Corvallis Times ORVALUS, OREGON, TUESDAY EVENING JULY 24, J906. CHAMBERLAIN AKD THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The news from Salem is that the last remaining dollar of the school fund has been loaned, and that more than four millions of it is now at interest. Four years ago more than $700,000 of this fund was in the State treasurer's hands, yielding no interest to the school children, the interest on the sum, if any there was, going into the pockets of the treasurer. It was then that Gov ernor Chamberlain began an agita tion of the subject, promising the people in his campaign addresses that if elected governor, he would see that this money should be loaned in the name of the state, and the proceeds be set aside for the public school children. Gov ernor Chamberlain was elected, and the dispatches from Salem show how well he has kept his promise. The unswerving fidelity with which he stands in every crisis and' on every occasion for the interests of those who placed him in high ,po sition is what makes the executive office an honor to Governor Chamb erlain, and Soverner Chamberlain an honor to the executive office. What he has done in this one act for the schools and school children of the state is alone sufficient to win for him the applause and esteem of every citizen oi the commonwealth AS TO STORKS. Dearth of births in that city is a source of public concern in Port land, although it is doubtless the averaee wife's opinion that the subject is none of the public's busi ness. Since it is she on whom the cares and labors fall, the question of whether an ordinary wife shall have no children or a dozen of them is one that is .mainly her own busi ness and no business whatever ot the town politician, the city magis trate or some other wife's husband. If in her younger days, Mother Thaw had become mother to one son less there would be 'fewer tears on her pillow, and less of sorrow to bend her frame now. Murderer Barnes who killed his neighbor for $15 and whom a Roseburg court has just sentenced to hang, is one of birthings of whom some in Portland Other than wives, want more. If Esther Mitchell's mother were alive what reason would she have to be thankful for . motherhood of a daughter whose hands are red with a brother's blood. There are mil lions of wives wholly unfitted for maternity, and millions .more too poor financially to rear a family of children, and to order these to bear children, whether it be done by Mr. Roosevelt or by Portland theorists, is untimely and flatulent folly. A happy family where children are welcome is the ideal and the noblest ordinance of life; but God help the mother, help the father, and help the children in a family where children are unwelcome or unloved. How many times or whether or not a wife shall be a mother is none of the public's busi ness, and only concerns her to whom, according to her taste, chil dren are a joy, or a burden. A HERO'S REWARD. Man's inhumanity to man is vividly illustrated in the sentence of death meted out to General Stoessel, the biave defender of Port Arthur against the irresistible Jap anese in the Russo-Japanese war. After more than a year of indomit able resistance in which his force had been decimated and shattered by ceaseless bombardment, Stoessel finally surrendered the forlorn rem-nant-of his troops, and it is for this surrender that an ignoble death is to be his portion. It was . impos sible for the brave Russian to have won in that memorable struggle, and the fact that his defense was so heroic and its final issue so unex pectedly and so effectively post poned should have elicited, not a death sentence but the commenda tion of his countrymen, and his monarch. With such a fate for those who defend her how could melancholy and misguided Russia be otherwise than an unhappy and a blighted land. An Eastern girl is to be buried in what was to have been her bridal robes. She tried to light the fire with kerosene. Mrs. Holman, mother of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, has lifted a load from her friends, and the public. She says she "positively won't talk any more. They found him by the railroad track near Halsey yesterday morn ing, at the spot where he had fallen from the moving overland passeng er as he passed from one to anoth er coach. A whiskey flask in one pocket and a flask of whiskey in another is the cheerless tidings they bore to his wife and mother, and the probable explanation of his death. Dan Tarpley, one of the most illustrious of the Oregon land swindlers was groom at a wedding at Vancouver Sunday. His cousin was the bride, and Marie Ware McKinley was matron of honor. They can't keep the lid down on the timber land crowd. CITIZENS DON'T HELP. With Fire Apparatus A Com plaint Saturday's Blaze The residence of C. D. Abbott, located in the block northeast of the court house was the scene of a small fire Saturday afternoon. An alarm brought the fire department in fairly quick time, altheugh one cart was pulled to the scene by not more than half a dozen men while the other was taken there by but five men.. The origin of the fire was a defective flue and the flames were in the roof between the shingles and the ceiling, making them diffi cult of access. A stream from the new water system, after it got into motion soon began to tell and when a second stream was added the fire was quickly smothered.. The pres sure of(the stream applied on the in side of the building was such as to rip shingles from the roof with ease. The damage by fire and water to the building is $150 or $200 fully covfered" by insurance. The incid ent is particularly noteworthy in that it shows an utter lack of in terest by citizens in getting fire ap paratus to and from fires. The hose from one of the carts laid at the scene of the fire until yesterday evening, more than 50 hours after it had been used. Instead of going to the fire, citizens, at least proper ty owners, whether firemen or not, ought to help get the fire apparatus to the burning building, and help house and put in order again after the fire is over.

TALE OF BOOTLEGGING By the Sounding Sea How they Smoke the Crayther out at Newport, This is a hearsay item, and can not be sworn to in a court of jus tice, but there is no doubt of its truth. They told it freely on the excursion train coming out from Newport Sunday evening. It re fers to drouth conditions in New port, and of the method they have in some instances over there of evading the law. A man entered a well known place there Sunday and being hungry, he called for an oyster cocktail. As the world knows an oyster cocktail is a pre paration of oysters and condiments with never a drop of the Crayther in it. It was such a preparation that the customer wanted, and that is what he would have gotten but for the fact that the man behind the counter sidetracked him. After eyeing the customer keenly a second, and apparently with some satisfaction, the proprietor said: "Do you want a good cocktail?" "Yes; ruu me off the warmest thing you've got on the reel," replied the guest. "All right, then," said the enterprising Newporter, and taking up a glass he put in" the bottom of it, one, oyster. A bottle on a shelf was labeled. "Worcestershire sauce," and it looked like its brand might correctly denote its contents, but it didn'l. It .was shaken over the glass a few times, and then another bottle labeled, "Ripe Tomato Catsup" was used. From its contents the glass was filled well up toward the brim, and then the mixture was shoved out to the customer. He swallowed it and smacked his lips while such a grin as could only come to a man from a dry town lighted up his physiognomy. "Gosh; I'll take an other." he said, as he heaved a half a dollar to the leeward of the empty glass and rubbed his hands together abaft his lee scuppers, nautically speaking. And what he got was not a mix ture of oyster and sauces, but good old carantular juice of the most popular Newport brand. "Most of the boys, got onto the place, and they had alllhey wanted before we left town," was the remark with which a well known and truthful young man concluded his narrative of bootlegging in the seaside city. CUT HIS HEAD OFF. Thats What will Happen to Janitor Wells Others Want the Job. It is known to be a fact that County Judge Woodward is be sieged by Corvallis politicians to squeeze John Wells out of the jan itorship at the court house. There is a large list of applicants for the job, and most of them expect the place as a reward for the service rendered Judge Woodward in the late campaign. The judge cannot reward them all. There is no doubt but what She loves them, but he hasn't enough janitorships to go around. He is in a position that he would like mighty well to bw out of, for in naming one of the candidates, he must turn all the others down. Four years ago when the court went democratic, the republican janitor, W. G. Lane was continued in office until he re signed about a year later to run for chief of police, but it is said that precedent won't stand now, and that Janitor Wells' political head has got to roll into the waste basket with a dull sickening thud next week. At last account, there were eight applications on file, and it was said to be a fact that in addition to those filed, there were other candidates. The salary of the position is $50 per month and the duties include the janitor work in the court house and jail, the care of the heating plant and the management of the court house park. For Rent.
