FRIDAY MORNING. JAN. 5, 1883. fered at the Postoffice at Corvallis, Oregon, as second-class matter. EDITED BY ;S. WOODCOCK, aTTOSSET at law. FFiClAL PAPER FOR BENTON COuriTY Word has been received from Dongresiman M. C. George to the effect that bill has passed congress rhich reimburses the State of Ore gon for expenes incured in the Mo doo war to tbe extent of $70,000. Rscent news from the clerk of the board of state school land commis sioners on the subject of reducing the mount of security for the loan of school funds, informs us that they find no reason for modifying the rule AS thoy have recently had to refuse several good loans for lack of funds and that they are entirely oat as" funds. While at first we were inclined to take the other view of the matter, this certainly proves that the rule is not too stringent. jponrrs decided by the supreme court OF OREGON. The Supreme court of this state bss decided: That a will ofany per son can not be admitted in evidence to support title to land founded up on it until after such will has been admitted to probate in the county court and there proven to be the last will of deceased in the manner pro vided by law for wills to be proven. Nearly all the other states which have probate courts with exclusive jurisdiction pertaining to the proof of wills have held the same doctrine. A promise made by one party without a corresponding obligation or promise made by the other pai-ty ts void. Where a title is derived through a deed which is not reeorded""or ex hibited to thejpurchaser, the title is defective, and he is not compelled to accept it. A contract to mako a good and sufficient warranty deed of into power, desire to fill the places with persona who will not only voJ.e themselves, but influence the votes of others. Women can do neither: they are lamentably ignorant of the gfeat art of ''setting 'em up for the boys," and setting "solid with the gang," and they must step down and out to make room for the lords of creation proficient in this necessary business" Women will never be a srreat suc cess in politics, at least until the mil lenium i fully established aid poli tics is no longer a question of beer and whiskey." ance is not tendering riant ot w p e i-fB ijpn i rs being met own, cxmi m MSW TORE 90TST.NOR Ef TROUBLE. A recent dispatch says: The Times. Tribune and Herald lecture Governor Cleveland on his first ap pointments. The Times says: Th troubles of .Cleveland have begun before he has take possession of the governor's chair. The removal of pardon clerk of 12 years' experience whom Cornell, the most chary of governors in the matter of pardons pronounced exceptionally well fitted for-the position, has led to an unfav orable comparison between the pro fessions of tho governor and hi course as foreshadowed in this earlv ejercise bl-power. The appointee i said to have no special fitness for the plaice and to be known chiefly as a protege of Cleveland. The Tribune says: Governor-elect Cleveland made his first serious err or in the appointing of officers yes terday. Some of llie persons whom he appointed as members of his staff arenotab&ve criticism, buV-jthe ap pointment of Ijopwman brnwm. 1 palpably one that cannot be defeiiaed Thi Herald titters characteristic warning against heeding the dvice of partv managers: "That sort of advice only wastes their lime. Let them serve the people. That is the main thing. Parties just now are of little account. That is the reason why Cleveland and Pattison were elected.. The grand old democratic parly is, if anything, aglittle deader than the old republicaifarty."

Supreme Court of this state eld that: An offer in writing to a debt' when not accepted is a fficient tender of, money under the ode, and such tender will discharge a lien held by the party to whom the tender was SJkp on personal property, created by a chattel mortgage- Where a conveyance is v.aken by a husband In his own name, without the wife's consent, of land purchased with the wife's money, and with IhC understanding on her part that the conveyance is to be made to her, she is injequity the owner of the land, andthe husband is her trustee. An agreement for the sale of per sonal property at a price not less than fifty dollars, is void, under our statute of irauds, unless the same or some note or memorandum thereof ex pressing a consideration be in writ ing and subscribed by the party to be charged. Sellers cf Toy Pistols;' get Their Deserved Punishment. The supreme court of Indiana has furnished to the sellars of toy pistols some hws which will please them less than it will please society. Two little Indiana boys, aged ten and twelve years, had a toy pistol, and bought some ball catridgen for it of a dealer; the latter instructed the bqys how to use them. They were used with such effect that one of the boys was killed by the other. The father brought action for damages against the dealer, got judgment and was sustained, as to the law of the case, by the highest court of the State. Standard. LIQUOR BILL. It is confident'" stated by parties who are .wd ItfTnow-tbafr there are a jfreat deal of misrepresentation of facts by the distillers in their appeal for relief by the Sherman bill through the two vears extension of time for payment oi . the tax on goods in warehouse. The talk about the eighty or ninety millions of gallons; which must be taken out soon it the bill should not pass, thereby bank rupting the trade and affecting finan cial circles generally, is untrue. There is no danger of a panic during the coming year on account of whisky and there are no eighty or ninety millions, nor even halt that, of liquor in bond upon which tax miiBt be paid during the corning season. The whisky which must be unbonded during 18S3 amounts to only 14,000, 000 gallons, on which the tax amounsa to $1,200,000. The whisky men themselves, in their representa tions to congress, claim that the con sumption by the country of their goods is fifteen million gallons per year, which is more by fifteen million gallons, obviously, than the amount upon which they are asked to pay a iflx. During the entire year of 1883, in fket, distillers can handle their goods w"ith ease, provided they can induce cong to pass a law which will benefit tfcijm by allowing them to hold spirits in &.f ore with a tax un paid for a year longed- during which time it would double in J'altie. This is the secret to the whole movement of whisky going out of bond. .They have not more than they need, b-Jit it iney can hold it at government expense two years longer and double their money it would be very profit able legislation for distillers and in the meantime the country would be supplied with so much more com pound whiskies while this bourbon is getting additional age. The New York Post says: John Craw will leave the composing room of the Post lo-morrow after a con tinuous and faithful service of fifty six years, entering the office in 1826 as a boy of fourteen to serve his time. Probably no other compos itor in the country can boast of so long a service in one office. Ban Francisco Democrats Reform. The Chicago- Times says: "The democrats of San- Francisco propose to exclude women from employment in the municipal offices, where at present the petticoats are numerous. The fair officeholders are greatly dis turbed thereat, and one of them writes an indignant and energetic protest. Up to this time women iave been" tolerated in office through sort of political gallantry, but the 4emcxm J bare recently o( me j good." A panie ensued. Officers CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. A severe snow storm occurred i San Francisco on the 31st of last month, which afforded a scene for youngsters who had never witnessed anything of tne kind before. Ford brothers, the slayers of Jesse James, while playing on the stage in Boston drew their revolvers and flour ished them in the air and sprang from the stage into the crowd to gain vengeance on some one in the crowd who shouted that they were "no crowded in and placed the beligerant under arrest. Labor troubles are anticipated soon about Chicago. Amongst the mail destroyed Dec. 21st in the New York Central Rail road accident there was 40 sacks for Oregon. It is said that the starving condit ion of Irish people in the west of Ireland is so miserable and wretched that human language is inadequate to picture their terrible condition. M. Gambetta, the celebrated French orator and statesman died on last Monday morning. His death was not expected but for only a short time before he died. Inauguration ceremonies- took place in Albany, New York, on tbe morning of January 1st. At the incoming of the New Year a heavy shock of earthquake at Hal ifax was felt, lasting about thirty" seconds. Several crowded churches who were watching the new year in, were almost panic stricken. At the conclusion of the reception at the White House in the city of Washington, D. C, Aon. Elisha Al len, minister from the Hawaiian islands, dropped dead of heart dis ease. The total value of imports of mer chandise of the United States from China and Hong Kong for 'the year 1 882, a mounted to $22,638,434. The value of exports to the same places amounted to $9,213,880. Severe storms in San Francisco have recently done great damage to ships, bumping them against the wharfs. Piles along the wharfs were snapped in two like pipe stems. The scare of the Russia-German war his passed away without hardly realizing, so sudden was the disap pearance of it. Ihe shock of an earthquake was felt throughout the city of Rockisland and vicinity on New Years eve, fol lowed by a storm of thunder and lightning. The Russian consul general of San Francisco has issued orders prohibit ing foreign vessels, under pain of con fiscation, from trading, hunting, or fishing on the Russian coast or island in Okhotsk and Retiring seas, with out special permit from the governor I . l ' I -r . general oi eastern omena. it is thought the intention of the Russian government is to prevent any traffic with the islands, other than through its own subjects. Something unprecedented in the annals of the fraternity in Matoon, III., occurred in thu practice of Dr D. M. McFall last Saturday night, being nothing less than the birth of two male children with two well formed bodies, united from the sternum, with fine neck, one well formed head, the chin resting on the right and left shoulders of the bodies. and the face looking to the side. Physicians here say it is one of the finest specimens that ever come un der their observation. Seventyy-eix deaths from small pox the past week occured in Balti more. To day a case occurred in tne city jau. uver sou prisoners, confined for minor offenses, weie discharged. A syndicate has recently offered to buy from 3,000.000 to 4,000,000 acres of the Northern Pacific lands east of the Missouri river. The Chicago Times says the pur pose of a certain bill in congress' is to enable the Southern Pacific and other railroad corporations to con solidate as one corporation so as to make a through lin,e under one man agement from the Atlantic to the Pacic. It is thought when this is done it can be operated independent ot state OV territorial interferance This line is one which Stanford Huntington and Crocker have been trying for years to complete. The Cincmnati Southern Railroad built at a cost of over 20,000,000, and the Louisville and Nashville, two great lines extending through some of the most valuable territory in the south, under Jay Gould's man agement. The scheme is that Gould will assume control of the Mobile and Ohio as soon as it passes out of the hands of the receiver, and make it a part of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacific system, but operated jointly with Gould's southwestern system. The tax bill, placing tobacco ex ported by rail into Canada and Mex ico, on the same footing as tobacco exported in vessels wa passed the lower houce of congress. A bill was passed by the House providing that perique tobacco may be sold by manufacturer or producer in form of carrots, directly to legally qualified manufacturers, to be used in manufacture of cigarettes or smok ing tobacco, without payment of tax. Representative George at Wash ington recently said that some ap prehension exists regarding the char acter of the reports made by the en gineer officers on the improvement at the mouth of the Columbia river. George said: "The report of the ma- Ljority of the board is good, ar.d Mendel's report is still better. While he thinks the jetties should be high er, he thinks they need not be so long as recommended by the major ity, and therefore need not cost, even if stone is used instead of wood much more than $1,100,000. The majority estimated the cost at over 3,500,000. All the members of the board are agreed that wood work at t he mouth of the Columbia will be free from the attacks of the toredo. as col. jriiiespio believes the cost will be greatly lessened, there is en tire unanimity as to the general plan to be pursued and certainty of a great and permanent increase of depth over the bar. All the mem bers of the board are united upon Col. Gillespie's plan to Drotect the wall on Clatsop spit. I have given the subject of this improvement much study, and am gratified with the re port of the board. Nothing but an ignorant and unfounded clamor against" the river and harbor bill can retard the early beginning of this work. Patents were this week awarded to the following nameh Pacific slope inventors: Wm. Adams, Salem, Or., car coupling; Adolpb V. Anderson, Virginia City, stock car; Geo. Red burg, Portland, car coupling; John L. Gladney, Antelope, Cal., faucet; D.miel Best, Albany, Or., grain sep arator; Chas Bridges, San Fernando, pumping machinery and -ladder. John M. Ilailow, Brighton. Cal.. fruit dryer. The public debt reduction for De cember will be $3,000,000. Commissioner Raum "has gone lo Illinois to prosecute the senalorial figh. Capt Wm. Hooper; formerly a Mormon delegate in congress, died on the 1st. It is officially stated that the Brit ish army of occupation in Egypt will be reduced one-half. Advices from Idaho territory state that the recent trouble there is at an end and the troops have been with drawn. The vessels which arrived in New York from foreign ports during 1882, numbered 6,476, inc.nding 1,946 steamers. East bound freight shipments dur. ingthe past week from Chicago were nearly 20,000 tons greater than any previous-week. Tobacco men petition congress for the immediate repeal of, the internal revenue tax on tobacco and to main tain the duty on imported ciorars. Th mint demand for the "dollars of our daddies" at New Orleans "ha been nearly $2,000,000 more than the coinage. That does not indicate that the silver dollar is a burden. Corvallis, the southern terminal point of the west side division of the O. & O. R. R. and on the bank of the Willamette river. It has a population of twelve or fifteen hun dred, and is not only a local center, but the distributing point for the whole of Benton county and the western part of Lane. It has banks, fine stores, handsome streets, good residences and wears an air of thrift. The chief office in this state ot the O. P. R. R. is located there. The school privileges of Corvallis are particularly ifne. The state agricultural college is located there, and the town is also well provided with public schools. Benton County The southernmost of the chain of west- side counties is also the largest, says the Oregonian. It extends north and south about 50 miles and east and west about 60, occupying a span between the Willamette river and the ocean, east and west. It is less thickly settled than any other of the west-aide counties, but is perhaps richer than any in natural resources. Its eastern third is level alternate prairie and light black land, and the remainder is timbered hill land, admirably alapted for pasture. The level land of Benton is almost exactly like the level lands of the other west-side counties. It is well watered and timbered, rich in soil in short, a farmer's paradise. It is thickly settled and has been for many years, and it3 principal product is wheat. Stock, vegetables, fruit, etc., are grown here as in Yamhill and Polk, but not as an independent and special crop. The western part of Bsnton county is probably the best stock section in Oregon, though comparatively little stock is raised there. The hills, originally covered with dense forests, have been burned over and are now comparatively open. The debris of the burned forest has enriched the soil to a highly productive state and peculiarly adapted it for the various "tame" grasses- The hills' are seamed with creek and river bottoms which yield hay, or in fact, any. thing planted in Jjreat abundance. The climate is a softened ocean climate and the extremes of heat and co.'d are not known . Snows are rare and never lie on the ground more than two day3 together. Benton has a fair share of coast country and natural harbor at Yaquina bay. Its western part, particularly the Yaquina country, is rapidly filling up with immigrants. Benton is just now the most progressive county in western Oregon. The Oregon Pacific Railroad Co., is building a line from its eastern to its western extremes, termin ating at Yaqnina bay, and the enterprise has put new life into the county. The company proposes to extend its line across to an eastern connection and the people of Benton confidently hope to see Yaquina bay one of tbe chief foreign shipping points in the stata. The principal town iu Benton eottnty is General News. The city council of Salem soon to go ou of office as their last official act passed an ordiance reorganizing the fire department which has been approved by the mayor. It is thought that the new council will appeal it. The Baker city Tribune relates one among the worst attemps at murder we remember hearing of, in which one William Carll who being'destitute was picked up last fall on the road by teamster Mr. P. Brenan who- gave the destitute man shelter nd food and soon furnished him a job. A few days ago Bre nan unhitched hi3 horses to pull ont a team 3ter who had stuck in the mud which made Carll mad and they fell out and C.trll went away. At night Carll returned aud Brenan caught him in the act of making way with one of his horses and a blanket, Brenan gave pursuit and Carll stabed him twice with a a knife. Brenan will likely recover. It is thought that owning to the recent storms at sea that the Kate rnd Ann loaded with flour and other freight for Nestucca and Yaquina Bay is lost. We learn from the Itemizcr that Mr. Free" man Smith of Bueua Vi3ta. Or., died re cently at the ripe old age of 85 years. Mr. Smith was on board the Claremont said to have been the first steam boat ever built. He constmctedwmo of the first steamboats that ran on the Monongahela river. He came to Oregon in 18S5 and with his sons established the Buena Vista pottery. Cooper Bros, have sold their livery stable in Independence to A. J. Ooodman. Mr. II. Huschberg of Independence will open a brokers office at that place. He will do a general broker and banking business. Mr. Fredrick Schwatka arctic explorer, will lecture at Dallas on the- 10th or 11th of January. He will lecture at Corvallis soon after. Mr. Gaines Fisher of Salem recently sold his livjry stable in that place to Messrs. Ford and Ellis of Dalle3 for 10,000. Nearly every week the Portland papers announce the fact of some infant being left at some persons door step aud abandoned by its natural protectors. On last Friday morning another such, incident happened. During 1832 about 170,000 tons of eoal was mined from about Seattle, of which 101,418 tons were shipped to San Francisco and Portland and the balance consumed at home. On Puget Sound during 1832 the sum of 5200,000 was spent iu building vessels. The Portland Flouring Milk Company with a capital stock of .?200,000, was fully organized on Dec. 23th in Portland, by the election of W. S. Ladd, W. S. Sibson, A. Bush, D. Mauleay and James Steel as di rectors, of whom W. S. Ladd was choaen president and James Steel secretary. The co3t of the contemplated mill ware house and wharf is computed at 3150,000. It will be a roller mill of 750 barrels capacity of the latest modern devices and calculated to make successful head against the tbest flour of model mills in the world. Olympia sends away eight tons of oysters per week. The fleet that lies at Sand Island is fur ther augmented by the Elizabeth, which h clears 1 for Liverpool with 16.900 worth of wheat. Astorian. Thero are fourteen vessels ready for sea, says the Astorian, but cannot gjt over the Columbia river bar. At Sin Francisco, on Christmas day, there were twelve vessels bar bound, so that in this respect honors were easy. Mr. Holland Wand, of Tillamook writes that the water has been higher there than ever known before. Nearly all the stock in Big Nestucca is roported drowned and there i3 not 200Eb of flour in the valley. The staamer Shubrick came near being lost at sea during the recent heavy storms. When the storm commenced she was about 80 miles from the Columbia, when it ceased she was olT Vancouver Island. She was badly damaged. Mr. Petty rove offers to give a nice block of land in Port Townjend to any one who will put up a hotel thereon. A stage line is talked of between Yakima and Ainsworth. The New Tacoma land company sold 335 lots in the year 1882. The shingle mill at Whatcom make 400, -000 shingles in December. A new grist mill to be erected at Al powa, Garfield county. H. P. Temple of Puyallup is remodeling his sawmill and will soon cut 10,003 feet per day. The New Tacoma sawmills are running day and night, sawing 140,000 feet each 21 hours. ' A large steam flouring mill is nearly com pleted at Chehalis and a sawmill is in pro gress of construction. The Tacoma Manufacturing company wiJj erect a large planing m ill at that city at once. John Bull, a resident of Port Madison W. T., was shot and killed on Tuesday night of last week by an Indian with whom he had some difficulty before. A compauy of Seattle capitalists have ta ken up over 7000 acres of land in Moxee bottom, Yakima county, and will constru ct an irrigating ditch to cost $75,000. A new cannery building is being erected in Walla Walla, 90x20, to be used in the spring lor oaning trints ana vegecaDies. Its capacity will be 300 cans per day. The eoal mines of Paget sound are so pressed with orders that it is impossible to load all the vessels. -About 30 men are employed at the Taco ma lime kiln and about 100 barrels of lime are being turned out daily. A new kiln is about to be built. Between 90 and 100 men are employed at Lister's iron works in Tacoma. The pro prietor is nogotiating with Salt Lake parties with a view of developing the iron mines in that section and producing pig iron for heme use. White Salmon valley, 20 miles below the Dalles, in Klickitat county, is growing rap idly. Husum is the commercial center, about five miles from the Colnmbia river contains a grist mill and several business houses, with a fine water power. A saw mill is needed. PI onty of timber in the vi cinity, principally black and yellow pine and fir. At a distance of about three miles from Whatcom, near Harris bay, and plainly to be seen form the deck of passing steamboats is an old dilapidated building standing upon the high open ground, with no other build ings in sight, looking as deserted and cheer less as one could well imagine. Thi3 house was bnilt eight or ten years ago, intended for a hotel, as it was thought the railroad would make it3 terminus at that point. The building is said to have cost 53000. About six weeks ago Levi Buckner, left his ranch in Umatilla county, near Wild Horse creek, for Pendleton with a load of wheat. When last seen he was within five mile3 of Pendleton on the western stage road. All inquiries so far have failed to find him. Buckner is a discharged soldier, a sober, industrious man, about 35 years of age, medium hight, wears a dark mustache. He drove two fine mules to his wagon. It is supposed that he has been foully dealt with. It is not known that he had any great amount of money on his person. The government work at Cascade locks now furnishes work for 175 hands. A short time ago Hon. James Cheucweth of Douglas county sold his place near Oak land to James R. Dodge for 819,000. Mr. Dodge Ijas since rented him the same place together with his Green valley farm, for the term of five years, for the sum of $35,000. T. J. Dun ton, of Lane county, purchased 5000 cranberry cuttings while in the eas some time ago, and will plant them on some marshy land in his possession. He believes Oregon can raise as good cranberries as New Jersey. James Dixon, superendendent of the saw mill at Port Oxford, was (frowned there on the loth ult. No one witnessed the drown ing, but it is supposed Dixon slipped from a log, and in falliug struck other timbers, and Went into the water of the dam in an unconscious condition unable to help him self. The body was discovered soon after the accident, when the face was found to be badly cut and bruised. A gentleman in Umatilla county recently found that he was unable to buy cattle to stock his ranch in Colorado as cheeply in Oregon as he could in Iowa and Missouri Uattle are scarce in this state, and it was almost impossible to procure the supplp he wanted. The Evening Telegram complains of the gambling dens of Portland where the youths and minors of the city are admitted. It calls upon the city authorities to surpress the"m. A son of Chris Flinduer of Portland and another young man broke through the ice on Chonch lake last Tuesday while skating. It was a cold reception. They got out with much difficulty. - LEGAL.
