposite the
Occidental hotel. Here could be
found liquid refreshment for man
and beast. These good old times
have passed away and our beauti
ful burg is a very dry town. The
county or city in its . wisdom has
placed a fancy iron water trough
north of the court house.. This is
of course very good," as far as it
goes, but it does not go very far,
moreover, not one farmer in 10
knows about it, and not one in
fifty will bring his horses up that
far for water.
I would respectfully suggest to
the city fathers or whosoever it may
concern, that what is needed is a
good solid watering place conven
jent to where farmers usually hitch
their teams, and large enough for
three or four teams to water at one
time. Such a structure might con
veniently be built at the foot of
Jefferson street north of Ben Woldts
building or north of S. L,. Kline s
warehouse.
No need to send to Italy for
Parian marble, a good solid wood
en one will answer the purpose as
well or better. Say a good stout
oak vat 3 or feet in diameter by
one or one and half feet deep
would contain 40 or 50 gallons.
This mounted on a stout platform
about six or eight feet square and
about two feet high fed by a one
inch pipe with waste pipe near top
to carry off surplus water. placed in
the center of the street, so that
teams could drive up and water on
all four sides. A separate faucet
and a few drinking cups might
be added, The whole thing neatly
made and painted would be by no
means unsightly, and need not cost
not including water and water pip
ing, over $20 or $25, ... It would be
appreciated by many a thirsty
horse and mm, during the hot dry
summer. -

Escaped Drowning in Ocean
They Drove on Beach
One Horse Drowned.
At the Newport sea beach they have
already had one accident, though
the season is scarcely begun. A
driving party narrowly escaped
death, the other evening, says the
Herald, one of the horses being
drowned.
The party was composed of G
Mason and H. Stimpsou, of Harris-
burg, Miss Anna Baker of Turner,
and Miss Alda Cannon of Myrtle
Creek. Mason was driving. They
were returning from a trip to Ya
quina Head light station and jt
tempted to drive around a point op
posite jump-off Joe. Mason was
not . familiar with the beach and the
tide was at half rife, making it
impossible to pass that way, which
is dangerous even at low water.
He drove into the water so deep
that the horses lost their footing,
tell down and became entangled in
theharriess. One of the" animals
was drowned. The occupants of
the hack were thrown out but clung
to the vehicle. The accident for
tunately was witnessed , by Paul
Chatterton and others, who hurried
to the scene and reached it in time
to rescue the party from drowning.
They also saved one horse by cut
ting the harness away. The ani
mal was nearly drowned and had to
be hauled out with another team
and line. The rescuers had to work
in water up to their shoulders.

WHERE GOLD IS.
And When They Mine It A
Fifty Dollar Nugget
Brady Burnett.
After an absence of eight months,
Brady Burnett arrived Saturday
from Douglas County, where he is
engaged in mining. He has both
quartz and placer mines at a point
east of the railroad 1 3 miles from
Canyonville and 25 miles from Rid
dle, copper being his best prospect
in the quartz. The ledges in the
latter are extensive, and the as
says good. A magnificent nugget
that weighs nearly $51 is one of th
finds that Brady carries with him
as a product of his . placer mines.
It was found one day on bed rock
while sluicing was in progress.
The placer mine is worked with
a little giant hydraulic arrange
ment. It is vastly different from
the old rocker or pan with which
the early-day miners worked at
placer diggings. It throws a stream
from a four and a half inch nozzle
a distance of several hundred feet.
The force is so great that large
boulders that a man cannot lift are
thrown about like pebbles by the
pressure of the water. By the
process, immense quantities of
earth and gravel are worked over
every day. Unfortunately for all
purposes, the water supply is
only available for a few weeks in
the year. The run this season
when the water was abundant only
lasted 40 days. A less abundant
supply of course is available for a
considerably longer period, but op
erations for that time are not so el
fective. During the good water
supply the run is from daylight to
dark with not a minute of time
lost on any account The excite
ment at such times, especially
when there is a good pay streak is
intense, and the miner sighs when
it is too dark to work longer, and is
out with eagerness to resume opera
tions with the first signs of the
coming dawn.
Apropos to the nugget found by
M.r.f Burnett, a Douglas county
man in order to get a nugget val
ued at only $15, killed his neigh
bor named Graham. The nugget
itself was one of the main reliances
of the prosecution in fixing Barnes'
guilt. It was a peculiar nugget
and it was found on Barnes person.
Ttiey also found Graham's revolver
secreted under Barnes' house. The
case was appealed to the supreme
court, and the lower court was af
firmed by a decision handed down
a few days ago. Barnes is to be
hanged.
Mr. Burnett is off for a good va
cation and will spend much of his
time in Corvallis and vicinity.
Woman's Trials.
The bitter trail in a woman's life is to
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The ab
sence of this link to bind marital life
together, the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even if they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent of their disappointment in the eyes
of such a childless couple when they rest
pn the children of others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many eases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to child-bepring is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part of the woman. Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription has been the means of
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
a barren woman, to the great joy of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing of children has
been found to be of a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y;, over which
Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription "
fame presides. In all cases where chil
dren are desired and are absent, an effort
should be made to find out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses, displace
ments, prolapsus. Inflammation and de
bilitating, catarrhal drains and in all
cases of nervousness and debility, Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
It has to its credit hundreds of thousands
of cures more in fact than any other
remedy put up for sale through druggists,
especially for woman's use. The ingredi
ents of which the "Favorite Prescription"
is composed have received the most
positive endorsement from the leading
medical writers on Materia Medica of aU
the several schools of practice. All the
ingredients are printed in plain English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use of this
famous medicine may know exactly what
she is taking. Dr Pierce takes his pa
tients into his full confidence, which he
can afford to do as the formula after
which the "Favorite Prescription" is
made will bear the most careful exam
ination. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
best and safest laxative for women.
