IN BE$ TON.
Remarks elsewhere in this paper
ly District Attorney Brown ought
lo be welcome reading in Benton
county. Mr. Brown is a sincere
man who never trifles. There is
no motive behind his commenda
tion. The record at the court house
backs up bis statement.
No people anywhere in Oregon
liave so little crime in their midst.
No courts anywhere, are so barren
of business. - No public prosecutor
anywhere is so nearly without du
ties. The district attorney, sitting
as a grand jury, waits in vain in
Benton for important complaints.
Trivial matters alone come before
him, and these are fit rather for
justice courts. In ten years of of
ficial career as district attorney, he
has never tried a case of murder in
Benton. He has never had other
case wherein important criminality
was manifest. The county has
little use for courts and prosecutors
so far as crime is concerned. The
most these arms of the law accom
plish is whatever deterrent influence
they may exert.
Such is the statement of Mr.
Brown. It is a condition to ap
nea! to homeseekers. It is a con-
ditionto gratify home-owners. It is
a condition to applaud and to be
proud of. It is a condition in de
lightful concord with the fact that
here is the home of a great educa
tional institution. It is a condition
that must be welcome and gratify
ing to the friends of that institu
tion all over Oregon. It is a con
dition for which the Times has al
ways stood, for the achieving of
which it has always appealed and
to which it points with undeniable
pride. Why not?
DEATH AT 82 YEARS.
Mrs. Lucy S. Ryder Succumbs to the
Weight of Years.
The death of Mrs. Iucy S. Ry
der occurred at the home of Mr
and Mrs. O. W. Beckwith, this
citv, Tuesday evening, November
27th at the age of 82 years, six
months and seven dajs. From the
weight of her years Mrs. Ryder
had lingered in the border land
durirg many weeks, but the time
came when the enfeebled vital or
gaas were qompelled to abandon
the long struggle for supremacy.
Funeral services were held
Thursday at the Beckwith home.
Rev. M. S. Bush delivered a touch
ing sermoD, and the remains were
attended to Crystal Lake cemetery
by a large concourse of relatives
and friends-
. 'Deceased was the wife of S. B.
Ryder, who survives her. The
aged couple came to Oregon with
other members of the family, from
Iowa about twenty-?ight years ago.
During many years they occupied
their home just north of the saw
mill. For some months, however,
on account of failing vitality, Mr,
and Mrs. Ryder have lived with
their daugh'er, Mrs. Beckwith,
Ten children were born to them,
five of whom are living, name y,
William, Edward, .Mrs. Wesle.
Kewton, Mrs. JO. W. BeckwitkS
all of Benton county, and a son in
Conn'cticut. Other children were
Charley Ryder, who was accident
ly killed at the.Co -vallis saw mill,
and Mrs. N. A. Wheeler, who died
here many years ago. Mrs. Ryder
was a lady fgteatly esteemed by
neighbors and acquaintances who
have no hosit'ncy in stating that
she filled her place in life in a man
ner which left a valuable impress
upon the-coaduct of others.

MILKING MACHINE IS HERE.
Will be Used for Testing Purposes at
the College Something .
About it.
The milking machine at the col
lege has arrived. As was related
some time ago in the Times, a test
of the appliance is to be made with
a view to determining its practic
ability. The test will last over a
period of one year and will be
very thorough. The milking herd
will be divided into two groups
with the milking capacity of each
as nearly balanced as possible. The
milk product from each group will
ts tested regularly, Jboth from the
bacteriological and chemical stand
point. Tbat will determine the
relative cleanliness of the hand and
machine process and settler the
question of whether the machine
method is more cleanly and with a
milk product of better keeping
qualities as is claimed for machine
drawn milk. Besides the matter of
practicability, the question of econ
omy will be determined by the test.
It will also be a feature . to deter
mine the effect of the machine upon
the cow both physically and mental
ly. A fear is that the machite
method of milking will tend to make
the cow nervous, and that a shrink
age in the milk flow ; will result.
All these and various other points
will enter into the test, and the re
sults will be not only of extreme in
terest, but of great value, especially
since Oregon is moving to the front
as an important factor in the dairy
industry. . .-. ; .. :
The machine is to be run by an
engine. : 1 he motive power where
electric power is available, as is the
case in some Eastern states is elect
ricity. Two cows are milked at a
time. , The teat cups are of rubber
and are of various sizes so the teat
may be properly fitted. : The
vacuum is the vital, principal ; on
which the device : operates. The
engine operates a sort of pump
that connects by proper pipes with
the teat cups. A pulsating Apcuum
causes the milk to flow from the
teats into the cups and thence
through the pipes into the , proper
receptacle. The device connects
with each stall, making the pro
cess of attaching the cups to the
teats about all the operator has to
do in the actual process of milking.
The running of the engine, and the
subsequent cleaning of the pipes
and connections are of course to be
taken into consideration as a part
of the trouble. The cost of the ma
chine laid down in Corvallis is
about $380. The machine will be
set to work about the 7th - of Jan
uary, according to present plans.
The men and women, too, perhaps,
who have been milking cows by
hand all these years will have much
curiosity to see the new device in
motion, as all will have lull oppor
tunity to do. T
ALL GOOD PEOPLE.
Benton's low per Cent of Crime What
District Attorney Brown has to
say About it
In a speech before a jury last
spring. District Attorney George
M. Brown said many compliment
ary things about the standard of
citizenship in Corvallis and Benton
county. The Times publishad a
portion of Mr. Brown's remarks,
and the extract was widely publish
ed. "I haven't gone back on what
I said then," said Mr.; Brown Wed
nesday. . "Its all true: The people
of Benton county ought to be proud
ot their Citizenship. They have
but little use for , courts and district
attorneys. "x When I come to Cor
vallis to attend court, I get lonely
sitting in the grand jury room
waiting for , complaints ; to come.
Trivial complaints belonging, in ? a
justice rather than the circuit court
are about all that cjme before me.
Hunting without a license or kind
red offenses are the usual character
of wrong doing that I meet wtth,
when sitting as a grand jury in
Benton county, I have served
here as district attorney for ; ten
years and have never had a murder
case in the county, -A burglary
or two,' a case of- horse stealing
and occasional offenses of tbat char
acter, have constituted the main
part of my duties as prosecutor dur
ing the extended period of my of
ficial career . InSthis county courts
and -district attorney sitif useful at
aU, areimainlyVsot in whatever
deterrent influence they may "ex
ert-
- It can be added -truthfully - that
the high estimate District Attorney
crown places on Benton county
citizenship is largely reciprocated
in the estimate here in which peo

THREE FANCY COWS.
Added to the Herd on the College
: Farm Best of Their Kind.
, Three fancy cows have been ad
ded to the college herd. Each is
the highest type of her kind, and
ot great individual excellence. The
purpose of their purchase is to pre
sent to the classes in animal hus
bandry a perfect animal of her type
so that the students may become
perfectly familiar with her points
of excellence. The animals pur
chased are a Guernsey , from Hazel
Fern farm owned by the W.S. Ladd
esiate in Multnomah county, : an
Ayrshire from the farm of Mrs.
William Honeyman of Scappoo.se,
Columbia county, and a Holstein
from the P. W. Frakes farm also
in Columbia county.
The purchases give the college
five breeds of dairy cows, each
breed being represented by a choice
animal. The principal herd is the
Jersey, in which there are several
heifers which by their performances
are entitled to advanced registry!
The other breed is the milking type
of Short Horn, one cow in which
it is anticipated from a test now on
will yield ten thousand pounds of
four per cent milk during the cur
rent 12 months. "
BEAT A CHINAMAN.
Charles Cams did ?id has Been Bound
Over to Circcit Court.
The brutal assault of a China
man by Charles Cams, and the be
lief for a time that the victim might
not recover was a star event of the
past day or two in"CorvaIlis. - Ac
cording to all accounts the : assault
was both cowardly; and wanton.
1 ne vmnaman s race was beaten
almost to a jelly. There is a deep
gash across the forehead. Both
eyes are still closed. ' r or a fame
the victim was unconscious, but he
is much better today and his re
covery is sssured. Carns fled : im
mediately after the assault, and was
captured- in Alsea yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Rycraft. Hardy
McCormick and Constable Wells
brought him to Corvallis, where he
was at once lodged in jail"-
The victim is an inoffensive
old Chinaman known to everybody!
as "Old Tom." He is connected
with the laundry east across the
street from Homing's. He also
opens oysters at Wiley's. He has
an affection of the hip that makes
him a cripple, and he probably
never harmed a living thing in his
life. ; - ' : -
At 2 o'clock today Cams was
arraigned upon a charge of assault
and battery, the proceedings teing
in the nature of ; an ; examination,
instead of a trial the - result of
which ; would necessarily ' result
ither in the acquittal of t the de
fendant, or his being bound over
to the circuit court. Carns chose to
have no attorney, and after some
explanations by Justice Holgate
and Deputy Prosecutihg Attorney
Bryson, decided to waive examin
ation. : .On account of the possi
bility of more serious, results than
are now deemed probable from
the assault, the bonds were placed
at $1 ,000. , Cams believes that he
will be able to give the required
bond. ' ' -
