Corvallis Times CORVALLIS, OREGON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. 23, 1906 DR. WILSON. A Portland minister approves the act of young Murray who shot the man who ruined his sister. He is Rev. Clarence True Wilson and he publicly expresses the hope that Murray may escape punishment. Dr. Wilson may not be strictly orthodox but there's a world of sig nificance in his attitude. If there were more Wilsons there would be fewer ruined girls. There is a propaganda in every country de voted to that enterprise. It has representatives on every street cor ner who resort to every wile to capture a dupe. There are Stan ford Whites in every strata of life and in every land. Temptations are spread before innocent girls that would shock the world if it knew of them. There are arts resorted to that would bring the blush to the cheek of the devil. Men, young and old, some who ought to be pre paring for a coffin pursue, and aft erward boast of their exploits. While their helpless victims go in to ostracism and suffer the torments ot the damned, the men hob nob in society and escape . all penalty. For purposes of punishment by law, it is an unreachable condition because so many men look upon it as a matter of course. It cannot be remedied by law because penalties even, if adequate, could not be com mensurately enforced. It is the rottenest of all the rotten phases of society, as the Thaw case has abundantly shown. It is " all this that brings out the Dr. Wilsons. It at least compels admiration for his ringing words. Though we hesi tate to advise resort to the six shooter, how else can brothers de fend wronged sisters. Who would manacle Murray ? . Hot air has always flowed freely from the Portland press anent the U. of O. and her football team, but their recent chinook zephyrs have the boys from Eogene up in the air like a bunch of toy baloons. Thus, the great Bezdek will not permit the great Moullen, nor the greater Lalourecte nor the still greater Hug to play with the "farmers" tomorrow as he is saving them for the great game with the great Multnomah on the great Thanksgiviug day. It is also said that the great Chandler and the great Clark will be on the sidelines whence it is supposed that the great team from the great university will be represented by a bunch of boys from the public schools. Great Scott, can this be true ! If, as a Kansas paper asseverates the number of cubic feet of gas in an ordinary man is 3,000, the num ber in some men is not less than a billion. Baptist Courcb. A most cordial invitation is ex tended to the services of the Bap tist church of this city. The pas tor wa delighted to welcome so many persons "who came into our services for the first time last Sun day morning and evening. He was especially glad to hve so many of the students of the college in at t;nianee. It is purposed a'd sin cerely hoped that these S'rvsces may be an inspiration and a help to all.

Changes in train schedules to take place next Sunday, will give Corvallis a better train service than ever. By it, three trains for Port land will be available daily, ani with close connections, via Albany. The 6:30 morning train will put the passenger Into Portland at 1 1 -.45 as usual. The afternoon overland for Portland is changed so as to leave Albany at 2:05, and a train from Corvallis to connect with it will put the passenger into Portland at five o'clock p. m. A completely new convenience is that a new overland train is to be put on the Southern Pacific and it will pass ' Albany noithbound just in time for the six o'clock C. & E. to connect with It, laying the passenger down in Port land at 11:30 in the evening. It is an array of train conveniences such as Corvallis has never enjoyed be fore, and for which the town owes general gratitude to the C. & E. and its stub train. The new time card will involve several changes of time. Though not yet announced, it - is' expected that the Westside will arrive on its former schedule of 11:45. It is al so asserted that its departing time will be changed to 12:40, but the announcement is not authoritative, and may not be true. The Ya quina train will go back to its old schedule and leave for Albany at 11:30, and leave for the Bay ati:42. The train that now leaves for Al bany at 1:30, will start at 12:45 and make close connections with a northbound overland leaving Al bany at 2:05. The train that now arrives from Albany at 4:30 will reach here at 3:05, making close connections with the train from the south on the Eastside. The new arrangement will give Corvallis by far the best train service she ever had. It will in fact give her as good service as is enjoyed by the most favored Eastside town. i THEN AND NOW. Episode of the Days of Ninety Four- Blasted Hopes and Busted Bank Accounts. The old time Corvallisite and perhaps the new one, will be inter ested in a brief editorial article en countered in a file of the Times yesterday. It appeared in the days when the Job bank assignmeat, the Carriage factory assignment and many other bankruptcies were pending in the local courts. At one time no less than 1 1 such : assign ments were carried on the dockets at the court house. What makes the article especially diverting, is tnat present activities and bustle are in strone contrast wi-h the mel- ancholly picture presented in .the article. The article appeared Nov ember 29, 1894, and ran thus: (jod soeed the assip-nees of the various Corvallis concerns that went to the wall last year. For more than a year these shadows have hung over the business horizon, a reminder of blasted hopes - and busted bank accounts. The public is tired of the familiar words, 'assignments, assignees and credit ors' and lons for the time when the courts and the newspapers will De Durdened with them no more. All hope that it may be a long time before another Corvallis concern gasps for breath, turns pale and drops by the wayside.". The Name Niagara. "Everybody pronounce;' : Niagara wrong," said a philologist' The accent of this beautiful Indian word should not be put on the' syllable 'ag, but on the syllable 'ar the penult the one before the last Niagara means "hark to the thunder.' Its accent should fall On the penult because the Indians them selves accent it there, because in prac tically all our Indian names of places the -penult is the accented syllable. Think of the Indian names you know. Don't you accent nearly all of them on the syllable before the last? There are, for instance, Toronto, Mississippi, Alle ghany, Appalachicola, JCarragansett, Tuscaloosa, Saratoga, Ticonderoga, Os wego, Conshohocken, WIssahickon and Hochelaga. In all these names tlie ac cent is on the penult Niagam is a Huron word, and if you can find a Huron you will find that he accents it as he does Saratoga or Tuscaloosa. I don't know how we have fallen into the habit of accenting it wrong." Chi cago Chronicle. A Good Recommendation. An Irishman was charged with a pet ty offense. "Have you any one In court who will vouch for your good . character?" queried the Judge. "Yes, sorr; there is the chief con stable yonder," answered Pat The chief constable was amazed. "Why, your honor, I don't even know the man," protested he.- "Now, sorr," broke In, Fat "I have lived In the borough for nearly twenty years, and If the chief constable doesn't know me yet isn't that a character f ot yezf ' HAS QUIT THE NORTH. And Will Now Stay in the States- After Many Years Percival Nash. Percival Nash, one of the old graduates and a member of the pioneer football team at OAC, was in town yesterday for a few hours. Ever since the discovery of gold there, he has been in Alaska. He went with the first rush to Dawson and has been ope;ating in the froz en north ever since. Of late he has been trapping and trading with the Esquimaux and freighting with dog teams. In the trading busi ness he has exchanged . supplies for furs, at business that, kept him much of the time far removed from the frontier civilization of the Daw son country. At times he spent months in the frozen fastnesses without the sight of the face of a human being. It was pn such an occasion that he accidentally shot himself and would - have lost his life but lor his dog. The wound was iu the leg and of such char acter that the wounded man was scarcely more than able to move It wfs only with the greatest diffi culty that he managed to keep his fire going and prepare food enough to keep himself alive. After two weeks of terrible hardship his dog attracted the attention of a man who 'happened to be passing through the lonely country, and help was at hand. The hardships endured by Mr. Nash in being transported to Dawson along with the details of the incident formed an interesting story in the Times several months after it happened Mr. Nash is now completely re covered from the injury, but the terrible hours he passed through are days that he will never forget. He has quit the North and will not return there. He left yesterday for Portland, and after a couple of days will join his brother Desboro, at San Francisco. The latter is understood to have amassed con siderable wealth. The Harrington Agitator. - Is just completed. Its weight is three pounds. It is a compressed air washer and there is nothing to to get out of order. It wi 1 last for vears and will wash all kinds of goods both large and small dur mg the rubbing and rinsing. Its cost is $2.50. Wishing to be as generous to the people of our own city 8S those at a distance I will give fifty dollars to the persoa who can find any two crank or lever washers in the Unit ed States that can do the wjrk of one . of the Harrington Agititors in all kinds of washing both heavy and light.
