Its value is from $400 to $500, ac cording to the manner of its sale. The second judicial district; is to have another district attorney. A bill for that purpose passed the legislature in the last days of the session. It provides for a district attorney to serve Lane, Benton and Lincoln, and to be elected from those counties. The salary is $2,000 per year, and provision is made,-.f or the .governor to appoint an officer to serve until after the next election. The law is to take effect in 90 days after its approval by the governor. Hon. Elmer T. Connell, represen tative from Columbia county, spent Sunday in Corvallis. the guest of friends. Mn Connell was a useful and influential member of the house at the late session, and was at all times a factor in the consideration 6f legislative business.- He was-dis-tinguished as the youngest member in the house, being but 27 years of age. : He is a t native Portlander, his parents being among the pioneer residents of the Oregon metropolis. He left yesterday for his home at Ranier. . ,V - Speaking of local option, Cor vallis is known abroad as a closed tow q and the fact is generally ap plauded for the reason that this is the' home of the, big college. Be cause of it, scores of students are sent here who would not otherwise come, and.t. that is a reason why tightly closed conditions should pre vail ' Jf any man wants to drink, he has a right, legal and moral, to take his booze home and drink it, but ho man has a right to traffic in if, and whenever it is attempted it should be promptly and effectively dealt with. It , would be wrong to pretend to One rest of the state that we are dry, and not be dry. ' Telegrams flew thick and fast out of Corvallis to the : legislature Saturday foienoon. Local pheas ant breeders got wind of a bill that passed the senate xwhich placed a tax of 50 cents on each pheasant, 25 cents on each quail and $1 on parh rteT sfiirvrwvl. . nut rf tlif wf-nt ?imntnn anfl .fVi- rkacQt- r. breeders learned with dismay :'that passage of the bill by the house was imminent,' and they used phone aiid telegraph wires freely in calling Repr esehtative Carter's attention to tbctanV Jr"Jstice of the scheiite. Carter happened to be chairman of the committee on game and from that vantarre nosition out to sleep a bill that was without a single re deeming feature to commend it for passage. The growing ot pheas- ants as all know is a : considerable industry about Corvallis. The biggest basket ball game of the season takes place in the Armory next Monday night. It will be between OAC and the Cres ent team of Chicago, the latter of which comes represented as cham pions of the world, a fact- that; will surround the game with, extreme interest, for there is a lurking sur- raise in. college circles that OAC can and will skin the Chicago team. ' Last year, the ' local men defeated the. Meteors of ; Chicago, now making a tour of the Hawai ian islands. They also defeated the Red Wing team from Minneso ta. They have In factt defeated everything that they have met in thef past two years, Their score for. the. present season is 594 to 254 giving them a lead of an even , 700 points.' s Miss Mayme Crawford arrived from Portland Friday, where she hps spent the last five months. Mrs. Brodie and her daughter and Miss Greene of Portland spent bunday at the college where two sons of Mrs. Brodie are students.

The Birthday social to have been given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church tomorrow eve ning, has been posponed a week on account of the death of Mrs. Laf ferty. V. A. Vidito has just complet ed the purchase of two lots on the northwest corner of the block up on which he resides. They were obtained from A. E. Bell for $300. This purchase, with three lots obtained with the Greffoz property gives Mr. Vidito five lots in a body. OAC's base ball team and Kline's town nine had a game Friday afternoon at the college athletic field and served well . as a joint attraction to the cross-country runs by a score of 10 to 9. Inter est in base ball among the students is such it is feared that other torms of athletics will suffer in con sequence. ' Dr. Bell, pastor of the Pres byterian church will not occupy his pu'pit next Sunday. He is preparing to move with his family to Corvallis, and will be detained in Portland until next week on that account. The pulpit will be occupied at the morning service by Rev. T. T. Vincent.

The work of tax collecting is temporarily suspended as will be seen by the sheriffs notice pub lished in another column. The reason for the delay is in order to give time for going over . the ex tension on the rolls, all of which are correct. Robert Johnson and N. L. Raber are going over the rolls and it is estimated that the job cannot be cumpleted before next Monday morning, when it is expected that collection will be re sumed. The temporary suspension of the work was on the order of the county court. Mail carrier Reed of the Mon roe line had bad luck yesterday. At a point just soath of the Mill Race bridge the neck yoke broke and the team ran away. The vehicle quickly upset and the horses tore loose. They were captured near Marys river bridge. The bed was torn from the vehicle and some other damage done. With a borrowed rig the driver made the return trip, pending repairs to his own vehicle. Frank Lilly arrived yesterday frop La Grand,? for a twg weeks , visit at the old home He is at the head of the big hardware es tablishment of Mrs. Murphy which I does an immense business at La ijriauue, a pusiLiuu iui auu juuus man to be proud of, and one that Frank fills most acceptably. During the late freeze La Grande was with out train service for a week - and with wires down and mails block aded was practically "out of the world for that period. Mrs. Lilly and little daughter are not with Mr. Lilly on his present visit. - Articles of incorporation of the Benton County Savings Bank of Corvallis have been filed' with khe county clerk.

The lectures 'to be given by Major Schoof, the soldier lecturer Wednesday and Thursday evenings at the First Methodist church will afford a treat to Corva lis oeocle. Popular prices of 25 cents and is cents will be charged.

His work in the legislature reflected much credit on himself and friends. He left yester day for Portland for a few days visit. Sergeant Major Gustave Himich Schoof, the Soldier Lecturer who lectures at the First Methodist church Wednesday fand Thursday evenings of this week is lecturing to crowded houses wbere ever he goes. The press of Glas gow, Dublin, St. Paul, Spokane, New York, speak of him in high est terms. Formerly of South Africa he had there the career of soldier, hunter, missionary. He has with hion a famous hunting and war museum which will be on exhibition. He also gives a sword drill which will be highly entertaining. BUT HALF A SENATOR NOW. Unless the Governor Swings his Axe- Benton's Representation Reduced. Unless Governor Chamberlain's welcome veto axe swings quickly Benton county is nearly wiped off the map so far as a representation in the state senate is concerned. A reapportionment bill that passed the legislature in the last hours joins Benton to Polk in a joint sen atorship. Under its terms Senator Johnson will hold his seat through out the term for which he was elected, serving in the next senate as jointsenator for Benton and Polk. Alter that a senator will beelected every four years to represent Ben ton and Polk jointly. It reduces Benton to half her present weight in the senate and is a most unfor tunate condition for the county. The reduction is the more un fortunate because other counties with less population, Josephine among them, get increased repre sentation. What it takes from Benton it gives to other counties, and that serves as a further reduc tion of Benton's power in the strug- gle that biennially goes on in. the -adjustment of issues in tbe legisla ture. It is the more regrettable in . that it leaves the college with less . strength to defend such interests, as the institntion may have in legist lation. Furthermore, it ties the in stitution to the county in which the state normal is located and makea the man who is the representative: of one, the sponsor for both. In measure, legislatively, it links the interests of the one to the other, which is a condition that ought not to be. With the joint senator elected from Polk county, his first . care would naturally be for the normal. If the interests ofths two should become in a measure oppos--ed to each other the college would, be dependent solely on senators from outside counties for supports Those who know th peculiar strength through the courtesy of members that a senator naturally has for measures affecting his awn county, realize what an immense loss this phase of the new scheme of representation means for Benton. But there is an even greater misfortune that will be consequent. Polk is a much larger .county than is Benton and has a great many more voters. The nominations and selections of senator now are by the primary law. Voters wili vote as they please and cannot be controlled. It will be natural and inevitable for Polk county voters through county pride to largely vote for the nomination of a Polk county man for senator and Benton county people will for the same reason vote for a Benton min. With her much greater voting strength Polk county will invariably get c&e senator an Benton will get soup. This is the natural outcome as rea soned out by the philcsopby of; human nature, and though in the rarest instances there might be art exception, it is extremely piobable that the new apportionment pract- cally means the disfranchisement of Benton county so far as repre sentation in the state senate i3 con cerned. It is a humiliating condi tion for a county that was once the largest and most powerful and that is still one ot the oiaest in uregon. The redeeming feature in the sit uation is that the institution: is not a county but a state affair with a. wide circle of supporters ana rnenas. in Polk and every otaer, coun ty, and that affords hope that through its own merits, it win dc properly cared for. Benton is one of the oldest coun ties in the state and reason of her prominence deserves a better ap portionment of power. The only hope: for it now, however, is the veto axe of Governor Chamberlain which swings otten. and always mighty straight and true
